Brannon and Kress Win Posts With Browns Around Second. ATHLETICS GET OBWOLL Giants Use Walker; Others to Get Chance. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, March 29.—0f the hundreds of rookies culled from highways and byways of the baseball world, all save twenty or thirty are headed back to the bushes for another season as the majority of the major league clubs turn to tried and true players to carry on their 1928 campaigns. Two rookies from the Tulsa Western League club have made a great impression with the St. Louis Browns, and reports drifting north say that this pair, Otis Brannon and Ralph Kress, will do with the Browns what Tony Lazzeri and Mark Koenig did with the Yankees in 1926—make good on either side of the keystone sack in their first season in the majors. The Philadelphia Phillies also will start the season with two youngsters in their infield, Bill Kelley from Minneapolis at first and Pinky Whitnew from New Orleans at third. Two of the newest and best additions to the major league personnel may turn out to be a pair of left-handed pitchers, Ossie Orwoll, a six-footer, who was with Milwaukee last season, and William Walker, who pitched for Denver last season. Orwoll wears the uniform of the Philadelphia Athletics and if he lives up to the many nice things said about him the A’s will have three of the finest southpaws in the game, Grove, Walberg and Orwoll. Walker is with the Giants and Roger Bresnahan, famous catcher of other days, acclaims him as the
