The New York Yankees announced the sale of pitcher James Tobin of the Oakland club of the Pacific Coast leagues to the Pittsburgh Pirates. Tobin, a right-hander who went 16 and 8 for Oakland last season, was with the Yanks at their St. Petersburg camp but was returned to Oakland in the first cut by Manager Joe McCarthy. In Washington, Laverne Baxter, 218, Iowa, used a flying mare to pin Wee Willie Davis, 265, West Virginia, in 25 minutes to win the main wrestling bout.
