Joe Stripp, Brooklyn, a New Jersey pro- duct, was one of the high priced players of the middle '20s, costing Cincinnati $50,000 and five players when he was sold by Columbus. A versatile player who can play any of the infield positions well, Stripp figured in a surprise trade in which the Reds sent Cuccinello, now with the Braves, and Sukeforth, to Brooklyn for Babe Herman, Lombardi and Gilbert in 1932. In a year when outstanding third basemen are scarce in the National League he ranks as a leader in his field, a .300 hitter, possessor of a great arm and a sharp fielder.
Bill came to the Yankees for the 1955 sea- son, in a big winter deal between the Yanks and the Orioles. He is a highly regarded young ball player, once a member of the Dodgers' organization. In 1954 he appeared in 125 games for the Orioles and hit .243. He had 100 hits, for 125 total bases, including 9 doubles, 5 triples and 2 homers. He batted in 27 runs and scored 28. 1953 was his first season in the majors, and the Brownies purchased his contract from Fort Worth for $90,000 and three players.
Early in 1952 Lloyd was recalled to active service by the Marine Corps. But there was a chance that he would get in some baseball before reporting for duty. In 114 games in 1951, hitting .242. Had 5 homers, 2 triples, 23 doubles. Drove in 36 runs. A Stanford U. graduate.
