ly, anybody who can even run
2 miles has a good chance Sat-

LaPierre'S shift to that distance
is minor injury received in the
National AAU meet last Satur-

Running in the l4-man mile

worked up through his shoe,

tention. That was the first time
this winter he had been worse

he would figure as No. 2 to

form.

Lentz is devising an aluminium

But Dietzel says he has no ap-
prehension about sliding, even
though Eddie Yost will be as
signed to instruct Roy in the
niceties of head-first sliding.
Yost adopted that style after
suffering a severe ankle sprain
in 1949.

will take q seasons play to figure
out who got the best deal.
The PhillieS started the merry
go-round by trading Meyer and
some cash to Ia. Boston Braves
for First Baseman Earl forge
son, The Braves promptly sent
Meyer to Brooklyn in exchange
Tor Iniieldera Rocky Bridges and
Shortstop JIM rendleton, then
snapped Bridges to Cincinnati
for First Baseman Joe Adcock.
The Braves included another as
yet unnamed player in the C1n-
cinnati deal.
The shutting may not be all
over yet, since the Reds have
been trying to get Ralph Kiner
from Pittsburgh. Branch Hickey
supposedly is interested in young
inielders. So Bridges may end
up with the Pirates.
Another Starting Pitcher.
Brooklyn supporters figure
they got starting pitcher while
giving up only Bridges, a good
fielder who hasn't proved he
can hit, and Pendleton, a hot
prospect from Montreal. but still
untried in the majors.
The Dodgers sorely needed an
other starting pitcher. If he can
produce, Meyer. who had a 1914
record with the Phillies last sea-
son, will be taking his turn with
Preacher Roe, Billy Loes and
Carl Erskine. This will leave
the rookie Of the year, Joe Black,
to perform relief chores, the job
he handled so well last season.
II Brooklyn was happy, so was
Boston. A Braves spokesman said
the club had been cycling Pen
dleton. t1ashy Negro infielder,
for a long time but that
last year the Dodgers wanted
players and a lot Of cash.
For a net outlay of, one slump
ridden first baseman and one
other player, the Braves acquired
Pendleton. Adcock and cash.
Pendleton was chosen on the In
ternational League all-star team
last season. He hit. .291. includ-
ing II home runs. Adcock had
made no bones about being un-
happy in Cincinnati. He wants
to play first base. instead Of the
outf1eld where the Reds used
him. His 1852 average was .278.
Harder Move to Figure.
The Torgeson-to- Philadelphia
move was . little harder to fig
ure, although the bespectacled
left-hander may thrive on a
change Of scenery. Torgy, now
%. was a star Of the 1913 World
Series which the Braves lost to
Cleveland in six games. but last
season he lost his job for
while to Rookie George Grove.
He ended up playing 122 games
with an average of .230.
The Phillies now have two
first basemen-Torgeson and
fancy Fielding Eddie Watkins.
Since they also sent money
along with Meyer in the swap,
the Phillies obviously had some
special plan in mind for forge
son. One Of the suggestions was
that Watkins might now be
traded.
Cincinnati'S dement's remain to
be counted pending the identity

deal, the Reds reserved the right
