Two Periods
For roding

CHICAGO, Dec. IT (AP).-
The interleague trading period
didn't go far enough and there
should be two each year, ac-
cording to Bill Veeck, president
Of the White Sox.
"I'd like to see another one
in June" Veeck said yesterday.
Unrestricted trading then
would be more helpful because
by that time every club knows
exactly what it needs after
seeing its players in action for
several months.
Il would make it a much
shorter period, though, than
the one in the fall November
2l-December 15) because YOU
have plenty of time to do your
negotiating. All you have to
do is announce the deals dur
ing the period specified. At
most, five days would do 1t,

"You know, people wondered

Ill tell you why. I did it for
PSYCHOLOGICAL reasons. First of
all, my team wasn't hurt if I
was thrown out. I did it to
create a mental hazard. I
wanted the pitcher to know
I'd run any time. So the next
day. or the day after. If I got
on base in a tied-up ball game,
the pitcher would become SO
jittery and nervous trying to
keep me close to the bag, that
his attention was distracted
from the batter. That's where
it paid of. We won many a
ball game that way"
