Trim Rosters to Player
By TIM MORIARTY
United Press Sports Writer
A host of players on 10 major
league teams today probably
felt like a traffic violator wait
ing for a patrolman to hand him
a summons.
Six clubs already have trim
med their rosters to the requir
ed 25-player limit, a United
Press survey revealed, but' 18
more heads will roll before the
cutdown deadline at midnight
Wednesday.
In the National league, the
Cubs, Pirates, Giants and Phil
lies completed transactions on
Monday that enabled them to
square away their rosters 43
hours ahead of time. The Card
inals still must cut three play
ers, the Braves are two over the
limit, while the Dodgers and the
Redlegs each have' one pink slip
to hand out.

Chico Vejar Doesn't Mind Being Billed As Underdog,

MAIL TRIBUNE
The Tigers and the Athletics
are the only American league
teams not faced with roster
trimming worries. The Senators
and the Indians each must cut
three players, the White Sox are
two over, and the Yankees, Red
Sox and Orioles one each.
Senators Beat Bosox
, Only one game was played in
the majors Monday the Sen
ators downing the Red Sox, 5-3,
in a night game at Boston. This
off day some of the clubs to get
a jump on the cutdown deadline.
The Giants reached the 25-
player limit by dumping four
men and purchasing right-handed
pitcher Stu Miller from Min
neapolis in the American associ
ation. Southpaw John Windy
McCall was sold to San Fran
cisco of the Pacific Coast league;
pitcher Gordon Jones was op
tioned to Minneapolis, and out
fielder Bill Taylor and catcher
infielder Bobby Hoffman were
released outright to the same
club.
The Cubs purchased two in
fielders picking up Bobby
Morgan from the Phillies and
acquiring Jack Littrell from
Portland of the PCL. At the
same time, first baseman Ed
Mickelson and infielder Ed Win
ceniak were sold to Portland;
pitcher Dave Hillman was op
tioned to the same club, and out
fielder Bob Lennon was released
to San Diego in the PCL.
Robinson On Block
Waivers on first baseman Ed
Robinson were asked by the De
troit Tigers who will have to
release another player by May
25, when second .baseman Frank
Boiling's national service ex
emption expires. It is believed
another infielder will be sold
or traded by then. ,
The Phillies reached the legal
limit when Morgan was sold to
the Cubs, while the Pirates did
the same by selling southpaw

Chuck Lybeck of Wenatchee
led the pitchers with 3 victor

and in complete games with 3.
"Sure, I'll be an underdog
again Tuesday," Vejar shrugged.
"So what? It gives me another
chance to prove myself."
And the battle to prove him
self always rages in the heart
of Chico Vejar the "little guy"
who never is supposed to have
a chance.
"I'm only .25 but after eight
years I know what it is like to
be a winner or loser in this bus
iness," he said with his straight
forward intensity. "And I
learned this life loves a winner.
After you've lost a couple of
fights nobody seems to know
you."
Diction Contrast to Face .
Vejar's diction is faultless and
clear, a marked contrast to a
rugged face which sports scar
tissue above the eyes and a nose
belted to one side.
And just like the fighter in
"Golden Boy," whose first love
was the violin, Vejar is equally
smitten by the theater. He is in
the midst of a course in dramat
ics at New York university and
intends to stay with it until he
gets a degree.

Italy May
Act on Races
Rome (IP) The outgoing cabi
net of Italian Premier AntoYiio
Segni today was considering a
proposal calling for a "revision"
of all road-racing in Italy, includ
ing closed circuit events.
Horrified by the death of 13
persons in Sunday's Mille Miglia
race, Italy's minister of trans
port, Armando Angelini, made
his recommendation to the cabi
net's inter-ministerial committee
for automobile racing.
The minister's proposal is ex
pected to be accepted by the
racing committee and could lead
to a total ban on the Mille Miglia,
which has a 27-year history of
bloodshed.
too much," Vejar said. "When
I hang 'em up, though, I may
try and become a regular actor."
At NYU he has appeared in
such campus productions as
"Golden Boy," and "Mr. Rob
erts" plus several musicals as
well as scenes from Shake
speare. He also studies at an ac
tors' workshop in New York.
Applause Helps A Lot
"I have never felt any stage
fright," Vejar said with a grin.
"In fact, I found that applause
helps me along a lot."
If Chico can't cut it as an ac
tor when he is through fighting,
he said he would like to go into
public relations but not in the
sports field.
"It would have to be in some
pnase or industry. That way l
could prove to myself that I
could make a complete change
he said.
In the meantime, he hopes to
convince himself that he can be
come a middleweight champion
someday although he is fatalis
tic in that respect.
"Even if I beat Giambra there
are eight or nine other guys
ahead of me waiting for shots
at the title," Vejar admitted.

Bailey May
Quit Track
After Meet
Eugene (W Jim Bailey, the
Australian Olympic miler and
member of the University of Ore
gon track team, may quit the
track after the Pacific Coast
Conference track championships
this weekend in Eugene.
Bailey came back from the
Olympics last year with a dis
placed bone in his foot and treat
ment has not healed the foot
enough for Bailey to come close
to his record time of 3:58.6 in
Los Angeles when he beat fellow
countryman John Landy.
The foot hurts Bailey when he
runs and only last week he
placed second to Oregon team
mate Jim Grell in the Northern
Division track championships.
Bailey, who is accustomed to
running on a grass track, only
runs on the cinder track when
he is running in competition.
Another reason for Bailey's
consideration of giving up the
sport is his age and other re
sponsibilities. He is 24, married, and resides
in Eugene. When he graduates in
June from Oregon he will no
longer have any competition to
run against. Track and field
clubs are not prominent in the
Northwest and Bailey wishes to
remain in Oregon and raise a
family.
Besides the PCO track cham
pionships coming up, Bailey may
give the mile one last whirl and
enter the NCAA meet at Austin,
Tex., June 14-15.

the sixth in a row tor Richmond.
Columbus rallied for six runs
in . the eighth inning to beat
Miami, 10-7, and oust the Mar

Class A ball, hit a grand-slam
homer as the Jets overcame a
6-4 disadvantage.
A home run by John Roseboro
proved the decisive hit as Mon

against two losses for the Royals
while Glenn Cox suffered his
first loss after two wins.
Toronto and Rochester were

Brown-haired Archer, a West

Archer, registering his 11th
consecutive victory, weighed
146 pounds to DiBiase's 148,
