Laux Again To Describe Games Veteran Announcer Will Broadcast Ploy-By-Play On KXOK France Laux, veteran sports announcer who has described more than 2,100 big league baseball games in 16 years of broadcasting all types of sports events, again will broadcast play-by-play ac-coun's of all American and National League games at St. Louis next summer. Laux will begin describing all home games of the Cardinals and Browns over KXOK in St. Louis and a network of stations in Missouri and Illinois, April 21st when the 1943 season opens with the Browns playing the Chicago While Sox. Laux has a national reputation as a baseball announcer. He has described nine world series, six of them for national network listeners and in 1937 was named the "outstanding baseball announcer in the United States". The announcer estimates that he has poured some 30,000,000 odd words into microphones describing 2.150 baseball games. In addition, he has given radio reports on almost every type of sports event, including boxing, football, basketball, hockey, tennis and bowling. Tl'.e 45-year-old cigar smoking announcer was born in Guthrie, Oklahoma in December, 1897. He became interested in athletics while attending school in Oklahoma City and Bristow, and won quite a reputation at Oklahoma City University, then known as Oklahoma City College. Laux participated in virtually every sport played in high school and at college, winning a total of 16 letters. He left school before graduation, however, to accept an offer to coach a high schoof buse- ball team. ( L. .After the first. World. .War in which Laux served as a sergeant attached to the 259th Aerial Pursuit Squadron, he again took up his coaching duties, but managed to play some baseball himself. It was during this period that i I.aux found himself a part owner I nf a small baseball league in Oklahoma. "I'll nover forget thai," he says today, "because I j.scld Pepper Martin for $300." "Pepper" played on one of the : teams in the lefiguc, Laux cx- plained, and when it broke up he ; was sold for $300 to a neighboring 1 league. Laux broke into radio in 1927 on ; a station in Tulsa, Okla., describing, which isn't strange, baseball games. In 1929 he shifted in SI. Louis, which has been his home i and work place ever since, j The announcer, who signs his checks "J. Francis Laux", lives in southwest St. Louis with his wife and two boys, France Albert, 14 and Roger Harry, 12. Laux's favorite hobbies are sports he attends practically cv- I cry sporting event held in the : cily and is particularly interested in bowling. Last year he do-, nated two tr.iphies for individual i high scores in aPress-Radio-i Bowling Sweepstakes, which, it turned out later, were won by ! Laux and his wife. "Every one I thought I was an Indian trophy j giver", Laux says.
