Otis Crandall Sent to Oakland Of Pacific Coast League.

Otis Crandall, of near Goodland, for the past twelve or thirteen years a big league pitcher, has been released by Fielder Jones of the St. Louis Browns, to Oakland, of the Pacific coast league. Otis started his career with the Frankfort, Ind., team and later the Three I League, from where the New York Giants secured him. Otis was with the Giants during the major portion of his big league career but spent a few weeks with the St. Louis club of the same league, from where he hopped to the now defunct Federal league, and was secured by the Browns when that league broke up. The Pacific coast league is a mighty fast league and ranks next to the majors in class, and Otis should enjoy several years of good baseball yet in this company.
