Nov. 29 CP) The Baltimore Sun said today it had learned that the Baltimore Orioles have offered catcher Clint Courtney and $30,000 to the Chicago White Sox for the veteran infield-er George Kell.

Prior to last season, when he was hampered by a bad back and a kpee injury, the 32-year-old Kell had batted over .300 in eight straight seasons and had a lifetime major leazue mark of .311. Last year Kell batted .276 while playing for the Boston Red Sox and the Chicago White Sox. He played third base for the White Sox under Paul Richards, the new Oriole man ager. Third base is one of the spota Richards must strengthen if he hopes to improve the chances of the Orioles, who lost 100 games and finished seventh in the American league last season. Vern Stephens, hobbled by injuries last year and Bob Kennedy, and outfielder-in-fielder, played third in 1954.

San Francisco has nine victories and one tie In the series. The victory was Baltimore's second of the season.

Adrian Burk threw five touchdown passes for Philadelphia after entering the game against Wash ington in the second quarter.

-t CALL N.J. VAN CORE'S, Inc. Club Shift On Program Biggest Baseball Headache Involves Kansas City, Co lumbus, Denver, Omaha HOUSTON. Nov. 29 The New York Yankee's efforts to place their homeless Kansas City American association franchise in Denver and the St Louis Cardinals' plan to shift their Columbus club to Omaha reached the "showdown" atage today as the minor leagues prepared to open their annual convention.

With the Dee. 1 deadline for any franchise shift only 48 hours away. i officials of the clubs and leagues Involved were kneedeep In special aessions and private caucuses hop ing to bring baseball's newest and biggest headache to some sort of solution. The American assocaltlon ached' vied a special meeting at 9 a. in.

tc S. T. and tne western league set its preparatory meeting at 10 a. m. (C S.

T.i before tangling In joint session later in the day. In the meantime, officials of the Yankees, Cardinals. Denver and Omaha clubs were engaged In pri vate conferences. Realizing that the ultimata de cision reached at tnese meetings and conferences could lead to baseball'a greatest realignment of teams, other leagues held off their meetings until the picture cleared. YANKS OFFER fse.tee This much Is known.

The Yankees want to move their Kansas City AA franchise to Denver currently In the Clas A Western league. The Cardinals are ready to vacate Columbus and swum that AA franchise to Omaha, also In the Western. The Cardinals. In cidentally, also won the Omaha franchise. The Independently-owned Denver club la operated ty Bob Howsam.

The Yankees reportedly have offered 150.000 for the Denver franchise. This has been refused. Western league directors have refused to set any price and have challenged the American association to initiate draft for its territory procedures as permitted under the rules. Th Yankees prefer negotiation to draft for two reasons. First they would like to settle the matter peaceably.

Second, a draft victory would still leave them without a ball park, which they would be forced to either rent or purchase from Howsam. The Yankees don't want to buy the Denver park and Howsam doesn't want to lease It. The Cardinals-Omaha situation Is not as Involved. Draft Is out of the question there since Omaha Is Cardinal owned. Besides, only one city from a league can be drafted, according to baseball law.

29 (INS) The Los Angeles Junior Chamber of Commerce and the Professional Golfers' association went ahead today with plans to run conflicting tournaments in California during January. The groups failed to ceUle their differences over the tourneys at the P. G. A. meeting in St, Paul yesterday.

6 to 9. The P. G. A. dropped the Los Angeles open this year.

22 Francisco 4 iters drop out or con-e tention, leaving only the Chicago Bears in the race. The best the Bears can do Is tie Detroit for the western conference lead. They can do that only if the Lions lose ail of tneir tnree re maining games and the Bears win the pair they have left to play. Cleveland can nail down its play off berth by winning two-of-three. no matter what the Giants and Philadelphia Eagles, in a second place deadlock, do.

The Browns' important triumph over New York highlighted yesterday's action. In other games, the Bean knocked Los Angeles out of the race. 24-13. Baltimore stunned San Francisco 17-13. Philadelphia whipped Washington 41-33 and Pittsburgh nipped the Chicago Cardinals, 20-17.

Cleveland impregnable defense again played a vital role in its vic tory. So stalwart were the Browns' defenders that New York gained a net of only four yards) rushing and their passes picked up only 64 yards. The Giants defensive team tried hard, but was unable to stop Otto Graham, who completed 16 aerials and bucked over for Cleveland's lone touchdown. Lou Groza. as usual, chipped in this time with three field goals.
