Shortstop Will Go to Cardi-
E.nals, Who Will Give Catcher
i. Gonzales to Giants.
BY DENMAN THOMPSON.

: Johnny Lavan. the Nationals short
:etop. will go to the New York Ma
xionals In exchange for Davey
Robertson and Lavan will be sent by
Hhe Giants to the St Louis Cardinals
IN return for Miguel Gonzales. the
catcher, if a big three-cornered deal
how in prospect is completed.
This was admitted today by Man
ASer Griffith. who said the triangular
swap had been on the fire for some
time. 1t was for the purpose Of sound
eng out the local management on its
willingness to relinquish Lavan that
Branch Eickey, president or
the Cardinals. visited Washington
this week and it was this transaction
nc was in conference with McGraw
and Barney Dreyfuss of the fltts-
6urch club.
How Dreyfuss Figures.
Drcyfuss' connection with the pro-
posed transaction is that he alone of the
eight clubs in the National League has
refused to waive on Robertson. He
! needs an outfielder He has been pretty
well convinced that he has no chance OF
getting Robertson. who has announced
e, ne will quit base ball unless he can play
there. But the Pittsburgh moEui thinks
he can get some other playing material
and he is incorrect in this view, for the
three clubs interested now are framing
an offer that is expected to induce the
boss of the Pirates to let the former
Giants star get CIT of the National
League.
ACQUISITION of Bert Shotton. whose
euit against the Nationals for back
salary meant the end of his career
here, may prove sop to the Smoky
city magnate. Griffith has asked for
waivers on him and will turn him
over to any club refusing 1t was an
! Hounced definitely today that Shotton
will not be with Washington this sea-
son. Then McGraw is willing to pass
/ = couple of his surplus recruits on to
j! Pittsburgh

Manager McGraw Hopeful.

McGraw was in communication with
k&sriffith over the long-distance phone
to-day and intimated the outlook for
Inducing Dreyfuss to waive on Rob-
., ertson is bright. McGraw said he ex-
pected to be able to let Griffith know
by Tuesday if the trick can be turned.
-LavanS connection with the prospec-
tive swap is a new angle. His case is
similar to that OF Robertson, except
that in Robertson's case he is unwill-
ing to play anywhere save in the
capital, while Lavan has announced
that he has retired from base ball and
will stick to the Navy. Hickey. how
ever, seems to have some inside in
formation on Lavans intentions, FOR
he has assured Griffith he will take
the chance OF persuading Lavan to
play for the Cardinals in case the
deal is consummated.
Hickey returned to st. Louis last
Thursday night, but while he was in
the east he was asked if he sought
14avan. who is one of his most init
mate friends in base ball. and he ad-
united he cherished the hope.
Has Fondness for Lavan.
