Dick Stuart Waiting To Be Traded...Dick Stuart got the message right away. '-Je knew what the Phillies were trying to tell him since last August.“Yep. I'm waiting to be traded.” he said on the telephone from his home in Greenwich, Conn. “You can’t have two guys making $50.-000, playing the same position on the same jail club. I'm sure that Bill White is making much as I am.’’As you know by now. the Cardinals last week traded to the Phils’ Wbite, Dick Groat and Bob Uecker for Art Mahaffey, Pat Cor-rales and Alex Johnson.Phillies’ manager Gene Mauch said that Stu-jrt was available.
