Baseball-Reference has him playing with the Cubs-affiliated L.A. Angels in 1934 and his B-R Bullpen page mentions that he was reportedly traded to the Cubs following the 1940 season, but he retired instead.
I have several scans of him at what appears to be Wrigley Field wearing a 1939 Cubs uniform, but I can't seem to find anything to explain him with that team in that year.
Does anyone know how Mr. Loane came to be photographed with the '39 Cubs?

I have photos of many players from the 20s and 30s wearing anachronistic uniforms. It seems that teams in that era commonly recycled uniforms for spring training and players on tryout.
