Reds Count on Three Rockies
Obtained in Blackwell Trade
tAnother Of q Series.)
By Joe ReichIer
Associated Press Stoff Writer

NSSociotoo FSeSS StotT WtUOb
NEW YORK, Jan. 10 Re-
member when Cincinnati traded
the great EweI Blackwell to New
York for cash, a second-rate
pitcher and three bush leaguers
last August? The Reds were ac-
cused Of having sold the Yankees
the American League pennant.
That much maligned transac-
ton will prove to be one of the
most profitable. from a player
standpoint. the Cincinnati club
has ever made, according to
Manager Rogers Hornsby. To
Hornsby's way of thinking. the
departure of Blackwell brought
three rockies who will, play an
important part in the Reds new
scheme Of things.
Don't misunderstood me-"
HornSby said, II think Blackwell
will win from 10 to Is games for
the Yankees next season. At least
I hope so. But Blackie had out
lived his usefulness in Cincin-
natl. He needed a change of
scenery. What makes me so en-
thuSiastic about the trade is the
three minor league players we
got for him.:
IAN three-Outfielders Jim
Greengrass, Bob Marquis and
Pitcher Ernie Nevel-were hand
picked by me. I had Marquis and
Newell with me when managed
Beaumont in 1850 and I per-
Sonally secuted Greengrass last
June when he played at Beau
mont. I knew what they could
do"
GreengraSs Quick Success.
GreengrasS became an imme-
diate success when brought up
to the Reds last September. The
strapping 25-year-old Texan hit
.309 in his short stay, but what
impressed Cincinnati officials
was the way he powered the
ball. In Is games. big Jim drove
in "a, runs and banged five
homers, sensational slugging
feat. In one three-game series,
he knocked in nine of his teams
IL runs, getting a grand slam
mer off Brooklyn's Johnny Ru-
therford.
Greengrass, slated to be the
regular leftfielder. batted only
.276 for Beaumont last year. but
hammered % home runs and
drove in 101 runs. He is ex-
tremely fast for a big fellow.
