1851. he batted only .227 and was
a .233 hitter last year.
"He won't be 20 years old un-

Major Clubs Return
18 Men 10 Minors;
Indians GET Foi|es
By the Assoeiafed Press

Eighteen players who started
the campaign with major league
teams were back in the minors
today, victims of the 25-player
limit, while two more switched
uniforms.
From now until September 1,
each club is permitted only IS
players, plus up to five who are
back for their first season after
serving in the armed forces.
Both of last years pennant
winners-the Yankees and the
Dodgers-had to shave their ros-
tiers. The Yanks optioned Out
fielder Bob Cerv to Kansas City
and Infielders Jim BrideweSer
and Frank Verdi to Syracuse.
Belardi Back on Roster.
The Dodgers sent Dixie How
ell, their bullpen catcher. to st.
Paul and optioned Outfielder
Dick Williams to Montreal. They
also restored to active service
First Baseman Wayne Belardi,
who had been out since the start
of the season because of an elbow
operation.
There were only two deals in
volving major league teams. The
Pirates sold Catcher Eddie Fitz-
Gerald to Washington and Gin
cinnati sold Catcher Hank Foiles
to Cleveland.
The Pirates also sold Pitcher
Forrest Main to Toronto and
Bob Hall to Seattle.
The only other team in the
National League that was over
the limit was the Cardinals.
They solved the problem by re-
leasing Billy johnson outright.
The third-baseman is a 10-year
man and can make a deal for
himself. Milwaukee cut to "a
men by sending Pitcher Murray
Wall to Toledo.
Holloway Released by the AS.
In the American League, Phil
adelphia released Inf1elder Don
Holloway and sent Pitcher John
Mackinson to Ottawa on 24-hour
recall.
Bill Boyd, the Pacific Coast
Leagues leading hitter last year
with Seattle. was sent down to
Charleston of the American AS
sociation along with Pitcher
Connie Johnson, by the White
Sox.
First Baseman Dixie Upright
will play for Los Angeles and
Pitcher Bob Habenicht will
throw for Charleston. They
started the season with the
Browns.
The Red Sox cut Pitchers Ben
Flowers and Ken Holcombe.
Flowers goes to Baltimore and
Holcombe to Louisville.

Coast League Calls
Meeting to Discuss
Falling Attendance
By the AsSocioted Press

SAN FRANCISCO, May IA
Pacific Coast League directors
meet here today to discuss de-
clining baseball attendance-as
low as 400 fans at some games.
Although Clarence Rowland.
league president. said there's no
cause for alarm, proposals to
split this season and to curtail
radio and television coverage of
games next year may be made.
Maybe that's part of the an
swer." said Paul Fagan. San
Francisco Seals owner. There
is simply too much TV and radio.
We bring our product into the
homes for nothing, and maybe
that's the reason for the sliding
attendance. Maybe we should
stop it all and then the people
who really love baseball will have
to come to the parks to see it,"
A split season would give teams
which got off to a bad start a
chance to make a fight of it in
the second half. Winners of each
half would meet in a playoh.

There's the case of Bob Porter

him, Bob had won four games in
two years while shutting from
Newark to the Yankees to Kan

and back to Kansas City. .
But Harris had been Porterfield' S
boss for a spell while managing
the Yankees and never forgot
Bob's potential. :. Now he's one
of the leagues tougher pitchers.
The Yankees abandoned the
idea that Jackie Jensen would
become outstanding, but Bucky
didn't. Harris latched on to
the blond outf1elder at a time

Antonelli with two out in the

Dodgers handily, something the
Braves did only three times last
