Phillies Purchase Allen Contract From Redbirds

Phillies officials announed today that they had purchased the contract of outfielder Ethan Allen from the St. Louis Cardinals. Allen had been a fixture in the Cincinnati Reds outfield in 1928 and 1929, but since being traded to the Giants in 1930 has played more of a utility role. Last season he played in St. Louis, where he hit .241/.280/.291. He is expected to play more of an every day role on the hurting Philadelphia (NL) team.
