explanation of the deal which stood
the base ball world on its head on
Tuesday night and SO far, has left ii
there.
In his second communiaue. Mfr
Stoneham recalled that statements
had been made that Hornshy would
be the next manager Of the club, and

His shift to the Giants from st.
Louis a year ago constituted one OF
the most sensational trades ever con.
summated, hut his transfer to the
Braves is just about the most aston
ishing maneuver that ever puzzled fol-
lowers of the national pastime.
When. after landing the batting
championship Of the National League
for six consecutive years he topped
this off by directing the Cardinals to
their first National League pennant
and a world title over the Yankees. he
was shunted to the Metropolis a year
ago. a great huilabaIOo was created.
Hornsby was at loggerheads with
Owner BrcadOn. largely the result OF
his demand for $50, 900 salary as his
reward for having won a world cha m
pionship in his first full season as a
manager. and the CONSERVATION caused
in st. Louis by his trading led to in.
dignant protests from fans and civic
orga nizations of the city.
Some Equality in That Deal.
But there was some justification for
that deal. In return for Hornsby the
Cardinals received. in addition to
Jimmy Ring, a pretty fair sort Of
pitcher. Frank Frisch. a stellar sec
ond baseman. considered by many the
equal in ability of Hornsby.
In the present case there is no such
semblance of equality. Catcher Ho.
gan and Outfielder Welsh are but Or
binary ball players with batting aver
ages under the $50 mark, and the
Giants are left with no one Of estab-
iished ability to perform the Keystone
duties of Hornsby, who last season
la nded second to Paul Waner in stick.
ing with a percentage OF 1851 and took
part in every one OF the lSS games
played by his team.
What makes the trade even more
difficult to understand is that il was
only last Midsummer when John Nc
Graw, battling siege of illness. put
Hornsby in charge of the Giants and
let it be known that Rogers would sue
coed him as manager after another
year.
None of the possible reasons for the
trade that are being discussed by the
fans in coniecturing on the explana-
ton for il seems adequate. Hornsby's
ownership OF stock in the Cardinals
was Strengthened by his sale Of the
stock at a price which enabled him to
more than double the s55, 900 he in
vested. and this was done with the
full knowledge Of the New York club.
