Vernon Sits Tight As Senators ponder Vernon trade
Vernon remains the center of a trade standoff as Washington owner Griffith teeters on trading AL batting champion Mickey Vernon to the Boston Red Sox. Manager Harris hinted a decision within 24 hours with a lean lineup featuring only Pete Runnels as a lefty infield option. Vernon seeks 35000 in crease 19000 above his prior ask of 40000, after hitting .337 last season.

Poor Yanks shuffle infield as Coleman named starter
United Press reports Casey Stengel designated Jerry Coleman to replace Billy Martin at second base for the 1954 season. The move reunites the 1951 infield with Joe Collins at first Gil McDougald at third and Phil Rizzuto at shortstop. Martin loses a reserve role despite his 1953 World Series fame as Coleman, younger and a smoother fielder, steps into the everyday job. In Tucson Hank Greenberg reassured Early Wynn of no trade while Lou Boudreau plans to use the big Indians trio for 850 to 900 innings in the rotation.
