"They were Judgment calls on the part of the officials, and we do not make any comment -on Judgment calls," McNally declared. "They saw it, they called it, and that's the end of it."

The 20 including 13 on the 40-man major league ro6ter will play winter baseball in the Dominican Republic, Venezuela and Puerto Rico. "Tus Is probably the most we've ever had from our organization," director of player personnel Sheldon Bender noted.

They are there to gain more playing time and experience. And in the case of Tony Perez, he will be getting into shape for spring training." Perex, who will play only the final month of the season which concludes In mid-January, is on the roster of the Santurce club In Puerto Rico. Pitcher Wayne Simpson and catcher Bill Plummer will also join Puerto Rico clubs next week. Simpson will pitch for Ponce and Plummer will play for Arecibo.

OutieMer George Foster will also play in the Dominican Republic at Aguilas. Arturo DeFreitas, a third baseman-outfielder recently added to the 40-man roster, Is playing at Estrallas.

I1! the case of Willis end Robinson, Houston sources verified Thursday that "therre almost certain to be our starting offenetve backs." So anxious was coach Bill Peterson to acquire the former Bengals he im-mediately waived one starting back.

Robert Holmes, and also Waived another running back. Ward Walsh, who had been alternating with Hoyle Granger. "Our numbering systems are probably very close to that used at Cincinnati, and Paul and Fred shouldn't have any difficulty picking up the various little things." the Houston spokesman said. Meanwhile, It was learned that Houston held a press conference last Wednesday introduce the two former Bengals, and Robinson "stole the show he really wowed 'em. We think Oiler fans will love both players." Why will Joiner be called on to play so quickly for the Bengals, and why was he so highly sought? American Football Conference statistics released Thursday show part of the reason.

He leads the AFC in average gain per catch, with 16 receptions for 306 yards, a 19.1 yards average. His touchdown on an 82-yard pass play for Houston Is the longest in the AFC this year. With Joiner joining Bob Trumpy and Chip Myers, the Bengals' passing attack now includes three players in the AFC's top 14 receivers. Trumpy has 19 catches for 197 yards, Myers 18 for 266. The 149 yards the Bengals held Los Angeles to last Sunday easily gave them overall defensive leadership In the AFC.

They are No. 1 against the rush and No. 2 against the pass, and are giving up 211 yards per game, the best average in the entire National Football League. The effort against L.A. makes the defeat even harder to bear, especially after what Brown revealed Thursday.

In a post-practice press conference, asked specifically If he had talked to Art McNally, supervisor of officials for the National Conference about the game films, Brown said "if you ask me, yes."
