Many are now thinking (and shuddering) of a couple of years ago when Jack was on the verge of turning pro. Remember? . . . The Ducks would have never made it without Morris this year.

Nov. 20 lu Kansas City and Detroit swapped 13 players today and ran headlong into a free-swing attack on base ball's trading system from the deal's key figure, infielder Billy Martin. The trade was baseball's sec ond largest between two clubs. It sent Martin nnd five other first string Athletics to the Tigers In exchange for three regulars, a rookie pitcher, a young outfielder and two form hands yet to be named. Martin, who after eight years with the champion New York Yan kees has now been swapped twice in a single year, told newsmen be would demand a cash settlement from Kansas City. He indicated he might be holdout if his demands are rejected. "They Just eaa't throw ns (players) around from one club to another without us haviag a say-sa," the irate Martla told newsmen, "I don't have aay ar gument with Detroit. My argu ment Is with the Kansns City Ahletles. If I am a tool af this great machine af baseball, I want to get something oat af H." George Selkirk, A's director of player personnel, said the little second baseman didn't have a chance to collect from Kansas City; that the Tigers had accepted Martin's contract and hli ' argu ment is with- the Detroit ball club." Tiger general maanger Joha McHale said la Detroit "there wont be aay contract trouble no trouble af aay kind. He's go ing to fit right Into oar organi sation. Everything will be nil right." Sent to Detroit with Martin were pitchers Tom Morgan and Maurice (Mickey) McDermott; catcher Tim Thompson; and outfielders Gus Zernial and Lou Skizas. Ia return Kansns City got out-, fielders Bill Tuttle and Jim Small; pitchers Dnaae (Duke) Maaa and Joha Tsitonris: catch er Frank House; and the two farm bands, yet to be selected. Martin, McDermott, Morgan and Skizas were obtained by the Ath letics in trades with the Yankees. Thompson was purchased from Brooklyn and Zernial has been with the A's since 1951 when the club, then at Philadelphia, ob tained him from the Chicago White Sox. Maas, Tuttle and House were front line performers for Detroit last season. Small, signed for a reputed bonus of S35.0OS la 1S5, Is Just t years aid. Last sum mer after completion of his bonus period, be was sent dowa to Charleston of the Americas Association for addltionnl sea soning. Tsltouris played for Charlestoa most of last season. Martin, reportedly soueht by six clubs, said he understood Detroit wanted him to play shortstop, re placing Harvey Kuenn who is due to be shifted to the outfield. Margaa has a record as a fine spring pitcher and Tiger pitch tog coach Willis Hudlia said la Detroit today he thought McDer mott, a one-time lS-gsme win ner with Boston, "can be a win ner again." Detroit manager Jack Tighe said Zernial and Skizas would add vital strength to the Tigers. Tuttle is regarded as the key player from Kansas City's stand point as he will add defensive strength to a somewhat porous outfield. Maas, with a 10-14 rec-: ord and a 3.29 earned run aver- i age, rates on paper as a fair ex-' change for Morgan's 9-7 and 4.S3 ; ERA and McDermotf's 14 mark ! and 5.48 ERA. .
