Claim: Vito Tamulis was with the Newark Bears from 1936 to 1937 before being traded to the St. Louis Browns in 1938.
Evidence: After the 1935 season, Tamulis was weakened by a prolonged bout of pleurisy, and as a result spent the 1936 and 1937 seasons with the Newark Bears of the International League. After the 1937 season, he was traded to the St. Louis Browns for Harry Davis. Tamulis appeared in only three games for the Browns early in their 1938 season, taking losses in all three appearances with a 7.63 ERA.
