General Manager George Weiss said he trie dto make deals with two National league clubs-and will keep on trying "but . we iust .can't seem to. get together." Delighted The Yankees, delighted in obtaining Maris,, although he batted only .273 last season, said they had no apology to make over the fact they had to deal with the A's again. Casey Stengel, who okayed the deal, said at his Glendale, Calif., home that he planned to make Maris his regular left-fielder .despite the fact Roger played right field ex clusively for Kansas City last season. ' "Now It looks like we have a complete outfield," Stengel said. "We'll try to go with Maria in left, Mickey Mantle in crenter, and Hector Lopez in right. I know we gave up a lot but we feel it' was worth it to get the man we wanted." That man, of course, was Maris, on whom the Yankees have had their eye for the past two years since he broke in with Cleveland in 1957. Maris hit only .235 in 1957 and .240 in 1958 but has shown evidence of tremen dous Mantle-like power.
