NO SWAPS LIKELY
WITH BAN CLOSE
American Loop Only Talks
Trades After National
MendS Its Fences.
By HUGH S. FULLERTON, Jr.,
Associated Press Sports Writer,

Barring sudden switch from speech
to action on the part of American
League moguls. the Is major league
baseball clubs will have to go through
the hardest part of the pennant fight
with whatever material they have on
hand now.
About the time the Dodgers are ex-
pected to wind up their first adven-
ture under the foodlights-midnigh
tomorrow-the ban on interclub trad
ing goes into effect The National
Leaguers have completed a good many
deals in the past few days and appear
to have finished the job, but the
American Leaguers have only talked.
There still are plenty of weak spots
that might be strengthened, but for
the most part the prospective pennant
contenders are in good shape. There's
talk that the New York Yankees and
Cleveland Indians are after Buck New
som, the winning pitcher down at ST.
Louis, but the chances are neither will
get him. The Browns want players
while the offers are in cash. Cleve-
land also has chance to pick up
Elden Auker, the submarine finger,
from Detroit, but apparently doesn't
want to give up what it takes.
Kampouris Boosts Giants.
The deal that sent Alex Kampouris
from Cincinnati to do the second
basing for the New York Giants seems
to have put the National League
champions right in shape to make
their big pennant bid in the home
stand against the West which starts
today. Alex helped out lot on the
recent Western tour, and the Giants
returned home on top.
The Reds got a regular outfielder,
Wally Berger. in that deal, but have
been having some trouble replacing
Kampouris. Linus Frey hasn't done
especially well and on Sunday was
replaced by young Justin Stein, OBJ
tanned from the Phillies for Buck
Jordan.
In addition, the Reds have recalled
Don Lang from Albany and bolstered
their mound staff by their latest deal
which sent Pitcher Al Hollingsworth
and the veteran catcher, Virgil
(Spud) Davis, to the Phillies for
Bucky Walters. If they can plug the
hole around second, they ought to
stick right up there in the first di-
vision.
Phillies Get Some Help.
The Phillies, with Jordan on first;
Phil Weintraub, who came back from
Baltimore recently when Manager
Jimmy Wilson decided Gene Corbett
wouldn't do, shifted to the outfield;
Davis working behind the plate with
Bill Atwood and giving Wilson a
chance to stay on the bench, and
with two new Fingers. may move q
little faster than before, but they
aren't likely to be bidding for the first
| division.
Both leagues took yesterday of for
travelling and today the Western clubs
of the National open in the East with
Pittsburgh taking on the league
leading Giants and the Cubs facing
the third-place Boston Bees in the
headline encounters.
Safely home from the East, but with
their American League lead cut to
112 games over New York, the In
dians open against Washington, while
the Yanks play in Chicago.

It was one minute to o'clock yes

But yesterday they all gathered IN

said, "here's q little present from the

Capt. Raleigh took the hy rod and

Officials Apply Gag While Working

District officials today chung to
hope they may be able to meet require

from any announcement of their ac-
tivities.
Chastened by the sharp criticism
leveled at them yesterday by Secretary
of Interior 1ckes, the P. w. A. director.
the city officials imposed on themselves
a gag on discussion Of their plans.
1t was believed they promptly began
a restudy of their proposed $18,15o.-
900 program. Capt. Patrick Henry
Tansey, assistant engineer Commis-
sioner assigned to P. W. A. projects,
conferred with Corporation Counsel
Elwood H. Seal but there was no an
nouncement of their discussions.
Criticizes Officials.
Mr.. Ickes' disclosure that he had
virtually thrown out the major portion
of the proposed program for the Dis

missioners had failed to comply with
p. w. A. rules. was coupled criticism
that the city heads had INDUCED in

proposals.
Capt. Tansey said the engineer Of
f1ce Of the District was working its

ments. but had nothing specific to say
One handicap faced by the District
is that there is no appropriation avail
able for drafting detailed plans for

for drafting and engineering services
only for projects for which Congress
has provided construction funds out

Some work has been done on the
plans for the proposed new Municipa.

was contemplated when Congress ap-
proved appropriations for the new Po-

Plans for the proposed medical ward

but these plans are not in final form,
since there has been no appropriation
