fans in St. Louis received with
somewhat of a shock the news
today that their idol, Rogers Horns
by. had been traded to the Giants
in exchange for frankie Frisch,
second baseman. and Jimmy Ring
pitcher.
Describing the fact that the
Cardinals will receive two first
class ballplayers, the first thought
that struck the fans here, If one
takes gossip for an indication, was
that the idol, Rogers. who managed
the club that brought the first
worlds championship to st. Louis,
was gone.
Sam Breadon. president Of the
club, announced the deal following
the failure to come to terms with
Hornsby over a new managerial
contract. Breadon had offered a
one-year contract and Hornsby held
out for three years
Rogers had been a big favorite
with the fans since he came here
from Texas and his loss caused
much sentimental protest, although
the material that comes here should
strengthen the team, in the opinion
of many.

Here's a Good One!
Why Is a Catcher
Like a Cat?

The cat comes back. So does
the catcher.
If you don't believe it read
the story of four maskmen who
performed in the recent past
with either Yankees or Giants
and then drifted back to the
minors. All four are back In
the majors, waiting for another
season to start.
Al Devormer, who was for
merly a member of the Yanks
catching corps, comes back from
Louisville to be first string
backstop for the Giants Steve
O'Neill, who drew his ''un-
conditional from Higgins in
1925, returns to the majors via
Toronto, and, according to Dan
Howley, he will be the regular
catcher in 1927. Fred Hof-
mann, whom the Yankees sent
to st. Poul, will make his debut
in a Boston Red Sox uniform
next spring. So will Grover
Hartley, whom John McGraw
sent to the minors last sum-
mer.
. So the comeback is true of
the catcher as well as the cat.
