"Up among the leaders in National League fielding last year was Hugh Critz, a Starkville, Miss., boy who crashed into professional baseball in 1920 with Chattanooga in the Southern League and has been playing second base ever since. He entered the National League via the Cincinnati gate and has been with the Giants since 1930. He finished 1933 as one of the two best fielding second base- men with an average of .982. As a boy Hugh was keen on pitching, but when he got into professional baseball he just gravitated to the infield and has been there ever since. He is 5 feet, 8 inches tall and weighs around 150 pounds."
