M- TRADING TEMPO OF MAJOR LOOPS Half Dozen Deals Closed- Others Negotiating Stage Bid For Camilli Made. By Judion Bailey Chicago, Dec. 10 (IP) The trading tempo of the major league meetings quickened to day with half a dozen deals closed and several others, in cluding the possible sale of Dolph Camilli to the Yankees, in the negotiating stage. Overnight the Phillies an nounced sale of Outfielder John Rizzo to Brooklyn and Infielder Emmett Mueller to Montreal, Dodgers' farm; and the New York Giants bought Third Base man Bill Werber from Cincin nati and sold Outfielders Joe ' Moore and Morrie Arnovlch to Indianapolis. This business followed such deals of the meeting's first day as the Chicago White Sox trad ing Outfielder Mike Kreevich and Pitcher Jack Kallett to the Philadelphia Athletics for Outr fielder Wally Moses and the Boston Braves buying Outfield er Tommy Holmes from Newark for crash. Yanks Seek Camilli The big talk, however, was the bidding of the world cham pion New York Yankees for Ca milli, veteran first baseman of the pennant winning Dodgers and the National league's most valuable player, last season when he led in both home runs and runs batted In. The best guess was that Harry MacPhail, Dodger president, was asking about 175,000 for his prize, even though all other National league clubs waived on him at $7,800. President Ed Bar row of the Yanks was thought to have offered about $30,000. Representatives of the two clubs met yesterday and last night and the dickering was to continue today. If it should go through the Dodgers hoped to buy Johnny Mlze from the St. Louis Cardi nals. Also on the first were the possible sale of Outfielder Rip Radcliff by Detroit to the Bos ton Braves and the White Sox offer of Second Baseman Billy Knickerbocker and other induce ments to the Tigers for Out fielder Bruce Campbell and Pitcher Dizzy Dean. The Wash ington Senators also seek Camp bell. Expect Willamette Will Stage Tourney Salem, Dec. 10. UP) Paul B.
