before the draft had begun to deplete the ranks seriously Breadon decided to thin the pitching ranks by peddling three established stars Bill Lohrman went to the Giants Clyde Shoun to the Reds and Lon Warneke to the Cubs all after the season had started and at a time when the Cards had not yet begun to make a bid for the flag The trio had won 23 games for the Cards the previous season and Breadon immediately was "targeted" by St Louis fans as "surrendering the pennant" before the team had a fair chance to win it Breadon proved them wrong although each pitcher had a good season with the team to whom he sold them He merely had wanted to make room for the youngsters to give them a chance to take a regular turn on the mound and the strategy gave the Cards the flag after one of the most brilliant stretch drives in history Nowadays Breadon doesn't trade or sell players to deplete his ranks Uncle Sam takes care of that But Decision Over First Place St Louis Browns By Carl Lundquist
