Player Limit Deadline Is At Midnight • I New York. May 19—(CPI— Ten of the 16 big league clubs still were obliged today to deliver “the tin kindest cut of sil" before midnight In order to meet the deadline for the fS’piayer limit Hix teams—the Chicago White flox. Washington Senators. Boston Red Sox. Philadelphia Athletics, Pittsburgh Pirates and New York Giants —already were within the 25 player limit. The Giants did their axe-wield-ing last* night by rending second baseman Bobby Blattner to Jersey Citv of the International league on 24-hour recall and transferring pitcher Jack Hallett to th* Indianapolis Indians of the American AxMM'iation. Os the 10 clubs which will have to out unconditional releases and options, the Detroit Tigers and Boston Braves were faced with the most perplexing problems. Each had 29 player* or three over the legal limit. The Braves cut their squad from 29 to 29 yesterday when they sent right handed pitcher Ed Wright to their Milwaukee farm in the American Association on 24-hour option. Wright, used principally in relief since coming to Boston in 1945. won three and lost three wth the Braves last season. Detroit cut two players from its squad yesterday by sending pitcher Ruffus Gentry and outfielder Ed Mlerkowicg back to the minors. Gentry, who has been up with the Tigers three times, was released to the Buffalo Bison* just on his 3oth Birthday, while Mierkowicz. also no stranger in the motor city, was sent to Seattle of the Pacific Coatt league. The Bengal* also are expected to farm out catcher Joe Erautt. • Charlie Grimm's Chicago Cubs found themselves with two extra players despite their sale of pitcher Paul Erickson to the Philadelphia Phillies yesterday. By taking on Erickson, the Phillies now are forced to dispose of another player. Cleveland, like the Cubs, also wax two players over the limit as were the St. Igiuls Cardinals. The last-place Chicago White Sox moved within the 25-player limit when they optioned outfielder Jerry Scaia to the Memphis Chickasaw* of the Southern asso- - elation and the Boston Red Sox I also came within the legal limit I two days ago when they optioned pitcher Ellis (Cot) Deal. Cincinnati, the Brooklyn Dodgers. St. Ixiuis Browns and New York Yankees each showed 26 players on their squad. The Reds actually had 27 players but catcher Ray Mueller, who suffered a fractured ankle a month ago. cur rently is on the inactive list. The Browns probably will farm one of their pitchers to the minors while the Yankees were expected to lop off either pitcher Tom Byrne or pitcher Frank Hiller. - - G A single engineer and two asslstants‘operate the ‘pushbutton’’ engine room which control* the complicated machinery of the moton<hip Batory of the Gdynia America Line.

Moore, who Is secretary of the league and chairman in charge of ' new franchises, said the league ex- ’ pecta to pick up three new teams, and operate as a 10-team loop. He said that ’’ihere was some' 1 talk about the national league 1 bringing a lot of lawsuits” after ’ Minneapolis. Rochester.

The two leagues can operate side- ‘ by-side just as peacefully in the I future, as they have in the past, he ’ said, although they will end the ■ practice of joint player drafts.
