Kinder Bought by the Cardinals in Major League New Deal
General Manager Frank Lane of the St. Louis Cardinals acquired veteran reliever Ellis Kinder from the Boston Red Sox for a price just over 10 000 dollars. Lane said talks with other clubs had yielded little, and he hopes to reach agreements with Roy Hamey and Mayo Smith of Philadelphia. Kinder, 41, spent a decade in the American League, mostly with Boston, and appeared in 43 games last season with a 5 5 record. Lane noted Kinder would turn 42 next July and expressed confidence in the signing despite the impending age.
