LOUIS, July 20 (T.Rt The New York Yankees recalled Pitcher Pit-cher Kemp Wicker from their Newark farm of the International i league today to replace Johnny Broaca who deserted the team without notice in Cleveland Sunday. Sun-day. Broaca checked out of the Yankee Yan-kee Hotel Sunday and his whereabouts where-abouts are unknown. I Manager Joe McCarthy suspended sus-pended Broaca indefinitely and fined hi a $250. It is not considered con-sidered iikely that he will have a chance to return, even if he wants to. He has had a sore arm all season and had won but one game while losing four. He appeared very depressed after being hammered for six runs and five hits in less than two innings when he worked against Detroit Friday. Wicker will report immediately. |
