PasqueI, Sore At Critics, Wants To Bet S2,O0O,OOO

Mexico City, April 4-(UP)- President Jorge Pasquel of the Mexican Baseball League, definite ly not a tin-horn gambler, fired back a fast ball at his American critics today with an offer to bet $2000,000 (M) that his eight-team circuit will play a full season this year.
 fingered at Big League owners in the United States who predict that his Mexican loop will fold up, Pasquel said he would deposit the two million dollars in the National City Bank of New York City and that any doubter-or group of Goubters-could take the bet by making an equal deposit,
 The mustachioed Jorge, oldest of the five multi-millionaire Pas quel brothers, isn't a gambler or a sfowoff by nature. He's simply millionaire with his dander up. And he's got a couple of million dollars which burns a bigger hole in his pocket every time he reads about somebody ridiculing his leag- ue.
 When questioned by reporters, Jorge said he didn't think that the amount was so big 1t would scare off any takers.
 i've got more to bet if necess- ary," he said, in all seriousness.
 Jorge, a non-smoker who practl- cally always wears an elegant smok- ing jacket, then leaned back in his swivel chair, looked around his stylish office and threw three quick curves:
 To Sue Roy
 1. He said he would sue Jean Pierre Roy, Brooklyn Dodger pitch CT, for the $500 advanced him when he signed a contract with Bernardo Pasquel, second oldest brother and league vice president, in Havana, Cuba.
 2, He invited United States Sports Writers to come to Mexico expenses paid-to see how base ball operates south of the border.
 3. He announced the Mexican League still is looking for players. We plan to contact about a dozen more foreign players during the next four weeks"
