IT is doubtful If there has ever been
a season when 80 many players turn

reversal Of form In the minor leagues.
Take. for instance, the members OF the

to the star playing Of the major league

Hughes. The Chicago Americans
thought Owens and Altizer were NOT
good enough and sent them back to the
Glass A league. Rossman was sold by
Detroit to st. Louis, but he refused
to play there and consequently was
hurried or to the minors. The st.
Louis Americans also fred Hobe Fer
ris and Jimmy Williams, believing that
the pair had seen their best days. But
It's dollars to doHghnuts that Manager
Jack O'Conner would give anything to
have the pair back. Rossman would
also help the Browns considerably.
1t is due to the work Of these veter.
ans that Minneapolis is In line for the

Jamesey hit just about go last season

third on a wild throw. With two men
