Sfage ft '' m WW' ColTpgp Station, Texas Wodnnsflny, May 1f)b3 THE BfiTTOION AT AUSTIN Thinclads Take Second A&M’s track squad, both varsity and freshmen, traveled to Austin last Thursday and collected (>1 points to end up second in the Texas-Itice-A & M triangular. The Longhoi'ns put together 82*•> coun ters to cop first and the Owls were left on the bottom of the list with 25V->. Coach Charlie Thomas’ Ag’gies placed in all but three of the 16 varsity events and took firsts in six of them. The hijrhlifrht of the meet was Fringe Baseballers Sweat As Cutdown Day Approaches NEW YORK CP*—Fringe ball players tiptoe past the general manager’s office these days. They are especially nice to the boss’ secretary. When they go home they leave the phone off the hook. Tf they’re on the road, they tell the desk to cut off all calls. The reason for this retreat into the shadows is the imminence of the cutdown day. . .that fatal day when the big leagues ti'im the fringe. For the first 20 days of the sea son, each major league club is allowed to carry 28 players. From the 81st day through Aug. 81 the limit is 25. The rest of the time it is 40. That is why you see these bulging rosters at spring training time. Although four teams start ed a dav early, April 9, Commis sioner Ford Frick’s office has de creed midnight, May 9 as the dead line. Herb Score was one of the fringe men, teetering on the edge, until the Chicago White Sox sent him out to Indianapolis Monday. Many of those who will go out are anonymous characters, un known to most readers, but Score was something special because of that day five years ago when he was hit by Gil McDougald’s line drive. Tracy Stallard may be an un familiar name to some. But it never will be forgotten by "Roger Maris. Stallard is the young man who earned an unenviable place in the record books by throwing the ball that Maris hit for his Gist home run last October 1. Although Stallard appeared in 48 games last year and had a 2-7 record, he had pitched only one inning for Bos ton this year when Manager Mike Higgins sent him to the Seattle farm in the Pacific Coast League. Billy Muffett, once a relief pitch er of great promise, also was shipped out to Seattle while the Sox sold left-handed pitcher Ted Wills to the Cincinnati Reds.
