"Won't Stick" But a quick survey of the deals that sent these. young men to their present employers strongly indi cates the Yankees had no genor- stns EharA.tha.wAallh irtoaa In fn.l it's doubtful the New Yorkers had any notion these pitchers would stick in the majors, much Ies blossom into stars. For example. Johnson, who had been relegated to the minors after a 4-3 season with Now York in 1947, was lumped together with Duane Pillette (now with Balti more), Jim Delsing (now with De troit), George Stirnweiss and $50,(100 in a 1950 deal with the St. Louis Browns that brought pitch ers Joe Ostrowski and Tom Fer.
