Cards Peddle Curt Simmons ST. LOUIS (AP) Vetersn lefthander Curt Simmons became the latest casualty Wednesday in the St. Louis Cardinals youth movement as he was sold to the Chicago Cubs for the $20,000 waiver price. Simmons, 37, had a 1-1 record with the Cardinals and an earned run average of 4.59, appearing in only 10 games. Simmons had been with the Cardinals since 1960 and helped them to the National League pennant in 1964 when he compiled an 18-9 record.

He was 9-13 in 1965. Simmons thus follows Ken Boyer, Bill White and Dick Groat, stalwarts in the 1964 pennant drive who since have been dealt to other dubs. He was unable to break into the starting pitching rotation this season.

NEW YORK (AP) Trading was the heaviest of the week as the stock market's rally continued today, encountering some profit taking early this afternoon.
