The suit was Owen's answer to n $127,500 breoch-of-contract suit which Pasquei filed against him when the SO-yearold ' baliplayer “jumpcd" the Mexican League hut August.

Mel 0tt May Equal Record Cobb, Anson

NEW YORK. Jan. 14 - (AP) —- If Mel Oti. sturdy little manager of New York Giants. should decide to defer hanging up his spikes for another year, he will equal the rec- ord of Ty Cobb and Cap Anson of having played 22 consecutive years with one club.

Already the only National Lcague player of this century to plny more than 20 years wlth- the’ same club. Ott hinted while here on a visit last week that he was seriously thlnkinfl 0! dropping his name from the active list.

Mel's actual career as n Giant started in 1926. when the talented ymmgstei- hit him-best average of hi; career-in 35 games as a nirv-‘h hitter and extra. outfielder. He was with Giants in 1926. but didn't get into any games.

Cobb performed with Detroit Tigers from 1905 through 1926 and Anson was on Chicago's first Na- tionai League team i.n 1876 and played with White Stodcings. later called the C0115 through 1897.

Oil played regularly until last y r when an injury on opening day forced his semi-retirement as tm active player. At 38. he sllil cgn pltty in _.spots with sufficient rest.
