Did DetroiVs Campbell Get Atvay With Larceny? Chicago Daily News Service It is almost 20 years ago, when the Yankees and Giants were about to play the World Series, that a deal was made between the Cubs and the Cincinnati Reds. Neither Jim Gallagher, then with the Cubs, nor Gabe Paul, then the Reds boss, can remember all the players involved. But they agreed, over here, that the Cubs got a catcher named John Pramesa, who ran without his feet leaving the ground, and the Reds got Bob Borkowski, an outfielder, and Smokey Burgess. There would be no point to this recollection except for one thing. Paul was asked: would you announce a deal on the eve of a World Series, when you could wait a week or two and get more publicity out of Paul, now vice president of the Indians, replied: did this on purpose we want any ink on this kind of a The inference was plain: it much of a transaction.

But on the eve of this World Series, the Tigers shed Denny McLain, their gun-toting hurler, for two pitchers, a third baseman and a shortstop from For a day, at least, this almost took the play away from the Series and the best line written about the transaction read like this: Campbell (Detroit general manager) took the pistol away from McLain and pointed it at Bob Short, the Washington It is a virtually unanimous opinion, among baseball men, that the Tigers the left side of their infield for the next five years with Aurelio Rodriguez at third and Eddie Brinkman at short and, at same time, got rid of a definite pain in neck in McLain. People come up to Campbell and accuse him of outright larceny and he just smiles and says: hope it will work out to our He has trouble keeping a straight when he says that. On the other hand Short rebutts: need a gate attraction, an outstanding star and wc think we got him And if McLain can win 20-25 games for the Senators, he will be just that. But as one major manager pointed out: may not be getting those six-seven-eight runs a game that he won with in There was another trade of note to come up during the Series. The Red Sox sent Tony Conigliaro, plus a battery, to California for three young players.

This prompted a chat with Lefty Phillips, the Angels manager, who responded blandly: wanted some new talent and we needed a man who can pump the They got him, at least on 1970 paper, because Tony C. had 36 home runs and 116 runs batted last season. These are what are known as deals. It mean, exactly, that spur-of-the-moment swaps: just that the present is already past and the future has to be considered. That was also the case with the Cardinals sending Richie Allen to Los Angeles.

He was persona non grata with the Redbirds and they got Ted Sizemore, Rookie of the Year in for a longer and maybe more rewarding period of time. If the Reds blow this World Series, their present lineup could be subject to change in There is talk of Lee May being on the block. Manager Sparky Anderson already has been approached with offers for pitchers Jim McGlothlin and Jim Merritt and they will be available. The Reds are going to throw a whole new, young mound staff at the opposition next season. The White Sox and Cubs are also on the move.

Both have talked with Buzzy Bavasi, the boss of the San Diego Padres. had six teams interested in some of our young said Bavasi, they will be available at the right terms. got enough youth now that we can afford to spice it with older players who can keep us The Sox have received bids for Tom McCraw, Duane Josephnson and Carlos May.

That defensive gem set up a 14-yard field goal by Dale Livingston, his third three-pointer of the night, and the one that provided the victory. After a 6-6 first half that saw four field goal's, the Packers surged back in the third quarter, scoring on Starr passes of four yards to Jack Clancy and two yards to John Hilton. With a 19-6 lead, coach Phil Bengstofi took Starr out, explaining later, shoulder was bothering Don Horn took over at quarterback only to run into quick trouble.

Pete Barnes intercepted his pass at the Charger 22 and returned to the 36. With Domres, the second year pro from Columbia, taking over at quarterback from starter John HadI, Chargers charged. Domres shot a short, swing pass to rookie Dave Smith on a play gaining 42 to the Packer 22. Jeft Queen lost two and then Domres pitched out to tight end Willie Frazier on a reverse. Frazier raced for the touchdown.

Virtually the same play had set up an earlier field goal. knew from the films that they had that tight end reverse, but it look like we had ever seen Bengston commented. Two minutes and 15 seconds LINCOLN, NEBRASKA OCT. 13, PAGE 13 later, Queen scored from the one following a Horn fumble at the 10. About that time Bengston was asking Sta-rr if he could throw.

not as easy to concentrate with this hanging over your other field goals were from 16 and 27 yards in the first half that ended 6-6 as Mike Mercer was accurate from 16 and 29. What provided the Chargers their short-lived one-point advantage was a Livingston point- after-touchdown try blocked by Tom Williams. Defensive end Lionel Aldridge added to woes. He sacked the quarterback four of the six times he was thrown behind the line. And Aldridge said, tackling good.

I think we had a letdown from last a 13-10 over Minnesota. statistics look pretty good, but because the rest of the line was forcing the quarterback my Aldridge said.
