Jimmy Smith Sold to Braves
New York February 26 Jimmy Smith will not play second base for the Giants this season. The little second baseman has been sold to the Boston Braves in a cash deal. The transfer follows talks between Harry Hempstead and John McGraw of the Giants and Percy Haughton of Boston. The sale ties into the Herzog deal and fits with McGraw’s plan to move pieces as the season opens. Doyle will be back at his old position when the season starts April 1. Miller Huggins will arrive tomorrow to prepare the training trip and the club seeks a heavy hitting outfielder before the season.
