Baseball Clubs Haggle At Annual Convention
Phoenix, Ariz.—(U.P.)The age-old rumor factory, spinner of many fantastic yarns, worked over-time today as the annual major and minor league baseball convention finally officially got under way.
With the drafting deals all completed and official, the gossip-moners came up with these tidy tidbits:
General Manager George Weiss of the New York Yankees conferred with General Manager Charley Gehringer of the Detroit Tigers and the speculation was that Weiss wanted Art (Hard-Luck) Houtteman, the pitcher with an 8-20 record last year.
There was speculation over a deal brewing between the Chicago White Sox and the Cleveland Indians. Cleveland reportedly wants shortstop Al Carrasquell, but the Indians won't give up either outfielder Larry Doby or third baseman Al Rosen—so there is a stalemate to date.
The Brooklyn Dodgers are trying to wangle pitcher Warren Spahn away from the Boston Braves, but haven't come up with the right bait yet.
"Trouble is," said Dodge Vice President Buzz Bavasi, "that you have to give up something to get something."
The Washington Senators have been listening to overtures from the White Sox, too. The Windy City club wants Cuban pitcher Chico Fernleies; and it would take outfielder Gil Coan if the price was right.
Manager Bucky Harris of Washington, who has a way with ex-Yankee pitchers, would like to get pitcher Tommy Byrne, a recent White Sox acquisition.
There was a report circulated, too, that Ellis Ryan, president of the Cleveland Indians, was attempting to sell his interests in that club.
Manager Charley Dressen of the Dodgers told a reporter that Wayne Belardi, former Santa Clara college star, "might" be playing first base for the Dodgers next year—and that immediately led to renewed speculation that the Dodgers might put Gil Hodges on the trading block, a rumor that has been going the rounds for many months.
Hoag May Not See Action Until Early February
After his operation yesterday at the University of Kansas Medical Center, Charlie Hoag, Kansas half-back on the Associated Press Big Seven team, will be out of action until at least February.
Dr. James Weaver, the surgeon that operated on Hoag's right knee joint, revealed that the ligament was ruptured. The ligament was not repainable and was removed.
Hoag will have normal use of the knee, but the surgeon said that he could not make any attempt to
CHARLIE HOAG
test the knee for athletics until late January.
Hoag came through the operation in satisfactory condition and will remain in the hospital ten days to two weeks.
The knee was reinjured in the first play from scrimmage of the Missouri-Kansas football game last month. Despite missing the last three games this year, Hoag was named to the all-conference team.
The Oak Park, Ill., flash has had a brilliant 3-year career at the University. He lettered in three sports and was on the United States Olympic basketball championship team at Helsinki last summer.
The 21-year old business senior set an all-time rushing record for the football team. This year he received honorable mention on the NEA's all-American football squad even though hampered by injuries.
Tigers. Browns Pull First Player Tradee
Phoenix, Ariz.—(U.P.)The Detroit Tigers traded Virgil Trucks, their double no-hit right hander, and two other players to the St. Louis Browns in return for three other players today in the first major trade puller at the winter baseball meetings.
to St. Louis, while outfielder Bob Nieman, catcher J. W. Porter and second baseman Owen Friend of the Browns will join the Tigers.
Pitcher Hal White and outfielder Johnny Groh will accompany Trucks
A Brownie spokesman announced the three-for-three deal shortly after midnight. He said it was a straight cash trade and that the teams had come to an agreement after dickering "all week."
Big Seven Officials Review Bowl Ban
A review of the post-season competition rule and the presentation of policies concerning academic standing, scholarships, recruiting, subsidization and other matters pertaining to athletics are the top items of the Big Seven conference being held today through Saturday in Lincoln.
Presidents, faculty representatives, athletic directors, football coaches, and business managers of the representative schools will take part in the meeting.
The big question will be centered around the post-season competition rule now existing in the conference. The rule at it now stands forbids all post-season competition. A review of that stand is to be held, and a change is entirely possible. As it now stands, no member school could take part in the NCAA basketball plavoffs held in March.
Of equal importance is the presentation to the presidents of recommendations to align the loop's policies with the desires of the American Council on Education and the North Central association of Colleges and Secondary Schools.
The football coaches are expected to petition for larger traveling squads. The present rule restricts the number of players to 36. The conference's freshman rule also will come up for discussion. Any football player coming into the conference must lose a year's eligibility if he has played freshman ball, while in the conference, freshman can play two games without the loss of any eligibility.
