BALTIMORE (AP) -— Baltimore Orioles. viho had I reputed half million dollars to spend building a winner. Tuesday used some of it for the third time to buy it sub- stitute on a National League team.

Avowedly in the market for a hit- fer. the American League Orioles bought outfielder Cal Abrams from Pittsburgh Pirates for some cash and pitcher Dick Littlefield. Ab rams has appeared in only 17 Pir- ate games and hit a poor .143.

Art Ehlers. Oriole general man- ager. previously had gone to the other league to buy Eddie Waitkus from Philadelphia Phillics and Dave Kosio from New York Giants. Waitkus hasn‘t played since May 8 when he was hitting .170 and Rosie has pitched only 14 1.3 in. nine.

At the start of the lesson, Clair-. ence W.” Miles. Oriole president. announced purchlse of St. Browns included I tax advantage ‘of half it million. "It all win bg plowed back into building up this 5"" Cm”-" 710 SIM. and "over and above that half million. we have I

_ very tidy and substantial figure to

spend this year for new players." The Orioles are hitting .210 as

a team. The Browns were 30 points

The Softball League got away to a fine start with two closely con- tested gamea at Victoria Park. Both contests were decided by one rim. The scores of 4-3 and 7- -6 were low for league openers and speak well for the kind of compe- tition that can be expected in the weeks ahead. The pitchers yester- day were favored somewhat by the strong wind at least in the L.Y.C.- B. Y. C. game whtn several hard hit balls were turned into routine outs on account of the wind re- sistance.

"Exactly what we..psid for.them and put. into them."
