MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Dec. 3. (UP)
Supremacy of the New York
Yankees wasn't exactly threatened
today but activities among other
clubs indicated that every effort
is being made to plug weak gaps
among the also rams and generally
tighten up the American league
race.
Trades of the past "a hours at
the minor league convention have
resulted in the following realign--
ment of players among American
league clubs:
Detroit Tigers Pitcher Vernon
Kennedy, Outfielder Fred CDixie)
Walker and Utility Infielder Tony
Piet from the White Sox.
Chicago White Sox:-Outfielde
Gerald Walker, Third Baseman
Michael fresh, who was farmed
out last season TO Portland, from
Marvin owen, and rookie Catcher
the Tigers.
Boston Red Sox:-Outfielder Joe
Vosmik from the Browns.
st. Louis Bro W -Outfielder
Buster Mills, Pitcher Buck New
som and Shortstop Ralph Kress,
last year with Minneapolis, from
the Red SoX.
The Tigers-White Sox deal may

prove an important transaction be-
cause those two clubs finished sec
ond and third behind the Yanks
and both are likely to benefit from
the 6player swap. Because of the
uncertainty surrounding School
boy Rowe's arm the Tigers desper-
ately needed mound strength. Ken
nedy, who won 81 and lost 8 in
1886 and won IA and lost 13 last
year, is expected to bolster Detroit's
weakest spot
In sacrificing Kennedy the White
Sox plugged a bothersome gap at
third base with Owen, who batted
81 last season, and obtained dan
gerous right-handed hitting out
fielder in Gerald Walker who bat
ted 1886. Dixie Walker, no relation
to Gerald, batted 300. Both Walk
ers' are 27
Piets future with the Tigers is
in doubt but the 23-year-old fresh,
considered an outstanding young
who batted .271 for Portland, is
prospect by the White Sox.
Manager Mickey Cochrane of the
Tigers plans to use Mark Christ
man, rookie from the Beaumont
Texas league club, at third base
