Pruett, however had done so we'll as
collegian that it was thought best
to play it safe, He was signed and sent
to the Tulsa club Of the Western
League for experience.
Down Tulsa way Pruett didn't set
the natives wild. He managed TO break
into 30 games. He started a few, but
was used more to finish a majority
of the games he worked. Tulsa was
last in the race and Pruetts record Of
four games won and seven lost was
far from impressive.
It was evident to The management
OF the st. Louis Browns that to be up
in the race this year 10 the club must
develop or purchase a good left handler
In an effort to acquire such a pitcher
st. Louis traded II ball players to Col
umbus for Dave Danforth, who had
big year in the American Association.
Pruett in all proba ability never will
forget the first time he faced Babe
Ruth in full game. All he did was
TO strike out the Sultan Of Swat" three
times One strike was called, one was
puny foul tip, and at the other seven
pitches Ruth swung hard and missed.
