the Dodgers aent Catcher A1 Lopez Infielder Tony Cuccinello and Pitchers Ray Benge and Bobby Reis to Boston for Pitcher Ed Brandt and Outfielder-Infielder Randy Moore As in the first deal both clubs are likely to profit from their latest transaction Brooklyn now has its best pitching staff in years assuming that Brandt and Frankhouse pitch anywhere near their 1934 form The fact that the Cubs Cards and Giants nibbled at both Brandt and Frankhouse indicates that they have plenty of useful service left in them To go with Brandt and Frank house the Dodgera have Van Mungo one of the league'a clasaleat hurlers Bill Clark Tom Zachary and George Earnshaw The left-handed lineup of Brandt Clark and Zachary gives Brooklyn perhaps the best southpaw brigade The Dodgers also have a pair likely
