BALTIMORE, Mar. 14.-Bal-
timore Municipal Stadium, prob
able new home of the st. Louis
Browns, would give American
League sluggers who hit to right
or left field something of a home
run advantage.
While the parks 410-foot dis
tance from home plate to center
field compares pretty we'll with
other American League playing
fields, the distance to right and
left field is 291 feet. just five feet
shorter than Yankee Stadium's
right field home-run span.
BY contrast, the shortest dis
tance for a home run in the Polo
Grounds is only 259 feet in right
field and $50 feet in left field.
The distance increases sharply,
however, with the centerfield wall
400 feet from home plate.

AntoneM Quickly Rejoins Club
After Discharge at Fort Myer

Johnny Antonelli is back in
Bradenton. Fla, with the Boston
Braves after being discharged
from the Army at Fort Myer
yesterday. The Braves expect to
get more use out of their $4,000
bonus pitcher than they did two
years ago. Johnny is hoping to
see more action, too.
Antonelli pitched less than 100
innings with the Braves during
the 1948-49-50 seasons. However,
he saw plenty of action as a
hurler at Fort Myer and made
the most of it. Johnny won AZ
games and lost only two in the
two seasons he played with the
soldiers.
THAT was what I needed"
Antonelli says, plenty of work.
I didn't have a chance to throw
much for the Braves before, but
now I hope Mr.. Grimm Manager
Charlie Grimm) will give me
more chances to work"
Grimm knows what Antonelli
could do before he went in the
Army-Johnny beat the Cubs,

Along Newspaper Row could

Charley Grimm, manager Of
the Braves who will be returning
to Milwaukee, where he had
many successful teams, said I'm
surprised at the suddenness of
the thing"
Start of Reorganization.
Lou Boudreau, manager of the
Red Sox, who will have no Ma
tional League competition in
Boston if the plan goes through,
remarked This means the start
of the reorganization of the
major leagues"
Bill McKechnie, former Braves
manager and now a Red SoX

to baseball and I hoped it would
not happen. Yet I felt this morn
ing that the Braves definitely
would change"
Ed Mathews, Braves young
third sacker. said: II don't know
whether to be sad or glad"

it was a difficult decision to
make.
Its unfortunate in a way"
he said. Maybe Milwaukee isn't
a major league city. I'm sure
don't know, but I feel it will
become one.
"We'll take the name of the
team and all the officials who
want to go with us and I'll fight
to have the All-Star game which
was awarded to us shifted to
Milwaukee"
Perlni was asked If Weeks

ST. LOUIS, Mar. 14.-Mayor
Joseph M. Darst of ST. Louis

for an injunction to prevent the
ST. Louis Browns from shifting
their American League franchise
to Baltimore.
Mayor Darst said he had in
formed Ford Frick. baseball COM
missioner, and Will Harridge.
American League president, OF
his proposed action in strongly
worded telegram.
Darst, who earlier had termed
the proposed shift of the base
ball club from St. Louis to Bal
timore as IAN outrage" said he
has set a 10 am. Monday dead
line on filing the suit in Circuit
Court.
To Sue as individual.
He informed Frick and Har-
ridge that he hoped before that
time to have their "authorita-
tive assurance that the leaders
of organized baseball have aban-
doned the thought of removing
Quasi-public property without the
consent of its owners, in this
instance. the grand people OF
St. Louis"
The suit will be brought by
Mayor DarSt as an individual.
The city of ST. Louis will not
be a party to the action.

be Bill Veeck. owner OF the
Browns: the club as corpora
ton; all of it's directors, Har-
ridge, Frick and Warren Giles,
National League president.
(Veeck merely laughed in
Baltimore when told of the
threatened suit. His only COM
ment was, well, that's inter-
eSting.O
Another Suit Planned.
The Mayors entry into the
legal picture came shortly after
another indication of st. Louis
reluctance to part with the
Browns, a St. Louis trademark
since 1902.
Duggan earlier said he had
been retained by a group OF
citizens and perhaps minority
stockholders in the Browns. to
file a suit seeking a similar in
junction.
The st. Louis Chamber Of !
Commerce also telegraphed Frick |
and Harridge, as we'll as Veeck,
in an effort to postpone trans
fer arrangements until the busi-
ness interests of st. Louis have |
an opportunity to explore the !
possibilities of the Browns re-
tention in st. Louis"

Snoring Relief
Hints Are Listed
By TB Association

Millions of Americans suffer
every night from an ailment they
don't have themselves. 1t is prob.
ably the only malady known to
man that brings anguish to the
nonafflicted, without in the least
disturbing the afflicted, if that's
the right word for the estimated
20,000,000 Americans who snore,
the Maryland tuberculosis Associ-
alton tells us.
Audiometer readings of unin.
hibited snorers have gone as high
as 40 decibels, about equal to a
noisy street corner in the business
district. Although doctors do not
usually consider snoring a serious
ailment, research shows that
sounds Of much less volume than
40 decibels increase the blood pres
sure and muscle tension of the
nearest sleeper. 1t is an open ques-
ton how many decibels, night after
night, the snorer's roommate can
taoke before he is driven into gen
eral debility, neurosis, a separate
bedroom, or the divorce court.
Short of divorce, what can the
suffering victim do? First the doc
tor should be consulted to find out
whether there is any abnormal
condition of the palatal tissues,
nose, and throat passages which
can be corrected. If this possibility
is eliminated, the snoring may be
caused by too much smoking or
drinking, or overweight. In such
cases, the snorer must cooperate
fully, hard as it may be for him
to make sacrifices to get rid of
an ailment which doesn't bother
him in the slightest.
