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.
Wallace, president of the Wil
lamette University b oodraf,
lamette Unlveriity board of
trustees, predicted yesterday
that Willamette would comply
with a request to stage the state
basketball tournament again,
March 11-14.
He said, however, that the
official decision of the Oregon
High School Athletic Associa
tion's request would not be
made until university athletic
department heads could be
reached.

RETURN TO ARMY
Philadelphia, Dec. 10. (JP)

baseball "out the window" and
plans to return to the army
within a few days.

American league's most valu
able player in 1940, told friends
yesterday while visiting here:
"I'm going back in. We are
in trouble and there is only one
thing to do return to the serv
ice. "I have not been called back.
I am going back of my own
accord."
Greenberg, whose 'baseball
salary was a reported $50,000
a year, was inducted under se
lective service last May and dis
charged a few days ago because
he was over the 28-year age
limit.

By Hugh FullertoB. Jr.
(Wide World Sports Columnist)
New York, Dec 10. (Wide
World) New York's first air
raid alarm yesterday busted up
Fordham's opening drill for the
Sugar Bowl game . . . and the
reports said It waa Missouri that
is weak on air defense! . . . Won
der how sertou Don Barnes is
about moving the Browns to
Lot AngelesT ... It was a cinch
he would be turned down this
time . . . The transportation
problem it hard tfcj beat as long
as club owners 'art hesitant
about trusting their valuable
ivory in airplanes and the ball
players feel the same way about
it ... A deal of some sort for
Johnny Mize may be the next
news from the baseball meet
ings . . . Dodgers and Giants
both are supposed to be after
him, although they may be
scared off by hearing that he's
still bothered by a sore shoulder
even though he hasn't tried to
throw recently.

ball playoff was sold out all
