MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON. SUNDAY, APRIL 17. 1938 Cards Send Dizzy Dean To Chicago Cubs In Surprise Deal PAGE FOUR CURT DAVIS, ONCE VALLEY PITCHER, MIXED IN TRADE Gas House Gang Stunned, . While Great One Talks Exchange Strengthens Cubs Chances For Flag. ST. LOUIS. April 16 tfP Dlisy Dean and the St. Louis Cardinal!, who nursed him through alx atormy years, parted company today. The big eccentric right-hander wbj traded to the Chicago Cuba for three playera and an unannounced amount of eaah. The playera were Pltchera Curt Davis and Clyde Shoun and Outfielder George Stalnback. The deal exploded unexpectedly at the outaet of a new season In which the Dizzy one was "on the spot" along comeback trail. It left the Oas House Oang atunned and long-faced. But Dizzy walked out of the Car dinal dressing room for the last time Just as he entered It back In 1033 taming. "The boya had the pennant money sewed up, and some of It spent," he commented. But now that I am going to Chi cago I'll have to help them win the money and spend It. President Sam Breadon of the Car. dlnsls made tho announcement, ex plaining, "The deal haa been thor oughly discussed by Branch Rickey, Prankle Frlsch and myself and we nve agreed It was for the best In terest of the Cardinal club." The trade was rogarded by base ball observers as a move on the part of the olub to deal off their problam child rather than a straight effort to trade on an even up basla. Prior to the Jolting announce, ment five mlnutea after Joe Med' wick hit a home run to give the Redblrds a city series victory over the Browns there was no Intimation that plana were being considered to ahin Dizzy "up the river." During the recent spring training gamea. Dean was apparently hopeful of returning to winning rorm. uur tag his six yeara with the club he won 133 games and lost 76. his best season being 1934 when he was voted the most valuable player In the Na tlonal league alter the Cards hsd won ths world series from Detroit. His record of wins and losses since 1033 follow: 18-19. 30-18, 30-7, 38-13 24-18, 13-10. Terry Dubious OraVBLAND, April 18. ") BUI Tjarry, manager of the New York Olants, said tonight he believed the St. Louis Cardinals made a poor deal when they traded Dizzy Dean to the Chicago Cuba. "X can't understand It." Terry said. The Cards dealt themselves right out of the National league pennant race and made It strictly a two-cornered battle between the Qlants and the Cubs. "It certainly was a bad deal for Branch Rickey unless Dean Is In no condition to pttch. X have heard 310 reports that he Isn't. Although I never made an offer for Dizzy, I would have given the Cardinals fnr more than the Cubs." Cash Turned Tlown ST. LOUIS. April 18. ffV-The Olobe-Democrat said tonight the Cardinals had rejected a cash offer of aioo.000 by the Chicago Cubs for Outfielder Enos Slsughter. "Our offer was turned down." tho paper quoted Clarence Rowland of the Cubs as saying. "So I guess It's all off." Slaughter, who led the American association In hitting last yesr with a .383 average, has been In right field for the Cards since the stsrt of training season. He will be 33 years old the twenty-seventh of this month. He Is a left hand batter and right hand thrower. fun Boss Ttrklrd CHICAOO. April 18 (py Charles Drske, assistant to P. K. WrlKlev president of the Chicago Cubs, ssld tonight the deal for Dizzy Dean came as a climax to three weeks of nego nations with the St. Louis Cardinals Manager Charley Orlmm of the cubs comro-d.

I wouldn't say "' out i xnow nis presence will leave us better prepared for the pen nant fight."
