 New York, oct. IA. CUP)-Sparks from the hot stove league:
 The St. Louis Cardinals out trad ed the Chicago Cubs when they got Lon Warneke for "Rip" Collins and Leroy Parmelee in the opinion of the baseball Scribes. They point out that owner Phil Wrigley paid about $S5,OOO to get Curt Davis to bolster the Cub hurling staff last summer and then swapped away the backbone of his corp But count upon baseball for inconsis- tency and card Vice-President Branch Hickey to get the best of any deal. ...
 National league proxy Ford Prick was biased with the trade. He believes that between-season swap ping keeps baseball interest alive through the winter. If he is correct interest probably will not get a chance to lag this year be- cause there are enough deals on the fire in his circuit alone to make a headline a week right up to the spring training season.
 Successor to Casey Stengel as manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers is the most debated question with ex-spitballer Burleigh Grimes the favorite. Grimes managed the Louisville ColonelS in the American Association and if he takes over the Dodgers 1t will be the first time in IS years 8 former major league hurler has held down 8 managerial job in the senior circuit. ...
 Giant Manager Bill Terry wants a first baseman, third baseman, sec- ond string catcher and another out fielder before his champions embark for spring training. Sam Leslie who was supposed to take Terry's place at the initial sack this year, but suffered an injury preventing anything but occasional appear ances is to undergo an abdominal operation at St. Louis. |. <. Terry is not sure about Johnny Mccarthy who came to the Giants from New ark at the end of the year and would like to have gotten Collins from St. Louis but the Cubs dealt first and talked afterwards. .. Joe Stripp of the Dodgers and Arky Vaughan of the Pirates are being talked up for Stony Jackson's third place job. -.
 The New York Yankees appar- ently are well set for the 1887 cam paign but Manager Joe Mccarthy would listen if some club would of- fer a good infielder and a topflight pitcher. Second d-baseman Tony Lazzeri who was dubbed through" at the beginning of last season may not stand the keystone pace another year.
 The Cardinals are topheavy with catchers with Spud Davis, Brusie Ogrodowski, Bill Delancey and Arnold Owens and should be able to make some good deals with the Detroit Tigers, Chicago White Sox or Washington Senators The Cards are reported to have ale ready turned down $100,000 for the 20-year -old Owens, sensation of the American Association with Colum- bus last year. ~.
