YORK (UP) The first kirk-pack from the American -lragye's "no-trade" rule, which 'wasdirected at the Yankees, came Tbdrsday when the world champions evaded the legislation by making a deal with the Cincinnati Reds under the waiver guise.

In an unusual deal which prompted a lot of eye-brow lifting, the Yanks obtained Pitcher Lee Grissom in exchange for Pitcher Joe Beggs from their Newark Farm club. Before the Reds could dispose of Grissom, a big lefthander who looked like a comer in 1937 but never lived up to his promise, they rind to waive him out of the team, Will Harridge, league presi dent, revealed Thursday. In Philadelphia to attend a pre view of "Touching All Bases," the circuit's new motion picture, Har ridge said that the league's appeal for the Browns has been made to keep the 1940 pennant race from ketball.

Don Barnes and- the other St. Louis men associated with him have enough money to carry on, but they can't buy players they need to strengthen the club. "Something has to be done to remedy the situation and the league is taking the initiative in the matter.

Now it is up to the clubs to do something, for it is to their benefit if the league race is more than a one-team affair." Harridge declined comment on reports that other team owners have not taken kindly to the idea because they have little surplus talent to spare. But the Browns, he added, are more of a headache than the so-far invincible Yankees.

Disposal of Grissom means that the Reds are counting heavily on Johnny "No-hif Vander Meer to stage a comeback in 1940. If Vander Mccr doesn't come back to his 1938 form the Reds will have to depend entirely on Milburn Shoff-ner, picked up from the Bees late last season, lor their southpaw chores. Grissom spent three full seasons and part of two others with Cincinnati after coming up from Fort Worth in 1935. He won 25 games and lost 30 during his stay with the Reds. His most active year was 1937 when he won 12 games and lost 17 for a last-place club.

Last year with a pennant winner he won 9 and lost 7 and had an earned run average of 4.09. What the Yanks plan to do with Grissom, a temperamental fellow definitely on the screwball side, is problematical. They may look him over in the spring or he may wind up in Newark or Kansas Citv.

Atherton turned over to the conference a bundle of facts and figures which took two years to compile. It lifts the lid off on methods of trapping star athletes and various cleverly disguised ways of providing their upkeep. To pave the way for providing the conference a brand new cloak of respectability, faculty members authorized a minute survey of conditions at the ten big far western institutions it embraces. It cost approximately $40,000. The completed tome may become the throne for Atherton to sit upon as a one-man overseer.

The faculty men, from what information can be rounded up outside the doors of the convention hall, mean business this time. They've discussed for years the idea of having a high commissioner administer the conference's affairs. Patterned after the plan in effect in the Big Ten conference, it would provide even more rigorous administration of athletic affairs, it is said. Atherton's round-up of facts created a profound impression on the faculty representatives. He sits in the private sessions.

Contents of the report have been guarded with secrecy. Atherton, apparently in the belief a certain amount of public airing would do more good than harm, said he intended to suggest release of a digest of the coast-wide athletic "inside dope."

Beggs May Be Regular. Beggs, who is a 26-year-old righthander, is likely to stick with the Reds and may even win a regular job.

Since the Yanks have had him in Newark three years, and have given him two tryouts with the New York varsity, they couldn't send him out on option any more. He is more than a pitcher, the price Grissom must be valued at since he became a waiver-priced player when no National league club showed any interest in him. Beggs is a rubber-armed pitcher whose stuff breaks sharply like a fork-ball. He has had outstanding success pitching low, which is the National league way of chunking. He likes to work often.

He's a graduate of Geneva college, where he was a star javelin thrower. His best year was 1937 when he won 21 and lost 4 for Newark. He was with the Yanks part of 1938, winning three and losing two, before going back to Newark, where he won six and lost three. His record last year was 12 victories and 10 defeats with an earned run average of 3.80. Baseball circles first reactions to the deal was.

"What's the matter with Beggs?" When the Yanks get rid of a player everyone is skeptical of his ability but Newark club officials said they believed Beggs was good enough to make any major league club except the Yankees.
