 New York, (UP)-Brooklyns Lar " MacPhail, most active of the major league magnates in buying and selling baseball players, has no intention of letting the l94l of the Dodgers return to the diamond next season unchanged. They won the National league flag last year after a great battle with the St. Louis Cardinals but all indications point to a streamlining of the Brooklyn outfit.
 Pitching strength, needed almost always by all clubs, will come up in the form of Ed Head and Chet kehn from Montreal in the Inter- national league, but new third baseman another outhelder and some catching strength to help Mickey Owen will be necessary next year. Infielders Pete Coscarart and Cookie Lavagetto may go on the block with pitcher Luke Hamlin. Coscarat and Lavagetto are poor hitters, while Hamlin owns the ripest home run ball in the majors.
 Out in Philadelphia, the baseball clubs are always having trouble particularly in winning. This time, venerable Connie Mack of the Athletics is troubled by the pos sibility that the army air corps soon may summon one of his star out fielders, Sam Chapman. If he goes, Chapman will leave a big hole on Mack's club but early reports say that Connie is trying to swing a deal to bring outfielder Roy Weath- erly of the Indians to his club.
 Terry to Cleveland?
 Armchair managers in baseballs Hot Stove league have always spent the winter in moving manager Bill Terry of the New York Giants into different jobs. For a time, he was scheduled to go into the front oface of the Giants in an executive spot. Then he was to go to the Cleve- | land Indians as manager. Appoint. ment of Roger Peckinpaugh scotched that one, though. Now the grape vine says that Terry may go to Cleveland to replace Cy Slapnicka who resigned from the Indians front office. He may get some com- petition from Peckinpaugh on that, too.
 From the National Football league we hear that: Dave Parker, the Brooklyn Dodgers rookie end from Hardin Simmons, has never owned a pair of shoes. A cowpuncher and rodeo rider, he prefers high-heeled boots at $25 a pair. Clinton (Red) McClain the little stick of dynamite in the New York Giants backfeld, paid his own way ID from Southern Methodist to the training camp at Superior, Wis, and asked for a tryout. His personality won him chance and his line smashing got him job.
 Tn the Middle West they take their football bands seriously. The l75-piece University of Illinois scheduled a return engagement this year at the Notre Game Illinois football game.

 On the Run
 Talk about your busy men. Lloyd Larson, former University Of Wis., consin star now of the Milwaukee Sentinel, who was head linesman for the AriZona-Notre Dame game, left Notre Dame in his ofaciating clothes, ate his dinner enroute and drive into Waukesha, Wis, foul minutes before the start of night game he was ofnciating. He tarried here only long enough to grab . handful of notes on the game, kept by a student, from which he wrotG his story for Sunday mornings paper. Whew!
