Anaheim Gazette TUESDAY MORNING, FEB. 3, 1953 ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA Chicago Cubs Official Ups In Offer for Kiner NEW YORK UP—Branch Rickey discussed a Ralph Kiner deal with the Chicago Cubs for four hours yesterday without reaching any agreement. Sid Mathews, Cubs' personnel director, followed up Sunday's $200,000 cash offer for Kiner with a new suggestion involving several players. He and the Pittsburgh Pirates' general manager were unable to get together. Interested in Ward It was reported that Rickey evinced an interest in first baseman Preston Ward of the Cubs and three or four other men. "I think Rickey is exploring all the possibilities," said Mathews, "to see if he can make a deal to help the Pittsburgh club. I do believe that Kiner definitely is on the market." Mathews also talked with Brooklyn officials who were interested in one of the Cubs' regular starting pitchers. He did not close the door on the possibility of a deal with the Dodgers, but intimated nothing was to be expected until the Brooklyn club had a chance to look at some of its young players in Florida. All Want Kiner The Boston Braves, Cincinnati Reds and Cubs all were known to have made a pitch for Kiner, the home run slugger with the $90,-000 contract in 1952. "I don't want to deal Kiner," said Rickey. "But if I can strengthen my club I will have to make a move."

The tiny southpaw, most valuable player in the American League last season, thus becomes the highest paid pitcher in the history of the Philadelphia American League baseball club. That includes Robert Moses, Lefty Grove, long since voted into baseball's Hall of Fame. The 27-year-old Shantz, who at 5-feet-6¼ is the smallest pitcher in major league baseball, signed the new pact with club General Manager Arthur Ehlers. Shantz left immediately after the signing for his winter home-at Lincoln, Neb. "Now I can stop worrying about money and concentrate on baseball," he commented. Asked about his left wrist, the one broken by a pitched ball last September, Shantz said, "I've forgotten all about that. It feels fine. I haven't thrown full speed yet, but that shouldn't be any trouble." The break actually was about four inches from the wrist on the forearm. Shantz is confident that he can equal or better his 24-7 record of 1952.

Glois expects to stay here August, making a full cam- have never seen Olson," he Colonist Basketball Squad Goes Against Orange Panthers Today Anaheim's Colonist basketball team takes to the courts today against Orange with the challenge of stopping the latter's sharpshooting Dick McCarter, who currently is holding second place in the Sunset league scoring standings. McCarter has racked up an impressive 133 points for the season and is following hard on the heels of Huntington Beach's Dick Stricklin. Anaheim's Bill Ames is third in scoring with 93 points. The Orange Panthers previously lost this season to Anaheim, but in the contest, McCarter scored 23 points. He possibly could have been held down more, but Coach Bill Hunstock saw his best chance to win was in having his team concentrate on scoring and guarding other players and letting McCarter more or less have his head. It worked. Anaheim's chances for victory are considerably improved with the complete recovery of Dave Moody who was held out of the last game with Orange due to the flu. With Moody in the game today, the McCarter threat might be considerably lessened. Moody, a handy man with the ball, is second highest scorer to date on the Colonists squad. Moody has earned a 41-point average by hitting 20 out of 41 shots from the floor. Leading Anaheim point-getter is Bill Ames, who has garnered 93 tallies in seven games for a 13.3 average. The Colonist scoring standings are: G-A-F-G F R TP Avg Ames 7 87-22 29 13 93 13.3 Moody 6 41-20 30 47 70 11.6 Herbey 6 68-34 13 11 81 11.3 Lynn 6 42-22 12 70 64 8.4 Wilhelm 6 13-22 23 27 62 4.2 Philippe 7 28-19 72 23 27 25 Bishop 6 17-7 16 12 25 Nelson 2-4-2 0-2-4 Knox 3-1-2 1-4-4 Clark 5-5-2 4-6-4 Salazar 3-3-0-0-2 Johnson 3-0-0-0-0 Also chests Elizabeth der, Lin To SIZZLING HOT and READY TO GO!
