Kelley Repeats Iron Man Stint For Memphis Chicks
Memphis Tennessee May 15 AP Harry Leroy Kelley a stout East Arkansas milkman from Vanndale Ark has again become public enemy number one among Southern Association batmen. He has developed a right arm that enables him to pitch two games in one day. Manager Doc Prothro normally avoids iron man duties but Kelley has proven ready for emergencies. This year he has six wins with no losses in the season's first month and already used an ironman effort by pitching nine innings to win a game and coming back to help a teammate for a second victory. In 1932 Kelley previously helped the Chicks with two doubleheaders late in the season.
