_Phillies‘ Ready To Quit Cellar 0i Hatiohal League

By JACK rnsason _

PHILADELPHIA. Jan. 8-(AP)-- Housing shortages notwithstand- ing, Philadelphia Phillles are ready to tear up their long-term lease on the National Lbngues cellar,

General Manager Herb Pennock "Y! they're Ill nae ed up, ready to leave the musty c nflnes of No. 8, last ‘place.

hen Pennock took over the Phil front office. he announced that “we now have the money. if anybody Wants to sell." So far. nobody, not even Sam Brendon of St. Louis Cardinals, seems to have taken him Loo seriously.

Pennock, who had declared "we'll to nnybody's offer," was disap- po nted by the Cards‘ sale of cat- cher Walker Cooper to New York Giants for $175,000 lest week.

Pennuck also has been disap- pointed ln his attempts to get shortstop Marty Marion away from the Cards. However. he says he didn't feel too badly when the Red Birds traded infielder Jimmy Brown to Pittsburgh. He explain- ed he felt Jim has been around too long to do the Phlls good. Cincinnati ls (he only National League club expressing a willing- ness to do business with the Phlls so far. The Reds parted with Frank McCormick, veteran first baseman. who Pennock feels will give a lot of balance to the Phils‘ young lnflelders.

Other hot stove league deals hpve brought the Phlilies outfield- er Lou Novikoff from Los Angels-s; inflelders "Skeeter" Newsome from Boston; Johnny O'Neill fromPori- land, where he hit .311 last year, and Ken Richardson from IHolIy- wood. Pltchers_ Buck Ross and Johnny Humphrres _were acquired from Chicago White Sox, and Charley Ripple will be 11D [Tum Utics, where he won 17 and lost 5.

Clack Hawks ;Ready To Swap ‘Bang For Byng

(By The Associated Press)

CHICAGO. Jan. 8—The high- zoomingChlL-ago Black Hawks are mad enough to swap bang for Byng ln the National Hockey Lea- gue race and they blame it on the lowly New York Rangers and their “football on ice" tactics.

The Hawks, currently tied for first place with Montreal Canad- iens, have had players in the Byng Trophy-for gentlemanly efficien- cy-the three last seasons and,iro- nicslly, the last who won it now is benched from a flying tackle by a Ranger-or so claims man- ager Johnny Gottselig.

Gottsellg said today the club

had been informed by league pres- ident Mervyn (Red) Dutton that he would investigate the injury of Hawk forward Bill Mosienko n- gainstw the Rangers at New York er. . The Hawks ‘claim Mosienko bad his knee ligaments ripped when defenceman Bill Moe of the Rang- ers took an illegal low dive at the Chicagoan on a body check. Mos- lenko will be out of the lineup at least a month. Gottsellg said.

“If that stuff doesn't stop," as- serted Gotlsrlig, "we can play rough, too.‘ We'll turn some of our big boys loose and let me tell you that our Johnny Morlucci (former Minnesota football player) can dress up anybody in this lea- gue—-but good."

In New York. Ranger conch Frank Bouchor said it was "child- ish for (he Hawks to be crying be- cause they were hit ir and square. Bill stopped Moslenkc with a fair bodycheck and body- rhgcking is part of a defencemsms o .

“If hockey players can't lake a body check they shouldn't be in the game."
