Lakeside Leucht 0. ion Trade Talk Stirs ^ Hot Stove League With 14 clubs needing help to "brealc the flag trusts," this winter may result in more trading in the major leagues than at any time in the last ten years, Dan Daniel writes in The Sporting News. In the American League, the unsuccessful teams of 1953 are confronted with the acute danger of a sixth straight pennant for the Yankees and, in the National League, tlwe is an even greater probability that the Dodgers will win their third championship in succession. Despite being pennant favorites, both the Bombers and the Bums are in the trading market. Brooklyn is after a topflight hurler, although the Dodgers can count on the return of Don Newcombe from the Army, next season. -The Yankees have eyes on Harry Byrd of the Athletics and Bob? Turley, Baltimore's fastball righthander, and have a surplus of talent to offer in return. The Orioles, the A's and the Tigers, all in the process of rebuilding, are likely to be the most active in negotiating deals, but Cleveland hopes to pick up the strength needed to turn the perennial runners-up into a flagwinner. General Manager Hank Greenberg is said to covet Catcher Clint Courtney and Outfielder Vic Wertz of Baltimore, but the Orioles are talking in terms of Second Baseman Bobby Avila, Outfielder Dale Mitchell and Pitcher Early Wynn in any exchange. Daniel's story in The Sporting News reports that both the Phillies and Braves are interested in Outfielder Bobby Thomson of the Giants. The Phils are said to be willing to give up First Baseman Eddie WaitHus and Pitchers Steve Ridzik and Karl Drews. an omen," said Walter O'Malley, club president. , k. _ storta••>.

Alston Poses In Shirt Worn By Haugstad The Sporting News reports that when a Dodger cap and uniform shirt were produced for Walter Alston, new manager for the club, to pose for cameramen, it was noted that the shirt bore the name of Phil Haugstad, an erratic righthander who didn't last long with the Brooks.

Random Picks From The Sporting News As a reward for Roy Companella's fine work with the Brooklyn Dodgers, President Walter O'Malley again assured the Dodger catcher, when he was named the National League's most valuable player, that when he is ready to quit as an active player in the major leagues, he will be given a job as managfr in the Dodger farm system, reports The Sporting News. This will give Campanella the distinction of being the first Negro manager of a club in Organized Ball. ' v Although Bucky Harris would like to have Johnny Groth on his club, says The Sporting News, the Senators' manager isn't too optimistic of obtaining the center fielder from the Orioles. Bucky, asked if he would like to have Groth, replied he would, primarily because "Griff (Nat President Clark Griffith) wants him." Branch Rickey's famed scorecard, which was part of The Mahatma's dugout equipment when he managed the Cardinals, recalled to The Sporting News that the St. Louis club in that period probably had more signs than all the other clubs in the league put together. The Cardinals were known as Rickey's Rubbernecks because they always seemed to be turning their heads to catch a sign. ^Advance informatloj; Pigskin Pete of The Sporting News picks Michigan State to win over UCLA in the Rose Bowl and rates Oklahoma over Maryland in the Orange Bowl on New Years Day. YREASURER REVEALS BALANCE OF $256,993 At CLOSE OF YEAR County Treasurer J. G. Stevens submitted his annual report to the board of supervisors this week.

McHEHRY LOSES THRILLER TO TOWNSENiyS CHEVIES The McHenry town team lost a 65 to 64 decision to Townsend's Chevies in the last four seconds of the game. It was a close and thrilling game all the way, with a 12 to 11 score at the quarter, Townsend's leading. It was 32 to 30 at the half with Townsend's still leading. The third quarter saw plenty of action with the score tied 45-all at its end. In the fourth, Townsend's grabbed a 6- point lead but the McHenry boys came rigtht back to take a 9- point lead at the mid-way point of the quarter. With both teams fighting hard, the Chevies came back to within one point of McHenry with qnly 4 seconds remaining to be played. A pass interception and a fine shot by Bud Tornow won the game for the Chevies. Bob "Pip" peisert was high point man for McHenry with 10 field goals and 2 free throws for 22 points. Lloyd Freund drew second honors with 12 points, Dick Gibbs had 10 and Glen Peterson and Ray Schmitt each had 6. Hessie Miller and Bob Miller came up with 4 points each.

They were nosed out 57 to 56 Friday night at Crystal Lake in a game that was snatched in the final seconds. The game was pretty much a defensive exhibition with a lot of whistle-tootin' in the first quarter, but basket production opened up as the game moved along. - Crystal Lake had two, too-big fellows in Reading and Parrish. They did a lot of scoring and a lot of rebounding that the Warriors could not stop. Reading seemed to be in tlhe right place at the right time as he flipped and pushed his shots to the tune of 29 points. Parrish seemed to be shooting free throws every time you looked up, registering 10 of his 18 points in that manner. . With 30 seconds McHenry held a 1-point edge. They lost the ball on a drive-in shot and Parrish hit the' hoop to win the game. * Loren Freund's 24 points and Ron Ford's 22 - gave McHenry fans plenty to rihout about.
