The answer to the question. "Will the Senators do lM.etff at

attendance figures: The first 11 home games of the current cam

down date only 10 days away.
Brooklyn still must pare five or
six men from its 3 4 -man roster
and there are several choice trad
bait items dangling in Branch
Rickey's show window.
Howie (Stretch) Schultz. tho
elongated first baseman who has
been out of a job since Jackie
Robinson joined the club, can be
had. Rickey is understood to be
asking a price close to the $75,000
tag he paid St Paul for the big;
fellow in 1943.
The deal that sent Higbe, Hankc
Behrman, Cal McLish, Dixie
Howell and Gene Mauch to" the
Pirates for Al Gionf riddo ami
cash of , around $200,000 had been
in the works' since September.
It actually started when Rickey,
sold Steve Nagy, a 17-game win
ner at Montreal, to Frank Mc
Kinney Instead of bringing hlin
up to the Dodgers.
Boston has had an eye on
Schultz since a winter meeting
conference between Rickey end,
Lou Perini, the Braves president,
and the deal still may be made as
Boston's first sacker. Earl Tor
geson of Snohomish, WaslL, is
hitting only .280. And making;
too many errors. -
Rex Barney and possibly Vic
Lombardi might bo available to '
the pitcber-poor New York Giants
who so far have shown interest
only in Hal Gregg, Joe Hattert
or Ralph Branca. , i.
Trade winds are blowing In the
American league, too, but- most
of the clubs are down within easy
reach of the limit of 25 players
plus ex-servicemen who have not
been out of uniform a full year.
