 New York, November 5. +- (UP)-- That annual drama of the diamond, '-The Meeting of the Majors, which usually turns out Co be . fatal conn promise between simple friendship and earnest baseball conniving, is not scheduled for public showing until just after the turkey meets the axe. But trade talk grew to such volume today that Q record player turnover may be confidently forecast for next months conclave.
 econd-guesgang team and tnui- vidual player performances for the past season is favorite winter pastime for all baseball devotees but an attempt to analyze in ad. vance any deals of the diamond that might be engineered by such deft traders as Larry Macphall oi Brooklyn, Branch Hickey of St Louis and Jimmy Dykes Of Chicago is strictly Q gamble.
 Nevertheless, this is the age oi journalistic privilege, SO with little regard for reputation and less for success, here's . snap survey Of the trade timetables worked out by the major league clubs for Decern' her o-iO-iI.
 Dodgers - Babe Phelps and Luke Hamlin sure to go, with Cookie Lavagetto also mentioned for the black. MacPhail Is after another outfielder, more catching strength and southpaw pitcher.
 Cardinals = Loaded with talent, Manager Billy southworth again faces Q hard job Of figuring who to cut loose rather than who to buy.
 Reds - On Q perennial hunt foi a slugging left-fielder and may shake loose outfieIder Jimmy 0lee. son, who hit only .233 last season
 Pirates - Willing to part with Lee Handley, Arky Vaughan or anyone else to nab one of four Philly pitchers-Johnny podgajny, Tommy Hughes, Frank Hoerst or Ike Pear son.
 Seek Handley
 Giants - Scheduled for a terrific rebuilding job all around. Hot afteI Lee Handley or Pittsburgh or BobbJ Bragan of Phils.
 Cubs - Expected to rebuild from end to end with yoslngsterg with youngsters but willing to bid high for players who can hit big league pitching.
 Braves - Stellar shortstop Eddie Miller can and may bring big money in the ivory mart. Reason he may 90 is acquisition of Froilan FernAn- deg who led the Pacific coast hit- ters with .33I.
 Phillies - Magnet for all other clubs trade advances. Have tempt ing material in pitchers podgajny, Hcerst, Hughes and Pearson, in- fielder Danny Murtaugh, Bobby Bragan and Nick Etten and out- fielder Danny Litwfiler.
 Yankees = President Ed Barrow says his club may stand pat but Yankee Stadium has always had a heavy hitter on first base 90 Johnny Sturm may 60.
 Red Sox = Neither Tom Yawkey nor Joe Cronin will talk about changes but Jimmy FORK has slipped and may not be back. A little added pitching talent would put them in the contenders' class.
 White sox = Jimmy Dykes sin- cereiy saddened by clubs soporific showing in September. Luke Appiing reported on the block but he and Taft Wright are the teams only 300 hitters and that's what Dykes needs more than anything else.
 Tigers - Pitching, pitching and more pitching. Gap in infield left by Charlie Gehrlnger's retirement to be filled.
 New Manager?
 Indians = Even the Inanager'A status is in doubt here. With MBobby Teller classified as l-A by his draft board, pitching will be big concern.
 Browns - Second base and short- stop chief weak spots.
 Senators - Barter bids open on pitchers Ken Chase and Vernon Kennedy, and outdelder Doc C.sssaer with a return influx of infelderG called for.
 Athletics = Catcher Frank Hayes named most often in proposed swaps. Need outfilder to replace Sam Chapman who's scheduled to join the U. s. Air Corps. Figure [ oangle for Roy Weatherly 09 Cleveland.
