Dodgers Eye More Trade Propositions New York (U.R) The youth-minded Brooklyn Dodgers having taken the first plunge by dealing away 37-year-old Jackie Robinson, are expected to cause more trade ripples shortly to make room for new talent. Even before Robinson was traded to the New York Giants Thursday for left-handed pitcher Dick Littlefield and an esti mated S50.000, Vice President E. J. (Buzzy) Bavasi of the Dodgers admitted, "I've got to get rid of one or two of our older players so that the young sters will get a chance to play." Left fielder Carl Furillo, who will be 35 before the Dodgers open defense of their National league championship next spring, may be the next Flat bush "graybeard" sacrificed for younger blood. Only Future Will Tell Although Bavasi admits that "only the future will tell how much we'll miss Robinson." Jackie's shipment across the East river at least will give Man ager Walt Alston a. chance to test such promising youngsters as outfielder Don Demeter and infielders Charley Neal and Chico Fernandez. Robinson, meanwhile, will play first base for the Giants next season. That's the same position he played in 1947 when he broke the game's color line as a Dodger rookie. When he learned of the trade, Robinson said, "I have no hard feelings with the Dodger man agement, but now I'm a member of a different team and I'll be out to beat the Dodgers as best I can." He will get his first chance "to beat the Dodgers" next April 24 when the Giants invade Eb bets Field for their first 1957 meeting.
