BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, June 2.-The biggest
trader in baseball today? It's young
Bill Cox. new owner of the Phila-
delphia Phillies.
Since purchasing the Phils less
than four months ago, the wealthy
33-year-old lumberman has added
IL players, parted with four and dis
posed of some of his ready cash

new field generalissimo of the Phiis

Even so, Cox's only counterpart

In their one face-off, young Cox
walked off with four Dodgers with
out giving up player at a time
when Master Snapper Hickey had
eyes on several Phillies.
Just Straight Trade.
And yesterday in a straight swap
of outfelders with the St. Louis
Cards he obtained three PLAYERS
Coaker Triplett, Buster Adams and
Dain Clay (who will report from
the Cards Rochester farm for his
Danny LitWhiler, a hitter whose
clouting has fallen off recently, and
Earl Naylor.
Today there already were rumors
another Phil deal, involving Triplett
was in the ofing.
That's fast work, but Cox says
speed as an essential to success is
the only thing about baseball of
which he is certain. And speed, he
added, was the main asset of all
three players obtained yesterday.
Cox, whose speed complex dates
back to his interest in track, said
that Clay. the only minor Lacquer
involved in the Card deal, can run
like everything" The inclusion of
Clay may have been desirable be-
cause all four Philly infleld regulars
are subject to earlv draft calls and
Clay, while an outfelder before this
year, has been playing third base
and shortstop for Rochester. He has
been batting around 290 and steal
ing more than his share of bases.
Adams Potential Hitter.
Adams" Cox said, had little
chance to break in the Card lineup,
but at Sacramento last year he bat
ted .309 and drove in l07 runs. Trip
lett has had more experience than
the other two. but his main asset is
speed (Triplett in 25 times at bat has
had two hitS)."
AS for Litwhiler Cox said sending
him to the world champions was no
insult to Danny, who has played
hard for us this season. Litwhiler
has hit five homers but his batting
average has dipped to 273. Naylor
who came up from Memphis, is bat
ting .18l and has hit three homers.
Cox had a word for Manager Har-
ris. too.
Baseball folks told me I couldn't
go wrong on Harris. I am finding
their advice was very, very good"
