Spokane Signs Ex-Salem Hurler
SPOKANE, Jan. 4 — Ray McNulty, a righthander pitcher who won seven and lost nine for Salem last season, was signed by Spokane of the Western International league Thursday.

Rainiers Lose Men to Military Draft
SEATTLE, Jan. 8—The Seattle Rainiers' head office said Monday night the Pacific Coast league baseball club has suffered its first draft losses.
Charles Davis, prize rookie shortstop, and Bill Nadeau, young pitcher, both have been called for military service. Davis was optioned last season to Spokane of the Western International league but was due to be recalled by Seattle next spring.

Caps Sign Spina
When baseball, along with football, folded at St. Mary's, Charley Spina of Reno was able to make a good deal in entering organized baseball. He picks up a $1500 bonus and enters play at the "B" level for Vancouver — which is why this deal was picked over one offered by the Phillies, which would have involved play at Klamath Falls — but first, and that may be a considerable hitch in the proceedings, he enters the navy.
