The first time Vosmik came to | bat Hoyt tried to scare him by pitching one at his head. On the next pitch, Vosmik tripled to the scoreboard. And on the next trip to the plate he blew himself to a single. He went five days before he was stopped by Vic Sorrel and Art Herring, of Detroit. Sorrell, ‘Joe says, has been the toughest pitcher he has faced so far. The following game, however, he got three hits | out of four times up .

He finished the 1929 season there and batted .391. The following year he was with Terre Haute in the Three I league where he led the league with a .397 batting average. Evans thereupon decided to give Vosmik a trial in fast'company, and took him along for tralning this spring.
