Quest For Stars In Minors Leads To Pacific Coast
The Pacific Coast is again a major source of talent for the big leagues as clubs bid high for Coast League stars. Tony Laterre, Lazarre, and Rhyne head a group eyed by Giants, Yankees, and Senators, with prices likely surpassing 100000 and possibly breaking past previous records as multi-club bidding signals a busy 1926 season for young minor leaguers.

The report lists Ray Jacobs of Los Angeles Mormon infielders Bill Huanefield of Portland and Mervin Shea of Sacramento as top catchers and hints Nerman and O Doul may join the Cincinnati Reds. Huanefield is linked to the Athletes while Jacobs and Beck are tied to the Cubs. The takeaway is a surplus of infielders and outfielders with limited pitching strength.
