Charlie Fowler. a 23-year-old

had a 1873 record. He has spent
the last two seasons pitching for
the Quantico Marines. He is
scheduled to report to Colorado

Perhaps the brightest prospect
of the four is DeSimon. property

The Yankees think so highly
of him that George Weiss, gen.

Even such unbiased baseball

that the 26-year-old strong boy
