- INCINNATI, Ohio, December IT.
The Cincinnati Reds today
4 obtained Sunny Jim Bottomley
from the st. Louis Cardinals to
team with Chic Hafey as the nucleus
of the 1893 Redland squad.
The Cardinals took Owen Carroll,
pitcher and Estil Crabtree, an outfielder,
for Bottomley in a straight player trade.
Bottomley will play first base for the
Reds, a position he has held since ne
started professional base ball II years
ago. With Hafey also in the lineup,
the Reds now have two hard hitters
who did much to carry the Cardinals
into four world series contests in re-
cent years.
President Sidney Wells announce
ment Of the trade followed months OF
dickering since Dan Howley ended his
reign as manager of the Reds. Bot
tomley was one of those who sought
HoWley's Job, which subsequently went
to DOME Bush.
Bottomley has been a mainstay of
the Cardinals since 1922, when he
started playing big league ball after two
years with Sioux City. His hitting has
been heavy and consistent, we'll above
300 for most of his career His bat
ting and his fielding brought him the
National League most valuable player
award two years ago.

A fleet of IS Coast Guard vessels including six

vessel thought to carry the Lindbergh baby's muir
derers.
They had description of the boat, which fig

plotted to kidnap Lindbergh himself.
The land search for the criminals continued, but
attention centered almost entirely on the hunt,

negotiated with purported kidnapers.

trip across the United States, the
navy's big dirigible Akron was safe
at the mooring mast here today.
The ship was successfully drawn
to the mooring and made fast on
the twelfth attempt.
Unable to land Thursday night,
the Akron spent the hours until
dawn circling the San Francisco
bay district. At dawn, it swung to-
ward the base, but poor visibility
made mooring inadviSable.
With clearing skies, the dirigible
approached the base again, but its
helium, heated by the sun, made
the Akron so buoyant it could not
drop sufficiently close to earth.
Com. G. E. Rosendahl ordered
his craft kept aloft until evening
when the gas would have cooled
and buoyancy decreased. The land
ing was finally accomplished al
