The flow of cash into the pockets of asscciation magnates has made the 1939 season one of the best fin- ancial years on record. As far as! dollars go, actual figures are not available, but the trades and sales reached a high peak—and there may be others. Association clubs gained not only cash, but a number of play- ers included in the deals. Perhaps the principal sale was that of Big Bill Nicholson, a slug-| ging outfielder, by the Chattanooga Lookouts to the Chicago Cubs for| £35,000. Nicholson, who had been ob- | tained in an inexpensive deal with | the Washington Senators, went !a" the Cubs in mid-season and contin- | ued atting lustily. His 23 home runs in the association before he left August 1 topped the league for the season \ A record association price was claimed in the deal where the New! York Giants paid the Atlanta Crackers $30.000 and two play —~not yet named—worth at least $15,000 for Rookie Johnny Rucker,| 1 346 hitting outfielder. | Big Deals The Brooklyn Dodgers planked down $40,000 for Outfielders Charles Gilbert and Calvin Chapman of Nashville. Gilbert, 20-year-old son of Larry Gilbert, Nashville manager, who played with the 1814 world champion Boston Braves, batted .317 Chapman, with Cincinnati in 1935, hit .346. Deals in which all eight clubs of the league sold one or more players included many transactions that brought prices in the neighborhood of $20,000. Brooklyn, for instance, had an cption on Carl Doyle, Memphis pitcher, and shelled out $20,000 for his contract. Doyle won 13 and lost 14. It was reported the Phila- | delphia Athletics paid $20,000. to Memphis for Herman Besse, a tall lefthander, who won 17 and lost 11. The Athletics also put across a deal with Memphis to obtain the association’s leading pitcher, Ed Heusser, a big righthander whose record was 19 victories and 7 defeats. The Phillies bought First Baseman Jack Bolling from Atlanta in mid- season. The A's purciiased Jennings Poindexter, left handed hurler who won 10 and lost 7, and Second Base- man Al Rubeling, who hit .328, for spring delivery. % Chattanooga disposed of a half dozen star performers. In addition to Nicholson ,the champion Look- cuts peddled a couple of pitchers fo the Washington Senators—Dick Bass (19-10) and Al Williams (14-9). Both are righthanders. The Ath- letics recalled Outfielder Babe Bar- . a 317 hitter. | To the Philadelphia Phillies went a star Keystone combination of Stan Benjamin, shortstop, and Charlie Letchas, second baseman, from Chaitanooga. | Four From Knexviile The Knoxville Smokies sold two players and had two recalled. The Giants recalled Norman (Babe) Young, a first baseman whose play has been excellent since joining the club. He hit 355 in 74 games | in the association, and was the league's second best batter. Pittsburgh purchased Pitcher El- | mer Rambert from Knoxville. whnse record was 11-8, and recalled Pitcher Oadis Swigart, who won 17 and lost 10.
