AL Owners Veto Browns Transfer
Compiled from the United Press
Baseball men who winced at parently combined in an effort baseball.
That was the interpretation in baseball circles today of the American league club owners' rejection of Veeck's proposal to move the Brown's from St. Louis to Baltimore. The rejection was accompanied by bristling statements from officials, beginning at the top with Commissioner Ford Frick.
As a result of the vote, Veeck is to be forced to operate the Browns in St. Louis—a city which he has stated cannot support two teams and in which he lost $400,000 last season. In addition, Veeck himself admitted "I obviously haven't won any fans
Even before the league club owners revealed their crushing repudiation, there had been little effort to conceal bitterness toward Veeck.
Frick called Veeck's action "hasty and haphazard" and said the present was a "lousy" time to make the proposal even before the vote was

Other bitter comment came from George Trautman, president of the minor league, and Frank Shaughnessy, president of the International league. Trautman charged th at Veeck did not follow correct baseball procedure and Shaughnessy claimed Veeck misled owners when he told them six clubs in the International league supported the move.
Despite the stuming repudiation of Bill Veeck, Lou Perini expressed confidence today that the National league will approve his proposed shift
Bill Veeck's "stunts" for years apo to oust the colorful promoter from ◀
of the Boston Braves to Milwaukee. In sharp contrast to the bitter and angry atmosphere which accompanied the American league's meeting which rejected Veeck's proposed shift of the St. Louis Brownts to Baltimore, the National league owners seemed ready to meet in a calm and sober atmosphere at St. Petersburg, Fla., tomorrow.
Although Perini said he was "very optimistic," of gaining the necessary vote, George Trautman, president of the minor leagues, predicted that the National league would follow the American's lead and reject the proposal and Walter O'Malley, president of the Brooklyn Dodgers, hinted he may cast the one disapproving vote required to inject the proposal under National league rules.
Although there was sentiment that the move might be inadvisable at this time, most of the owners indicated a willingness to listen to Perini and none claimed the Braves' president was "trying to ram something down our throats."
Meanwhile old pros Bobby Shantz and Stan Musial shook off their early spring training doldrums today and flashed their true form for the first time.

Shantz, a 24-game winner and the American league's most valuable player in 1952, turned in his first impressive pitching in the Grapefruit league, while Musial, six-time National league batting champion, flashed his first topnoth hitting form of the spring.
