shouldn't be placed on the 5-yard

CARDS ALSO NEED
I PITCHING TALENT
Hickey, Weary Of HurIer's
Jawing, Is Willing to
Swap Him Off.
BY FRANCIS J. POWERS.

ut. LOUIS, Mo, December a.
This talk Of the Cardinals
peddling Dizzy Dean is more
- than off-season gossip" said
q st. Louis citizen who knows con-
siderable about the doings Of Sam
Breadon's far-flung base ball organi-
zation.
Branch Hickey never has been hes
liant about selling or trading any
player when he could get q large
batch of coin or the equivalent IN
players. Dean is one of the greatest
pitchers in the history of base ball
and the Cardinals realize his worth.
However, the mans constant jawing
with Branch Hickey Is becoming bore
some to the Cardinal front office and
'Ol Diz' can be had II some club makes
the right proposition.
The Cardinals need pitchers and
they need a high-class third base
man. They have bolstered the pitch
ing staff by getting Lon Warneke
from the Cubs in a deal that helped
both teams. but Warneke won't round
out a pennant-winning staff, and he
won't help at third base.
Could Use Mungo and Strip.
HERE is considerable talk that
Dean may 60 to the Giants for
Hal Schumacher, other players and
some cash, but that deal does not
sound good to me. Schumacher is not
the equal Of Dean by any calculation
st. Louis would like to have Van
Mungo. the Dodger star, and probably
Frankie Frish would like to have Joe
Strip for third base If that deal
could be made the Cards would be
strengthened anG Brooklyn would get
a pitcher who would pack Ebbets Field
for the Dodgers.
"Burleigh Grimes. the new Dodger
manager, is an old Cardinal hand and
aces high with Branch Hickey. OF
course, Grimes Is no infant in base
ball and would not give up Mungo and
Strip unless he could get something
good in return, but II Dean is traded,
I've a hunch he may 60 TO Brooklyn.
NhtSCil luSC ANA6y hl DILL
THE Cardinals may have just the
third baseman needed to round out
a championship infield in Don Gut
teridge. The swarthy youngster came
up last Fall after a couple of seasons
with the Columbus farm and played
great ball. He is one of the fastest
men to break into the National League
in long time, clever fielder and a
batter who should do .275 or there
abouts and maybe better, for he still
Is young enough to improve. But
Gutteridge still is a future and Frisch
would not turn down the chance to get
a proven player.
st. Louis likely will be one of the
busiest teams in the trading market.
There's rumor that Pepper" Martin
may go on the block, and the Wild
Horse" would be a buy for any club
from the spectator standpoint. The
Cards also have some promising farm
products which can be marketed with
out affecting the strength of the home
club, and Hickey is in fine position
to bolster the Cardinals for the 1897
race.
The Cardinals have averaged a
championship every two seasons from
1926 through the 1896 season, and,
to maintain that percentage, must win
next season. Consequently, Mr..
Branch Hickey will wear his David
Harum suit to New York and for once
rival club owners and managers won't
take to the subway. Not if Dizzy Dean
Is to be put on the market.
