TAMPA. Fla, March 1.-THE IN
definite suspension" which Presi-
dent Clark {. Grifith, at the request
OF Clyde Milan. yesterday plastered
on Leon Goose" Goslin will be
lifted within 4 few days. probably
Monday morning. and a fine sub
stituted in its place. IL was an
nounced late tonight by Manager
Milan. Even though the suspension
will be lifted in time for him tc
so to work Monday. the former
Sally Lacquer Will not get on light
~. as from the way Milan talked
tonight nc Intands to make the fine
heavy. enough to make Goslin think
twice before he again breaks train
ing rules.
Goslin made his first effort to get
back in the fold late last night. He
met Grifith in the lobby of the hotel
and asked for reinstatement, tell
ing the 'Old Fox" that he was sorry
he had broken the rules, admitting
all the charges. and promising to
attend strictly to business in the
future. Goose" however, didn't
get very far with the Nationals
president.
Grif was still angry. He told the
youngster to make his explanations
TO. Manager Milan; that Milan, not
ne, Was the party who must be con-
suited. and that he. Grifitffih. would
refuse to take any further action
until requested to DO so by Milan.
Goose" worried over his case all
night and was up bright and early
this morning hunting for Milan. He
FOUND the manager just as Milan
was leaving for Plant Field and
the two talked things over on the
way to the park.
Goose Il Sorry.
Evidently Goslin convinced the
Filler that he was sorry for what
had occurred and that it wouldn't
happen again AT any rate he
watched the mornings workout
from the grandstand and appeared
to be in a better frame of mind
than has been the case for the last
forty-eight hours.
Milan stated tonight that he
would announce the date upon
which the suspension will be lifted
tomorrow. He tactfully refused,
however, to name the amount of
the fine nor is II at all likely that
he will announce that fact tomor-
row. The 'scribes were led to be-
lieye. however, that the fine would
be extremely heavy.
"Goslin told me this morning that
he hadn't realized what he was do
ing and that he was sorry" Milan
said tonight. He admitted all the
charges and all he asked for was
reinstatement. He seems to under
stand things differently now, and
since I'm convinced that 1t won't
happen again, I'm giving him an
other chance.
II haven't yet decided when he
will be reipstated. but il will be
within a few days. He understands
that he will be fined. In fact he
asked for a fine instead of suspen-
sion.
= Il don't want to be too hard on
the boy. yet he has to learn that
this club won't get any PLACE unless
we have discipline and as long as
I'm manager. rockies and regulars
alike will obey the rules of the club
or else answer to me.
~Goslin hasn't yet cinched a job
in the outfield. He's a promising
prospect but is utterly useless to
the club unless he's in condition.
I'm trying to be fair to the other
players who get into and keep in
condition as we'll as to Goslin. The
only reason that I have decided to
lift the suspension is that 1 am
convinced he is honestly sorry and
that he won't let il happen again"
Milan Handled Trouble Well.
