PITCHER FRANK OBERLIN
SOLD TO WILKESBARRE
Former Washington Twirler Had Everything Except
Nerve While in the Big League Other Gossip.
By WILLIAM PEET.

Pitcher Frank Oberlin. who was carried
by the Nationals all last season until
July and then turned loose. was yester-
DAY purchased by Manager Clymer. Of
the Wnkesbarre club. OF the New York
State League.
Oberlin was a fine example of a young
man who had everything that goes TO
make up the successful big league twirl-
or. except the necessary nerve. There
was just the semblance Of the saffron
hued streak about Oberlin's makeup,
and he showed It In more than one game
while wearing a Washington uniform
Two years ago last September Oberlin
was recalled from Minneapolis by Joe
Cantillon, and worked few games dur
ing the flag end OF the season. with indif-
ferent success. He was taken 10 Norfolk
with the Nationals last spring. and look
ed mighty good against the Virginia
| League clubs.
Oberlin pitched for the Nationals
against the Baltimore Orioles here on
April TO- and won MS game, 20 !, only
allowing four scattered hits. Fine things
were predicted, but unfortunately they
ola not AtaleildilLs, Tor the next cnance
Oberlin had 10 show his class was on
| April 3. when the New York Yankees
beat him 8 TO ,, with Jack Warhop in the
| box
From that time on ObeTlin failed 10
show the necessary big league nerve. and
after a series In Boston during the latter
part OF June. he was released.
In the New York State League Oberiin
should show to advantage. as he is a real
minor league twirler. and nothing else.
