BALTIMORE, Dec. 6.-Mana-
ger Bucky Harris indicated today
that while the seeds of several +
deals have been planted, the Mats
aren't likely to complete any
trades until the major league
meeting in New York next week.
II don't believe we'll make a
trade here" said Bucky. who
came to Baltimore yesterday for
the annual minor league meet
ings. TITS possible, of course.
that we will, because I laid the
groundwork for deals with sew
eral clubs at the draft meeting
in Cincinnati several weeks ago.
However, if anything pops, it's
more likely to happen next week
in New York. There is less con-
fusion at the major league meet
ing and more chance to huddle
quietly"
Long Talk With Stengel.
Harris conferred for two hours
yesterday with Casey Stengel, his
successor as manager of the New
York Yankees. After the talk
most of which took place in a
crowded hotel lobby-neither
manager had any information for
reporters. Bucky also talked with
Red Rolfe. manager of the Detroit
Tigers.
The Mats admittedly possess lit
tie bait. Of course. they have
Pitcher Ray Scarborough and
First Baseman Eddie Robinson to
tempt other clubs, but little else
to offer. Harris and President
Clark Griffith admit they'll part
with either Robinson or Scarbor-
ough if their terms are met.
Harris leaves no doubt, Incl
dentally, that Griffith remains the
boss.
II did all the talking at Gin
cinnati," Bucky said, "but we can't
close a deal without Griff. He
probably will come over from
Washington today and maybe
things will get a little hotter if
he does. Anyway, I've done about
all the talking I can do. If there's
action, Mr.. Griffith will supply it."
Scarborough Stock Rises.
Griffith, shackled with an
eighth-place club, says he is going
after q second baseman, an OUT
fielder and pitchers. Last July
the Yankees turned down Tom
my Byrne-for Scarborough deal at
the last moment, but Scarbor-
|ough's value has increased greatly
since then and the Mats aren't
likely to cast him adrift on that
basis.

add something to Georgetown
basket ball In his new role as the
Hoyas' court coach-but first
glance at the team in its 73-46
romp over Catholic University last
night indicated that it had lost
something collectively about 100
pounds.
Big John Mazziotta. who not
only was pig. but big and fat last
year, and Frank Alagia. who was
so blubbery he quivered when he
ran, have been streamlined and
there's not an extra ounce on the
entire 14-man squad.
Although he was not subject to
strict conditioning in his playing
days at Georgetown, nor with the
Caps and St. Louis Bombers,
|o'Grady has a pet theory on con-

ported last fall it didn't touch a
basket ball for two weeks. Instead,
the Hoya courtmen reported to
Track Coach Frank Cevigne for

sprints.
The Hoyas, too tall and too ex-
perienced for the scrappy Car
dinals, looked good at times, and

showed enough promise to give
the seniors with the starting jobs
some uneasy moments.
Hoyas Play Under Wraps.
AS a new coach, O'Grady, of
course, was partial to his sopho-
more talent when he succeeded
Elmer Ripley this year. But to
date the seniors have been out
playing the sophs and will be used
as regulars as long as they con-
tinue to do so. What want is
to get the kids who don't have
first-string, jobs roofing for the
ones who do-not against them, "
O'Grady said. If we have that
spirit and condition and hustle
and drive, we'll do all right"
O'Grady didn't use any one
combination long enough to give
the American University scouts
too much of q line on what to
expect tomorrow night at Uline
Arena. But Assistant Coach
Dutch Schulze and the A. U. play
ers saw more than they antici-
pated.

Johnny Brown was almost half
of Georgetown's ofense in the
first half as with an unstoppable

He didn't score in the second half
and Mazziotta took over as the

Mats Trades Unlikely at Meeting in Baltimore
Harris Sees Weeks Delay;
M Owners Match Braves
By the Associated Press

BALTIMORE, Dec. 6.-The spot
light was thrust squarely on the
Boston Braves today as the rest
of the trade-minded National
League clubs waited to see what
Manager Billy Southworth would
do before making a move Of their
own.
The general feeling at this 48th
minor league convention is that
Southworth must dispose OF at
least three of his alleged "insur-
rectionists" before he resumes
active control of the club on the
field.
Those supposed to know insist
that Second Baseman Eddie Stan
ky and Pitchers Johnny Sain and
Bobby Hogue are certain to be
traded. They would not be too
surprised if Billy were to trade
either Warren SPAIN, southpaw
ace, or Vernon Bickford, right
handler. Both pitchers are said
to have voiced their displeasure
against Southworth.
Southworth, due here today, left
the Braves in midseason because
of illness following season-long re-
ports Of dissention on the club
Two of the alleged dissatisfied
players-Jeff Heath and Phil Masi
ALREADY are gone.
Package Deal" Discussed.
Knowing that something must
snap to break the trade jam
Brooklyn, st. Louis, Cincinnati
Pittsburgh and the Giants are
patiently biding their time. They
want to see where the strength
lies when the smoke clears follow
ing the Boston explosion.
John Quinn. general manager
of the Braves, admitted the Giants
had made Boston an offer for
Stanky, but added that so had
several other clubs. He did not
deny or confirm that Eddie was
on the market. but revealed that
the Braves recently had turned
down a cash offer for the scrappy
infielder.
Quinn limited. at package
deal with the Giants involving
several players, but refused to go
any further.
It was learned that the Braves
had all but completed a deal that
would have sent Shortstop Alvin
Dark. Sain and Stanky to the
Giants for Outfielder Willard
Marshall, Shortstop Buddy Kerr
a top-fight pitcher and a bundle
of cash. At the last moment
President Lou Perini stepped II
and called the deal of because h
did not want to let Dark go.
Southworth, who stopped owe
in Columbus. Ohio, to attend th'
funeral of Sports Writer Boil
Honey, a close friend. is expected
to arrive today.
Jobs for Old Timers.
Meanwhile, two old-time Ma
tional outfielders provided a little
news. Max Carey, who managed
the Dodgers in the 1930s after
many years of stardom with the
Pirates, disclosed that he has been
offered a coaching job with the
Chicago Cubs, and Dixie Walker
another former Dodger and Pirate,
accepted the post as manager OF
the Atlanta Crackers in the South
ern Association.
Carey, who for the last five years
has been president of the ALL
America Girls Softball League
said he was offered the Chicago
job by Charlie Grimm. now vice
president of the Cubs. Carey
added that he expected to give
Grimm his decision today.
Walker was signed to q one
year contract with Atlanta follow
ing his release by the Pirates. He
will remain on the active list, but
only as a pinch-hitter and utility
outfielder.
