His name may be Koy. And lh!n yet. But it's certan that whoever winds up as the regular, satisfac- tory left fielder for the Reds' will have cost more than any: other player. Already the Reds have spent more than a quarter million trying to find this fielding-hitting star. That's the amount paid out for left fielders 'since Bill McKechnie: became manager of the Reds three séasons 8go. The latest player to be bought for a trial at that spot is Emie Koy, whom the Card- inals let go for $35,000. (Branch Rickey is smiling a bit at that deal, too, for he got Koy for when Ducky went to the Dod- gers.) Altogether the Reds have tried some 20 players in the left garden and so far haven't been satisfied with any of them.
