We show that the effects of transverse quark polarizations appear in the correlation between the two leading pions in a jet produced by the fragmentation of a quark. Such asymmetries provide a window to the nature of chiral symmetry breaking in QCD.18 pages, using TeXsis (or mtexsis.tex) and epsf.tex, 3 figures in uuencoded format (replaced figures file)High Energy Physics - PhenomenologyOn pi-pi Correlations in Polarized Quark Fragmentation Using the Linear Sigma Modeltext
