In Winter Trades
Chicago, Dec. 15 (U'i Many
deals involving very few top
night stars seemed to be the pat
torn for the oncoming winter to-
, day as major league club owners
adjourned a two-day session
which featured three big trades.
The latest was the sending of
first baseman Kddie WaitKus and
pitcher Hank Borowy to the Phil
adelphia Phillies from the Chi
cago Cubs. In return the Cubs got
pitchers Emil (Dutch) Leonard
and Walter (Hog Dog) Dubiel
Of this quartet, only Waitkus
has been a sougnt-altcr nan play
er. The left-handed hitter had
.29(3 mark and drove in 44 runs in
139 games last season. He par
ticularly impressed Hrancli Kick
ey of the Dodgers who tried at
length lo swing a deal for him.
Big Cash Deal
The biggest cash deal was made
by the Yankees, who gave up
5100,000 and three players to the
I null. tH.iimn f lt..Unt. L-.-..l
Sanford and catcher Koy Partee.
The Yankee players involved
were catcher Sherman Lollar, and
pitchers Dick Starr and Charley
Uteri) .tm Dree.
The first of the big off-season
deals came last week in Minneap
olis when the Cubs traded catcher
Clyde McCullough and pitcher
Cliff Chambers to Pittsburgh for
third basi .nan Frankie Gustine
and pitcher Cal McLish.
Turn Down Offer
In the final joint session of the
major leagues yesterday, the club
owners turned down a plea of Pa
cific Coast league President Clar
ence Rowland and Hollywood
team President Victor Collins to
increase the player draft price
from $10,000 to $25,000. The coast
league officials also were brushed
off on their appeal to change
from four to six years the period
in which they can retain a pUiyer
before he can be drafted by the
majors.
Commissioner A. B. Chandler
said he would not announce his
finds until sometime in January
on the hearing in which Leo Du-
rochcr and other Giant officials
were charged with signing Fred
I'itzsirnmons as coach before he
was released by the Braves. Chan
dler said lie wants time to digest
the transcript of proceedings.

New York, Dec. 15 (IB The na
tlons basketball coaches are
moaning today that there aren't
enough good players to go around
and that the game is so fast the
standouts act in the second half
like they had spent all day wash
ing and ironing.
Listening to them you get the
Idea that we are producing a race
ot midgets in wnom the ability
to shoot and dribble is as extinct
as the knee length skirt. To hear
them talk, all their athlotcs are
potential jockeys in need of a
good sirloin steak.
Two such at the moment are
Nat Holman of CCNY, one of the
original Celtics who long has been
accustomed to having a plentiful
supply of stalwarts, and Hank
Iba of the Oklahoma Aggies.
"xou Just have to have good
reserves or fatigue will beat you,"
groans Holman. "And when fa
tigue sets in you make mistakes
which are costly.
when you don t have the re
serve strength, then you have to
eliminate the wearing fast break,
slow down and keep your reserve
strength for the home stretch."
Iba, the successful tutor from
tiie southwest, long has been not
ed and sometimes condemned as
a man who believes in the slow
down basketball process known
as "control basketball." bo, natu
rally, Iba agreed with Holman.
"You must have eight or nine
good boys to play the fast game,"
he conceded. Actually you
snouia nave at least lz.-
Listening to this, you might get
the impression that the jitterbug
game currently in lasnion is go
ing to be braked down to slow
waltz. Which causes Rhode Is
land State's Frank Keany, a fire
house man from 'way back, to
scream:
If basketball is to succeed,
we've got to cut out this slow
stuff."
Iba smiled knowingly and ven-
ured:
"Keany Isn't kidding anybody:"
The implication was that if
Keany, now retired to the com
fortable seat of an athletic direc
tor, had the fast-break brand of
material he'd use It. And if he
didn't, he'd do just what the "go
slow" gang does.
But actually. Iba admitted,
there is no need to worry about
the physical stature or stamina of
tne kids currently coming to col
lege. The present moaning is strict
ly a seasonal occupational hazard
or, it you win, a detense.
"It may sound so, but actually
there Isn't a dearth of players,
Iba acknowledged. "It's just that
the -newcomers to the varsity
haven't had time to work into the
'groove."

Manager Harris
Chicago. Dec. 15 HP) Bucky
Harris, who was fired as man
ager of the Wew ifork Yankees
even though nis club dropped out
of the pennant race only one day
before the end of the season, to
day was named manager of, the
San Diego farm club of fne
Cleveland Indians.
Harris, a veteran major league
pilot who started his career as the
"boy manager" of the Washing
ton Senators in 1924, returned to
the minors after two successful
years with the Yanks. His team
won the world championship in
1947 and finished in third place.
only two games off the pace, In
1948.
Ironically the club which gave
him a job was the one which beat
the Yankees out in the stretch
drive and then won the world
series.
During his major league ca
reer, Harris managed four teams
the Senators, Detroit Tigers,
and Philadelphia Phillies before
he took a job in the Yankee front
office.
He reluctantly returned to the
field as manager of the Yanks
only when Larry MacPhail, then
general manager of the team,
persuaded him to do so.
Harris was fired as Yankee
manager because he was a "nice
guy" who treated the players too
easily to satisfy front office direc
tors. There were frequent reports
that his team had several stars
who were badly out of condition
and that this hurt the team.
