First Baseman Hal Chase of the Yankees Profile
A satirical profile by Homer Croy portrays Hal Chase as Yankees captain who loves billiards and camping over formal dining. Born in Los Angeles, he is framed as a gifted athlete with sharp humor, a college background in multiple sports, a Leonia, New Jersey home, and a taste for Milton and poetry.

Tannehill Signs as South Bend Outfielder in Central League
Jesse Tannehill, former Pirates Highlanders and Red Sox star left hander, signs to play outfield for the South Bend club of the Central league. He believes his crafty left wing can last a few years as an outfielder after losing some edge at pitching. He tried an Osella ban with the Reds last season but that failed. He recently recommended a mat as an umpire to Neal of the Blue Grass league, who joked about his friendship and whether he would vouch for a preferred candidate.
