And he will add to our Tevenue.” 2 | Killebrew's early season home barrage was a big factor in attendance at Griffith Sta- dium almost 30 per cent.

San Francisco Giants have established themselves as the winter favor- ites for the 1960 pennants as a result of strengthening deals dur- ing the last three weeks. Astute baseball observers be lieve the White Sox, through their transactions with Cleveland and Philadelphia, and the Giants, in trades with Baltimore and St. Louis, gained the most from the 14 deals consummated since Nov. 21 when the three-week inter- league trading period went into effect. Eight of those deals were between the two leagues. Interleague trading ended at midnight Tuesday night, but} trades between clubs in the same league are permitted until next! June 15. The ‘Giants, having already i | strengthened their pitching staff immeasurably by acquiring south-| paw Billy O'Dell and right hander} Billy Loes from Baltimore two) weeks ago, pulled off-a second | major deal Tuesday, getting sec-) ond baseman Don Blasingame from the Cardinals for infielder | Daryl. Spencer and outfielder Leon Wagner. NEED SECOND BASEMAN Only three clubs—Milwaukee, | Los Angeles and Washington—| failed to\take part in the trading bee. The Braves still are seeking, a@ second baseman. They were) stymied in attempts to land either | Gil McDougald of the Yankees, Frank Bolling of the Tigers or Billy Martin of the Indians. A multiple deal between the year-old housewife from: nearby Pelham was the first winner, and one of the few so far that have picked all six winners. Then there was the night that the lady from Lowell, with four children, took home $7,714. A young couple from Andover and Lawrence, Mass., who decided to have a night at the races in celebration of their marriage, picked five winners, which was good enough to give them a wedding present of $8,723. And so the stores go, night after night. “Is there any wonder that har- mess racing is booming at Rock- ingham Park? Not even in the hey-day—of—-old--Grantie State Park, when Bingen 2.06% and! other kings and queens’ of a now almost-forgotten era, spread the fame of Dover's mile oval near and far, have as many persons’ become as horse conscious in this! neck of the woods, as is the case! now.” > - / Che Guardian, Charlottetown, Wed., Dee. 16, 1959. 9 Dodgers and Senators involving Washington's Roy Sievers and Los Angeles’ Don Zimmer fell through. The Senators revealed Tuesday they turned down a $500,000 offer for Harmon Kille- brew from an unnamed Mational League team. The White Sox filled two gaping holes and added much needed power by acquiring left fielder Minnie Minoso from the Indians and third baseman Gene Freese from the Phillies. Minoso hit 21 home runs and drove in 92 runs while Freese had 24 homers and 70 FBI. They had to give up Johnny Callison, a highly re- garded young slugger, to get Freese, and sent three players to the Indians for Minoso, catcher Dick Brown and pitchers Don Ferrarese and Jake Striker. KEY MAN The key man for the Indians was Bubba Phillips, a slick-field- ing third baseman. With Phillips at third, Cleveland manager Joe Gordon ean play Vic Power at first, his strongest position, and shift Tito Francona to left. Catcher John Romano and first baseman Norm Cash came along with Phillips. The Giants’ acquisition of pitch- ers O'Dell and Loes, in exchange for outfielder Jackie Brandt and a couple of lesser lights, figures to plug their weakest spot last season.
