BIG RIGHTHANDER WOULD MEAN FLAG FOR TIGERS;. BILL PIERCY JOINS ’EM BY LEO H. LASS Weiser Dell, the big pitching ace of the Vernon Tigers, who has jumped the club, according to wire reports from California, is stil with the Tigers and has not made up his mind“yet to quit the champions } This news was received from Manager Essick of the Tigers from Sacramento this morning. The wire follows “Leo H. Lassen, Seattle Star: Dell has offer of perma- nent position at Richfield, Idaho, and will make his decision next week as to whether he will accept it. “W. I. ESSICK.” Why all this excitement about this bird Dell? Well, it’s just this. Dell is just about the best right-handed flinger in' the league today. Bill Piercy, the star of the Sacramento hurling corps last year, who went up to the New York Yanks, has been turned over to the Tigers * part ent for Bob Meuse! and Byron Houck, one o! the Bee buses the Tigers had t year, is coming back in the fold soon. With this collection of hurlers it just about means a }pennant for the Tigers IF Dell sticks on the job. Dell won a lot of games for the Tigers last year and has showed fine form this spring and would win a lot more be- fore the season is over. Man-| ager Essick will undoubtedly pull all the stuff he knows in an effort to keep the big fel- low in the fold. The Tigers will boast of even a better staff of mound ‘The Cincinnati!
