Ping Bodie Seeks Return With Athletics After Coast League Run

Ping Bodie, former White Sox outfielder, set to begin his thirtieth year as he eyes a big league return with the Athletics next season after a strong showing with the San Francisco Seals this year. Born in San Francisco of Italian and English descent, Bodie started as a pitcher, moved to infield and outfield, and previously played for the White Sox from 1911 to 1914 before joining the Seals. A clash of topics interrupts this note as orders arrive for return of a field hospital and the 22nd Engineers battalion, while ads offer Pace course details and a YMC A English pamphlet.
