Hickey has also been unofficiaIly in
formed that Carl Sawyer, Henri Ron
dean and Morley Jennings, all OF the
Millers. will soon join the Steel
League.
These players must be regarded as
contract Jumpers" President Hickey
said. Il am surprised to think that
officials OF the Government shipbuild-
ing program would think OF encour-
aging players to violate their con-
tracts"
Olaf Henriksen and Gus Williams,
OF Indianapolis, and Abe Bowman, of
Toledo, have jumped to the Steel
League.
