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 McDonald-Mlhalikls feud
was more than aired on Lillard's
weekly wrestling program at
the armory last evening and be
fore it was over McDonald was
worse for wear after the Prince
had tossed him out of the roped
area injuring Sockeye who was
unable to continue.
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. Back
he came only to be quickly
pinnen oy tne mighty Prince.
McDonald asked for a breath
Ing spell but was unable to con
tinue.
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.
The opener was a clean and
fast tussle with Irish Jim Casey
and Pedro Brazil, the South Am

going to a draw. Their first ap-

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.
Fleming, who battered South-i
ern Association fences for a .414
average last season, climbed 16
points last week to become the
greatest threat to the continued
reign of Joe Gordon, New York
Yankees, as the leading batter
in the American league.
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.
The ugliest man in the busi
ness, the noted Swedish wrest
ler who is known as the Swed
ish Angel, will appear at the ar
mory in a few weeks according
to Mack Lillard, local wrestling
promoter. Angel came to Am
erica after the opening of World
War 2 and promises to stir
things up a bit on the weekly
wrestling programs.
BATTING HONORS
Los Angeles, June 30. VP)
Los Angeles continued to grab
top honors in Pacific Coast
league batting in games played

cuit in team hitting and with
three of its players heading the
field in individual slugging.
The Angels team average was

275. Among regularly appear
ing players, veteran Johnny
Moore, with .363 in 56 games:
Eddie Waitkus, -with .334 in 84
games, and Barney Olsen, .331
in 84 games, .pace the league.
