He was 76. Engel had been hospitalized for the past two weeks and suffered a stroke two days ago. Engel, a former vaudevillian, major league pitcher and political campaign manager, came here in 1929.

He helped put together some of the old Southern Association's best teams, including its last pennant winner.

Among those he helped along were Bucky Harris; Hall of fame shortstop Joe Cronin; Goose Goslin; Early Wynn; Charlie Dressen; Cecil Travis and Joe Kuhel.
