He is six feet, four inches in height, and weighs 215 pounds. Last year he batted .301 in 117 games and ranked high in fielding his position. Lou Gehrig by arrangement with Christy Walsh. This is one of the 1934 series of pictures of Big League baseball stars. Collect the entire series. Big League chewing gum, Goudey Gum Co., Boston. Made by the originators of Indian gum. G.G.
