FOUR PLAYERS CHANGE THEIR SOX
Peterson, Jansen To Chicago; Paddock, Judge To Boston

BOSTON--Not content to rest on its laurels after winning its third consecutive World Series, the Boston American League club made a trade with the Chicago White Sox yesterday.

The biggest name in the deal was All-Star Bob Peterson, who had been coveted by the Chicagos for some time. The Red Sox, in return, had wanted 21-year-old first sacker Joe Judge, one of the most brilliant prospects in all of base ball.

The Chicago club, however, was unwilling to part with Judge unless Boston sweetened the pot. When the Red Sox offered to send along third baseman Ray Jansen, the White Sox agreed to the trade, and sent along Del Paddock to plug Boston's new hole at third base.

Boston will now turn back to a familiar face for the lion's share of work behind the dish. Bill Carrigan, who has backed up Peterson ably for several seasons now, will return to regular duty. Carrigan possesses many of the skills that make Peterson one of the best backstops in base ball, including a sharp batting eye.

Paddock will bring more speed and the ability to get on base to the Boston lineup, while Judge will continue his seasoning in Providence.

"I believe this trade will help our club," Red Sox manager Jimmy Collins said last night. "Peterson and Jansen have been big parts of our recent success, but you have to give up good players to get good players."

(I'll admit that I wouldn't have spent nearly as much time working out the trade with the White Sox if it wasn't going to open up a spot for Carrigan...*grin* )
