seventh nationally, had its great

Another factor that keeps rival

Cardinals Acquire
z More Negro
Players; SO Total
By ROSCOE L. McCRARY

ST. LOUIS. - Especially = The
Anheuser-Busch owned st. Louis
Cardinals have acquired two more
Negro players thereby bringing
the total number in the Red Birc
organization to 80. This figure be-
comes significant in the organiza-
tion which until the new ownership
in 1858, was completely void of
Negro players. IS
The acquisition came in the first
trade of Bing Devine as general
manager and it brought two Gin
cinnati Redleg outfielders, Curtis
Flood and Joe Taylor. d
Flood, only 20 years old and
with just two years experience,
was obtained according to Devine
"for his potential"
1t is a different story with Tay-
Tor, however. The 6-1, 1876 pound
right hand swinger, was secured
to strengthen the bench.
1t was also revealed at Colorado
Springs, Colo, where the deal was
consummated between Redleg gem
eral manager Gabe Paul and Man
ager Birdie Tebbetts, that the Car
dlnals attempted to secure Taylor
last year from Seattle. At that
time, Frank Lane, then Redbird
GM, was willing to go as high as
100000 for the .305 hitter. The
Redlegs took advantage CT their
working agreement with the West
Coast league and brought up Tay-
lor themselves.
