Dent Deal Bolsters Yankees Pennant Hopes
New York owner George Steinbrenner pulled off a major trade sending outfielder Oscar Gamble to acquire Chicago shortstop Bucky Dent. Dent's arrival followed negotiations with Bill Veeck and recent talks for Toby Harrah. Dent signed a three year deal estimated near 600000 dollars. The Yankees also acquired Marty Perez from the Giants after missing Harrah. Polinsky and Hoyt were moved from the Yankees along with cash considerations. Wrestling Biddy wrestling practice will be held from 3:30-5:30 p.m. Thursday in Cole Gym. All wrestlers aged 5-14 are to meet at that time.
