BOSTON RED SOX
MAKE BIG DEALS
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., Dec. 11
——Once again, as in the past
three seasons, the fence-busting
Boston Red Sox rule a strong fa
vorite to win the American League
pennant—and with good reason.
Already strengthened by the ac
quisition of Lou Boudreau, the once
peerless shortstop, the Red Sox
yesterday struck fear into the hearts
of their rivals by the completion
of a $500,000 five-man trade with
Chicago that helped where it was
needed most—pitching.
The important deal, first to be
consummated at the winter base
ball meetings here, brings to Bos
ton a pair of front line hurlers—
lefthander Bill Wight and right
hander Ray Scarborough—in ex
change for rightfielder Allen Zarilla !
and pitchers Joe Dobson and Dick 1
Littlefield.
All except the rookie Littlefield
are veterans of many campaigns.
Littlefield, a 24-year-old southpaw,
came to the Red Sox from Birming
ham last August and finished
with a 2-2 record. Both sides in
sist no money figured in the deal.
Wight, 28. won 10 and lost 16
for the second division White Sox
last season. Scarborough, who came
to the Sox in a six-man trade with
Washington last May, wound up
with a 13-18 record. The latter,
knou’n as a Red Sox killer over
the years, is 32. He has been credited
with knocking the Red Sox out of
two pennants.
Zarilla. 30. had a fine year with
Boston hitting .325 in 130 games
and knocking in 74 runs. Dobson,
34. had a 15-10 record last year.
His lifetime mark against Chicago
is 17-6.
The deal, on the eve of the start
of the major league meetings today,
left the leaders of Detroit, Cleve
land and the New York Yankees
utterly dismayed.
“That makes it rugged,” said a
gloomy Red Rolfe. the Tiger man
ager. "If the Red Sox can’t win
now they had better give up.”

RAINIER! MAKING
BASEBALL TRADES
SEATTLE, Dee. 11 — </P» — Guy
Fletcher, the man who didn’t smile
even before a line drive broke his
jaw in the middle of the 1950 base
ball season was traded Saturday
by Seattle to the San Francisco
Seals.
In return Seattle received pitcher
Steve Nagy and infielder Reno
Cheso. Nagy was bothered by a
sore arm last season and completed
only one of the 13 games in which
he appeared.
Fletcher, a 23-game winner in
1949, was slow in getting started
after holding out last spring and
won only 11 against 12 defeats.

PRO-FOOTBALL
(By the Associated Press)
Snowstorms, mud, fist-swinging
and referee-chasing climaxed one of
the National Football League’s
most hectic campaigns as the regu
lar season ended yesterday with un
precedented ties in both confer
ences.
The New York Giants whipped
the Philadelphia Eagles 9-7 to
f nish the American Conference
race in a tie with the Cleveland
Erowns who drubbed Washington,
45-21. The Chicago Bears edged De
troit 6-3 to deadlock with the idle
Los Angeles Rams in the National
Conference.
Sunday the Giants and Browns
battle at Cleveland and the Bears
and the Rams at Los Angeles in
playoff games to determine the con
ference titles.
If either game ends in a tie
there will be a sudden death over
time—the first team scoring wins.
The conference winners then will
meet for the league title the follow
ing Sunday.
HOCKEY GAMES
(By the Associated Press)
New Westminster’s Royals took
two on the chin in the weekend
Pacific Coast Hockey League play
and dropped into second place in
the percentage column although
continuing to lead the circuit on a
point basis.
Seattle cellar dwellers turned the
trick last night, 7-2, for their first
win over the Canadians in five
games. Rudy Filion and Pete Tka
chuk each scored two goals for Se
attle.
In another Sunday contest, Port
land's Jim Fairburn sneaked in a
goal in the closing minutes to give
the Eagles a 3-3 tie with Vancouver.
Vancouver also tied with Tacoma,
5-5, in a Saturday night encounter
| while Victoria was dumping New
Westminster, 4-1.

IN these uncertain days it’s wise to
buy a rugged truck that can roll
with the punches for years to come.
Big fleet operators who keep careful
check on all makes of trucks tell us that
GMG’s are consistent standouts for
long life with minimum maintenance.
That goes for all GMC’s from 14-ton
models up. Many GMC Diesel truck
tractors are still highballing loads with
more than a million miles of over-the*
road service behind them.
The reaspn is —every GMC is all
truck! Every GMC is designed by
truck engineers for truck service with
100% truck-built parts. You get a real
truck engine with high horsepower and
higher sustained torque—more pull
on engine that delivers full power without
eating its heart out!
There are many other extra-value
reasons why a GMC is your best buy
for the long haul. We’ll be glad to
give you proof!
