L Noisy One Also Given $50 Fine After Sunday Fracas Brooks Add to Win List. By Harold Cluura Associated Press Sports Writer. Leo Durocher, chief of the Babbling Brooks, earned the nickname of the All-American Out during his sojourn as a player In the American league but he is just plain "out" as boss of the Dodgers until Thurs day. The Brooklyn mouthpiece, who never says in 10 words what he can say as easily in 1,000, has been fined $50 and suspended for three days by President Ford Frick of the National league for his run-in with the umpires Sun day. But he was within whisper ing distance at Philadelphia last night as the Brooklyns pasted another half game to their Na tional league lead in one of the day s two major league games. Squirms Loudly Seated only 10 feet from the Dodger bench in private box. he squirmed loudly until his charges came through with a six run outburst in the ninth inning to quell the Philadelphia Phils before 8,066 Quakerites, 10 to 3. In that frame the Dodgers batted all the way around to make sure that Ed Head, their rookie hurler, was successful in his fifth attempt to win his sixth game of the season. Action was every bit as con centrated in the American league wnera the Cleveland Indians re tained third place by shellacking the Chicago White Sox, 11 to 8 The Indians collected 17 hits off Lee Ross, Joe Haynes and Pete Appleton while Al Milnar, touched for nine hits and five runs in the first five frames, hurled perfect ball in the final four frames.

Short 1943 Season Sans Training Time Is Tigers' Proposal Detroit, June 30 (JP) The Detroit Tigers came to bat today with proposals that the baseball season of 1943 be reduced by two months and that the south ern spring training program be abandoned. Offering each as a war mea sure. General Manager Jack Zel ler of the Tigers said he would present his ideas to the annual midsummer meeting of the Am erican League Club owners in New York July 8. "One dovetails into the oth er." Zeller said, "with the spring training to be carried on in the park at home during the period which now constitutes the first month of the playing schedule. Under Zeller s plan, the season also would finish a month ear lier. Zeller said he proposed ellm iaaticn of the southern train ing out of a fear that there might be a housing shortage in the south as far as Major Leagu ers were concerned next year in view .f expanding military fa cilities. Furthermore, he said, there should be no lntousion on the army. The Tiger boss mentioned, for example,- that the government was taking over hotels Miami and Miami Beach, Fla., to house air corps trainees. He expressed doubt whether the Tigers" own spring base at Lakeland, Fla., would be available in 1943 be cause the town has become a training center for American and British pilots.

The match started clean but didn't end that way. McDonald used 10 revolutions of the air plane spin, and a few other man euvers to win the first fall with a body press. I In the next period there was a non-too friendly tusslu when Sockeye Jack the Clant-Killer attacked Prince with a stool and i Referee Earl Yoakley came to the rescue. The Prince took the j second fall when he picked Mc l Donald up and tossed him out the ring, hitting Sockeye'a back on the edge of the arena.

It only took Blacksmith GeorRe Craig three rounds to put Broccoli Bob Kruse, out of commission In the second match Although Kruse, the arm-lock expert from Oswego, usually 1 starts the rough stuff, it was the anvil-ringer from Camp White that finished things up in grand style. The first fall came In the first round with a hammerlock fol lowed by Kruse taking the sec ond with a wristlock and a body press to even things and give the crowd a bit of suspense. The third came In the third round when Craig kicked his way out of a wristlock and pinned Kruse with a body press until the sparks flew.

Hot Clevelander Threatens Joe Gordon's Batting Reign New York, June 30. UP) Les Fleming, the pudgy young man from Nashville who inherited the Cleveland first base job, is the hottest thing in major league baseball right now.

While Gordon slipped from .367 to .363, Fleming rapped 12 hits in 18 official trips to the plate for an astounding average of .667 for the week. That bar rage lifted him from fourth in the league race to second with a .346 figure. The Brooklyn pair of Pete Reiser, center fielder, and Joe Medwick, left fielder, continued to dominate the National league although both fell off their pre vious pace. Reiser, boasting an average or 356 a week ago, remains on top with .347 while Medwick holds second with .335. Ernie Lombard!, Boston catch er, and Stan Musial, rookie out fielder for the St. Louis Card inals, both showed big gains for the week, the former climbing to .325 and the latter to .320. pearance in the Monday matches for some time, Casey took the first fall in the third round with three of his famous Killaraney flips. Brazil came back with a body press that finished his four-leaf clovered friend in the fourth round for the second fall.
