Senators Would Trade Sievers To Chisox-If ORLANDO, (J) The Washington Senators are willing to trade outfielder Roy Sievers to the Chicago White Sox if cen- terfielder Jim Landis is part of the deal. Cal Griffith, owner of the Sen ators, said Monday, "if I traded Sievers to the White Sox I'd have to ask for Landis and another pretty good player.

We're looking for a center fielder and I believe Landis is one of the best. He would qualify as a front line player." continued. Griffith. though he hardly is in the es tablished class of Sievers. Therefore, we'd have to get something else along with mm.

Griffith admitted the Sox navent made any new propositions for Sievers since the winter "If I took several second flight- era in a package deal for Sievers like the White Sox offered me," said Griffith, "I wouldn't be as well off as I am with just Sievers At least I know he's one of the great sluggers in the league. He's an attraction. He means more to us than having three mediocre players. "If I had to make a guess right now say mat Mevers is go ing to remain right with the Sen ators because we're not going to give cream for skimmed milk."
