New Southpaw to Join A's
Victoria's pitching staff received further strength yesterday when a telegram from Joe Devine, New York Yankees scout, revealed Ray Fortier, 21-year-old southpaw, had been optioned to Victoria by the Sane Diego Padres.
Fortier is playing his first season in organized ball but has been pitching in fast semi-pro company in California.
To make room for him on the roster, the Athletics have sent Bill Rothrock to Ventura of the California League.
