McGowan News Spurs Giants Prospects in Phoenix
The Houston County star Mickey McGowan, a left handed pitcher, draws local backing as he trains with the New York Giants in Phoenix. Giants manager Mel Ott expects a smooth jump from the Southern Association after a 22–10 season with the Atlanta Crackers. McGowan, 25, logged 2.80 ERA and 149 strikeouts, with Bill Ayers also accompanying him to the majors. Judge Albert Logue recounts a quixotic quail tale alongside a 30 year old window collision anecdote from Dothan.

Yankees Likely to Finish Second If DiMaggio Fails to Heal
In Tampa Florida April near the start of the season experts warn the Yankees may finish in the second division of the American League without Joe DiMaggio. With DiMaggio hurt, Honus Wagner era is visible as the Yankees lag behind Boston and Detroit. Without a .300 hitter, power in the lineup is scarce. Spud Chandler and Field Bevens are proven, but the rest of the pitching staff falters. Harris even tests 36-year-old George McQuinn at first base after selling Connie Mack’s discarded star. The club’s fall from grace is clear as DiMaggio’s return remains uncertain.
