Greenberg. voicing his annoy ance from the Indians' spring training site in Tucson, Ariz., was the most outspoken against the Yankees over the deal they made Tuesday with Kansas City. "It must be great to have your own farm system in the same league," he snapped, obviously referring to previous deals be tween the same two clubs in which such players as Johnny Sain, Tom Gorman, Eddie Rob inson, Enos Slaughter, Lou Skizas and Bob Cerv, figured. Get "Six Chances" "What are they all crying about?" Stengel snapped back from the Yankees' training quar ters at St. Petersburg, Fla. "When we tried to deal with the other six clubs in the league, they threw out a boycott against us. Now they're all moaning be cause we dealt with Kansas City again." Meanwhile, Stengel wasn't at all sure that the Yankees had hoodwinked the Athletics in the deal as a majority of baseball people seemed to think. "Kansas City's got six chances to look good on that deal," Casey said, "and I got only two."

Another player is due KC by April 13. Regarding the two pitchers. right-hander Art Ditmar and left-hander Bobby Shantz, he in herited from the Athletics Sten gel had this to say: Shantz' Arm Okr "I liked Ditmar the first time I ever saw him. But there's one thing I can't understand. We tried getting him a year ago after he won 12 and lost 12 and they say he's untouchable. So last year he's 12 and 22 and now suddenly they're willing to give him up. "We know all about Shantz' arm condition. But we asked around and find out it's okay." To get the highly-regarded Graff, the Athletics in an accom panying deal, sent first baseman Wayne Belardi and pitcher Jack McMahan to Denver which will get an additional player by April 15. Part of Tuesday's deal back fired and there is a chance that there may be added repercus sions from the trade that was made. In addition to Ditmar and Shantz, the Yankees orig inally received bonus infielder Cletis Boyer. then had to re turn him to KC later in the day because as a bonus player he is not subject to trade until May 31. "That could have nullified the whole deal," explained a Yan kee spokesman, "but we'll get another player in his place by June 15." PAYS FOR ITSELF . . .
