The owner of the Milwaukee Braves_ Lou Perinl has re- fused to confirm or deny that he was a participant in a recent secret meeting to discuss the chance of bringing another major league team to New York City and the expansion of both major leagues to ten clubs each.

A New York sports colunmist, Red Smi(r.'h_ wrote that Perini had met with Parks commissioner Robert Moses, chair-main William Shea of the mayor’s baseball committee and two other unidentified persons.

Smith claimed that all except Perini were bound to silence but Lou might just as well have been because when asked for a statement he had no comment whatsoever.

The New York columnist that Perlnl arranged the meetlngandtoldthosepi-esenttlhattheleaguewouldprobably be ready to add extra teams in 1960 or 1961. He is supposed to have agreed with a suggestion that each current member sell three players to form a pool for the new clubs. other players would come from the minors.

Smith maintains that Perini asked if there were sponsors in New Yornk who would put up $3.5(X),000 for Players if a $12,- 000,000 Flushlng Meadows stadium was completed. Asked how he arrived at that figure, according to Smith, he said each player would cost close to $100,000.

Smith said Moses and his colleagues then began to figure that for four new clubs to buy 32 players each at $100,000 apiece would cost $12,800,000. Split up among 16 clubs this would give each present owner $800,000.

“This, Perliui was told. was just nnotlierscheim to enrich unfairly the men who now c‘ont:i'ol the. gains, "Smith wrote.

When we did this column Pittsburgh was only 4% games be- hind ti‘ league leading world champion Milwaukee Braves. A combination of pretty fair pitching and some solid base hitting has kept the Pirates of Danny Murtaugh right in the thick of the National League race.

0 Danny has some better than average ball players and he is doing a fine job of getting the most out of them. He likes all his players and it seems that they all like Danny-a migibty help- ful situation.

However Danny recently went overboard for his second baseman Bill Mazeroski. Here’: how he expressed his feelings about one-half of his double play combination:

“Without knowing much about the other league I venture to say that Bill Mazeroski is a leadpipe cinch to become Mr. Sec- ond Base. 1 make this statement knowing full well that we have two or three more good ones in the National league, starting with Red Schoendienst. Remember that Mazeroski is only 21 and in but his third year of professional baseball. He has baseball in- telligence, tremendous desire and exemplary habits. Remember what I'm telling you. Mazeroski was molded to do the unusual. Like coming out of the army and starting off batting .314 with- out the benefit of spring training.”

* )1: it it I

We have been beefing about the inability of the rest of the American League to cope with the New York Yankees. Yesterday we ran across an item that was doing just about the same thing. The author was supposedly a New York Yankee but his name was wi-theld.

He moaned in this fashion: ‘‘It’ had enough that we have

all the players. What makes it worse for the other teams is that,

they press so bad against us. Take a game we played in Chicago recently. Jim Rivera gets to first base and Ron Jackson is up. We try to pick Rivera off first. He is three runs behind and he is taking big leads, well, Marv Thinonebenry at first drops the throw. The ball goes a couple of feet past What does Rivera do? He starts for second. Marv picks up the ball and throws him out. Then Jackson hits the wall in left but nobody was on base. ’I'hey’re three runs behind and they gamble to take one base. Truly spoken. ‘ O O O I 0

Philip K. Wrigley, owner of the Chicago Cubs and the man who still insists that baseball was never intended to be played under the lights, says he wouldn't be surprised if the National

League expanded from eight to ten teams for next season. And A

he adds that the league doesn’t need New York.

Wrigley admits that the fly in the ointment i-s where are the players going to come from. “Major league players always have been a select group.” Wrigley states. —

‘This has discouraged many ygangsters from taking up base ball as a profession. But if we expand it will mean there’s more room at the top and it should make baseball more attractive to youngsters” he concludes.

Wnlgley a little more than a year ago cleared the way for the Brooklyn Dodgers to switch to Los Angeles when he traded his Coast league club there for the Dodgers Fort Worth fran- chise in the Texas league. It was an even trade but in separate transactions the Dodgers bought Wrigley Field in Los Angeles for $2,000,000.

World Series fever in June. "

That's right and the spot where it is raging is in the west coast city of San Francisco, the home of the Giants.

Bill Rigney’s charges are showing surprising strength and are having a game of “your turn-my turn” with Milwaukee as far as holding the National League lead is concerned.

Roy “Tiger” Steele won a un- animous decision over Summer- side’s Bud Ramsay lad night in a 10-round main bout that was considered by many fans as the best fight ever seen ,at Civic Stadium in Summerslde. Steele floored'~Ra.~msay with a right to the head early in the second round, and Bud had difficulty fending odf the Tiger tor the rest of the 3 - minute session. Steele won the first three rounds by wide margins, But Ramsay, boxing cautiously and cleverly, fought to almost even terms by the end of the eighth round.- Steele settled the issue in the ninth, sending Ramsay down for another 8-count and he was in full charge for the remainder of the fight.

Willis Hennessey's Rollaway Aces are in second spot in the City Softball League today.

The Aces gained the runner- up position with a thrilling 5-4 victory over the league leading Barrys Lions last evening at Victoria Park's Old Diamond.

The Rollaway crew did it the hard way, coming up with two runs in the seventh to hand the league leaders their first defeat in four contests.

Barry’: jumped into I 1-0 lead in the first inning and made it stand up till the third when the Aces ‘sent three runners scam- pering across home plate. The Lions made t 3-2 in their half of the same ning and knotted matters on a 3-3 basis with a single tally in the fourth. In the sixth the Lions went in front

Irving Rogers of Borden won another close decision trom Wen- dell Oliver oi Aliberton, this time the judges splitting their decis- ion-s, and all with only one point between the two boys. Rogers took the lust round of the rous- ing sorap, but Oliver used a very effective jaib to edge his rival in the next two rounds. Then Rog- ers fighting his way inside the superior reach of Oliver, scored heavily, especially in the fourth.

A little gamester from Tignish named Roger Chaisson won a split decision over Donnie Arsen- ault of Summenside in the cur- tain-raiser. The boys slugged it out toe to toe on occasion, with Chaisson usually getting in the most blows.

Emmett Tr-ainor refereed the curtain-raiser and the semi-final Wiif M-coluskey was third man in the ring for the special Oliver-Rlogers 6-round go and the final.
