Dodgers Furious as Snider
Is IdIed by Broken Elbow

LOS ANGELES, April 10
(AP) .-s-Duke Snider will be
out for a month with the first
broken bone of his career, and
the Dodgers are Indignantly
suggesting it might not have
been an accident that dis
abled him.
Snider suffered a cracked
bone above his right elbow
Monday night when he was
hit by a pitch from Bob Glib
son, st. Louis highlander
just two innings after Snider
tagged Gibson for a two-run
homer.
Gibson denied any intent to
hurt the veteran outfielder.
But Buzzie Bavasi, Dodger
general manager, said in a
telegram to National League
President Warren Giles:
For your information,
Snider was hit with the first
pitch thrown to him after he
hit a home run. 1t looks as
though the bean-ball rule is
only working against Dodger
pitchers"
Dodger righthander Stan
Williams had just Sbeen fined
$50 for throwing pitch that
sailed over the head of Pitts
burgh Second Baseman Bill
Mazeroski last Sunday.
Gibson Says He's Sorry
Gibson said Snider knocked
an outside pitch over the left
field screen in the third inning,
so he decided to pitch him in
side the next time he came up.
There may be a couple Of
guys in this game who try to
hurt people," Gibson said, but
I'm not one of them. Naturally,
I'm sorry, but nothing can
say now will help fix him up
again."

protest.

CHICAGO, April 19.-Trade
talks got under way today
between General Manager Ed
Doherty of the Senators and
Al Lopez, field manager Of the
White Sox.
Nothing may come Of it, but
both Doherty and Lopez ex-
pressed hope that a deal to
strengthen both clubs could
be conSumated.
The two teams were expected
to launch the White Sox home
season in Comiskey Park today.
Postponed from yesterday be-
cause of the effects of a snow
storm. the game had every
chance to go on today. A
bright sun removed practically
all Of the snow yesterday and
temperatures were expected to
get up into the COS today.
Talk Again Tonight
'Doherty and Lopez talked
briefly and informally yester-
day. HE said he could use
a righthanded hitting out
fielder" Lopez reported, "but
I haven't got one to give him.
We want a relief pitcher. We
have about seven starters, but
we need relief men.
"I hope we can sit down with
each other tonight and work
out something"
Doherty said he wants hit
terS. That's what we need
now. I'd like to land a left
handed hitting catcher or right
handed hitting oufielder or
anybody who can hit the hall
real good. I'll tell you one
thing: I want to make a deal
as much as anybody if it helps
the club. But I'm not going
to be. like Frank Lane and make
deals just to get my name in
the paper"
Lopez pointed out that he
has a lefthanded hitting catcher
who might be available in Joe
Ginsberg, but Ginsberg is "a
and carries a lifetime batting
average in the major leagues
of .242. The Senators have
three righthanded hitting
catchers in Pete Daley, Dutch
Dotterer and Gene Green.
Need Bench Strength
In addition to relief pitching,
the White Sox also could use
bench batting strength. 1t is
no secret that the Senators
Dale Long and Gene Wood
ling are coveted by a number
'Iof clubs for that purpose.
The Yankees voiced their in
terest during the exhibition
season and they aren't through
trying. Roy Hamey still is
interested" Doherty said OF
the Yankee general manager
today. I'm going to be talk
ing to him too"
At this point, pitching is
Washington'S strong point. The
Senators have IS pitchers on
the staff. Three starters-Dick
Donovan, Bennie Daniels and
Joe McClain-and two re-
lievers-Rudy Hernandez and
Dave SiSler, have seen action
and all have been impressive
The other two starters, Ed Ho-
baugh and Hal Woodeshick
are scheduled to pitch here
Hobaugh today against Billy
Pierce and Woodeshick tomor-
row against Early Wynn.
The Senators were l-3 as
they came here, but they could
have won any of the three
games they lost.
