Bears Buy First Baseman Leslie From Coast League
Roy Tessie, Hollywood first baseman in the Pacific Coast League, was sold to the San Antonio club in the Texas League. Leslie, a blond powerful right handed hitter, came to Hollywood from Salt Lake City in 1923 and played three seasons in the Coast League. He began in 1916 with Ennis and also played for New Orleans and Philadelphia Athletics before joining Salt Lake and Hollywood. The Bears expect Leslie to play first base and boost their offense with his power.
