MMI tonelii was acquired from the Milwaukee Braves in 1954. "This makes our front-line pitching solid and our second line deeper," Rigney said. "We now have six pitchers with sound arms." Jablonski, 33, batted .230 in 8S games in 1958. His reputation is that of a long ball hitter, but a poor infielder. He returns to St.

Louis where he enjoyed productive seasons in 1953 and 1954, batting in more than 100 runs each year. Choate, 20, was 12-11 last season. He won seven games and lost seven with Omaha of the American Assn. and was 5-4 with Houston in the Texas League. The Giants, who finished third in 1958, were not expected to make liberal use of White or Jablonski.

White has little chance of supplanting Orlando Cepeda, the slugging Puerto Rican first baseman who won the circuit's rookie-of-the-year award.
