MANY TRADES ARE LOOMING

New York, Dec. 13.-(P-InSpired
by the first big player deal of the
annual conclaves the magnates of
the American and National leagues
settled down Tuesday to three solid
days of barter, lobby lounging, and
serious efforts to prune the baseball
business of all unnecessary expense.
In every corner of the major league
hotel headquarters, behind closed
doors, on lobby settees, in fact any
where that two rival managers could
find space to argue, bidding for tai
ent broke out afresh at the example
set by Bill Terry, young manager OF
the New York Giants.
Bill vowed, soon after he took the
reins from the hands of John Nc
Graw last season, that he'd trade
every man on the club if he got the
chance-and the opposition is giving
him a chance to make that threat,
or promise, good.
Tuesday night he sent Freddy
Lindstrom, crack center fielder, to
the Pittsburgh Pirates in three
cornered deal that also involved the
Phillies.
Get Spencer and Davis
In exchange for Lindstrom and
Chick Fullis, substitute outfielder
who moves on to Philadelphia, the
Giants received Glenn Spencer, a
young right handed pitcher, from
the Pirates, and George Davis. fine
outfield prospect from the Phillies,
formerly of st. Paul.
To balance the third corner of the
trade the Pirates sent Gus Dugas.
21-year-old outfielder, and sum of
cash not announced, to the Phillies.
All the players involved are right
handlers with the exception of DugaS,
q southpaw slugger. who came to the
Pirates last year after clouting .4l9
with Kansas City, and hit .237 In So
games, mostly as pinch-hitter.
To the mind of the experts as
sembled in great numbers for the
annual meetings, Terry's second big
swap of the off-season gives the Pi-
rates Just about the strongest out
field in the National league in the
two left-handed Waner brothers,
Paul and Lloyd, and the right-hand-
ed Lindstrom, and materially en-
hanceS their chances of dethroning
the championship Cubs.
For some time there have been ru-
mors, however, that the Giant star
was not happy in his old surround
ingS, and the trade lends credence to
some of the stories circulated after
John McGraw stepped down as the
Giants manager, Terry stepped up.
and LindStroms work began to fall
off.
Although the club owners, in sep
arate league meetings, had before
them the recommendations Of the
joint steering committee Of the two
major circuits for drastic economies,
trades still We're of absorbing inter
est.
Many Changes Brewing
Vieing with suggestions for lower
ticket prices, further reduction OF the
player limit, and outlawing of radio
broadcasts for all but World Series
games, were the desires of the various
clubs to bring out changes something
like this:
Washington Senator's A young
pitcher or catcher from Cleveland
in exchange for Harley Boss, slug
ging rookie first baseman, who is ex-
cess baggage in the capital.
Cincinnati Reds-A good outfield-
er, from any club, with every man
on the Cincinnati club with the ex-
ception Of Red Lucas, 81 Johnson
and Chick Hafey offered for choice.
Boston Braves-Wanting a third
baseman, but refusing to consider
any deal involving Wally Berger. Bill
Urbanski, Bob Brown or Huck Belts.
Brooklyn-Looking for a customer
for Dazzy Vance, with Mickey Finn.
second-baSeman, offered as special
inducement.
Philadelphia Nationals - Still in
the market for second-baseman,
but refusing all suggestions concern
ing Chuck Klein, Don Hurst or Pinky
Whitney.
Chicago Cubs-Listening to any
and all propositions involving left
handed pitching.
Giants-Open to all reasonable Of
fers.
