DERRILL PRATT IS PLEASED
Vetaran Second Baseman Delighted at
Transfer From Boston Red
Sox to Tigers.
——
One player whi won't appeal to the
“union” because he was “sold like a
slave” is Derrill Pratt, who enthuses
over the prospects of himself and his
tears now that he's a Detroit Tiger.
“The Tigers will win the pennant in
1925 sure,” says the veteran second
baseman. “If the Tigers had had one
mora capable pitcher,” continu
Pratt, “they would have won the 1022
pennant, Pillette couldn't do it all by
himself. Rip Collins, as good a piteh-
er as there Is in the country, will be
with him next year and we'll const
