Phils Trade
Ed Waitkus
To Orioles
CLEARWATEA, Fla., March 16
(A") The Philadelphia Phillies,
though hurting for hitting
strength and reserves, today dis 7
posed of first baseman Eddie
Waitkus for cash. The 33-year-old
Waitkus went to the American
League's Baltimore Orioles.
Bob Carpenter, Phillies' presi
dent-owner, closed the deal at the
National Leaguers' training base
with General Manager Art Ehlers
of the Orioles. The announcement
said Waitkus was sold for more
than the $lO,OOO waiver figure—
believed to be about $40,000.
While it has been obvious for
some time that the Phillies would
drop either Waitkus or Earl Tor
geson, the club's other first base
man, the fact that no trade was
involved came as a surprise. Most
baseball men believe that Car
penter wanted to trade one of
his first sackers for much needed
infield strength of a long ball hit
ter of note.
Ehlers expressed the usual front
office delight at obtaining a new
player. "We are aware of his de
fensiye ability and we know he is
a consistent hitter if not a long
distance hitter," was the way he
put it.
Waitkus really was tickled pink
over the deal. He said: "I hate to
leave the Phillies but this presents
such a better opportunity. I just
can't go on sitting on the bench.
It upset me so badly last year
that I jumped the team."
Waitkus came to the Phillies in
the winter of 1948-49 in a trade
with the Chicago Cubs that sent
pitchers. Emil Dutch Leonard and
Walt Dubiel to the Cubs.
Last year, Torgeson and Wait
gus, divided the first base duties,
with Waitkus hitting .291 in. 81
games and Torgy .275 in 111
games: Torgeson hit 11 home runs
and drove home 64 while Wait
kus had one homer and 16 RBIs.
The Orioles learned that Dick
Kryhoski's left wrist Was broken
just as news came in of the pur
chase of Waitkus.
Both are first basemen and bat
lefthanded.
The fracture which Kryhoski
received by a pitched ball in yes
terday's exhibition game against
the New York Giants in Phoenix
was discovered by X-rays taken
today.
The young distance hitter will
be out of action from "fotir to six
weeks, at least," said Dr. A. I.
Podolsky, a Yuma, Ariz., physi
cian.
