He has more than made up for that failure in the years since that time. Considered most dangerous batter on the Yankees and a fine second baseman. Last year he hit for .300 in 141 games and fielded .978. Lazzeri is 28 years of age. He is five feet, 10-1/2 inches tall and weighs 160 pounds. He bats and throws right-handed. He was bought by the Yankees from Salt Lake City in 1926. This is one of a series of 240 baseball stars. Big League chewing gum, Goudey Gum Co., Boston. Made by the originators of Indian gum, G.G. Co., 1933."
