CLEVELAND. May 7l.-The
Senators and Indians win de-
eide today on a tentative trade
which would send Ed Yost. Jim
Lemon and Pedro Ramos 10
Cleveland In exchange for
Pitcher Cal McLish. outfielder
Rocky Colayito and another
player.
President Cal Grifith Of the
Senators said he and General
Manager Frank Lane Of the
Indians would report back 10
their managers results Of their
almost continuous conference
last night prior 10. during and
after the Senators 2-i defeat
on a three-hitter by McLish.
Snaggine the deal at the mo-
ment is the reluctance Of Lane
to part with Outfielder Roger
Maris. 23-year-old lefthanded
hitter. Maris currently is bat
ting less than ESQ and was
only a .235 hitter last season.
but Is regarded as one Of the
brighter prospects In baseball.
Grifiith Cool on Dolby
Lane has offered outnelder
Larry Dolby to the Senators
instead of Maris, but Grifhth
temporarily has refused tolcon-
slider the 33-year-old Dolby.
who has been plagued By in
iuries in recent years.
Were closer to a deal than
we were previously" Gfifith
said. II want to talk things over
with Cookie and Lane wants TO
talk with Bobby Bragan (cleve-
land manager before we de-
eide anything"
I'D say it will be yes or
mo- today" Lane said. There
won't be any deal unless We
get Ramos. I'm going to be an
unpopular guy around here II
I let Colavito 60. and II he
goes I've got to get something
in return" .f
Grif1th repeatedly has his
choice of Pitcher Mike Garcia,
Dolby, or j. w. Porter as the
third player who would come TO
the Senators. Porter, rs. has
played the outfleld. caught and
played first base. f.
McLish, 80, is q Highlander
who had O ct record last sea-
son. He posted his first 1858
win last night. A 200-pounder,
the 6-foot-l Oklahoman al
lowed only one hit after the
first inning-Julio Becquer's
leadoff single in the eighth
inning. f.
Ramos Gives Seven Hits
Ramos, now "a, pitched q
fine seven-hitter but the Sem
ators wasted his excellent
effort. They got to McLish for
a run in the first inning when
Herb Plews singled, stole second
and scored on Neil Chrisley's
single after Lemon walked.
For the next ga innings
McLish stopped the Senators
cold. The only runner to reach
base until the eighth was
Lemon, who walked and went
out trying to steal in the
fourth.
Meanwhile, the Indians
nicked Ramos for the tying run
in the first inning as Gary Gel
ger doubled to left, Bobby Avila
walked and with one down
Preston Ward singled to left,
scoring Gieger.
Maris opened the fourth in
ming with a single, raced to
third on Russ Nixon's single to
center and scored when Billy
Harrell forced Nixon.
The Senator'S lone chance TO
tie the score came in the eighth
when Becquer singled, moved
to second when Ken Aspro-
monte grounded out and shift
ed to third when Ramos sacri-
feed. Albie Pearson stranded
him with a liner to Avila.
NOTES: Chuck Stobbs will
bid for his FIRST victory today
against Don Mossi as the SEN
ators try to avoid a sweep! -.
The Senators have lost nine
OF their last 10. First Base
man Norm Zauchin sat out last
nights game with q sore shoul-
der. =. He damaged the shoul-
der diving for Wards grounder
in the ninth inning Thursday
night.
Ward collected three hits for
the Indians. Lavagetto said
he would send Yost to left
field today as a replacement
for Chrisley. who has his
troubles against lefthanded
pitching. Lane admitted
McLish was being "showcased"
for the Senators benefit last
night. =. The victory gave the
