"If the total popular vote should be
In the ration of II to 81, for instance,

Rhem was signed by the Cards as a

pitcher for Clemson College. He was
sent to Fort Smith of the Western
Association in 1924 and was the lead
ing strike-out pitcher of organized base
ball that season, tanning 282 batters
in 81 games.
In 1925, with the Cardinals, he was

games and losing Is. In 1925 he
struck his best stride. He was in
splendid condition at the opening of
the season and won IL of his first IL
contests, keeping the Cards near the
top until the other pitchers could get
into condition. He finished with 20
victories and defeats.
Rhem was holdout the next Spring
and did not report to the Cards until
a few days before the start of the sea-
son. He won his first two starts, but
the strain of pitching without train
ing was too much for him and his arm
became sore. He lost his overland de-
livery, his most effective pitching style,
and won only 10 games and lost IL.

has been waived out of the major
leagues and has been released to Min
neapolis in the American Association

The announcement came as a sur
prise as Rhem could have been claimed
by any major league club for the $500
waiver price.
"Rhem did not fit into our club"
Hickey declared. HE thought more
about doing as he pleased than he did
about helping out the club. Further
more, in his infractions of club rules,
he took others of the club with him.
He was not the sort that fits into our
present plans and so we passed him
along.
"The fact that the other major
league clubs passed him along indicates
that Rhem has been pretty well sized
up by the managers of both leagues" :"
Phil Ball, president of the st. Louis
