C. League Club BY LEO H. LASSEN ERNON has shifted its baseball affections from New York to Chicago, Before the baseball war with the majors the Tigers and Yankees were very brotherly. In fact the Tigers ai! of thelr high class talent to the Yanks, including Bob Meusel, Al Devormer, Bill Pierey, Johnny Mitchell and divers others. And in turn the Yanks sent ex périenced men, not good enough for but great players in the they just about won nants for the Vernon club. But when the Yanks wouldn't deliver the men that Vernon wanted for Jakie May two years ago their respective diamond paths severed. And now !t'a the Chicago White Sox that are in working agreement the Tigers. Already the Sox have went Ira Courtney, star south- paw, to the Bengals and Leon Cadore, once star righthander with the Brooklyn Dodgers. And more men are to follow. Frank Chance, veteran manager of the Sox, has seen the young Vernon team fn action and probably realizes that there will be some valuable talent for the majors de veloped among McDowell, Griffen, Warner, Blakesley, Gillesple, Whit- ney, Cruz and the rest of the classy young Tigers, It wouldn't be surprising to learn lin th some new sprint record hung up by|race the goose against all aspiring e near future that the Chicago Americans have an option on the best Vernon talent. And Vernon was one of the clubs fighting the draft! San Francisco and Sacramento haven't taken any men from the majors as yet, but they probably will when they are offered the right men, Vernon ts the first of the “tittle three” to see the light. Working to- gether brings good men to the Coast league and makes for better base ball. Pull parks will mean’ more returns than selling one or two jstars. And {t gives the league a market for their players. The ma- jors can only draft men sent out to the minors by them and it still leaves the fleld open for big sales. And if the men are subject to éraft only one can be taken each year from each club. How smart busi- ness men ever figured that they were gaining anything by fighting the majors is beyond the average man’s intelligence. Vernon will profit by the agree. ment with the White Sox as it will make @ pennant contender out of a club that finished last a year ago, BOXER KAYOED; IN HOSPITAL |.
