TRADES ARE PROBE'S BASE I Chicago, June 9 ((J.R>— Although Judge Kenesaw M. Landis^ basebull ' commissioner, refused to discuss the matter, Indications today were ’that the shuffling of iftiyers back and forth between the St. Louis I Cardinals and Cincinnati Beds has resulted in an official investigation. Apparently there lias been no J violation of any baseball bw but tile numerous deals, involving a dozen players, between the two clubs have been accomplished in ' | such a manner as to make the CinIcinnati team look like just another i member of the Cardinals' chain ,store. Before Judge Landis departed (yesterday for North Caro'ina to I settle a minor league dispute, he 'was questioned about the Cardsi Reds trades. "Why, everybody knows about 1 those trades,” the genial judge reI plied. "The fans of St. Louis don’t ikt.ow about them. Judge. They are I writing letters to newspapers ask I ing such questions as 'How much did the Reds pay for Frey and Hendrick?' " Was any cash involved in the Hafey ■deal?’ •' Are the Cards paying off the 'notes for the Columbus duh with players?' ” I The not-so-genial Judge sharply (replied "I decline to discuss those i matters." In answer to a direct question as |to whether he had the matter un-i-ler investigation. Judge Landis i .gain was silent. Evidence that baseball men do not want to express an opinion or I become involved in the St. Louis(Cincinnati matter was further es(tabl.shed when William L. Veeck. 'president of the Chicago Cubs, was asked his opinion about the numleious trades. He replied: •••; see nothing wrong with the trades. That's all I have to say.” Samuel Breadon. president of the I St. Louis Cardinalqg laughs off the . idea that there has been anything | wrong and says "we would welcome .an investigation." St. Louis tans are inclined to beI lieve that Breadon has purchased I a minor league franchise —the Co- : lu.nbiis American Association club I --wit!, his surplus ta'ent. and Chick I Hafey. a stubborn holdout whose salary grew too big for the Cards. The Reds have obtained four : players outright: Hafety, Roettger, ' High, and Douthit—-and had two

'other players—Frey ami Hendrick ■ returned to them by the Cardin ’J 'nls. Five Cincinnati players have ■ ■ been shipped to two Cardinal farms. ■ » Ashevlln, Wysong and Eckert to ■ . Rochester and lllucge and Cuiiop I (to Columbus, which club was sold I Iby Sidney Weil, Cincinnati presi- B 1 dent, to the Cardlna,’s at the close, B 1 of the 1930 season. ■ Several years ago the New York'B ‘ Yankees made so many favorable .l K deals with the Boston Red Sox. It B 8 seemed that the two dubs were B 8 under the same management, but ■ L no official action was ever taken B " about it. Even now Col. Jacob Rup- B 1 pert Is reported to hold an option B 1 on Fenway Park, the Red Sox ' J * home. I The only time Judge Landis has E been able to exert his authority ;B ' regarding the shutf.ing of a player B 1 back and forth was In the case of E , outfielder Fred Bennett, who was B sent out on option once too often B ’ by the St. Louis Browns. Bennett [■ was declared a free agent by Lan-jB dis who decision was upheld in B ! federal court when Phil Bal'. own-® er of the Browns, protested his rul- B ing.
