Baltimore And San Francisco Trade Players ST- PETERSBURG, Fla. <UPI) —Baltimore out-slicked San Francisco, the consensus said today, because Pant Richards “always knows what he’s doing any time he gets rid of a pitcher.” The Oriole manager, openly acknowledged as baseball's finest judge of pitchers, peddled two of them — southpaw Billy O'Dell and right-hander Billy Loes — to the Giants Monday night in the first major deal of the inter-league trading period. In return, the Giants gave up outfielder Jackie Brandt, pitcher Gordon Jones and a third player, catcher Roger McCardell, who will be sold to Miami and brought up by the Orioles when they get under the 46-man limit. Never Makes Mistakes Most club officials here at the baseball meetings felt the Orioles wouldn’t have daelt away the 26-year-old O’Dell, a 14-game winner in 1958 and a possible 20-game winner of the future, "unless Richards knew something.” •‘A man like Richards never makes mistakes when it comes to pitchers,” said General Manager Buzzy Bavasi of the Dodgers. “I can never remember him giving a good one away. He just doesn't operate that way.” The Giants weren’t especially worried, though. Needed Pitchers “We hated to leave Brandt go,” conceded Vice-President Chub Feeney. “The Orioles have got themselves an outfielder who can hit, run and throw, but we needed pitching and we think we got two men who will help us tremendously — O’Dell as a starter and Loes in relief.” Both the Orioles and the Gianst insisted they were not through dealing. - : , And some of the other clubs were beginning to warm up. One of the deals said to be on the fire would bring shortstop Chico Fernandez from the Phillies to the Indians. Build Root Steps Os Field Dugouts The roof and steps of the dugouts that are being built at Worthman field are now under construction, Wilbur Petrie, past president of the Booster club in charge of the construction, said today. Vernon Frauhiger has contracted to do the work, which will be paid for ftt>m funds from the now defunct ’ junior Chamber of Commerce' and from the score board fund." The only work remaining will be leveling work, necessary before the can be used next spring. Ji :

Week's Schedule For Adams County Basketball Teams\ Tuesday Geneva at Yellow Jackets. Wednesday Huntington Catholic at Commodores. Friday Berne at Yellow Jackets. Commodores at Adams Central. Monmouth at Pleasant Mills. Bryant at Geneva. Joe Brown Defends Crown Wednesday HOUSTON, Tex. (UPD—Lightweight champion Joe Brown predicted flatly today he would knoc dieted flatly today he would knock out British boilermaker Dave Charrtley in a hurry Wednesday world 185 pound title. The battle, scheduled for 15 rounds, will be the television feature on the weekly Wednesday night fights, and Brown, from Baton Rouge, La., was the 12 to 5 favorite. “I learned something going 15! rounds with < Kenny» Lane,” I Brown said, “and I proved it be- 1 cause other southpaws didn’t go | more than two or three rounds 1 with me since then. I feel like I can take Charnley out in the same distance.” Brown’s prediction that the bout] would end in a hurry bore out the promise of the records of the fighters. Charnley, who has had only 39 fights compared to Brown's 103, has scored 20 knockouts in winning 33 times, and Brown has gained 35 of his 75 ' victories by knockout. i Only Three League Gaines Played Here Three games were played Sunday in the St. Joseph school intramural league, but no games were played Saturday due to the CIC i tourney at Marion, in which the Decatur Commodores participated.

Money War Is Foreseen Over Football Stars PHILADELPHIA (UPD — The National Football League, with two prizes sealed ftr delivery, readied today for the predicted money war with the American Football League for the cream of the 1959 college football crop. The NFL grabbed two of the top-flight eligibles in its draft meeting Monday when the Los Angeles Rams took Billy Cannon, Louisiana State's brilliant triple threat who wsa the No. 1 selection of Houston of the new league, and the Chicago Cardinals snapped up George Izo, the Notre Dame quarterback who was the No. 1 choice of the New York Titans of the American loop. Los Angeles, with Cannon nodding in agreement, said the LSU star had agreed to play with them and the Cardinals announced that Izo was “signed already” seconds after they announced him as their first selection. Cannon Makes Appearance Cannon, looking in on the meeting after a Sunday night television appearance in New York, said he would sign with the Rams after the LSU-Mississippi Sugar Bowl game on wnew Year’s Day. He had registered at another hotel under the name of “Bill Gunn.” Walter Wolfner, managing director of the Cardinals, explained the Izo grab before the order of the draft even was determined by saying “we signed him yesterday — if we didn't get him in the draft, we would have torn up the contract.” The NFL may have won the. first two battles of the financial blitz, but there were plenty of hot skirmishes in the offing following its selection of 240 players in the earliest ever complete selection meeting. The first 12 selected by the older loop, and 21 of the first 24 NFL choices were named by the American League at its Minneapolis rtteeting 10 days ago. How many more similar conflicts exist, each a potential dollar search by the selectees, was strictly a guess. Redskins Pick Lucas In addition to Cannon and Izo, the National League reached out fpr the first choices of two other American teams. Washington took Richie Lucas, Penn State quarterback, the • first selection of Buffalo, and San Francisco took Monty Stickles, the big Notre Danae end and field goal specialist who was named by Los Angeels of the new loop. In other first round NFL choices, Detroit took John Robinson, Louisiana State back, and Green Bay took Tom Moore, Vanderbilt back, both previously chosen by Dallas of the new league. Pittsburgh selected Jack Spike?, Texas Christian back, and the 1 Chicago Bears took Roger Davis, i Syracuse guard, both earlier Den- . ver choices, while Cleveland took John Houston, Ohio State end, and ’ New York took Lou Cordileone, ~ Clemson tackle, who with Lucas were Buffalo choices. t The Philadelphia Eagles took ' Ron Burton, Northwestern back , and Baltimore took Ron Mix, • Southern California tackle, both > previously named by Boston.
