CARDS SEEK SOUTHPAW HURLER IN DEAL FOR BOTTOMLEY

Reds May Get Star Dodgers Turn Down Offer Involving Clark and Big Bankroll. T Special NEW YORK, May 13—Branch Jtirkry today was on record with %he admission that Jim Bottomley. mugging first sackcr, had bean |>laced on the market. But he insisted that the Cardinals veould not follow the precedent in the Ha fey •as* and would insist not so much on money as playing strength, dabby Street mis derided that he |n j?t have a lefthanded pitcher. However, information from a reliable source has it that Sam firaador. demands not only a t‘tchcr but a lot of money for Bot.nley. The Cards would take Watson fciark of Brooklyn and half a season's receipts for the first baseman, fn fact, so ridiculous is the propoit ion reported to have been made to Brooklyn that u gives the Impression that St. Louis does not \rant to do business with the t>od gory and that the Cards want to srare Brooklyn off the proposition As a result, it mav be said that tic h* nor the deal is cold. Cincinfciiti and Chicago still are in the running, and rumor has it that feottomlev will become a member the Red Stockings. How lev has used Heath and Shev{n alternately at first base and either has a punch. Bottomley •mild be a big improvement. But fc>tni*l hasn't a southpaw to spare. Neither has Rogers Hornsby, for •hat matter. The Giants are the pnly rlub topheavy with left-handed pitching and they do not need Bottomley with Terry working at his •c*t.

Ed Brandt Big Dutch Brandt hasn't been up to 1931 form in his early season starts, but he came back with a big bang Thursday and blasted one game off the Chicago Cubs’ lead over Boston with an 8 to 3 triumph. The Braves’ big southpaw turned bark the Bruins with five bingles and held them scoreless until the ninth, when they got three of their blows, one of them a homer by Johnny Moore. The Cubs and Braves play two more games.

BROADMOOR golfers played for the challenge medals last week and have no special event on tap for this week. The winners of the medals have discovered they are not unchallenged. Threats of defeat have been hurled at most of them. Next week-end will find many a medal holder defending his laurels. a a a Jack Thlbcdau won the low rroaa honor* in a nn-handirap allowance tournament at Avalon. The bowlers tournament will be hrld this week, open to all golfers who took part In fifteen nr more games of the winter howiinz league. That means fiftyfour will shoot if all show up. Mrs. H.

Joe Stripp. new Brooklyn third baseman, tripled in the eighth, and Tony Cuccinello. new' second baseman, singled to score one run. Babe Herman, former Brooklvn slugger, aided Cincinnati with a triple in the first, but Gilbert, new Reds third baseman, went hitless. The second-place Boston Braves
