TAMPA. Mar. 19.-Pitcher
Camilo Pascual has become the
key figure in trade talk between
the Senator's and Yankees, with
the world champions switching
their aim toward the fast-ball-
ing Cuban highlander rather
than Dick Hyde, crack relief
pitcher.
However. early reports that
the Yankees were offering Out
fielder Hank Bauer. their ag-
gressive 36-year-old star. as
part Of their package deal were
ruled out today. The Star was
informed that Bauer will re-
main with the Yankees.

Senators. keeping mum about
players involved. nevertheless
declared it's possible Washing

ers from New York in exchange
for two from the Senators
within the next week.
Griffith will send Coach Bill

Senators while the Yankees
play six games there.
Given List Of Names
We've been given quite a
few names to consider" Griffith
said following a Commute con-
ference with George Weiss,
Yankees general manager, yes

backbone Of the deal would be
that we'd get a shortstop and

Long Reign as Champion
Likely for Davey Moore
Cuts Over Eyes
Dethrone Bussey
After Is Rounds

Los ANGELES. Mar. 10
Gap. - Davey Moore, who
almost quit boxing three years
ago. is the new featherweight
champion Of the world and
there is every indication that
his reign will be a long one.
The 25-year-old Negro from
Springfield. Ohio. lifted the
title from Ho, AN kid Bassey
Of British Nigeria last night in
a nationally televised bout at
the Olympic Auditorium, win
ning on a knockout in the 18th
round although he never was
able to floor his gallant OPP
lponent.
Bassey's manager, George
Biddles. called on Referee
Tommy Hart to stop the fight
between the 18th and 14th
rounds because Bassey was
blinded by the flow of blood
from cuts over both eyes. Under
California rules If a fighter is
ahead and his opponent is un-
able 10 continue because Of
cuts. 1t is scored as a knock
out.
It was the third time in the
26-year-old Bassey's career that
he has lost a bout because Of
cuts.
Rematch Scheduled
| A rematch is scheduled here
within 80 days, but it may be
postponed on two counts.
Moore is slated to undergo a
tonsilectomy and it may take
longer than three months for
Bassey's cuts to heal.
Those doggone tonsils al
most cost me the chance at
the title" Moore said after the
fight. And his manager. Willie
Ketcham. revealed that he al
most called of the fight when
Davey came up with a sore
throat and a l0l-degree tenn
perature last Sunday.
The sharpShooting Moore
showed no signs of illness last
night, however. as he slashed
Bassey's face into a grotesque.
bloody mask before a throng Of
1929 wildly shouting fans.
Bassey's Cuts Reopened
Dayey started the Nigerian's
downfall in the third round
when he opened q bad cut over
the right eye near the bridge
of the nose. 1t bothered the
Kid considerably. Then, in the
eighth. Moore ripped open a
cut over the left eye.
From then on, BasSey obvi-
ously was hampered. His Sec
onds worked feverishly between
rounds to patch up the cuts
but from the eighth on it took
only a few seconds of the sue
ceeding rounds for Moore's
f1ashy fists to reopen them.

BAUER NOT PART OF PACKAGE
PoscuoI Is Now Kew

| Griffith declared that two
players offered to the Senators

While definite word was lack

Senators will have a choice OF
Pitchers Johnny Kucks (8-s

to be Fritz Brickell, who batted
.266 with Denver last year and
who observes his gath birthday

come from a collection of farm
prospects.
Griffith said several varia-
tons Of deals have been dis
cussed, but 1t was learned that
Pascual, rs, who never has ex-
perienced a winning season in
the majors, is the new object
of the Yankees affections.

Plagued repeatedly by a sore
arm, PaScual has averaged
nearly seven strikeouts per
nine innings over the last three
seasons. He has a superb
curve to blend with a highly
respected swift one, and the
Yankees brass apparently feels
1T can make something Of him.
