Front row left to right DEALS ARE INMAKING 1 By JOE REICHLER CHICAGO, Dec. 13. The ma- jor league meeting, as silent as a graveyard up to now, wi expected | to come to life today with the New York Yankees providing most of {the action. i | General Manager George Weiss the New Yorkers, easily the busiest individual in the trade mart, and consequently the hardest to ap- proach, is currently undertaking an ren man rcle of dealipg simultane- y with three cluts for three d.f- ferent players. All may be consummated before the sessions come to an official close | | Wednesday. The “hottest” of the three involves Fred Sanford, strong- armed pitcher of the St. Louis Browns. The others involve the Washington Senators and the c‘u-‘ ago White Sox SANFORD IN TRADE Although Weiss stoutly refused to liscuss his business with newspaper- | | men, it was lear: from a respon- | sible source that Sanfore who | won 12 and lost 21 for the Browns | last season, is the man George is afte. Bill DeWitt, vice-president of the Browns, is willing to part with n’s 200-pound right hander, and has | ‘demanded two second line Yankee 'hurlers and Sherm Lollar, a catcher, | in addition to the tidy sum of $59,- 000. Weiss also has been negotiat- | ing for Mickey Vernon, slender first | baseman of the Washington Sena-| tors. YANKS AFTER VERNON Calvin Griffith, vice-pres'dent of the Senators, admitted that the Yankees have made an offer for Vernon but declined to name the; Yankee players involved. H The impending deal between the Yankees and White Sox is of lesser | l:mr-sn:mce than the others. The Sox are anxious to acquire frst bas man Steve Souchock and probably | wi'l get the substitute Yankee first | |Laseman in exchange for a young hurler. Official business began today. The American and Nationa’ Leagues held separate mestin: Chief topics of d’scussions were night tall, the kon-! us rule and television. The minors voted to bar all radio and televizion networks.
