Gardner Reconsiders Joining Minneapolis Team
NEW LONDON Conn June 6 M Utility infielder Billy Gardner has reconsidered his earlier refusal to report to Minneapolis in the American Asia. Gardner was optioned by the New York Giants last Wednesday on 24 hour recall after the 1954 world champions had gone one over their 25 player roster limit by calling Gail Harris from the Millers. Gardner spent last year with the Giants and had been with them since the start of the 1955 campaign. He insisted he hadn't been given a fair chance to show his wares. He said today his decision to start for Minneapolis this afternoon followed a weekend telephone talk with Manager Bill Rigney of the Millers.
