Boots Poffenberger Keeps San Diego Pitching Strong
Eccentric righthander Boots Poffenberger of the San Diego Padres stays effective in the Pacific Coast League. He hurled a 6-3 win over Hollywood and a 6-0 shutout of Oakland, allowing five and six hits respectively, while collecting four hits in seven at bats. The Hornell club rests in fourth in the Pony League and Oil City sits second in the Penn State League after training at McCurdy Field. The Yankees tease Charlie Keller about his hitting slump as Ty Cobb once tutored him, and Joe McCarthy sighs that slumps fade in time with a World Series in view.
