NEW YORK. Oct. IA base
ball scouts appeal to the desire
of mother to see her son as a
World Series star brought Joe
Gordon to the Yankees.
They were sitting around a
luncheon table in Portland. Ore.
six years ago. Bill ESsick, the
Yankee scout, had made his Of
fer. he knew that other clubs
were after Joe, that the Red Sex
agent had an appointment that
afternoon. Joe wasn't OF age
and Mrs. Gordon was the one
who had to sign the contract.
Some day, Essick told the
mother, you viii be travelling
clear across the continent to see
your boy play in a World Series.
That was the clincher. Other
clubs might or might not get into
the fail classic bu Mrs. Gordon
was convinced the Yankees
would. She sighed And the
Yankees got the kid who grew
I'D to be perhaps the best second
base man of all time. the hitting
star of the Yankees triumph
over the Dodgers with a record
equaIling 500 average.
Gordon is cna of the seven
current Yankees that Essick
sent 10 New York. Another
pretty fair country ball player
signed by EsSick Is q fellow
named Joe DiMaggio. Essick. q

other scouts to turn him down
But ESsick had the initiative TO
take Joe to a prominent Coast
doctor for a private examination
On his assurance that Joe's knee
would cause him no more trou-
bic, Essick bought DiAdag from
San Francisco for a paltry SIS
600.
Essick also enjoys a chuckIe
over his success in beating the
Giants to Lefty Gomez. He had
inquired about Gomez and had
told the Seals president the
Yanks might be interested
The Seals put a $4,000 tag on
him Essick told them that was
too much but asked for an op-
ton. After talking with New
York ne offered s25, which
was rejected. automatically end
ing the option. Essick still liked
Lefty and called New York again.
When ne returned the Seals
told him the Giants had an op-
lion Bill offered $4,000 and
this was accepted when the
Giants scout allowed his op-
lion 10 lapse.
Essick now covers the Mid
West. His best prospect for next
year he believes is Johnny Lin
