Indians sell Fred Haney to Cardinals in major league move
The champion Indians disposed of their third baseman Fred Haney to the St. Louis Cardinals on a straight sale Monday night. Haney batted .334 and led the league in steals last season, praised as the king of hot corner guardians in the Hickey loop. His 43 thefts helped Indianapolis win the pennant while owner Perry sought a major league bargain. Haney, living in California, preferred the coast league if not kept for trials in the big leagues. He had been acquired from the Chicago Cubs in 1927 in the Elmer Voter trade with Joe McCarthy's club, after earlier service with the Red Sox and Tigers.
