Sudden Boom In Major League Trading Mart WASHINGTON (UPI) — There was a sudden boom in baseball’s trading market today wit' the Pirates and Dodgers huddlhg over a prospective Frank ThomasJohnny Podres deal and the Giants making a strong bid for second baseman Don Blasingame of the Cardinals. All the trade talk wasn’t confined to these four clubs, however. Here are some of the other deals being bandied about in the corridors and hotel lobbies of this smoke-filled major and minor league convention: -The White Sox are offering Billy Goodman and Bubba Phillips around for “a first class relief pitcher.” —The Yankees have renewed their efforts to get either Pedro Ramos or Dick Hyde from the Senators. —Boston is after Vic Wertz; Cleveland is listening but insists upon Jim Piersail in return. —Gabe Paul of the Redlegs says “we’ll trade anyone but everybody keeps asking about Johnny Temple and he comes very high.” —The Phillies have offered the Dodgers a list to choose from that includes Willie Jones in return for rookie second baseman George ( Sparky ) Anderson. Thomas Deal Hottest The hottest deal at the moment, however, appears to be the one involving Thomas and Podres Pittsburgh long has been after a standout lefthanded pitcher — and the one who appeals to the Pirates most is Podres, who had’ a 13-15 record . with the seventhplace Dodgers this year. The Pirates believe a southpaw like Podres would give them a pennant-winning pitching staff along with 22-game winner Bob Friend. Ronnie Kline, Vern Law,

George Witt and Curt , Raydon. Pittsburgh feels it can sacrifice some power and would be willing to let Thomas go. Thomas, a right-handed swinger who hit 35 homers and drove in 109 runs while hitting .281, would be right at home with the short left field screen in the Los Angeles Coliseum. Spurned in their efforts to ob-

tain Temple from Cincinnati, the Giants have turned toward St. Louis in the hope of landing Blasingame, who hit .274 and played brilliantly afield. The ~Giahts are dangling shortstop Daryl Spencer and first baseman Bill White at the Cards. Al Lopez of the White Sox says simply, “I’ve got to have a relief pitcher,” and he’ll give up Goodman or Phillips and perhaps even both to get the man he wants. He had his eye on Don Moss!’ and Ray Narleski but that was before Cleveland dealt them to Detroit. Nats Want Howard Cookie Lavagetto, Washington's skipper, says the Yanks can forget about Ramos or Hyde unless they are willing to talk about Elston Howard. That doesn’t sit so well with Casey Stengel, but the Yanks are still trying. Frank Lane of the Indians has been busy outlining a new draft proposal so he hasn’t had too much time to talk trade. But he’ll take Piersall from the Red Sox if they keep wanting Wertz so badly. Milwaukee persists in its efforts to get Temple as a replacement for hospitalized Red Schoendienst, but Birdie Tebbetts will have to come up with more than he’s offered so far to get his former employe in a Braves’ uniform. Manager Eddie Sawyer of the last-place Phillies blandly owns up, “we’re looking for everything. I’ve talked to everyone, but so far no dice.” The Phillies are hot after young Anderson, who hit .278 at Montreal last season and supposedly “does everything well.” The list of availables Philadelphia offered the Dodgers for Anderson included Stan Lopata and Jack Meyer as well as Jones. The Dodgers are in no hurry to get rid of Anderson, however.

