Kelley was a long time gett ng; a thorough test in the big show,! but he was one of last season's', sensations. When no other big| league club wanted to take a chance on Kelley, because of his age, Con- nie Mack picked up a prize. f Washington tried Kelley in 1925, and 1926, decided he was not ready. ‘The Giants bought him from Mem-' phis two years later but, after |Daily Sport;Cartoon HARRY SSH(ROLE FCRA "PITCHER, SN 4 \/”\J IS TO MANAGE ALBUQUERQUE § Former St. Louis Cardinal Catcher Shouts Joy- fully at Job PHOENIX, Ariz, April 14. — Bill spring training, turned him back Delancey, former St. Louis Car- Perhaps the fact that Washington|ging) catcher, is having the time of and McGraw had passed him up| ¢ o caused other managers and scouts| to ignore him. At any rate, Kelley was buried in the Southern League| and it was not until 1935 when the Giants, badly in need of twirling| talent at the fag end of the pen-| nant race, made a cid for the bur- ly pitecher. Atlanta, also needed | him, set such a high figure that New York lost interest. Kelley Has Everything | Mack remarked, during the early| part of last year’s campaign, that he did not understand why Kelley had not been sold or drafted ear- lier in his career. I “Kelley has everything a big League pitcher needs,” said the dean of managers. “He may not have the fastest ball or the best curve in the big leagues but he has enough. The reason for his effec- tiveness is that he is a smart pitch-| er. Few big leaguers are smarter. He has a great memory and never: forgets what sort of pitch a batter| hit safely on a previous occasion. He rarely makes the same mistake twice.” A Flood Hero His appendicitis robbed Kelley of a grand opportunity to win 20 games in his first full season as a ma- jor leaguer. That was well within sight. But Harry is used to bad breaks. A ball-player with less courage would have given up hope of ever making the majors as the years rolled by. Kelley has more than one man's share of courage. He proved that in' many a torrid baseball campaign. | Recently, when flood waters caus-| ed suci havoe, he was one of the heroes of the flooded St. Francis river section. His two speed boats chugged out on the high waters rescuing the stranded. He con- tinued on his errands of mercy as long as the crisis existed. Loss of sleep and badly blistered hands were nothing as long as there was need to carry on rescue work. - RZBEKAHS Meeting at 8 o'clock Wednesday night at Oddfellows’ Hall. Good at- tendance desired.

Club of the Arizona-Texas League, Delancey — almost fully recovered from a serious 2-year shouted joyfully: illness “I feel just like a kid with a new |toy!” When Delancey came here nearly two years ago after a brilliant sea- son behind the plate for the Cards he was so ill that for months he seldom got out of bed. Tanned by the sun and now weighing more than 200 pounds, De- lancey is anxiously awaiting open- ing of the Arizona-Texas League campaign. The New Mexico club will oper- ate as a farm for the Sacramento club of the Pacific Coast League, which in turn is affiliated with the Cardinals. 'Wears Series Uniform Delancey sent for his old Cardinal uniform—the one he wore in the “Alaska” by Lester D. Srved v The A 193¢ World Series when the Cards beat Detroit. He has a new catch- er's mitt and a mask, explainng that he intends to give the rockie pitchers a lot of pointers he learned while receiving the dazzling slanis of Dizzy Dean. “The doctors have been tryinz new serum injection ocn me latel Delancey said. “I've practica.ly ie- covered from the lung trouktle. “In fact, I might play occacicn- ally for Albuquerque.” Delancey still has his mind set on returning to the major leagues (if his health will permit.
