YANKS NAME HIM LIPPV Llppy -the nickname was pinned on Durocher during his first traln- inz trin with the Yankees as Dodder pilot became Exhibit "A" in the art of utnnirc baitine. and his run-ins with the men in blue result i ed in fines and brief suspensions al- mo:-t too numerous to enumerate. A nuick check, however, revealu his fines totaled at least $1100 dur ine hts career as Dodder manaxer, with an occasional five-day sus pension tossed in for good measure. His on-the-field activities and misadventures were accepted as part of the game as he played it, and his fervid desire to win. His real trouble besan In 1945, when he was indicted on a second degree assault charge in connection with an atiaok on a fan at Ebbets Field. He was acquitted of the charge. BAC KED I P BY RICKEY During this hectic Brooklyn career the club had changed hands, the scholarly, sedate Branch Rickey taking over the presidency as Mac-Thail lpft, to re-enter the army. Later MacPhnil Joined the Yanks. There was much .speculation as to how the fiery, boisterous pilot would get along with the subdued and businesslike Rickey, but Rickey stuck by the manager he had inherited from the MacPhail regime, and last year was rewarded with a team that finished the regular season in a tie with the Cardinals, losing out in the playoffs. Durocher's troubles in California the past winter failed to shake the faith of Rickey, who chose to overlook Leo's "difficulties involving his marriage to Laraine Day, a motion picture actress and the consequent disturbing publicity, Leo was renamed manager for this year at a salary reported to be tops In managerial ranks. TIIK LAST STRAW The defamation of character charge brought before Commissioner A. B. Chandler by MacPhail apparently was the one straw too many heaped on the troubled man whose woes had been piling up rapidly over the past few months. The commissioner heard the charges, and took the drastic action, making it clear that the action was based not alone on the one individual case but on the snowballing of publicity which he deemed not conducive to the welfare of the game. :c - - it - V J&C- -i"r'4 Hastings Takes Tourney Opener Naulty A.

Like the other Philadelphia flippers, Marchildon improved every time out in the Florida exhibitions, allowing 13 runs on 27 hits in 32 innings and leading in strike outs with 18. Four of the hits and two of the earned runs allowed by the former Royal Canadian Air Force flier came in the first two innings of the Mack" final Florida tiff with big league competition, against the Pirates at Miami Beach. But after that Marchildon did not yield a hit, retiring the Bucs one-two-three over the last six rounds i-or the third successive day the A s lambasted their Savannah farmhands today, batting around in the fifth and eighth during the course of a 20-2 sleigh ride.

"This could not be considered as an act designed to engender a friendly feeling between two major clubs, and the commissioner will not expect its repetition in the future," he said. o 7 O 4 8 I 3 S r p l 15 O Connor t 1 1 Turner. f 2 1" Tv!or a IS Simrt.rman.l n 3 Porth 0 H 111 TotnH Halltlinr: 23 S B4 Totl H?inrv 24-9 Clirisinn Y M C A Phlln r. f. p Bu'ler f 4 S 13 Boll.f Robinson. f 1 1 .T iinltn f Whtn1on,c 2 3 7 Oi in brid,t Brown 4 2 10 WHKire UmmiM 12 4 w niTtnpmn.K n a 32 Magill to Coach VFMA Baseball Captain Edward A.

Y.; Wife Postpones Return Other developments and comments in l'affaire Durocher: LARAINE DAY. Hollywood actress bride of Durocher, sent out word from their New York hotel room to reporters that she couldn't see anyone, but if anything had to be written about her "I do hope you'll say something nice." When Durocher came to the room, he flatly refused to say anything to newsmen. Mts Day, who is said to be clue in Hollywood Friday to finish an interrupted picture, canceled her plane reservation for last night and booked passage for tonight. She said Leo would remain in New York. LARRY MACPHAIL, president of the Yankees, had "absolutely nothing to say" in New York, but has scheduled a press conference today. WILL HARRIDGE, president of the American League, in Chicago, said he had no comment. "That -was a club matter," said he, "and the league is not Involved." CONNIE MACK, veteran manager of the Athletics, said in Savannah, Ga.: "Yes. it's hard on Durocher. but I can offer no comment, because I am not acquainted with the facts." BEN CHAPMAN, manager of the Phillies, expressed the opinion in Chattanooga, Tenn.. that the loss of Durocher will make the Dodgers "just another ball club; maybe a sixth-place team." Most of the players, who have no love for Leo, applauded the suspension. K. B. WILSON,' editor of the Brooklyn Eagle, announced that Jhe Durocher column would not be printed any more. W ALTER ML'LBRV, National Baseball Commission secretary-treasurer, in Cincinnati, interpreted the suspension as allowing Durocher to attend all baseball games and to associate with any players off the field. CLARK GRIFFITH, president of the Washington Senators, had only this to say in Washington: "lct "cm fight it out among themselves. There's nothing I can say about, it." JOHNNY COONEY, coach of the Boston Braves, handling the team in the absence of Manager Billy South- worth, was elated, and so was the team, when they heard the news in Columbus, O. Remarked Cooney: "It won't hurt our chances any Pitcher Mort Cooper predicted Ray Blades would be named manager. BILL VEECK, president of the Cleveland Indians, remarked in his Cleveland office: "The commission er had all the facts and evidence presume he did what he thought was necessary." . LOU nOL'DREAU, manager of the Cleveland Indians, whose learn piny ed the New York Giants yesterday in Hickory, N. C, ventured the close to-the-vest comment, "I have only met him on the field a couple of times and know nothing about him.' MEL OTT, Giants pilot, inter preted the commissioner's "silence edict" even more strictly. When ask ed for comment on Durocher. he re plied: "I'm sorry as heck Whitey Lockman (Giants' outfielder) broke his leg yesterday." JOHN CRISTIAN, the Dodgers' fan who came out second best in an under-the-grandstand brawl with Durocher two seasons ago and charged him with assault in a court action, gleefully remarked, "Durocher opened his mouth once too often. I'll bet the umpires are breathing sighs of relief." THE AMERICAN VETERANS' COMMITTEE made the only public statement attacking the ruling. Its Rugby Chapter, meeting in Brooklyn last night, said: "While Durocher was open to criticism, this was offset by his . . . entertaining troops and his support of the right, of Negroes to play in organized baseball. The suspension hurt baseball." EBBETS FIELD. Brooklyn, had a "Game Called Off" sign yesterday at noon, shortly after the news broke. The club's announcement said, pointedly, "The game has been called off because of the weather and for no other reason." Louis M. Bobbitt Dies; Owner of Prize Dogs WINSTON-SALEM. N. C, April 9 (AP.).
