St. Louis—(UP)—The St. Louis Cardinals were sold outright today for an estimated $3,500,000—the largest transaction in baseball history—to a group headed by Robert E. Hannegan.
The sale was announced at a press conference called by Sam Breadon, the little, white-haired man who built the club in 27 years from a sheostring team into one of the most flourishing in either major league.
The announcement came a few minutes after Hannegan announced his resignation as Postmaster General to take over active direction of the Cardinals. Hannegan previously had paved the way for his taking over the presidency of the cards by resigning from the St. Louis Browns Board of Directors.
