By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, February 11.—Bur- leigh Grimes, veteran spitball pitcher of the New York Giants, was traded to Pittsburgh today for Vic Aldridge, curve ball star of the National League champions, in a deal that caught the base bail world again by surprise. Made on a straight playing basis. with no cash involved, the trade was completed in a long-distance telephone conversation between Barney Dreyfuss. president of the Pirates, and Jim Tiler- ney. Giants’ secretary. On the basis of 1927 records. which showed Grimes a much more consist- et performer, the Pirates got the bet- ter of the deal, but both twirlers rank | among the best in the league. | Grimes, who pithced his first big league game for Pittsburgh in 1926, turned in a sensational streak of 14 victories in a row last year. Aldridge failed to show his best form at the start of the 1927 race, but rose to great hieghts when Ray Kremer, ace | of the champions’ mound stafl. was injured. At this point the Hoosler schoolmaster jumped into the breach, pitched and won two games in one five-game series against the Giants, and continued to turn in victory after vie- | tory until Kremer returned to Lhe | line up.