Pro Foolball League Drafts College Stars PHILADELPHIA (UPI) — National Football League owners, after giving Commissioner Bert Bell a vote of confidence, today set about the business of signing their first draft choices for the 1959 season. ( Bell, aroused by what he termed the “internal bickerings—squawkings and squabblings by coaches and owners” skid Monday the league could have back his contract unless he was given a free hand to run it. “I don’t want to be a czar,” Bell told the owners in an executive meeting after the four rounds of college selections were completed. “But if I can’t have a free hand to run ft (the league)—you run it.” "I would prefer to run things by persuasion, as I have the past 13 years. If it doesn’t work that way, I will have to run this by the book, and if I can’t run the league the way the books say, I will give up my contract,” Bell said. Bell, commissioner since 1946, noted that there have been "some remarks, including that I am a stooge for some of the owners. Hiere have been some squawks against decisions I made.” Given Confidence Vote Bell, in his criticism of the bickerings, said of the league that “I couldn't run it any other way— I couldn’t change. Now if I can’t go along as I have, I’m ready to step out.” However, the owners, who rewarded Bell with a 12-year contract in 1954 at a $40,000 annual salary plus a SIO,OOO yearly pension, met immediately afterward and gave the commissioner a vote of confidence. The executive meeting, during which owners discussed financial problems of “four or five teams” despite an impending 3 million record paid attendance this year, came after the owners selected 48 players from among the top flight college stars eligible for the draft. The Los Angeles Rams reaped the biggest harvest—nine choices — the result of their swapping players for the draft rights of other teams during the off-season. Detroit picked up seven through the same system, while Cleveland and San Francisco each came up with five. Pittsburgh didn't have a .choice because its first seven picks already were traded away. The biggest catch in the Rams' net was Dick Bass of the College of the Pacific, the nation’s leading rusher, who was grabbed when they exercised the Philadelphia Eagles' first draft right as part of the deal which brought Norm Van Brocklin to the Eagles. The Green Bay Packers, with only one victory to their credit this year, had first crack at the entire heap and took Randy Duncan, the All-America 'quarterback of the Rose Bowl bound lowa Hawkeyes, champions of the Big Ten. Green Bay also took towering Boyd Dowler of Colorado, a 6-5 quarterback who can kick, carry, pass, block and run the 100 yards under 10 seconds in a track suit in a later choice. The Rams, in addition to Bass, took Paul Dickson, Baylor tackle, in the first round. The Chicago Cardinals took quarterback Bill Stacy of Mississippi State while Washington took Don Allard, great passer of Boston College. San Francisco went for Dave Baker, defensive back of Oklahoma, and Detroit took Notre Dame fullback Nick Pietrosante as first choices. The Forty-Niners, exercising Pittsburgh’s choice, took center Dan James of Ohio State. Quarterback Lee Grosscup of Utah, the nation’s leading passer in 1957, went to the New York Giants while Cleveland took end Rich Kreitling of Illinois and Baltimore took lineback Jackie Burkett of Auburn. Weeb Ewbank To Coach Western Pro Stars LOS ANGELES <UPJ) — Weeb Ewbank. coach of the Western Division champion Baltimore Colts, has been named coach of the Western representative for the ninth annual All-Star National Football League pro bowl game, Jan. 11.

Seven Former Major League Players Taken WASHINGTON (UPI) — Seven former major leaguers, including up-and-down first baseman Rocky Nelson, today were given another chance to make good in the big show as the result of the majors’ annual draft. Nelson, the International League triple crown winner at Toronto, earned his sixth major league chance when he was drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates as one of 11 minor leaguers for whom nine major league clubs shelled out a total of $300,000. Also headed back for another try are such familiar figures as second baseman Wayne (Twig) Terwilliger, a veteran of four ma- , jor league clubs; infielder Johnny ; O’Brien, formerly with the Pirates , and Cardinals; pitcher Art Ceccarelli; outfielder Jim Pisoni; out-fielder-infielder Lou Skzas, and outfielder Joe Durham. | Meantime, the majors moved ■ to assure firm working agreements with the eight teams in the ■ prospective new Texas League, temporarily reduced to five clubs Monday when three of its mainstays — Dallas, Houston and Fort Worth—joined the Triple-A American Association. The big shift expanded the association to 10 clubs. Expect No Trouble The only formality remaining for the shift to become final was for the majors to assure working agreements with whatever eight teams make up the Double-A Texas loop next year. No trouble was expected. Baseball coordinator William O. Dewitt has been working closely with the interleague shift which will let the Triple-A association tap the heav-ily-populated Houston and DallasFort Worth customer markets. In the annual draft, the Kansas City athletics picked up the 32-year-old Terwilliger from Charleston, W. Va., of the American Association. The Chicago Cubs claimed southpaw Ceccarelli, formerly with Baltimore, from Vancouver. Skizas went quickly from the Detroit Tiger roster to the Chicago White Sox when the Tigers assigned him to Charleston to make room for another draft choice. Earlier, another “trading On the floor” deal sent outfielder Earl Hersh from the Milwaukee Braves roster to the Tigers when Milwaukee consigned Hersh to Wichita to make room for draftee Pisoni. Detroit promptly claimed him. Claim Two Players Pisoni, up formerly with the Baltimore Orioles and the Athletics, batted .313 for Richmond in the International League. The White Sox and Cleveland Indians were the only clubs claiming two players each at the new $25,000-a-head price. Besides Skizas. the Chisox chose righthanded pitcher Claude Raymond from Wichita, where he was 3-6. Cleveland, with Frank (Trader) Lane at the helm, picked off outfielder Dale Bennetch from Buffalo. He hit .282 for Williamsport in the Class A Eastern* League. The Indians also claimed shortstop Ray Webster, a .246 hitter at Sacramento in the Pacific Coast League. In the other draft action, the St. Louis Cardinals picked up southpaw pitcher Dick Luebke, who was 11-7 with San Antonio in the Texas League, and Durham, former Baltimore player who hit .285 at Vancouver last season.

