SEGRIST'S RECORD
Grand average .295

Addition of Cowboy Kal Segrist,
pride of Observation-Disclosures, TO the
roster Of the San Antonio Bears, in
exchange for hard cash passed on to
the owners Of the Dallas Steers,
makes" the Bear infield. From a
very dubious looking arrangement. the
Brnin inner defense, with the addi-
ton of Segrist at third base and Ray
Flashkamper at short. has taken on
a healthy look and a place with the
best in the league, from fielding
standpoint, anyhow.
Flashkamper and GolVin. at first
base, are fielding fools. and Second
sacker Mike Gonzales is as steady as
they come. SegriSt is the kind of
fielder who tries for everything
usually succeeds He has a wonder
full arm. His one fault has been an
inclination TO be thoughtless.
The Bears got him mainly to put
some punch in the batting order. ac-
cording 70 President Ables. who has
been angling for him a good while
but did not close the deal until yes
terday. He hit .202 last summer,
and he drove in IS runs. Timely
hitting, especially against Fort Worth
and San Antonio, featured his 1925
work. He is known as a "battler'
and hustler"
