 New York, Aug. 22-(UP)-Fined and suspended for quitting under fire, Wesley Terrell, Boston Red Sox pitcher who draws one of the high- est salerieS in the major leagues, re- turned to Boston today with his baseball future hanging in the bal- Aflcc,
 Joe Cronin, Red Sox manager, in- definitely suspended Terrell and fined him 1i,000-one of the largest fines ever assessed against a player flor walking of the mound during . Yankee rally in the sixth inning of yesterdays New York.BoSton game.
 The 2s year old Greensboro, N. C., pitched, whose flaming temper caused Cleveland to trade him to Boston in May, 1884, threatened to punch Cronin in the jaw when he first learned Of the fine and Bus. pension. But he calmed during the night and carried his case to Tom Yawkey, Red sox owner. At a con- ference jn which Cronin was pres. ent, YaWkey told Terrell,
 "Joe Cronjn iB the base of this bail club. I expect him to run it for iong time to come. I'm backing him to the limit in anything he does"
 After the conference Terrell agreed to return to Boston.
 Every player on the Boston club sided with Cronin. Terrell walked Of the mound with the manager standing on the club house steps yelling, "WegI WesI Wes" Terrell either didn't hear him or dIsregarded him,
 The situation which led to Fer FeIl,g "WaIkout" was; With the score tied 1-i, the Yankees came to bat in the sixth inning, Terrell retired Joe Dimaggio, Then he walked 6ehrIg and DIckey singled, Bcend- ing 0ehEig to third. He retired SelkjTk for the second out, Then Powell hit a spinning grounder to EhortStOp McNajr'B left. Gehrig scored and Fcrrel lexpressed his dIs- approval Of McNaIr'S fielding by gtompjng around the box. He walked LsEZcrj, which brought Pitcher PsATgon to bat. Pearson singled through the box, scoring two runs. Before the play was complete Fer Tcii left the fcId, and walked through the YankeeB' dugout to tho Boston dressing room
 Terrell, who iS said 10 draw 2 salary Of 10000, dressed hastily and left the park without consulting CrOntn, Later, Terrell said hP thought Second BaBeman Oscar McIIIlo waved him out of the game MelIilO was amazed to hear about Fcfrctl'S statement.
 T was running after the ball try. ing to knock jt down." said Nellie. Then I took the relay in from cen- ter field and threw the ball in. Fer. rell was almost of the diamond when I got the ball back. have no authority to tell a pitcher to leave the game"
 Cronin, explaining his drastic action, said;
 T tried to stop Terrell because ! knew what he was letting himself 1n for. He just kept walking when l yelled at him. Great ball players don't walk of the field just because they are losing. wouldn't have said a word to him f he had stuck the game out and lost"
 Despite the suspension Cronin still believes Terrell is one of the greatest pitchers in the game.
 But he'll have to obey orders" said Cronip, "and stay in the box until l take him out. His future is ID to him"
 Before Terrell came to the Red S0X he became involved in several disputes with Manager Peckinpaugh and the owners Of the Cleveland club. Once, in Boston, Peckinpaugh fined Terrell $500 for refusing to leave the field when he ordered him out of the box.
 Only one fine larger than Fer TcIj'S has ever been assessed by manager against 3 player. That was the 5000 fine slapped on Babe Ruth by Miller HugginS for break ing the YankeeS' training rules in 1925. Tn addition, Terrell will draw no salary until he is rcinstated.
