Hot Stove Orioles Bank On Diering ' By BEN OLAN NEW YORK (1 Outfielder Chuck Diering, who couldn't make the grade with the St. Louis Cardin als and tho New York Giants of the National League, today loomed hs a key figure in the plans of the Baltimore Orioles for the upcoming season. Diering, who was listed as John ny Groth's No. 1 replacement in the Orioles' centerlield spot, now Is expected to get first crack at the job., Oroth and inficldcr Johnny Lipon were traded to the Chicago White Sox yesterday for outfielder Sam Mele and infielder Neil Berry. No cash was involved. The 31-year-old Diering, a light hitter during his National League tenure, reportedly picked up some baiting points at Minneapolis last season. Defensively, Chuck always has been considered one of the best In Mele, the American League s liewest entry came up with another power hitter to go along with out fielder Vie Wcrtz, first baseman Dick Kryhoski and third sacker Junior Stephens. ; Groth, who came to the American League from Buffalo with quite a reputation a few seasons back, slumped to a .253 batting average and that according to Baltiir.ore General Manager Art Enters .was ihe reason he was considered ex pendable. Both Berry and Lipon are rated is weak batters, alUioush Berra is considered the Better fielder. Elsewhere on the basebslll front, the Philadelphia Phillies, who've had their troubles signing several "name" players came to terms with outfielder Del Ennis for an estimated $25,000. Ennis batted .235 in 1953. Pitchers Robin Roberts and Jim Konstanty, among others, still aren't in the fold. The Milwaukee Braves came up with two satisfied players yester dav outfielders Andy Fafko and pitcher Jim Wilson. Others to sign were soutnpaw pnener aiorris jvuu tin of the Philadelphia Athletics: nltcher Max Surkont. catcher Pete Naton and first sacker Dale Cooian of Pittsburgh and rookie pitcher Vachel Perkins of Balti more.

And that, at the rate they are expanding their scouting staff and building up their form system and laying top money, on the line for promising talent the Red Birds threaten to be extremely nara to beat within another season or two? Had It occurred to you that the recent decision of the U. S. Lawn Tennis Assn. to permit its young stars to work for sporting goods ilrms the same as tncy do in Australia was a meaningless ges. lure? Our manufacturers served notice beforehand that they had no in tention of burdening their payrolls with such talent, partly because they know that no red blooded American net prodigy would think of signing up for less than three or four times the $40 a week tne Aussie youngsters draw. Would It not be the Yankees' luck to have Ewell (The Whip) Blackwcll make a big comeback and turn in 15 or 20 victories Just when it looks as though Allie Rcyn olds, Vic Raschl and Eddie Lopat are starting to go over the hill? Blackwell still is only 31, and he says his right arm feels great again after its complete rest since last July. Back in 1947 Biack.e notched 22 victories for Cincinnati, including a string of 18 in succes sion, v Is It not worth noting that Fred Hauey, who had Danny O'Connell at Pittsburgh last season, said without equivocation that Mil waukee's acquisition of of the bril liant young Infielder made the Braves a "definite pennant threat?" Especially since he made the statement before the Braves landed Bobby Thomson, a 100-rbi man, and Sim Calderone, a competent catcher who can take some of the hot weather pressure off Del Cron dell. It has been disclosed, by the way, that Cincinnati offered the Pirates $150,000 and six players for O'Connell, -so it is worth wonder ing what Branch Rickey really did bank In that deal. And Isn't It about time every- laxed and accepted Bevo Francis for what he is one of the truly preflt set shot artists basketball has seen?

MOTOR OVERHAUL SEE JUCKELANDl TKO in One Giardello Thrashes Cartier By JACK HAND NEW YORK W "From now on, call me Jolting Joey." Joe Giardello, a technical knock out winner over Walter Cartier in 2:48 of the first round, was talking about himself last night in his dressing room. "I like the feci of those knock downs," he said. "I've been letting those guys get off the hook too long. From now on, I'm out to stop 'em all." It was the second straight fight in which Joe's opponent had failed to last the limit. He stopped Garth Panter, the rugger! Salt Lake City mauler, in his last previous start, Jan. 8. That was the first time Printer hadn't gone the route. THREE TIMES Giardello dropped Cartier three times, automatically stopping the fight under rules of the New York State Athletic Commission. Ref eree Horry Kessler ended matters as soon as the 29-year-old New York veteran went down for the third time, all from right hands. "I was going to tell the referee about the rule If he hadn't stopped It. I know all about the New York rules. I oughta." . Giardello, of course, is the boxer who holds a Supreme Court de cision over Bob Chrlstenberry, chairman of the New York State Commission, t , After . the bout, Chrlstenberry said he would favor a change in the rules to take Into considera tion a third knockdown with only a few seconds to go. STRONG Cartier, 161, to Giardello's 15T,i, said he was strong enough to con tinue if the bout hadn't been stopped. He was up at five after the first knockdown, scored by a stunning right that was Giardello's best punch of the night. He was up at two the second time and popped up at two the last time. Of course, he had to take the auto matic eight on the first two knock downs. Like all good little middleweights, Giardello started yelling for cham pion Bobo Olson after his victory. Olson won't be available until after he defends his title against Kid Gavilan at Chicago, April 2. Joe is the no. 2 challenger In the latest ring ratings. A crowd of 4.851 paid $13,378 to see the nationally televised fight.
