NEIL NEW YORK, May 10.—<AV-De tails of the deal between the Na tional and American Leagues whereby the 'Boston Braves acquir ed Babe Ruth are beginning to leak out, and here and there lurks con siderable hard feelings, particularly in Brooklyn. It seems that when the matter of placing Ruth for 1935 became a question of national, almost Inter national importance, the club owners got together and talked the situation over. The Yankees didn't want Ruth any longer, but they had to have a ROOK DEFEATS CARDS 2 TO 1 Bucky Walters Turns In Excellent Work For • Phillies (By The Associated Press) One of the newly risen stars of the National League pitching corps has taken his first fall, but another moved right up to take his place. When Darrell (Cy) Blanton, Pitts burgh* sensational young right* hander, met his first defeat of the season at the hands of the Giants and Carl Hubbell by a 3-1 count Thursday he became for the time being just another good pitcher. His place m the sun was given over to William (Bucky) Walters, the Phillies’ home-town boy who was converted from a third baseman into a pitcher and celebrated by hurling a four-hit, 2 to 1 triumph over the world champion Cardinals. Walters made his second start Thursday, allowed the Cards only three singles and a double and handed out five walks. The only Cardinal run was unearned, com ing on George Watkins’ fumble om Virgil Davis' two-bagger. Blanton Misses Platter Blanton's wildness was the prin cipal cause of his own downfall as he rang up six strike-outs for a sea sons total of 36. But two of his five passes led to the first run and an error and two blows brought the other pair. Brooklyn remained in second place two games behind the Giants with a 5-4 ‘-gift” victory over the Reds. Two run were forced in by walks and two more scored on an error in the third inning which produced all five runs. With Tex Carleton pitching a neat five-hit game, the third-place Cubs slammed out a 5 to 1 victory over the Braves in a game marked by Rabbit Mar an - ville’s first league appearance since 1933 Cleveland's Indians sailed back in to the American League lead, trim ming the Yankees 5 u> 1 in a contest shortened to five innings by rain. The Red Sox finally broke the •’charm'’ the home park has held for Chicago by slamming down the Pale Hose 10 to 1 behind Wes Fer rell.

No one in the American League would sell or trade them the kind of hurler they wanted. Boston, and the National League, wanted Ruth, and there were pitchers in the league that clubs wouldn’t sell or trade to each other, but didn't mind send ing to the Yankees, in the Amer ican League, where * the pitcher wouldn’t be bobbing up to annoy them by winning ball games away from them. Details of the Deal So the Yankees agreed to pay $15,000 for a National League pitcher, and the National League club owners prepared a list from which the Yankees could choose. In return for this, the Yanks gave Ruth his unconditional release and along went the Babe to Bo6 W. The list turned over to Joe Mc Carthy. manager of the Yankees, contained the name of big Pat Malone, one of Joe's favorites when he -was piloting the Chicago Cubs to a pennant in 1929. "There’s my man.” he said. Col. Jake Ruppert cheerfully mailed Sam Bread on. of the Card inals. a check for $15,000. The Na tional League club-owners, still keeping their managers in the dark about the whole business waived as they had promised on Malone. And that's how the Yankees got the right-hander they needed, a pitcher with a value far above $15,000, and a pitcher who never could have been waived out of the National League under any other I circumstances. The moans in Brooklyn, when some of this leaked out, ruffled the waters of the famed Go wan us canal. All winter long Casey Sten gel had been looking for just such a right-hander as Malone to bols ter his staff and make a pennant contender out of a nominally fifth place club. Turn Casey's Damper Down Casey stormed into the front office of the Dodgers, yelling "Where's the blankety-blank so and so who waived on Malone?” The powers that be quietly told him that this was a matter that didn't concern him at all, and would he Just mind his own busi ness and not ask any questions? In Pittsburgh where, with tne phenomenal success of young ®y Blanton, the acquisition of Jim Weaver and Guy Bush from the Cubs, the addition of a right hander of Malones ability might mean a pennant, the wails prob ably were just as loud and with the same results. Big Pat is doing all right with the Yanks. He lost one start, but in relief roles he has done yeoman service. McCarthy always could handle the big temperamental fel low. It looks as though he’s going to continue to do so successfully. And if the Yanks do finally win the American League pennant, why it's the old Babe again who swung La Feria Lions Take Opener Of Softball Series (Special to The Herald) LA FERIA.
