Since Lane acquired fierce lit tie Pierce from Detroit on Nov. 10, 1943, in an even swap for lumbering catcher Aaron Robin son, he has made an unofficial total of 217 deals involving more than 323 players. Robinson long since has departed from the ma jors, but Pierce, despite his oc casional handicap of a sore arm. has won 79 games with Chicago. Dazzling Duel Pierce, whose return to form is one of, the most encouraging phases of Chicago's strong pen nant fi,ht this spring, turned in one of his greatest triumphs Tuesday night, a three-hit 4-1 victorv at Cleveland in a daz zling duel with rookie lefty Herb Score. It was Billy's third win against two defeats. It was power pitching of the finest sort. There was but one hit on tither side for six innings, a single by Sam Dente of Chi cago. Bob Nieman singled for the first hit off Score in the seventh when each team scored a run. In the eighth Al Carras- quel and Nieman produced Homers to deliver three more runs and assure Pierce'I triumph.

U.R) The I however, that the interview rule Pacific Coast conference, rever sing a decision made last year, has decided to continue spring football. H. P. (Dick) Everest, confer ence spokesman, said the ban was lifted because of the large number of intersectional games played by member teams. The ban was voted at the fall meet ing of the body, but wasn't to take effect until the spring of 1956. Spring practice will remain under present rules allowing 20 days of workouts in any 30 con secutive daj's. In other action yesterday, the second day of the PCC's spring meeting, the conference named three men to an athletic code enforcement board which will hold investigations, call witness es and recommend action to the PCC. Hollis Selected Named to the board were Everest, University of Washing ton faculty representative, for three years; Glenn T. Seaborg, California, two years; and Dean Orlando J. Hollis, University of Oregon, one year. Rixford Sny der of Stanford was named as alternate. The board will be empower ed to handle eligibility and en forcement problems. It was giv en a new set of rules by which it can bar athletes for any per iod, such as six months or a year, instead of for the rest of his academic career. Everest said a special commit tee will be named to make a report at the winter meeting in the San Francisco area on cost-of-living work now allowed ath letes at PCC schools. There is now a $75 monthly limit at $1.50 an hour. Scouting Changes Changes in scouting regula tions were authorized on a one year trial basis so that schools could scout their opponents twice with a man and once by moving picture if they wished. Previously, only three one-man looks had been permitted. The ban on college coaches and staff members watching high school and junior college football games on the campuses of the playing schools was re moved at the afternoon session. Now coaches and staff members can watch those games where ever they are played. Conference members warned, DEGREE FOR FRICK Greencastle, Ind. (U.R) Baseball Commissioner Ford C.
