Chicago White Sox Now
Getting Business From
p. c. League Club
BY LEO II. LASSEN

aNA<O AAH ANaAAyDL4N
NERNoN has shifted IT'S baseball
v affections from New YORK 10
Chicago.
Before the baseball war with The
majors the Tigers and Yankees
we're very brotheriy. in fact the
Tigers sent all OF their high class
talent 70 the Ysnks. including Bob
Aeusel. Al Deyormer, BIZ Piercy.
Johnny Mitchell and divers others.
And IN turn the Yanks sent Il.
perisnced men. not good enough FOR
the majors. but great players in the
minors. TO the Tigers and they Just
about won two psnnants FOR the
Vernon club.
But when the Tanks wouldn't
deliver the men that Vernon wanted
for Jake May two years ago their
respective diamond paths severed.
And now TIA tho Chicago White
sor that are In working Agreement
with the Tigers. Already tho sox
have sent Ina Courtney, star south.
paw. 70 the Bengals and Leon
cadors. once star highlander with
the Brooklyn Dodgers.
And more men are 20 follow.
Frank Chance. veteran manager
OF the sox, has seen the young
Vernon team IN action and probably
realizes that there VIII be some
valuable talent for the majors de.
veloped among Mcdowell, Gr.ffen,
Warner. Blakesley. Gillespie. whit.
ney. Cruz and the rest Of the classy
young Tigers.
II wouldn't be surprising 70 learn
In the near future that the Chicago
Americans have an option on the
best Vernon talent.
And Vernon was one OF the club.
fighting the draft San Francisco
and Sacramento haven't taken any
men from tho majors as yet. but
they probably win when they are
offered the right men.
Vernon is the first OF the little
three" to see the light Working TO.
gether brings good men 20 the Coast
league and makes for better base
ball. Full parks will mean more
returns than selling one or two
stars. And II gives the league a
market for their players. The ma.
tors can only draft men sent out
to tho minors by them and Il still
leaves the field open for big sales
And II the men are subject 10 daft
only one can be taken each year
from each club. How smart bust.
ness men ever figured that they
were gaining anything by fighting
the majors Is beyond the average
mans intelligence.
Vernon win profit by the agree.
ment with the White Sox as Il will
make a pennant contender out OF
club that finished last a year ago.
