TEN -MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE
Cincinnati,
Cards Make
Hurler Trade
By JOE S AEGIS
United Press Sports Writer
Frank Lane, famed for his
. trading talent, has completed a
swap -which he figures is bound
to strengthen the Cardinals' bull
pen, and from the looks of
things, there's more coming.
The trade h& made Tuesday
involved righthander Brooks
Lawrence and lefty Jackie Col
lum.'Lane sent Lawrence, a dis
appointment last year after a
fine rookie campaign, to the Cin
cinnati Redlegs in exchange for
Collum, a hard-working little
guy who figures to add balance
to St. Louis' predominantely
right-handed relief corps.
"It's not earth-shaking," he
admitted, "but it's a start."
Lane may visit the Redlegs
and - Chicago Cubs training
camps later in the spring after
those clubs have had a chance
to appraise their own talent and
. Gabe Paul, the Cincinnati gen
eral manager, and Wil Mathews,
in charge of Chicago player per
sonnel, might like to make it a
round robin -affair.
Signing Action Brisk
Meanwhile, action on the sign
ine front was brisk. The Giants
corralled knuckleball relief art
ist Hoyt Wilhelm, who lost his
touch in 1955, the Phillies bag
eed four Dlayers including
Richie , Ashburn, the National
League's leading batsman last
vear with a .338 average: the
Yankees agreed to terms with
first-baseman Bill Skowron; the
Tigers satisfied Ray Boone, J.
W. Porter and Charley Max
well: the Cubs announced the
signing of catcher Clyde McCul-
lough, and the Orioles signed a
pair of rookies and first base
man Bob Boyd, up for another
major league trial.
Wilhelm had a 4-1 mark , in
1955, considerably under his 12
4 mark during the 1954 cham
pionship year. But in four years
with the club he has compiled a
38-16 record and is credited with
having saved at least 75 games
by the Giants.
Four Agree To Terms " : y
Besides Ashburn, who report
edly signed for $25,000, outfield
er Jim Greengrass and rookie
catchers Joe Lonnett and Mack
Burk agreed to terms with the
Phillies.
, Right-hander Charlie 'Locke,
who had an 18-ft mark last year
at -San Antonio, and shortstop
PaFWitty Quintana, who batted
nnH tiit 19 hnmpri with the
same club, signed rookie con
tracts with the Orioles.
Elsewhere, Willie Mays of the
Giants, Bob Feller of the In
dians, Clem Labine of the Dod
gers, Monty Irvin of the Cubs
and Bob Porterfield and Mickey
Vernon of the Red Sox will be
among the honored guests to
night at the eighth annual base
ball dinner of the Union Leader
Fund, Inc., of Manchester, N.H.
James Keelty, president of the
Orioles, has confirmed reports
the club may sell its San An-
iasixxu xaxixx tiuu x iuc xxgixu uuti

Cisco Fights
Jim Carter
Chicago (U.R) Cisco Andrade
risks his hopes for the world
. lightweight championship to
night against a three-time title-
holder, but the determined 25'
year old westerner was an 8 to
5 underdog for his television
brawl with veteran Jimmy Car
ter. "I think the fight's a stepping
stone for me to the title," An
drade said. "I've been told that
if I beat Carter, I definitely get
a "title chance against Wallace
Smith in Los Angeles next.
"My manager told me that, but
I don't know who told him, may
be ' the 1 International Boxing
Club."
Will To Win .
Andrade, who has been beaten
only twice in 34 pro fights, an
ticipated that determination and
"my will to win" would be
enough to offset the experience
of Carter, who has won 70 of 99
pro battles with nine draws.
:; Carter lost and regained the
lightweight title three times, but
Smith took the crown from him
the last time and held it in a
return match. ' ' .
"If I can lick him convincing
ly I imagine 1 11 get a shot at
the title again," Carter said. "I
want to keep active anyhow be
cause when you're not' active
they drop you in the ratings."
Andrade expected to weigh
about 135 for the- scrap while
Carter said he would be 136 or
137.

White Sox
Player Dies
Chicago U.R) George (Buck)
Weaver's dream of clearing his
name may come true some day.
but it will be too late.
Weaver, 64, once a famed
third baseman with the Chicago
White Sox, collapsed suddenly
and died Tuesday on a South
Side street not far from his
home. He apparently suffered a
heart attack.
Weaver was one of eight mem
bers of the 1919 White Sox
team charged with . "throwing"
the World Series of that year to
Cincinnati in the famed "Black
Sox" scandal. The eight were
barred from baseball.
But Weaver throughout the
years maintained, his innocence
and made several efforts' to re
turn to basebalL Once 30,000
persons signed a petition asking
for his reinstatement.
Landis Firm
Baseball Commissioner K. M.
Landies, who barred the players,
remained firm. In effect, Landis
blamed Weaver for.' not .report
ing overtures made to him to the
proper authorities.
Weaver broke in with the
White Sox in 1912 and was a
star almost immediately. Always
known as a great fielder, he hit
.300 in 1917 and .296 in 1919,
both Sox pennant years. He hit
.333 in 1920 before the scandal
broke. .
With professional baseball
closed to him, Weaver played
semi -pro baseball for many
years in the Chicago area. In re
cent years, he had been a.mu
tuel clerk at Chicago race
tracks.
