know that thousands of you will stand up and cry ‘perish the 'bought ''■ It la conceivable that the beantng Med wick took from Bob Bowman of the Cards shortly after he joined the Dodgers did him more damage than was at Brat realised, and that he may yet regain the form that for years made him the most feared hitter In the < National league No one hopes i this more than I. hut no one be-' llevrs It leas than I. Now there s another angle to be considered. Durocher and M< Fbail might not have wanted Medwhk at all. and simply were helpless vic- j Ums of the ahrewdest trader of them all. Branch Hickey. All you have to know about Rickey as a salesman is to remember that he sold Phil illentynei Wrigley a rttht-banded baseball cadaver, Dluy Dean, for 1185 000 That is nearly lioo 000 more than the British museum paid for King Tut. whose right arm had been dead centurlea longer than Diisy's. If the Rickey angle Is true, think , of what Durocher and McPhail' might have purchased for the I f2s'>oon that, up until now. has been thrown away on Medwick. . They could have gotten a telephone directory of the National I league and had almost anything In ’lt from A to Z. For <me thing, | they could have had the Hoeton ' Bees' franchise, and with a fellow named Howell who la leading the league In hitting. They could also have had Casey Ntengel. who la I much more amusing on the buni'h ! ! than Medwick to. or ever will be., If thia to published on a day In which Medwlrk gets four for four including a hono r with the bases ' loaded, please leave it out of your , scrapbook. — HOME RUNE Mlie Cardinals J 4 I Foss.
