STAMEY BOUGHT BY CARDINALS Harold "Hoss” Stamey, former Ecusta baseball player, has been purchased by the St. Louis Car dinals from the Philadelphia Phillies. According to the Sporting News, baseball’s foremost newspaper, published in St. Louis, Har old was one player among the 20 selected out of 5,000 minor league players eligible for draft at the recent annual draft meeting of major league baseball clubs. Harold played baseball with Ecusta in 1947, that fall he was signed by Johnny Nee to play for Americus, Georgia, a Phillie farm club of the Georgia-Florida League. Harold finished two successful seasons with Americus and was sold to Utica, New York of the Eastern League.

Stamey, along with 5000 other minor League players, was eligible for draft by the majors, and the St. Louis Cardinals bought him from Utica for $6,000. The Sporting News teported that the Cardinals announced they would transfer Hal Rice to make room for Stamey on their roster. We here at Ecusta are truly proud of "Hoss” and the showing he has made in professional baseball. With him goes the best wishes of all Ecustans that he will continue to rise in the an nals of baseball. Ecustans look forward to seeing Stamey play ball in the big league parks as they have enjoyed seeing Ecusta’s Gil Coan of the Washington Senators for the past three years. CAME CLOSEST TO NAMING PENNANT WINNERS Clyde Summey of the Maintenance department came closest to picking Baseball’s Major League pennant winners for the 1949 season. Clyde, hit ting safely, with a batting average of 500 percent in picking the Brooklyn "Dodgers” of the Na tional League, came mighty close to batting 1000 as his Boston "Red Sox” were nosed out by the New York "Yankees” for the American League pennant by one game. This past season displayed one of the most exciting finishes for both leagues in the history of baseball. The World’s Series’ teams were not decided until the last game of the season was over. Although the Yankees and the Dodgers won the right to play in the series, it could have been the Red Sox and the Cardinals, as each team was nosed out by one game. 19
