AMANT Los Angeles - (UPD - Base ball's Leo Durocher is in trouble again today - but this time they're calling him Leo the Toe instead of Leo the Lip. Leo proved once again Sun day that you can't win an ar gument with an umpire when he got into a shin-kicking duel with Jocko Conlan who, like Durocher, seems to have a low boiling point. Duroch er kicked Conlan at least once in the shins and the umpire held his own with counter-kicks. Durocher joined the Dodg ers as a coach this season after a five-year absence from bascbnll during which he claimed he had been "black balled." . The beef started when Jocko - umpiring behind the plate In the Pittsburgh Pi rate Dodger game - called foul on- a pop fly by Dodg er first baseman Norm Lark- er in the fourth inning. Pi rate catcher Hal Smith almost had his hands on the ball but he missed it and it dropped into fair territory about three yards down in the first base line and bounced foul. The Dodgers claimed Smith's glove touched the ball and Larker romped all the way to second base. Manager Walt Alson led a contingent of Dodgers from the dugout to protest. Com parative quiet had been re stored when Conlan walked over to the. dugout and thumbed Durocher out of the game. Conlan said Leo threw a towel out of the dugout. Dur ocher denied) this later, say ing he throw a towel but it threw both- a towel and a helmet out of the dugout. He admitted this. He walked out, he said, to find out why Con lan was ejecting him and aft er they jawed a bit Duroch er, about three feet from the umpire, kicked the dirt in his direction, r ' Most press box observers believed Durocher made no physical contact with Conlan on that first kick. But Conlan indicated he believed other wise. He hauled off with a smart kick that connected with Durocher's right shin. Durocher countered with a kick to Conlan's right shin. The four other umpires in the game rushed to the spot and , separated Conlan and Durocher.
