He recalls 1923 to 1925 teams with Ike Boone Cy Rosenthal and Danny Clark, noting strong bats but weak pitching. He questions modern power and cites the Ft. Worth Cats and local era rivals.

Ex-Mission Manager Heffner Praises Club Quality and Gary Bell
Don Heffner now coaching the Kansas City Athletics says the club plays hard and gives 100 percent. Gary Bell of San Antonio looked good against Cleveland, likely to stay in the American League a long time. Baltimore Orioles’ minor-league operation posted profits and losses, with San Antonio and Kingsport in the system. Major league affiliation and a joint operation are cited as preferable to outright ownership, per Sporting News figures and Baltimore financials.
