"Hitting .313 at Rochester in 1950 and .303 at Kansas City in 1951, Don is a good prospect to stick in the majors this year. He had two brief stints with the Cardinals in '50 and '51 but didn't make the grade.
An Army veteran, Don started in organized ball in 1942 and has batted in 60 or more runs every season. In 1947 at Columbus, he drove in nine runs in one game. As a Yankee farmhand at Kansas City in '51, he clouted 20 homers."

ARCHIE WILSON
"Archie began the 1952 season as a Yankee. Traded to the Senators on May 3, the next day he helped Washington win both games of a doubleheader. Archie got five hits in the two games, including a triple and a double.
He broke into baseball in 1951 with San Francisco, then went to Buffalo. He hit .316 for the season."
-1952 Bowman No. 210
"Archie came to the Yankees in September of 1951. He was traded to the Senators in May of '52 and went to the Red Sox in June. Archie had a great season with Buffalo of the International League in '51 when he led the league in hits, total bases and runs batted in.
He started in pro ball in 1947 after attending the University of California for three and a half years, and was with Kansas City in '49 and '50."
