The Formal Statement.

The statment read:
After due elaboration between
President Sioneham and Manager
McCiraw, and having in mind what we
think 10 be the best interests of the
New York Giants. a trade was con.
summated today which involves
Rogers Hornsby. second baseman of
the Giants. whereby the Giants re.
ceived Francis Hogan. catcher. and
James Welsh. outtieleder. of the Bos,
ton Braves. No cash involved in the
transaction"
The only plausible explana ton of
the deal appeared TO be a desire on
the part OF the Giants 10 bolster
weak member of the National League.
The Braves have been battered around
the cellar of the circuit for the past
few wears and the patronage dropped
al an alarming rate in Boston.
After receiving telegram from
Judge Emil r. Fuchs. owner of the
Braves. notifying him of the deal.
Hornsby said it didn't make any diff.
ference to him whether he was with
the Braves or any other club. How.
ever. Hornsby was puzzled over the
''best interests" section of the Giants
announcement and declared he didn't
believe McGraw was responsible for
that part Of the statement.
