Yeah, I see now that the baseball pitcher, was from Elkhart. It would be the same one.

These from 1941:

Gordon Pixley, Elkhart baseball pitcher who set. a record of 27 mound victories last summer as a member of the Lake Charles (La.) team of the Evangeline League, today received a contract from the Phillies asking him to report next week at Miami Beach, Fla. Dale Atwater, local infielder, has been instructed to report to the Columbus American Association club's ramp next month at Hollywood, Fla.

The acquisition of another right handed pitcher was announced. His name is Gordon Pixley, an Elkhart, Indiana, youth, who comes to the Phillies from the Lake Charles Club of the Evangeline League. The deal was made by Doc Prothro from his Memphis home, and has been approved by President Gerry Nugent. Pixley costs the Phillies an unannounced cash emolument and a player whose name will be disclosed later. WON 26 GAMES Pixley, who is 22 years old. six feet, two inches in height and beams at 195, was the property of the Meridian Club of the Southeast League, which had him farmed out to Lake Philadelphia's own expert, Otto Reiselt. Later he also dropped the evening match to Reiselt at Allinger's.

So we found Gordon Pixley. Now if it's his signature...
