Along with Furillo, the Phillies probably would receive rookie shortstop Bob Lillis, who played with St. Paul of the Am erican association last season, plus a pitcher. ' If the deal can be worked Out, the Dodgers undoubtedly would want, in addition to Ashburn, one of two rookie', pitchers lefthander Seth- Mprehead or. righthander Dick Farrell.
