Flurry Os Trade Talk Pops
Up On Major League Front
By CARL LINDQUIST
(United Press Sports Writer)
PHOENIX. Ariz. (IP) Business
was expected to pick up today at
the mid-winter baseball meetings
as 82 minor league clubs conduct
ed their wholesale player draft
and a flurry of trade talk popped
up on the big league front.
The Dodgers scheduled a noon j
press conference at which they ;
were expected "to announce that
chipper Charley Dressen had been
signed as manager for 1953. That
would be only confirmation of
stories carried shortly before the
World Series in which solid
sources in the Brooklyn oragniza
tion said Dressen would be around
again.
The Giants, who have been dick
ering with the Cubs, were expect
ed to make one more try to close
a deal, possibly adding a utility
player to the package in which
shortstop Alvin Dark would be
swapped for pitcher Bob Rush and
shortstop Roy Smalley. Uiey were
turned down in their first attempt
to close the transaction.
Branch Rickey, general manag
er of the Pittsburgh Pirates, was
expected to name his field boss
before the meetings end. It was
regarded almost certain that Fred
STORMY EDDIE STANKY NAMED
NATIONAL LEAGUE MANAGER OF '52
By CARL LUNDQUIST
(United Press Sports Writer)
NEW YORK UP) Stormy
Eddie Stanky, the little banty
rooster boss of the Cardinals, re
l ceived the United Press National
; League Manager of the Year A
ward yesterday for his scrappy work
j in bringing them home third in
his first year on the job.
The rookie pilot, just as spirited
! on the bench as when he battled
all comers as a second baseman.
I V
i Earl Smith’s boys before they be-
I gin Conference play on Dec. 9.
Nick Smouthers of Reidsville and
Jim Duffie of New Bern have look
ed geed in recent workouts and
are expected to hold starting roles
in this week’s contests. The other
probable starters are; Ronald Per
cise, Howard McKinnon, Olie Har
rell.
Haney of the Hollywood Stars In
the Pacific Coast League would
get the post if he relinquishes h;,
demands for a long-term contract.
If it is not Haney, it probably
will be Eddie Sawyer, who is
looking for a big league post ofter
being let out by the Phillies.
The Braves still had lefty pitch
ing ace Warren Spahn on the
market and there were various
deals being considered but Gen
eral Manager John Quinn said.
"We haven't gotten one yet that
we think is worm a second look."
At the same time the Pirates
kept denying that their home run
king. Ralph Kiner, was on the
block, but they were supposed to
be getting almost compelling of
fers —particularly from ■ the Phils.
Dodgers, and Giants, whose parks
; are tailor-made for the slugging of
■ the big right handed swinger.
The Cincinnati Reds kept comb
ing markets in both leagues and
there w'as possibility of a deal be
-1 tween them and the Chicago White
Sox. It could involve their lower
echelon clubs.
On the draft front, the minors
( were taking over for two days
and were expected to go much
heavier for bargain-lot players
than did the majors. The majors
i picked up only 11 Monday worth
wrangled with opposing players
and managers, sports writers, um
pires, and even his own team.
Although listed as a player-man
ager, he saw little playing serv
ice except as a pinch hitter when
he frequently worked his specialty
!of wheedling walks in critical
situations.
I Actually, Stanky did not improve
; the Cardinals in the standings,
I because they also finished third in
i the 1951 campaign. Marty Marion
' got fired by President Fred Saigh
j for that job. However, Stanky had
j the club in pennant contention
: much of the while and finished
| with seven more victories than
i the Cardinals gained in 1951. They
| wound up 8 1-2 games out of first
j place, compared to 15 1-2 out for
i Marion’s club.
i Stanky was named on 10 out of
j 24 ballots for the award, winning
comfortably from chipper Charley
| Dressen, the Dodger pilot, who
[ received five votes. Leo Durocher
of the Giants, the 1951 winner,
i Steve O’Neill of the Phillies and
] Bill Meyer of the Pirates, who
never quit on his frightful last-.
! place club, also received consid
! eration.
Stanky. starting slowly, finally
I managed to get his club into high
gear, but not without a few run
ins. In one temper tantrum he
fined pitcher Harry Brecheen and
had words with other players.
Then .he calmed down, conducted
a club house meeting in which he
lifted the fine and apologized for
the blow-up.
On many other occasions ho
scrapped with sports writers, um
pires and opposing teams.
As the season progressed, he
developed into a fine handler of
pitchers and had particular suc
cess with two youngsters who
came up late, Stuart Miller from
the Columbus Red Birds and Har
vey Haddix from Army service.
Both figure strongly in the Car
dinal plans for 1953 when Stanky
thinks the Cards will be in the
J thick of things all the wway.
I The “Little Brat,” as he is
! known and not always affection
j ately, either, had his troubles
with one old “Gas-Houser” Coach
Terry Moore, who was fired at
| the close of the season. Moore,
j one of the most popular players
j ever to wear Cardinal livery, crit-
I icized Stanky as a “poor loser who
j acted like a nine year old boy” in
I the club house after defeats.
Nevertheless, there were fewer
j of those Cardinal defeats than ex
pected, and if Stanky’s win or
| else" spirit prevails again next
: season, there will be fewer yet.
