The major leagues saw a frantic Sunday trading spree led by the Kansas City Athletics. Seven clubs swapped players before the deadline, with Kansas City sending Billy Hunter to Cleveland for Chico Carrasquel and making two major deals with the Indians and Yankees involving nine players. The Athletics also traded Woody Held and Vic Power to Cleveland for Roger Maris Preston Ward and Dick Tomanek, and later swapped Duke Maas and Virgil Trucks to New York for Harry Simpson and Bob Grim. The Yankees, after selling Sal Maglie to the Cardinals, added Zeker Monroe. St. Louis sent Gene Freese and Johnny Ober to Pittsburgh for Dick Schofield. Ward, 30, a nine-year veteran, brings a .238 average and appears a regular at first base or outfield. Maris, installed in right field, has 225 batting average with nine homers this season. Simultaneously, Cleveland lands Power and a pair of infielders, while the Indians also acquire a top regular outfield via Held.
