"This is Jack Reed's second season as a Yankee. Though he rarely starts a ball game, manager Ralph Houk considers this speedy Mississippian a valuable member of the club. He is an excellent outfielder and a good baserunner, and he has been used effectively as a frequent late-inning defensive outfielder and pinch runner. A graduate of Ole Miss, Jack was an all-around athlete in college. His value as a utility man with the Yankees has been displayed often since the start of last season."
