Hornsby era starts with Blake release in Oklahoma City
S.dare NE of the first actions taken by Rogers Hornsby after taking over the Oklahoma City club in the Texas league was to release Fred Sheriff Blake. Blake sought work with major leagues and SCOUT positions in Cincinnati with Watt Fowell last December but found none. He later signed with Oklahoma City and lived in Beckley, unsure of his next move. The Kanawha Country club hosts its annual women’s invitational golf tournament today with golfers from tri state clubs, while Edgewood plans a similar event next Tuesday. Roy Heinlein predicts George Pryor will shine at William and Mary after being recruited by Carl Voyles on Pop Werner’s recommendation, with Pryor a standout at Charleston High School under Coach Gene Hester. Other Charleston figures noted include Andrew Van Bibler Brawley, now at a distillery, and Sam Audin, a West Virginia University alumnus and former Charleston gridiron star, who recently earned a chemical engineering degree and searches for local plant work.
