Giants Add Pitchers From Columbus and Beaumont
Manager Bill signed Terry to acquire the draft price from Columbus of the American Association. Paul earned his first big league win in two years on this club, despite reduced speed, showing control and a sharp change of pace. Rowe, sidelined by an arm ailment, won 19 for Detroit in 1936 but only one in 1937, while Dean struggled after moves to Texas League stints. Returning star form appeared elusive until this season’s early success with four wins and no losses.
