NEW YORK, Dec. 31.-The next time the Cardinals player-strate- gists meet in the center of the diamond therell be no Rabbit" Maranville present to expertly jug gle the ball while adding words of wisdom to the conferees.
 For "The Rabbit" has been sold down East to the Boston Braves. It wasn't the 36-year-old Maran- vile fell down on the job at St Louis, but rather that he had to move out to make room for a youngster, Charley Colbert, heavy hitting young shortstop brought up from the Cardinals farm at R c h e s CT in the International League.
 Maranville was a Cardinal regu- lar for just a little more than one season, but his absence will be strongly noticeable. '"The Rabbit quit his clowning three years ago when he started to. climb back to the majors. but he still knows his wisecriacks. These he used to good advantage.
 The shifting of "The Rabbit" at this time is going to deprive base- ball men of treat they had antic- ipated when Maranville and Gel bert squared off in the training camp to fight it out for the regu- lar shortstop position. With all due credit to Geibert, who hit .370 during the greater part of the 1928 season. the beys who know "The RaoblF" were ready to pre- dict that he would be so good that his young rival would have to ride the bench.
 But Billy Souahwersh became mar agc9 of the -dinals and he spoke so w,lgy q the ability cf h.s protege from Rochester that the club ha. ,enel to pass 'sThe Rsb5a" alo1g b the B:aves.
