Terry has, he hasn't advised
me Of the details"
So 1t was the Prexy Horace
Stoneham denied today story
printed this morning to the effect
that the Giants have traded Mel
OFT, Hal Schumacher, and Gus
Mancuso to the Cardinals in ex-
change for Joe "Ducky Wucky"
Medwick.
Quite aside from the denial,
the trade report doesn't sound
right" 1t doesn't add properly.
And for several reasons.
l. OFT is third baseman
now, and considering his hitting.
the best in the league.
2. The salary angle. Admit
ting that Medwick is the greatest
player in the league, he didn't
receive as fat a pay check as any
of the three Giants named in the
deal.
8. The Cardinals pennant
prospects. They think they're
going to walk off with next
years flag, and thinking thus
why should they surrender the
once man who can guarantee to
keep them in the race?

maybe it was the foreign situa-
