Yankee Transfusion May Lift K. C. Athletics Out of Cellar

By JACK RAND

WEST PALM BEACH. Fla. (AP)-The latent transfusion of Yankee blood may be enough to lift Kansas City Athletics out of the American League cellar.

With Tom Morgan. Rip Colo- man. Billy Hunter. Irv Noren. Milt Graft. Bob Cerv and Maury McDermott on the roster. the Athletics now have 12 men who once wore the Yankee or a New York farm club uniform.

Although some called Knnsaa City a "Yankee Farm club" af- ter their most recent deal. man- ager Lou Boudreau bridle: at the auggestion. "All the other club: were approached with the some men (Art Dltmar and Bobby Shanta) but not many clubs can give you as much as the Van- kees." said Boudreau. "even if it turns out to help the champions, it was a good deal because it will help us even more."

"I think we can finish aixth and maybe as high an fifth if aomr body up front atumbles." Bon- dreau hays. "We have a atronul lineup on paper. Now I can make a move at shortstop. outfield or

pitching without hurting myself. IMPROVED PITCHING

"If we get phenomenal years out of four follows we can climb up higher than you think."

Boudroau counts on improved pitching as his most important new aunt. plua depth in infield and outfield. He acknowledges weakness in defence and lack of speed in the outfield.

The Athletics flopped badly last season to finish eighth, 45 game: back-

In addition to the deal with the Yankees. the Athletics obtained Virgil Trucks. Ned Garvcr and Gene Host from Detroit and drafted Eddie Blake from Toronto where he had a 17-11 record.

The Athletics got a tough break when Harry Simpson (.293). the club's top power with 21 homers and 105 runs batted in. pulled a tendon in an ankle recently. He will be out of action until next month and may miss the opener. As Simpson in the only mild left- handed hitting regular. his ab- sence would mean a steady diet of righthanded pitching by the op- position.

ended his ll-year career with the National Hockey League club in a move that was his answer to a public rebuke for the team's fail- ure thla season.

in a two-minute conference with Conn Smythe. president and man- aging director of Maple Leaf Gar- dens. the 56 - year - old Day an- nounced simply that he was "not available" next year.

His action severing all connee tiona with the team terminated a career that started in 1927. and which saw the Maple Leafs win one Stanley cup while he was a delencemen. five when he was coach and one while he was assist- ant manager.

The nbrupt end followed a week of speculation by the public and denial: by Smythe that a major shake-up in the Leafs' organiza- tion was imminent because the team failed to make the NHL play- offs this year.

THOMSON QUITS

Day's move came only a few hours after another longtime Leaf. Jimmy Thomson. this year's cap- thin and secretary of the NHL Players' Association, announc d that he would never again play with the Toronto club. The 30-year- oid defenceman said he would re-

Only eight clays ago in New York. Smythe had publicly re buked Day. coach Howie Meeker and Thomson at a press confer- ence.

He described this season. which ended with Leafs finishing in fifth place. as a "year of failure" and listed his general manager and coach as among the main factors that had influenced the club's for- tunes.

Thomson. a 12-year Leaf vet- eran and one of the founders of the players association. was said by Smythe to have influenced young players on the team "to join an .assoclatlon that has no specific plans to benefit or im- prove hockey."

Ted Lindsay As Cup Hopes

Starter Shoots Self In Hand

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) - It had to happen sometime!

Track Judge Osvaldo Goncalvea was preparng to start a 400 - metre race Sunday. He lined up the trackmen and readied his gun.

Just before he raised his hand. the gun discharged and he shot himself in his left hand.

Goncalvcs went to the hospital and the trackmen were given the go-ahead by another Judge and an-l other gun.

UP TO TWO PLAYERS

"It'll be up to those two fel- lows." general manager Jack Ad- ams said as the Wings set out in quest of their eighth Stanley Cup. "We figure to get that odd goal here and there from the other fel- lows. but Howe and Lindsay are the blue-chip players and they'll come through. We don't have to worry about them."

The statistics back up Adams' thinking. Howe and Lindsay havo 1- scored about 40 per cent of all Detroit goals this season.

But Adams. in hockey practic- ally all his life and connected with the Detroit organization for 30 years. doesn't pick his Wings for the title.

"This is the strangest playoff I can recall." he remarked. "Boa- ton has more hungry players. They're aggressive and they're al- ways digging. Montrenl and De- troit have a solid nucleus. but both are going to need extra effort. New York could surprise. but right now I'd rate it a tossup among Boston. Montreal and our own boys."