Indiana Wins Season Opener, Purdue Loses United Press International Indiana’s Hoosiers, defending champs of the Big Ten, opened their 1958-59 season Monday night With a 68-59 triumph over Drake in a pre-conference basketball warmup. The ,Hoosiers’ victory highlighted a 9-game card for Indiana college teams in ttieit biggest night of the infant season. Led by Frank Radovich, former Hammond high school star, who gathered 16 points, Indiana gave Coach Branch McCracken a win as he opened his 18th season at the helm of the Hoosiers. The other Indiana Big Ten team, Purdue, wasn’t £O fortunate. The Boilermakdra took a 96-81 licking from highly-regarded Kansas State, largely because of the deadly accuracy of a lad named Bob Boozer who, as state’s center, hit 11 field goals and 23 of 26 free throw tries sor 1 a 45point school record scoring spree. Oscar Garners 41 In other games, Indiana State was clobbered by Cincinnati, 93-64, with former Indianapolis Attacks star Oscar Robertson hitting 41 points for the winners; Evansville’s Aces fell in double overtime t o New Mexico A&M, 91-85; and Valparaiso edged Hope of Michigan, 90-86 in overtime. DePauw was beaten badly by Wheaton of Illinois, 88-50. Northern Illinois subdued Wabash, 68-61. Albion of Michigan tripped Tri-State, 71-55. and Marshall of West Virginia tagged St. Joseph’s, 84-75. All in all, it was a bad night for Indiana teams, all nine of whom played against out-of-state foes, with only Indiana and Valparaiso chalking up victories. Indiana started slowly against Drake and led only 36-33 at the half. Then the Hoosiers pulled away after intermission. Besides Radovich, Hoosier offensive leaders included Herby Lee with 12, 6-10 center Walt Bellamy With 12 and Gene Flowers with 10. Bob Tealer’s 27 for Drake was the best performance of the evening. Purdue Loses At Stripe Purdue trailed Kansas State, 42-39 at the half but went ahead in the second half until Boozer started a stretch drive. Kansas State hit on 42 of 56 free throw tties for the margin of victory, for Purdue' outscored the Wildcats from the field 31-27. Robertson hit a neat .500 from the field for 14 goals in 28 tries against Indiana State. Evansville lost to New Mexico despite a 13-4 lead piled up early in the contest. The visitors led 47-43 over the Indiana Collegiate Conference defending champs. At the end of regulation time, it was 73-73, and after the first overtime 79-79. New Mexico center Bill Price got 32 points, and Evansville guard Hugh Ahiring scored 24. Valparaiso’s overtime win came at the expense of the defending

Marshall To Coach Cincinnati Royals NEW YORK (UPD—The Cincinnati Royals will be led by the youngest player-coach in the history of the National Basketball Association when they play the St. Louis Hawks tonight in the opener of a Madison Square Garden doubleheader. The New York Knickerbockers will entertain the Boston Celtics in the feature. Tom Marshall, only 27 years old, replaced Bobby Wanzer as the Royals’ , coach Monday because of “differences of opinion’’ in the team’s front office. ( “Wanzer could not see eye-to-eye with management on a number of things and we feel this will be the best thing for all concerned,” General Manager Pepper Wilson said in announcing the change. The Royals won only 3 of their first 18 games under the direction of Wanzer, a former Seton Hall star who took over the team’s coaching reins three years ago. The club was hurt this season by the absence of its star rebounder, Maurice Stokes, who was stricken by encephalitis last spring and is still bedridden. Teams Are Selected For Blue Grass Bowl LOUISVILLE, Ky. (UPD —Oklahoma State and Florida State, two teams with identical records but widely varying backgrounds, were matched today to meet in the first Blue Grass Bowl football game here Dec. 13.
