Philippe Came From South Dakota Farits
Philippe came from South Dakota, a farm youth who posed as a pitcher to join a Mankato team. Captain Messerly of the Sioux City Iowa South Dakota league era hired him after a trial, and his early deception led to a pro debut. He later moved to the Red River Valley league and was picked up by Walter Ilmont of the Minneapolis club. His rise has been rapid, with parents living near Ashton, South Dakota, where he grew up on a farm and returns each winter.
