He sought Mickey O'Neil of the Braves and "Butch" Henline cf the Phillies, offering Milton Stock as his bait. Naturally Dave Bancroft refused to part with O'Neil and Fletcher re- fused to consider any trade proposi- tion for Henline. What was next? All of Rickey's friends advised him to dicker for Gonzales, and the Superbas, who had bought the Cuban during the winter from the Cincinnati Reds for $10, 000, grabbed the bate. Thus, Gonzales returned to the manager who had cast him aside five vears ago. And Rickey now says that there isn't a catcher in either hig league who is more valuable than Gonzales. ¢ Rickey ought to know as he was a catcher when he was a young star in the American League almost 20 years ago. Rickey had his own ideas about catching and catchers He wanted a man of his own pattern and Gon- zales and Snyder were part of the Miller Huggins' regime. The Louisville Colonels had Ver- non Clemons. Rickey wanted him and he acquired the husky catcher by trading Dixie Davis and Brun Betzel to the Colonels. With Clemons installed as the first-string receiver Frank Snyder was traded to the Giants for Ferdi- nand Schupp, while Gonzales was sold for $10,000 cash. For five years Clemons handled the bulk of the catching for the Cardinals, Gonzales became a bench warmer for McGraw and later was sent to St. Paul in the, American Association. Gonzales a Star.
