This southpaw heaver reports to the Browns after a wonderful sea-|¥ son tn the Southern league, where he has been pitching stellar ball for Bert Niehoff's Mobile club. H has won something like 15 out of 20 games this season. St. Louis bought him last year from Orlando, in the Southern this spring for further seasoning. Under the tutelage of Del Baker, former Portland catcher, and Nie hoff, Henry has come thru with fine results. Henry may be to the Browns what Walter Mails was to the Cleveland Indians in 19%. Malls came up late in the season and saved the bacon for the tribe by winning seven straight games, He then helped cinch the big series with Brooklyn by more artis tie heaving. Hod Eller, one of the heroes of the 1919 world series with Cincin- nati, is about thru as a pitcher. He has been turned back to Oak- jland by the Mobile club. | Eller’s failure in the Southern league means that he's about done with baseball.
