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.

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.

he defeated Texas’ John Eschle in
the two-mile run. Johnson owns
two varsity letters but the dis-

yet to put in an outstanding show
until the Austin meet this year.
Thad Crooks set a new A&M

second in the race. Crooks turned
in a. 1:50.2, which shaves over a
