Major League Leaders Talk Player Trades Miami, Fla., Dec. 2 —(UP) — Bibwigs of the big leagues wound up with bunions and sore throats today in lieu of the ball players they spent long hours trying to ae quire. There was much standing around in the hotel lobbies, much conversation into the smaller hours of the night — and nothing else. Everybody, including the world champion New York Yankees, was looking for talent. No one could find it, not even from the quickselling St. Louis Browns. The Yankees wanted a pitcher and. though manager Bucky Harris ■was quick to deny that a deal was in the offing with the Washington Senators, the reports persisted that pitcher Walt Masterson, who wears rose-colored glasses, would have a genuinely rosy future by winding up with the Yankees. In turn, so it was stated in the “authoritative reports” department, the Yankees would be willing to give up one of their spare infielders. Cincinnati's general manager, Warren Giles, who has had friendly relations in the past with the New York Giants, said that his club would give up a pitcher if the Giants could come across with the ‘‘right outfielder.” Giant manager, Mel Ott, who has been looking for a winning hurler to go with his terrific array of sluggers since early last season, said that he was “still looking.” Although neither would comment on personalities, it was generally supposed that any deal between the Giants and Reds would involve Cincinnati pitcher Johnny Vander Meer, still a reliablwe chores-raan despite his many years of throwing, and Giant utility outfielder Lloyd Gearhart. The Brooklyn Dodger entourage was delayed in arriving from an inspection of its 1948 spring training facilities in Ciudad Trujillo, D. R.. because of engine trouble in the special plane whicjh carried writers and club officials. However, they were expected to arrive today from port Au Prince, Haiti, where the plane was forced down yesterday. It was believed that boss Branch Rickey would attempt to close another deal with the Pittsburgh Pirates after his staff arrives

(i Dixie Walker, the Dodger “instr s tution” in right field was believed 1 slated to go in this transaction - since because of his age, he no longer fits into the Brooklyn “youth movement" as a player. s Moreover. Walker reportedly was s offered the post as manager of the 1 Dodger farm in St. Paul but was t said to have turned it down because s he still figures he has another year i of playing usefulness. If Walker goes to Pittsburgh, the Dodgers are expected to get outfielder Johnny Hopp,, shortstop ’ Billy Cox and perhaps one or two other players. The Pirates also are interested in several of the Dodger . pitchers, but it is doubtful if they talk Rickey out of any of them. In fact, despite the conversation ' which never lets up, it seemed ‘ doubtful if anybody would be able to talk anybody else out of anything. o Hannegan Says Dyer To Stay As Manager Miami, Fla., Dec. 2 — (UP) — Bob Hannegan, newest member of the baseball high command, said today that Eddie Dyer “definitely will remain manager” of the St. Louis Cardinals for another season. The former postmaster general, here for the national minor league meeting, said he “contemplated no changes” in the vast Cardinal system at present.
