Three Major league Teams Swap Players Cleveland, Apr, 30 — (UP) — Lqu Brissie was traded >to Cleveland today and Gus Zernial went th the Philadelphia Athletics in the year’s biggest baseball deal ■which involved three clubs jand a total of seven players. In the transaction: The Athletics received outfielders Zernial and Dave Philley from the Chicago White Sox and pitcher Sam Zoklak and catcher Ray Murray from Cleveland. The Chicago White, Sox acquired infielder outfielder Orest os Minosp from Cleveland and outfielder Paul Leftner'Tro’fh the Athletic?. —Cleveland obtained piLch’fer* Brissie from the Athletics. 1 Np cash reportedly changed hands in the triangular deal. Brissie, a huge “Hard, luck” lefthander but could compile only a lackluster seven-aiid-19 record last [season, was the “plum” in the proceedings.' .61evelah'd manager Al Lopez ?ahl he planned to use Brissie both as a starter and relief pitcher, the same assignment he filled with the eighth-place A',s. 26-year-old six-foot-four inch southpaw already has been charged with two defeats this season. / Philadelphia, which actually received four players in exchange for Brissie, probably will employ Zernial and Philley as regular outfielders. Zernial, a 25-yea’r-old long-distance hitter, batted .280 for the "White Sox last season, wallopihg 29 homers and driving in 93 riins. Philley, 29-year-old switch-hit-ting speedster, hit only .242 for; Chicago last season but slammed 14 homers and drove in 80 teamrnhtes. 1 In acquiring k zbldak, Philadelphia landed a 28-year-old southpaw who began hisS big league career with the r St. Louis Browns in 1944. Traded by the Browns to the Indians on June. 15, 1948, the Brooklyn-born lefthander helped Cleveland to a pennant that year with 11 -triumphs. He won fotir and lost two last season, being used chiefly in relief. Murray,' a strapping, 30-yegr-old catcher,j came to- Cleveland as a rookie la?t spring and batted 273 in 55 games.
