Holman Poised for Major League Move Next Year
Ernie Holman, star third baseman for the Dallas Steers, is expected to be sold to a major league club this season. Dallas Steers vice president Bob Tarleton lauded Holman as the league’s best fielder with the strongest throwing arm and predicted a .280 batting mark, while Indianapolis scouts urged acquisition but Dallas plans to wait for a top major league offer. Holman, also a Wellington cotton buyer in the off season, aims for another strong Texas League season before his rise to the majors.
