Rival owners agree he is the league's most improved player, hitting .367 for the first five weeks. When Joe's olaer brother, Vince, Jjust turned 21, got Joe a trial with the Seals last year it cost him his own position with that club. The owners released him in favor of Joe. But Vince himself is going strong in the Hollywood outfield | this season. | Gabby Street sees major league possibilities in four members of his San Francisco Mission club. They are Pitchers John Babich, 20, of Richmond, Cal, and Wayne Os- borne, 21, of San Jose, and Ells- worth Dahlgren, first baseman, and Al Wright, second baseman, both 21 and San Prancisco boys. A Greek And A Portuguese All four were Mission regulars last year, Babich winning 20 and losing 15 while Osborne has set {a winning pace this season after a mediocre 1933 showing.

Sacramento has Alex Kampouris, keystoner, and Manuel Salvo, right handed pitcher, each in his early 20’s. Big league scouts already | have shown more than passing in- terest in this ‘pair. Kampouris is one of the few Greeks in organ- ized baseball while Salvo’s Portu- |, guese nationality makes him also - in the national ‘pastime. .- — ATTENTION B. P. O.
