Yanks start trades with eye on third title
NEW YORK (UPI)—In a very short time, perhaps only a few days, the New York Yankees will start making a few trades designed to set them on a course toward their third straight world championship.
their second straight World Series championship behind them, the Yankees are already thinking toward next season. That, of course, is the mark of a championship club. Never sit still and rest on your knees.
Owner George Steinbrenner didn't build a multi-
million dollar shipping business by playing it safe and
hunting for the big moment.
AFTER THE Vankee won the World Series last year they were one of the busiest clubs in the offseason free agent and trade markets. Without obtaining reliever Rich Gossage and strengthening their bench with first baseman Jim Spencer and outfielders Gary Thomason and Jay Johnstone, the Yankees would not have won the American League East Division title.
To strengthen the team for next season the Yankees are almost certain to trade the likes of Sparky Lyle, Paul Blair, Cliff Johnson and, perhaps, even Roy White and Mickey Rivers.
A DEAL that would send Blair, minor league Niner, minor league leadoff Iloy Stager and Joey McCormick to Stager.
It seems certain that Lyle, the 1977 Cy Young Award winner who was seized time this season, also will be traded. He wants out and there are a number of teams interested in obtaining the left-sided jersey.
reliver Paul Mirabelia and offfielder Juan Beníquez has been nearly finalized.
Rivers is valuable to the Yankees, but he has crossed paths with Manager Bob Lemon on occasion for lack of hustle and the Yankees would consider trading him if the price were right.
NEW YORK might even consider trading caterer Thurman Munnison if it could obtain someone like him to take care of the client.
The Yankees have had their eyes on Parker for some time and the Pirates, fearful that they would not be able to meet his price and lose him to free agency but they are willing to deal him to the Yankees for Mumson and Lyle.
Reports began circulating during the playoffs that a Parker-Munson deal was in the works, but the Vankens held it. It however, Munsion maintained he should be given the option to church so he can be closer to his Canton, Ohio hometown.
IF THE Yankees make a play for Parker or another outfielder of his caliber, White is almost too many to count.
"We still have to sit down and talk," said White.
"There's been all this talk about Dave Winfield and Parker and, if they're serious about that, then I'll want to go elsewhere because I still feel I'm capable of playing 145 to 160 games a year."
"But, I'm a ten-and-five man and I have control where I go, I’d rather be here but the most likely place is back."
THE YANKEES, who have strengthened their club considerably by signing All-Star-free agents, are likely to plunge into that market again. Pitcher Tommy John, playing out his option with the Dodgers, figures to be one player the Yankees will pursue with vigor.

Men netters ready to play
Tomorrow is a day the University of Kansas men's tennis team has long been looking forward to. The team finally gets to play a match.
It has been about three weeks since KU has played. The only two teams the Jayhawks have played have been Kansas State and Cowley County Junior College, neither of which had a very competitive team.
So it will be almost like a new season when KU goes to Columbia tomorrow to play Missouri. On Saturday the "Hawks play perennial NAIA power Southwest Baptist,
According to KU head coach Kornivito, the Jayhawks are more than ready to play a man-to-man.
"We have been playing very well in practice and have had a lot of competitiveness," Kvista said. "The guys are very focused, we will weekend we will find out good we are."
KU DEFEATED MOSQUIER for the first time last year. And Kivito feels Kansas can make it two in a row if the team plays up to its capabilities.
But Kivista said Southwest Baptist could be another story.
"They are one of the best teams around." he said. "They have a lot of foreign players and a lot of depth. And their doubles are always very strong."
Hosking will team up with Chel Colter to play No. 1 doubles. Joe Russyer and Bill Krizman will play No. 3. But Kivisto is still undecided on his No. 2 team.
Looking forward most of all to tomorrow is KU's No. 1 singles player Mark Hosking. He didn't play in either of the first two matches of the year.
