(UPD- The Kansas City Athletics had completed a general house cleaning today with the trade of Norm Siebern to the Balti more Orioles for Jim Gentile and $25,000. The exchange of first base men Tuesday marked the de parture of the last of the old Athletics, those who were on the team s roster when Charles O. Finley purchased the club in January, 1961. Finley has wielded a busy broom from the start in his ef forts to rebuild the Athletics. But he has swept at a spring cleaning pace during the past eight days in a crash program to add power to the lineup. Last week, the Athletics sent second baseman Jerry Lumpe and pitching mainstays Dave wickersnam and Ed Kakow to the Detroit Tigers in exchange for slugger Rocky Colavito, a right-handed swinger. The Ti gers also sent along relief pitch er Bob Anderson and $50,000 with Colavito. That was the first step in Kansas City's program for power. One-Two Combine The second step in the pro gram came Tuesday when they got uentue, a lett-nanded slug ger. We feel that now we have the best one two home run combination that Kansas City has ever had," said Athletics General Manager Pat Friday. hiebern, the last varsity hold over from the club Finley pur chased, was the only semba- lance of power in the Kansas City lineup during the past three seasons. He batted clean up. His best year was 1962 when he hit 25 home runs, drove in 117 and batted .308. Last year he hit 16 homers, drove in 83 runs and batted .272. Gentile, who at 29 is one year younger than Siebern, had a poor year last season. He batted .248, hit 24 homers and drove in 72 runs. But Gentile has produced more for the Orioles in the past four seasons than Siebern has produced for the Athletics. Dur ing that period. Gentile hit 124 homers, drove in 398 runs and batted .272. Siebern hit 78 home runs, drove in 367 runs and bat ted .289. . . . . cianr uuinrers Prep for Tipoff SALEM Four basketball teams each from the Northwest Conference and the Oregon Col' legialc Conference are applying iimshing touchs to their attacks in preparation for the fifth an. nual NAIA Tip-Off Tourney to be hosted by Willamette and Pacific Universities Dec. 5-7.

Purchase of the 29-year-old Freese was announced by Gen eral Manager Joe L. Brown, who last year traded away three-fourths of the infield that brought the Pirates their first world championship in 35 years in 1960. At the time, he said the trades were made to bul wark his pitching in order to make the club a contender. Brown refused to disclose the price paid for Freese but said "it was the highest price ever paid for a player in the eight years I have been with the Pi rates." "The management has justi fied their confidence in me by approving the purchas e," Brown said. "I talked with Gene and he said he was happy to be back with iis. He told me he is in top-notch physical con dition and felt it was like com ing home again by rejoining us." Brown added that the Pirates would give up a minor league player to the Reds. He said the identity of the player would be announced later. Brown's dealings between 1962 and 1963 sent first baseman Dick Stuart to the Boston Red sox, shortstop Dick Groat to the St. Louis Cardinals and third baseman Don Hoak to the Phil adelphia Phils. In return, Pittsburgh received pitcher Don Schwall and catch er Jim Pagliaroni from the Sox, pitcher Don Cardwell and in fielder Julio Gotay from the Cards, and outfielder Ted Sa vage and infielder Pancho Her rera from the Phils. Stuart, Groat and Hoak, along with second baseman Bill Maz eroski, comprised the Pirates' infielder in 1960 when they were world champions. THURLOW SHINES STANFORD, Calif.
