Young Dickey Sold To Chicago White Sox By Oklahoma City
George Dickey known as Skeeter, a 6 foot 4 inch catcher, was sold yesterday by the Oklahoma City Indians to the Chicago White Sox. Once weak at the plate, he has blossomed this season batting 319 in the Texas league and is praised for his arm and game-calling. Dickey, 25, previously tried out with the Yankees and others but would rather play against his brother Bill than with him. He began pro ball in 1933 with Wheeling and moved through Yankee farm systems.
