the 1961 baseball scene today
but there's also an old look
because Leo Durocher's in hot

Their most faithful fans
couldn't have foreseen the
Twins and Giants at their
current levels so early while
the question with Durocher
is how it took him so long to
net into his familiar position,
It all came about on the
snow, rain and wind-plagued
first Sunday of the season
when:
-The Twins' whipped the
Baltimore Orioles. 10-5 and
6-4 in 11 innings, to take a
half-game grip on first place
In the American league.
, -The Giants ' downed the
Philadelphia Phillies, 5-2, and
went a half-game ahead in the
National league.

Shin Kicking Gets
Leo Into Trouble
By JOE ST. 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.
