Owners Mrs. Carl E. Morgan of
High Point, N. c., we're going

There wasn't a happier fellow

has been handling his charge
since last May. when Judge Vir-

selected Rise and Shine as best
in-show before a crowd of 10000

tossed his dog in the air in

Young said Mrs. Morgan has
about 80 dogs.
But when she came TO me
and asked what l thought of
Rise and Shine, I told her he
looked mighty good to me and
agreed to take him." Young
added.
Still, Rise and Shines victory
was an upSet-make no mistake
about that Oh. Rancho Dobe's
Storm, the great Doberman
pinscher who won in 1851 and

But there were so many dogs

conceded Rise and Shine a

two groups and four specialties

There were six great dogs

And I couldn't have gone

White Sox Counting on Groth
7oHove That Big Year at Last

and times of the Sox general
manager.
Groth's major league record
suffers mostly by comparison
with what was expected of him.
He came from Buffalo with a
record of 30 homers in 48 alone
"a total he's barely matched in
i've years with Detroit and St.
Louis. Somewhere along the line
he lost that power.
AT Detroit. for instance. he hit
.293 and .306 and .299 and .284
IN successive campaigns. Those
are fairly respectable averages
these days.
Yet IN 1851. when he made 1913
hits. only 33 were for extra bases.
including three homers and one
triple. That's why the Tigers
began to lose faith in Groth.
RecapitulatiOn of Trades,
Trading activity has been
pretty steady along the major
league fronts. Here's a capsule
recapitulation of some of the
bigger deals with an tx) denot-
ing the teams which appear to
have the better of the trans
actions:
White Sox: Groth and
Johnny Lipon of the Orioles for
Sam Mele and Neil Berry.
X' Washington: Maurice Nc
Dermott and Tom Implicit from
the Red Sox for Jackie Jensen.
tx) Yankees: Harry Byrd and
Eddie Robinson from the AS for
Vic Power, Don Bollweg and Bill
Renna.
x)Braves: Danny O'Connell
from Pittsburgh and Bobby
Thomson from the Giants for
100000 In cash and players. The
two deals included Pitchers
Johnny Antonelli, Don Liddle
and Max Surkont and Outfielder
Sid Gordon.
X)Phillies: Pitcher Murrv
Dickson from the Pirates for
Jack Lohrke. Pitcher Andy Han
sen and a reported 100000.
(x)Cardinals: Shortstop Alex
Grammas from Cincinnati tvia
Tulsa for Pitcher Jack Crimian
and a reported $4,000.
Thus II of the 16 mainline
teams have done some shuf1ing
Only the Tigers. Dodgers, In
dams and Cubs have failed to
show any signs of life, and the
Dodgers. naturally, don't really
need anything.
That leaves the Indians. Cubs
and Tigers in class by them
selves. hardly candidates for cum

Cards Rookie Is Key
To Trade Of StaIey,
Jab|onski 10 Reds
By the Associated Press

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 9.-The Car
dinals. who gambled and won on
Wally Moon last season, bolstered
a sagging bullpen staff but took
another look at the wheel of
fortune today in the person of
Ken Boyer, an untried third
baseman.
The gamble developed when
the Cards, sorely in need of re-
lief pitchers for two years, parted
with Third Baseman Ray Jablon-
ski and Pitcher Gerry Staley
yesterday to get Reliefer Frank
Smith from the Cincinnati Red
legs. .
Boyer, who came to the Cards
from the Texas League, Is the
No. l prospect to replace Jablon-
ski.
Dick Meyer, Cards general
manager, admitted the club gave
UP "a lot'' to get Smith but said
he and Manager Eddie Stanky
felt I'VE couldn't make much
progress without an adequate
bullpen."
Cincinnati plans to use Jablon-
ski. the first Cardinal rookie to
drive in more than 100 runs, as
its regular third baseman to re-
place Bobby Adams. Jabbo, %,
who belted home 112 runs his
freshman year in 1858, hit .296
last season and drove in 104 runs
but has been regarded by some
as a defensive liability.
Hopes for StaIey Comeback.
Gabe Paul, Cincinnati's gen.
eral manager, also believes Staley
(7-13) will regain his form in
new surroundings. The 31-year-
old Staley, who had an 1879 rec
ord In SO, had figured In Card
