Chicago Cubs, Reds Trade Outfielders s-.w Vwk. June IB—(l-r)-The Major League trading season was, officially closed today shortly after > the Reds and the Cubs swapped four outfielders in the season's big gest deal wnlch highlighted a scatterißg. of last-minute uniform switches. From now until October, teams will have to sink or swim with the players they've got on hand, rookies they call up from the minors, or 'castoffs called from the waiver list. But several teams re-arranged their personnel in time to beat the deadline at midnight last night. The Reds gave Hank Sauer and Frank Baumholtz to the Cubs for Harry (The Hat) Walker, former i National League batting champion i with a mark of .363 in 1947, and Harry (Peanuts) Lowrey. AU four men are 30 years old. "Walker and Lowrey may he the does to pull us out of our slump."! said an official of the sixth-place ’ reds. "I think well get started again. Our pitching is too good for. us to be down long.” Walker, who rarely hits anything bigger than a single, has a current batting mark of .281. highest In the group of four. Ixvwrey is hit-1 ting .277, Baumholtz, .216, and :Hauer 243 Hauer's younger brother. Ed. figured In two rapid fire deals Involvjng the St. Louis Cardinals. Pitts-, burgh Pirates, and Boston Braves First the Cards sold Sauer, a : right handed hitting outfielder with t a mark of .222. to the Pirates forj an undisclosed amount of money: and a player to be selected later. But th»‘ younger Sauer never was! more than a Pirate on paper. The. Dues Immediately turned around and sent him with another undisclosed amount of cash to the Braves for veteran catcher Phil Masi The Braves < leared the way for I selling Masi, a .210 hitter but polI ished receiver, when they obtained I catcher Mickey Livingston for the 810.000 waiver price from the (Hants early this week. The Pirates shuffled infielder Bobby Rhawn off to the Chicago : White Sox for the waiver price of 110.000. The chain reaction conI tinued as the Sox made room for Rhawn by optioning out outfielder I Jerry Scala to Indianapolis It was the second time within a week that I Scala had been farmed out. Last week the Sox optioned Scala to Oakland of the Pacific coast league, just a few days before his home town folks of Bayonne, N. J were to give him a new car at Yankee Stadium. Scaia balked at going to Oakland and outfielder Earl Rapp was sent to Oakland in I his place Scala didn't get the car. though, land this time it looks like he'll go to the farm.

In addition to getting Masi, the Pirates, also added rookie Earl Turner to their catching staff, re calling l.im from Indianapolis where he had beun optioned at the start of the season His recall war forced by injuries to regular re ceivers Clyde McCullough and Ed Fitzgerald. In a move that had nothing to d<> with the trading deadline, the Cards signed infielder iaiu Klein for a reported salary of 88.500. the same that he was getting when he Jumped to the Mexican league In 1946. Klein, reinstated recently from his suspensions, is exempt from the 25-man player limit for 30 days He had been playing semi pro ball in Canada V*r«B«|4» In n Gimml Tnwa — Drrntnr
