"After toiling in the minors for five years, Whitey made the big leagues last year and took over a Senators outfield berth. In addition to his regular chores, he pinch-hit 12 times, collecting six hits to tie for American League pinch hit honors.
In the minors, the fleet-footed flychaser topped the Sooner League in 1949 and '50 in defense. After playing on five clubs in the next two years, Whitey was called to military service, then came to Washington in a trade."
