Moot of them may not he cotnpleted urtM later but c lpA of ground Work haa been lald, There have been some definite offers and feiectlons. The Indians offered Ken keltner, thelr third baseman, Co the Browns ln exchange for Center Fielder Wally Jtidnlch, but Muddy Retl, the new manager of st. Louis, mixed that one al- though he admitted he definitely was interested in the Cleveland in- fielder.
 Only Five Saved
 But Ralel said that J,ldnich was one of the five Brown players who were not on the market, the others being Pitchers Bob Muncrlef and Jack Kramer, Shortstop Vernon Seepheue and fnfielder Johnny Ber- ardtno. The others, he said, "were up for sale or trade"
 The Browns were out In front SO far as the number of players were concerned, but their city rivals, the Cardinals, were on the other end. Owner Sam Breadon, although ad- mitting that he has received offers for Marty Marion, Stan Mtsial and whitey Kurowski, said none of his stars were for sale or trade. Confis dent that both Howie Pollet who was injured in late season last year, and Johnny Beanely would come back as front line falrlers, the gray- haired Cardinal owner said he was looking forward to another National Leaeue pennant and worlds cham paonship.
 President Warren oales and Man. ager Johnny Neun of the Reds came here with the permission of Owner Powell Crosley to spare no expense" in an effort to obtain some heavy hitters.

 He said the Reds had received feelers from "a lot of National League clubs for his three catch ers-Ray Mueller. Ray Lamanno and Al Lakeman. But he was quick to add that he would not part with Meullers services under any cir- cumstances He intimated that a lot of teams were after Lakeman and that he may be used as trading material.
 The Indians definitely had Kelt- ner on the market to all clubs ex- cept the Boston Red Sox. None of the American League teams were interested in talking deals with the i9is American League pennant wniners.
 There was a report that the Yam kees had offered the Indians Johnny Lsndell, outfielder-inflelder, in exchange for First Baselnan Les Fleming, but nothing concrete de- veloped.

links. He's had the nickname
Uncle Joe" ever since he attend
ed the Coast Guard Academy Glass
