Washington, as well as every
other section Of the baseball
world today was at a loss to
advance q sound reason for the
most sensational baseball man
euver of the games history,
that which sends Rogers
Hornsby, the highest paid player
in the National League, from
the Giants to the Boston Braves
for a couple of comparative
unknowns. Catcher Francis
Hogan and Outfielder James
WEIGH.
Clark Griffith's general staff,
composed of himself, Manager
Bucky Harris and Secretary
Eddie Eynon, were wondering
about the deal just as much as
was your ordinary sports writer
or your less ordinary John @.
Fan. That the half has never
been told about this amazing
and negotiable deal was con-
ceded by many who are sup
posed to know their baseball
onions, oats, asparagus and
spinach.
The mere blanket explanation
given by the Giants STIMULATING
that the best interest Of the
club had been served, was not
enough for those who look be-
meath the cuticle of baseball,
although these same Doubling
Thomases among fandom who
are still in a daze over the
astonishing news, had no ex-
PLANTATION to give that would
bear substantiation.
One thing is certain from
early observations, and that is
the Braves certainly got good
break. Judge Emil Fuchs has
at least gotten himself a gate
attraction, something. he lacked
since 1914 when George Stall
lings miracuously steered the
club out of the cellar into
league championship and a
worlds title after July 4th.
Indeed Hornsby was popularity
supposed to be so solidly i'm
bedded with the Giants that it
was common gossip he would
succeed McGraw as manager
when the Little Napoleon who
has had % years in the Ma
tional pastime, gets ready to
step down. On more than one
occasion last campaign and even
in the spring training tour,
Hornsby managed the Giants
in McGraw's absence. If any
one was believed to be a fix
ture on the Giants, that man
was Hornsby, who today is
lowly Brave.
TIE abilities of the material
involved in the deal are not to
be mentioned in the same breath
nor in the same paragraph.

shown possibilities of some day
developing into an excellent

The bare and meaningless an
nouncement given out by the New

Stunned baseball fans and

cOlored gentleman I'm the wood

lowing possible explanations
for the virtual dismissal Of the
Giants great batsman:

ager of the Giants, following the
expected retirement of McGraw.
2. That the New York club
wearied of Hornsbys legal diff
culties. after refusing to sell his
stock in the st. Louis Cardinals
until he got his price. HoInsoy
was the winner of suit for $94, 900
recently brought against him by
Frank Moore, Cincinnati betting
commissioner, for an alleged
gambling debt.
8. That Hornsbys habit of in
structing other members of the
Giants how to play their position
caused resentment and dissension on
the team.
4. That the trade was a phiIan-
thrOpic gesture to strengthen
the Braves, who are on the
rocks financially and have been
playing to crowds no larger
than a church congregation on
a good gOlfing Sunday.
The last explanation was deemed
the most plausible one of the lot.
The New York club frequently has
played Santa Claus to the Braves
in past trades. Instead Of being
made for the best interests OF the
Giants. the Hornsby trade may
have been made for the best inter-
ests of the league. Strengthened
by the great Rajah. the Braves
should perk up and draw huge
crowds.
Certainly Jack Slattery, bcston's
new manager, must be convinced
occasionally and if that has
cracked for good, Hornsby and
his physician are the only ones
who know it.
