General Manager George
Selkirk admitted today that a
surprising number of Senator'S
contracts are being returned
unsigned, but he did not appear
overly concerned.
Selkirk announced the sign

Stillwell, Ed Brinkman and
Dalton Renfroe. All three
played In the Florida Instruc-
tional League, although Still
well did not complete the g.
week season because Of a knee
injury.
Brinkman is the Senator's
top bonus player, while Still
well brought one Of the highest
bonus prices when they were
signed two years ago.
Brinkman still is a solid can
didate for the shortstop job

HANDICAP HALVED

PEBBLE BEACH, Calf, Jan.
18 (AP).-Little Albie Pearson,
the Los Angeles Angels out
fielder who helped Pro Golfer
Bob McCallister win the Bing
Crosby pro-amateur title last
year, is knocking a bag full of
strokes off McCallister's score
again this year despite losing
half his handicap.
Pearson saved II strokes on
the teams score yesterday as
they opened play in the $4,000
Crosby tournament with a best
ball 81.
1t was a far cry from their
SO in last years opening round,
but with McCallister, of On
tario. Calf, slipping to a 78,
on the Monterey Peninsula
Country Club course, Pearson
could not make up the entire
margin.
The 5-foot-6 ballplayer. who
golfs lefthanded. plays this year
with a 5 handicap. He Snuck
in with a 10 last year and left
a wake of muttering opponents
as he and McCalhster walked
off with the winners award
with a 72-hole best-ball score
of 255.
Pearson picked up six of his
teams strokes yesterday on
four Of the holes where he
enjoyed a handicap stroke. He
fired legitimate brides on three
of the final six holes and had
IL pars on the round. Total
scores for amateurs are not
posted since they sometimes
pick up after their partner has
holed out.
But I'd estimate / had about
a a." Pearson said. He re-
fused to feel badly about losing
half his handicap.
Pearson showed he could put
baseball to work in golf when
McCallister lined up an off
the-green putt on the sixth
hole and guessed the pin was
nearly so feet away.
NO" interrupted Pearson.
I've seen so feet 6 inches too
often, and you're outside of
it," Albie was referring to the
distance between the pitching
rubber ara home plate.
Crosby's tournament has two
divisions. In one, the individ-
ual pros battle for $35,000 in
prizes. In the other, the pro
teams with an amateur in best
ball play in which the score on
each hole is the lower of the

He has never tried l6 feet

There is the possibility, of
course. that Belitza could lose
his NCAA eligibility by partic-
ipating in the AAU-sponsored
meets, although that seems un-
likely at the moment.
Il don't know" Belitza says.
"The school has told me we
made commitments In good
faith and they've told me I
could compete"
"As I understand IT," Kehoe
says, "the NCAA has made no

- Fred Haney, whose shrewd

The Angel general manager

clubs ability.

Some of the clubs ran into
unusual trouble" Haney said.
''Detroit lost AL Kaline and

This year I'm afraid Of
Boston, too, and If Kansas City
can get any kind of pitching

If we get into the first division,

we can finish third again."
