NEW YORK, Dec. 10.-Johnny
Berardino, the baseball player
turned actor, apparently prefers the
life Of an Indian to that Of a
Senator.
The handsome second baseman re-
Gently baked at being traded by the
st. Louis Browns to the Washington
Senators, but yesterday apparently
was all smiles over the deal which
sent him to the Cleveland Indians.
President Bill Veeck of the In
dians, who gave the Browns Out
fielder George Metkovich and a re-
ported $4,000 for Berardino, said
he had contacted Berardino before
the deal was made and was assured
that he would play for the Indians
next season.
do you think I'd give up all that
dough If I weren't sure that Berar-
dino would play for us?" Veeck
asked.
Berardino now is engaged as a
Hollywood movie hero by the Rich
ard K. Polimer Productions. He is
q California resident during the
of season.
Deal Was Cancelled.
Berardino was traded to the Sena-
tors two weeks ago for Second Base
man Gerry Priddy and $4,000, but
announced he would not report to
the Senators as he contemplated
giving up baseball for a movie career
The deal was Cancelled by Commits
sioner A. B. Chandler and the play
ers returned to their former clubs.
Washington sold Priddy to St
Louis later in straight cash trans
action and now Berardino winds ur
with Cleveland. Veeck said he ex-
poets to keep Berardino, who batted
.261 in 80 games last year, as inf1eld
insurance. Metkovich batted .254 ir
126 games last season.
The Berardino-M -Metkovich deal was
the only one announced yesterday
although the lobby of the Waldorf
Astoria, where the major league
winter meetings are being held, was
flooded with rumors of player trans
actions.

war, were made yesterday at a
meeting between members of the
Junior Board of Commerce, which
will undertake the sales, and off,

will be held January 3, in the
National Guard Armory.
The tickets will fall in three
categories-box seats, which will
sell for 81, reserved stand and
balcony seats within proximity
of the finish line which will sell
for SO, and general admission
seats in other parts of the bal
cony, 81. All prices include tax.
Advance reservations may be
obtained by writing to The Eve

Evening Star Building, where al

Actual distribution of the tick
cts will be started in about one
week. Only about 1900 tickets
will be available because of the
limitation set on the seating by
the fire marshal.
Groups desiring to reserve spe-
cial sections may obtain them
during the week or so before the
general sale starts. Boxes hold
from % to 40 seats while sections
in the balcony run up to 1875
seats. Applications for blocks Of
seats will be accepted until the
general sale Of individual seats
is begun. Thereafter the seats
will be sold on a first come, first

Longden Never Bets
On Races, Makes His
Million Riding
By the Assoeiotsd Press

SAN MATEO, Calf, Dec. 10
Old-Timer Johnny Longden, the
million dollar jockey who has ridden
more winners this year than any
other in America, goes matter-of-
factly back to work at Bay Meadows
today to boost his modern-day,
single-season record of 308. .
In his 20 years on Americas
tracks, this 37-year-old son Of an
English coal miner claims 5000
victories-a mark no other Amer
ican rider has approached. And
his 1947 total tops all season records
since 1906, when Walter Miller ran
up 1888.
His nearest current competitor,
Chicago's Steve Brooks, already was
tagging and Steve's decision to take
o vacation clinched the one-season
mark for Longden. Johnny last
Friday topped Jackie Westrope's
total of 301-a one-season mark
that had stood for IA years.
Boots in Four More.
Iongden booted in four winners
yesterday and is scheduled to ride
in three races today. Handicappers
figured him at or near the top on
two of the three mounts-Willow
Way in the fifth race and Barbed
Heels in the sixth.
His standard big track fees of $40
for a ride or $50 for win, plus a
frequent 10 per cent cut of the
winners purse, have put the poor
house far away.

NEW YORK, Dec. 10.-Commis-
sioner A. B. Chandler joined the
major leagues today in endorsing
the longrange plan to bring in four
teams Of the Pacific Coast League
for the purpose Of expanding each
major league from 8 to 10. teams
The commissioner, who was a
member of the f1ve-man committee
which visited the coast last August
intends to bring the plan before the
Joint major league meeting tomor-
row.
Along with the National and
American Leagues, Chandler is OF
the opinion that the 10-club plan
is the most practical and could be
accomplished with the "least trouble
to baseball"
Frick Mum on Decision.
The National League owners
touched on the coast league problem
yesterday as the three-day winter
meetings began. . Although league
President Ford Frick declined to re-
veal the decision, 1t was learned that
the senior circuit rejected both Pei
requests. The coast league wanted
major league status as a unit o.
major-minor classification.
The majors held: First, the eigh
cities involved at the moment can
not support major league baseball
second, it would be unfair to the tw,
other triple-A leagues to grant tn
Pei special privileges without doinl
the same for them.

Veeck Is Certain Berurdino
Won't Walk Out on Indians

The Brooklyn Dodgers, who are
said to be trying to trade Shortstop
Billy Cox to Chicago for First Base
men Ed Watkins, haven't shed any
light on the negotiations.
Billy Evans, general manager of
the Detroit Tigers, disclosed he had
offered $4,000 and three players to
the Browns for Berardino, but was
turned down. He confirmed a report
that he was after Catcher Jim
Hogan of the Indians but said Cleve-
land wanted Outfelder Walter
(Hoot) Evers. "Evers will not be
traded" he added.
Evans countered with Pitcher
Dizzy Trout, Catcher Hal Wagner
and Outfielder Pat Mullin for Hogan
and a pitcher, presumably left
handler Bob Kuzava, but was turned
down.
Clubs Want Hogan.
Hogan, a fine defensive catcher,
appears to have become the most
sought after player here. Not only
do the Tigers relish his services, but
the Yankees, Red Sox, Browns and
White Sox would like to have him.
Each club has made an offer, but
so far Veeck has failed to nibble
at the bait.
The Dodgers made an effort to
lure Johnny Hopp, first baseman-
outfelder, from the Pirates, but
Billy Meyer, new manager. of the
BUGS, asked for Shortstop Pee Wee
Reese and that ended all discussion
The Phillies still were seeking q
first baseinan, the New York Giants
were looking for a pitcher and the
Cincinnati Reds were willing to give
up Pitcher Johnny Wander Nicer
Catcher Ray Mueller and Utility
Player Bert Haas for a center
fielder. Harry Walker, Nationa
League champion batter of the Phils

had, but only for Pitcher Ewel
