SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. Il
(AP).-Y. A. Title, veteran
quarterback, today was traded
by the San Francisco Forty
Miners to the New York Giants
in exchange for Lineman Lou
Cordileone.
A spokesman for the Forty
Miners said the deal was a
straight player trade-nothing
else was involved.
Title had been with the
Forty-Niners since 1851 and
previously had played three
years with the Baltimore Colts.
Cordileone was the Giants
first draft choice in 1860. He
was a star tackle at Clemson
and was named the most val
liable lineman in the 1859
East-West charity game.
Cordileone plays offensive
guard or tackle, and defensive
tackle or end.
Title will be 35 in October;

the Senators their moneys worth, He put

Der, he hadn't played regularly for some
years, hadn't seen any lefthanded pitch

Danny O'Connell, signed as a free
agent, cost only small fraction of the
$4,000 paid for each draft pick. He turned
out to be one Of the best investments
Quesada feels that Joe McClain who cost
$25,000, is a comparable bargain.
Where" he asked, do you pick up
pitcher as good as McClain for $25,OOO?"
MONEY SUMS ROLL EASILY off Gen.
QueSada'S tongue these days, showing how
quickly he became indoctrinated. He ad-
nitS that when he first entered baseball
he was surprised at the salaries com
manded by some of the athletes.
Il knew the top stars were very we'll

Mantle, Willie Mays and the nov-retired
Ted Williams among others But 1 must
admit that I didn't think some Of the
players who were placed on that December
draft list received so much in salary"
The general resigned as boss of the
Federal Aviation Agency when he formal
ly assumed the duties of president of the
Senators in January. As head of one of
the Governments top-level and important
agencies Quesada drew $22,5O0 a year.
IF you were a ball player on the

Gen. Pete Quesada, president of the

ing out that although many

had moved to the suburbs he
still maintains a residence in

Rozelle, asked in a long
distance telephone interview If
he though Marshall's move was
a subterfuge to get Udall off
his back, said no. Asked If the
league would insist that the
Redskins draft a Negro, Rozelle
replied; The league is not
going to insist on anything;
Rozelle said the racial prob
lem was difficult and that it
had grown to such proportions
that Marshall suggested the
league office clarity his position.
Rozelle said his recent meet
ing with Udall was not arranged
by Pierre Salinger, the Presi-
dents press secretary and Ro,
zelle'S close friend. He said
Udall had four or five assist
ants with him at the meetingi
but that he could not say
whether all we're lawyers.

said the Redskins hoped to
sign such stars as Ernie Davis
of Syracuse and Larry Fergu-
son of Iowa at the next selec-
tion meeting.
Marshall said his scouting
reports on Davis and Ferguson
are such that he intended to
select them in the draft next
winter if they are available.
He also said he had three
other players in mind-Felton
