|PHILS WERE HUB l OF WINTER TRADES
 IN BASEBALL WORLD
BY. GEORGE KIRKSEY


 Chicago, February 19 - (UP)-- Traffic in baseball players has beer light in the major leagues during the off-season, a check-up today re- vealed
 r Although 20 players will wear diff 'ferent uniforms this season, only two direct trades have been made since the 1890 season ended and the Phillies made both of them.
 A Big Deal
 They traded Lefty O'Doul, hard hitting outfielder, and Fresco Thompson. second baseman, to Brooklyn for Pitchers Clise Dudley, Jumbo Elliott and Outflelder Hal Lee and cash.
 Pitcher Claude Willoughby and burgh for Shortstop Dick Bartel
 Not single trade has been made in the American League. The Chi cago White Sox are still talking about trading Willie Kamm for Lew Fonseca, but the deal apparently is being held up because Cleveland hasn't signed Eddie Morgan for first base.
 The Chicago Cubs acquired three new pitchers, purchasing Jakie May from Cincinnati, Lester Sweetland from the Phillies, and Bob Smith from the Boston Braves. Two play CTS, Pitcher McAfee and Outfielder Schulerich figured in the Smith deal.
 Out Then In
 The Athletics released three vet erans and all of them caught on with other major league clubs. John Picus Quinn was signed by Brook. lyn. Cy Perkins landed with the Yankees and Wally Schange joined Detroit.
 Two Red Sox veterans. First Base man Phil Todt and Catcher Joe Heving. went to the Athletics on waivers.
 The Yankees sent Outfielder Harry Rice to Washington on waivers, and signed Joe Sewell, veteran infielder as 8 free agent after Cleveland had cut him adrift.
 Washington released Muddy Ruel veteran catcher. and he signed with the Red Sox. Joe Dugan. third base man. let out by the Braves, was signed by Detroit.
 Al Bool. catcher, was purchased from Pittsburgh by the Braves.

Philadelphia, Washington and New York appear certain to furnish the pennant competition with the other five clubs out of the picture. The Athletics, virtually standing pat on the team which spread-eagled the field during the past two seasons, again loom as the most logical choice for the flag, with Washington more dangerous rival than the Yankees.
 All Set. fN 3ff r.stt
 Connie Mack is satisfied with the Athletics lineup and will devote his attention at training camp chiefly to If he finds a pair of youngsters to share the mound burden with Grove, and Walberg, the Athletics will be a hard club to catch.
 Washington likewise has. added little talent, Joe Kuhel. American association star, is slated to under- study Joe Judge at first base and will break into the lineup if the vet eran slips, while Harry Rice, former Yankee, is available if Outfielder West suffers a recurrence of <, his 1880 arm injury. The Senators had the most effective pitching staff in the league last year and Manager Walter Johnson believes his hurlers VIII make the CIuD a StIONS SVh. tender again this season.
 Pitching continues as the chief source of worry for the New York Yankees. Joe Mccarthy, who made the Chicago Cubs a National league pennant threat, is seeking to develop the mound staff and the addition !. of Myrle Hoag, Pacific coast out fielder, Werber.. rookie shortstop. and Joe Sewell, former Cleveland star, may bring new fares to the Yankees lineup.
 Kamm Wanted.
 Cleveland is faced with serious weaknesses at shortstop and third base and needs stronger pitching to become real contender: Manager Peckinpaugh believes the rockies Thomas and Craghead will come through as regular pitchers and stil' hopes to secure Willie Kamm from the White S6x to i'll the third base gap. ,f
 Detroit and St Louis lacked both pitching and punch in 1880. but both clubs profess to believe that tnelr mound problem will be solved by inn proved work of their present twirl- CTS. The Tigers have added catch ing strength through the purchase of Grabowski and will depend on rookie outfielders to produce batting strength. St Louis is planning 9 complete shakeup in the infield ana ,outheld with numerous rockies stat ed for regular berths.
 Boston Stronger.
 Chicago, boasting good pitching and strong outfield. probably Will start the season with at least three rockies in the .infield. Boston has adced pitching strength and secured five outfield candidates who hit bet ter. than 300 in the minors, but IS handicapped by. an uncertain inneio'
