A smattering of people can be seen watching in the stands while the umpire and catcher. Photograph appears with the headline, "The "Scourge of Southwest City, Mo." Larrups a Long One," Los Angeles Times, 10 July 1935: 5. Text from newspaper caption: Have a look at Jim Oglesby, the Angels' leading hitter, in action. Oglesby, the slugging Seraph first-sacker, is now belting the ball at a .363 clip as a result of a sensational battling streak during which he has raised his average forty points in the last four weeks. During that time he failed to hit safely in but one game. Oglesby, in the opinion of baseball critics, is a cinch to be sold to the majors this year.
