SEATTLE. Dec. 13.-Nineteen-
year-old Freddie Hutchinson, who
stepped out Of high school this year
into professional baseball to be-
come the Pacific Coast Leagues S best
pitcher-is going to get his first
squint at major league baseball next
season-in uniform of the Detroit
Tigers.
When told last night of his sale
to the American League club by
Seattle for reported price of $50, 900
and four players. Freddie gulped,
blinked his eyes rather unbelievingly
and then with big grin on his face
said:
Don't ask me whether it feels
good to know you're going to the
majors. You know how you'd feel,
don't you? Well, that's the way I
feel-tickled to death. 1t is 15-
year-old dream come true. That's
where I've wanted to go since the
first time I saw baseball"
Freddie's father. DR.. j. L. Hutchin-
son, Seattle physician, once said he
brought his son up on baseball
instead of a rattle.
And thanks to his father, Freddie
is going to get a slice of the pur-
chase price.
When the Seattle Indians sought
Freddie's signature on the dotted
line this season, his father an
nounced:
"Sure, Freddie will sign with the
Seattle club If the terms are right.
Now the first thing we insist upon
is that the boy share in the sale
price If sold to the majors. If
we can't agree on that, we won't
waste any more words"
Seattle agreed and tossed in .
bonus variously reported at $2,500
to 5000.
1t was a good investment. The
Seattle club enjoyed one of its best
seasons in years, both in the stand
ings (the team finished in second
place. and in attendance. At times
some fans had to be turned away
when Freddie was pitching. He won
IS games and lost only 7. He
famed 145 and walked 80. He also
had the best earned-run average,
allowing only 2.48 a game.
Freddie, who once said he would
like to play first base five days
and pitch the sixth, was no slouch
at bat. He won several games for
himself with timely hits and wound
up the season with batting aver

NEW YORK, Dec. 13-With ru-

American and National Leagues

Clark Griffith, owner of the WASH

Chicago Cubs are willing to listen
to Griffith's demands for the big

The Mats are rumored to be try

The Washington-Detroit confab,
which excited the imagination of
bystanders, failed to produce any
fireworks, if it came off at all yes
terday. Griffith refused to reveal
the extent to which he has talked
about trading Shortstop Cecil Travis
to the Tigers, but he was to confer
definitely with Owner Walter Briggs
and Manager Del Baker today and
it was expected that preliminary
offers and counter offers would be
made
The way for a Washington-De-
troit deal apparently was opened
last night when the Tigers failed to
agree with the Cleveland Indians on
trade involving several players
from each team. The Indians were
interested in getting Pete Fox. Ell

but none was agreed upon.
