February 13th, 1934 - Transaction

Rice Signs with Indians for '34 Season
Braves also make moves

The Cleveland Indians announced today that they had offered Sam Rice a contract for the 1934 season, and that the veteran of 19 seasons with the Washington Nationals had accepted. Rice had played nearly every game in the Nationals outfield until 1932, when he playing time began to dwindle. The Nationals recently dropped Rice.

In other moves, the Boston Braves announced that they had picked up free agent Dick Barrett and had selected Pirates pitcher Steve Swetonic off waivers.
