In St Louis the question is being asked.
What will the Cardinals get in return II
they lose Taylor?" Hart is charged with
turning the pitcher over to the Cardinals
when he at least had been under suspicion.
After getting rid of him he is credited with
making the charge that the pitcher was
crooked when Hart traded him. The St.
