PHILADELPHIA. Aug. 8 — (AP) —A unanimous players‘ vote against reinstatement of catcher Mickey Owen in the National League be- fore his fiveyear suspension is served was reported today by Philadel hia Phlllles.

rhnet er Roy Hitches. who We presents the team in player-man- agement conferences and presided at the session, said the eating. was held in the clubhouse in ad~ vance of today's doublehead .

"We believe that it would be fair to players who remained loyal to American baseball to have Owen come back and be allowed to play, Hughes explained.

“He wanted the big money the Mexicans offered. He had sixweoks to make urp his mind whether he would return to the United States. i-le decided to take the money and remain there.

“Well, as far as we are concerned. he can go back there and stay. We don't intend to make any threat of a strike if he is reinstated but it certainly would be unfair to the rcst of its."
