 Chicago, Dec. 10- (UP)-Connie Mack, venerable manager of the Philadelphia Athletics, is expected to provide the biggest news of the annual major league baseball meet ing today by announcing another of his famous player deals.
 Reports say he will send Eric Mo- Nair, shortstop; Roger Cramer, out fielder; Jimmy Foxx, first baSeman, and Johnny Marcum, pitcher, to the Boston Red Sox in exchange for $3O0, 1000 cash and three players.
 The Boston athletes said to be involved are Gordon Dusty) Rhodes, pitcher; Babe Dahlgren, first baSeman, and either Carl Rey- holds or Mel Armada, outf1elders. If the deal is consumatted it will mark another attempt of Tom Yaw- key, millionaire Red Sox owner, to fulfill his burning ambition to pro- duce a pennant winner.
 In the winter of 1883 Yawkey prr- chased Lefty Grove, Rube Walberg and Max Bishop from the Athletics when he found that Mack was in one of his periodic needs for hard cash.
 Mack had broken up great ball club the year before by sending Jimmy Dykes, Al Simmons and Mule Haas to the Chicago White SoX. Two years ago Mack sold Mickey Coch- rane to Detroit and sent George Earnshaw to the White SoX. Money Needed
 Mack dislikes getting rid of his re- maining stars, especially Foxx, but once more he is badly in need of cash. Neither he nor officials of the Red Sox have confirmed the report ed deal but it seems to be common knowledge among the Boston and Philadelphia sports writers.
 Both the major league clubs will hold their first sessions today with the Nationals scheduled to convene at 10 a. m. and the Americans at 2 p. m.
 The only deal announced so far was the big mystery transaction between the New York Giants and St. Louis Cardinals. It was made during the minor league meeting at Dayton month ago but official ar- nouncement was held up for the ma jor league meeting.
 Horace Stoneham, son of the own- CT of the Giants, revealed that his club traded pitchers Roy Parmelee and Allyn Stout, Second Baseman Al Cuccinello and Utility 1nfielder. Phil Weintraub for Burgess Whitehead, l, substitute second baseman.
 Whitehead filled in for Frankie Frisch last summer when the Card manager was indisposed. The young ster batted .258. Weintraub, Stout and Cuccine1lo probably will be sent to Columbus in the American asSo- citation, a Cardinal farm. Parmelee, once great pitcher, had sore arm all last season and may be of little use to the Cards.
 In the Balance
 Attempts of the White Sox to sell or trade Al Simmons to the Tigers failed to get past the preliminary stage yesterday despite 8 long con- ference between the club managers, Dykes and Cochrane.
 Cochrane complained that the Sox demand too high price for the big outfielder. One report said, however, that they might get together on a deal if Cochrane will throw in Jo Jo White, outfielder.
 Another rumor was that the Cubs want to trade Chuck Klein to the Philadelphia Nationals for Pitcher Curt Davis. What probably will hap pen is that the Cubs will buy Davis The Phillies need money too badly to be trading their star pitcher away without any cash involved.
 National leaguers are expected te put final approval today on reorgan- ization plans for the Boston Braves The proposal would return Charles F. Adams to control of the club anc place Bob Quinn at the helm as gen. era1 manager. Kenesaw Mountain Landis, commissioner of baseball, k reported to have gwen his unquali- fled support to the plan. Quinn is general manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers but has been advised that he can obtain his release if the Braves want him.
