Ok I think I have one of them. Somehow I missed "Marvin Duke" in my dad's notes. Duke doesn't appear on http://pittsburgh.pirates.mlb.com/pi...ry/players.jsp or on http://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/PIT/1938.shtml. But there is a mention of him pitching against Chicago in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette from 4/15/38.

And there is a passage about him being sent down to Montreal in May of '38 in Ronald T. Waldo's book, Pennant Hopes Dashed... on page 99.

So, one down, two to go!
