New Raid by Mexicans
Begun as Two Giant
HurIers Are Taken ~
BY the Associoied Press

NEW YORK, April 27-Jorge
Pasquel's Mexican baseball league
has renewed its raids on the major
leagues.
Strangely silent since the snatch
ing of Brooklyn's Mickey owen sew
eral weeks ago, the Pasquel circuit
struck again last night by signing
Pitchers Ace Adams and Harry Field
man of the New York Giants.
Adams and Feldman each is re-
ported to have signed for $4,000 a
year plus a bonus for the same
amount with half his salary in ad-
vance.
Confirming the, signing of Adams
and Feldman, Pasquel, president of
the Mexican league, said he expected
more big league players to follow.
That's not ALL" Pasquel said. I'm
going to have a couple of more
bombshells for the major leagues in
the near future. I'm going to build
up my teams with good boys, and
that's what we're getting-the cream
of the crop"
The departure of the two hurlers,
which took place during the process
of yesterdays Brooklyn Giants
game, increased the total of Giant
jumpers to the Mexican loop to
eight.
Although disappointed over his
latest loss, and aware that others on
the Giant pay roll had been ap-
preached by Mexican League dele
gates, Manager Mel OFT expressed
confidence today that he won't lose
any more players.
The loss of the two pitchers comes
as severe blow to the Giants.
Adams, one of the most indefatig-
able pitchers Of modern times, has
appeared in more than 60 games in
each of the past four seasons. His
high being in 1943, when he estab-
lished modern record by appear
ing in 10 games.
Feldman, 26-year-old native
New Yorker, has been in the Giant
chain since 1888 and won 12 and
lost 13 last year. Adams, previously
had been reported to have turned
down a Mexican league offer of
$50, 600 for three years.
