Burning Over
Spence Trade
Topping, Evons Join
In Attacks on Steps
Aiding Boston Club
By Joe ReichIer
Associated Press Sports Writer

NEW YORK, Dec. 11.-Skipper
Joe Mccarthy and General Manager
Joe Cronin of the Boston Red Sox
fiddled today while the rest Of the
American League burned.
Still smouldering over the deal
that sent three top-fight players
from st. Louis to Boston last month,
American League club officials be-
came further incensed yesterday
when the Red Sox lured Stan
Spence, hard-hitting outf1elder of
the Washington Senators, in trade
for Reserve Outfielder Leon Culber-
son and Rookie Second Baseman AL
Kozar.
Spence, despite a .279 batting av-
erage last season, Is expected to
bolster the Red Sox outer patrol. He
smashed 16 home runs and drove in
73 runs. He is the fourth top-grade
performer acquired by the Nc
Carthy- -Cronin combination since
Marse Joe took over the helm last
October,
Veeck Blasts Trade.
Even before their acquisition of
Spence, the Sox had gained the title
of "the team to beat in '48" via last
months garnering of Ace Shortstop
Vern Stephens and Starting Pitch
ers Jack Kramer and Ellis Kinder
from the st. Louis Browns for a
flock of utility players and untried
rookies-not to forget f1stful of
cash.
Those at the boiling point include
Bill Veeck, president Of the Cleve-
land Indians; Dan Topping, New
York Yankee head, and Billy Evans,
general manager of the Detroit
Tigers-al Of whom confessed they
were getting tired of seeing the Red
Sox grab big name players right
from under their noses.
I'm sick about the whole thing"
said Veeck vociferously. For two
years I've been trying to get Spence
and every offer I made to Wash
ington was considerably better than
the one the Senators accepted from
Boston. Only last night offered
Grif a deal that would sound fan
tastic in view Of the players he got
from Boston"
Topping, who has been trying to
land another starting pitcher with
little success thus far, still is boiling
mad over the way he was treated
by the Browns in the Stephens
Kramer matter.
Had No Chance to Bid.
eve never even had a chance to
bid for them" he said. THE Browns
knew we were in the market for
Stephens and Kramer, but accepted
the Red Sox offer without even ask
ing us to better the figure"
Evans, still moaning over losing
out In the bidding for Second Base
man Johnny Berardino whom the
Browns traded to Cleveland Monday
night, said he would have made
bid for Spence if given an oppor-
tunity.
1--WE offered $4,000 and three
players for Berardino, but the
Browns sent him to the Indians for
less money and only one player"
he complained. Now We are not
even given a chance to bid for
player who could help U.S."
Charles De Witt, secretary OF the
Browns, denied the Browns ever
received such an offer from Detroit,
claiming that the only offer made
by Evans was cash outlay OF $50, 900
for Berardino.
