BY the Associated Press.
r OS ANGELES, December 8.-Dick
Ward, who led the Pacific Coast
League pitchers with Is victories
against 9 defeats last season, has been
sold to the Chicago Cubs.
The Angels receive an unannounced
sum of cash, Outfielders Frank Demaree
and Jim Mosolf, Pitcher Roy Henshaw
and another hurler to be turned over
by the Cubs later.
Ward, who comes from Everett,
Wash, proved to be the outstanding
youngster in the Coast League last
year-his second year in organized base
ball. Besides topping the league in
pitching percentage, he ranked third
In allowing earned runs.
Although he did not pitch a shut out
until the last week of the season, he
turned in numerous 1-run games, one
Of them single-hit affair against Oak
