Cubs Indicate
Deal Is Near

CHICAGO. May IL CAP).-
The Cubs were hot and cold
today-hot on the trail of a
deal to aid their pitching staff
and cold after six straight
weather-poStponed games.
Vice President John Holland
and Manager Lou Boudreau
disclosed that they are near a
trade which would add a de-
pendable starter to the Cubs
nine moundSmen.
Holland and Boudreau have
been dickering with the Phil
lies, Cardinals, Giants and
Reds. Although Holland con-
ferred with the Reds Gabe Paul
and the Cardinals Bing Devine
yesterday. the Phillies appeared
to be the "hot" prospects. The
Phils repeatedly were dickering
for inf1eld and catching help.
Even though the Chicagoans
have been feverishly trying to
trade, Wrigley Field has had
an autumnal chill for the last
week.
Yesterdays "freezeout" of the
second scheduled game with
Cincinnati was the sixt h
straight postponement - just
three short of the National
League record. The most con-
secutive postponements in the
American League is seven.

Simmons Hits
End of Road
With PhiIIies
Lawrence, Witt
Sent to Minors in
MI Player Cuts
By the Associated Press

Pitcher Curt Simmons came
to the end of an era and two
other well-known hurlers were
sent to the minors as National
League clubs got down to the
25-player limit at midnight.
The Phillies handed an out
right release to Simmons, the
tough-luck southpaw who
broke into the majors in 1947
as an 18-year-old bonus baby.
In other moves, the Reds op-
toned Brooks Lawrence, their
one-time workhorse, to In
dianapolis and Pittsburgh sent
George Witt to Salt Lake City.
Witt won seven straight as a
rookie in 1858 but hasn't won
since.
The Dodgers and Cardinals
got down to the limit ahead
of time. The Phillies also sent
Pitcher Chris Short to Buffalo
and the Pirates optioned Out
fielder Joe Christopher to Salt
Lake City and Outf1elder Ray
Mejias to Columbus of the In
ternational League.
The other deadline action:

line-which comes a month
after opening day-is next
Wednesday.
Simmons, who was signed for
$65.000 out of high school in
his hometown of Egypt, Pa,
had been unimpressive the few
times he worked this year. He
pitched four innings in four
games, two of which he started,
and gave up a total of 13 hits
and 8 runs for an 1900 earned
run average.
General Manager John Quinn
said it was decided to give the
31-year-old Simmons an op-
portunity to make a deal for
himself. Last Saturday Sim
mons had asked to be traded
rather than warm the bench
with the Phillies, who are re-
building.

Griffs Rained Out; Cookie
To Bench Dobbek> Mincher
Ramos Suffers
AS ScoreIess
Innings Hit 70
BY BURTON HAWKINS
Star Stan Writer


The Senators got a break in
their streak of futility when
this afternoons series windup
with Detroit was postponed be-
cause of rain, but Manager
Cookie Lavagetto is convinced
his slumping crew needs more
than a day of rest.
With the Yankees moving in
tomorrow night for the opener
of a weekend series, Cookie
made plans to juggle his line
up. He has to do something to
help his pitchers, who have
been betrayed by lack of hit
ting support.
The Senators slipped to sew
enth place and saw their string
of scoreleSs innings extended
to 20 last night as they took
their second straight 10 loss
to Detroit. A homer by AL Ka-
line with two out in the 11th
inning pinned a fourth defeat
on winless, snake bitten Pedro
Ramos, who hurled a five
hitter.
For the Yankee series. Law
agetto plans to bench two Of
his highly regarded rockies,
Centerflelder Dan DobbeK and
First Baseman Don Mincher.
Jim Kaat will draw the pitching
assignment tomorrow against
Whitley Ford.
Throneberry, Becquer Start
Bob Allison will shift from
rightfield to center and Faye
Throneberry will take over in
right. Julio Becquer will play
first.
Dobbek, who went 0-for-5
last night, has failed to get the
ball past the infleld in his last
II tries and has seen his aver
age drop to .2l8. Mincher has
plummeted to 1886, the break
ing point of Lavagetto's pa
tience.
Tuesday night the Senators
became 10 victims of Don
Mossi's three-hitter when Rocky
Colavito crashed a home run
off Truman Clevenger with
two out in the ninth. Last night
Ramos owned a four-hit shut
out with two down in the 18th,
but Kaline slammed his third
homer into the left-centerfield
bleachers.
Larry Stops Threats
The Senators stirred up five
hits, all singles, of Frank Larry,
who notched his second win to
go with two losses. They had
two scoring opportunities and
blew them. Ramos singled and
scampered to third on Billy
Gardner's single with one out
in the Sixth, but Dobbek hit
into a double play.
The only other occasion when
the Senators got a runner past
first base was in the eighth,
after Reno Bertoia started with
a single. Billy Console sacri-
feed, but Ramos grounded out
and Gardner flied to Colavito
in right.
Ramos previously lost to
Baltimore and Cleveland by
80 scores and to Chicago, 80.

Mrs. Eisenhower, who lived
there when the President was
Army Chief of Staff from
1945 to 1948. is credited with
one of the most pleasing
changeS-one that gives the
house an unusual view of
Washington.
The present First Lady was
influential in having some
nearby brush and clutter
cleared. With the obstruction
removed, the big windows of
the living room now provide
a view Of the White House,
the Washington Monument,
the Capitol, the Library of

are encompassed in a single
