"Cardinals sign Cotton Love"
The St. Louis Cardinals followed up their remarkable announcement of the signing of Jackie Robinson, with the signing of local prep star Willie "Cotton" Love.

Love, while playing for Omaha Central, is a three time all-stater at shortstop, and is expected to be assigned to the Montreal farm club.

Cotton hit a cool .417 this year, while playing very well in the field. He has good speed, and stole 31 bases this last year.
