Something to Crow About.
So the Coveleskies, the Milans and
the Wheats have something to crow
about, for when a ball-playing family
sends two of its members to the big
show It has the right to claim distine-
tion.
In the minors this year there is a
case where three brothers may be
found playing ball, though not in the
same class, Otis Crandall is pitching
in the Coast league and his brother
Karl is a member of the Salt Lake
club of the same circuit. A younger
brother of this pair has bloomed out
a8 a pitcher and, although he has had
several trials with big minor league
teams, he Is still getting his education
in the smgller minor leagues.
