When the recruit third basemen

Probing into the Jorgensen back

been signed by Bill Switch, a Dodger
scout, after two years at Sacramento
Junior College. He hit 1886 with
Santa Barbara in the California
League in 1941 before he went into
the Army for a four-year hitch,
Last year with Montreal he batted

opener against the Yankees, with
Southpaw Joe Pate a likely
starter for New York. Sid Hud-

Fifteen OF Washington's II hits
against the Red Sox in two games

Says Chandler, With
Slam al Scribes
~ me Assoeiosed Press

CLEVELAND, April 1S.-The Ma
lions baseball writer's today took
. second look at several fast pitches
tossed In their direction by Base
ball Commissioner A. B. Happy
Chandler.
Belying the nickname tagged on
him during his political days, the
former Kentucky Senator last night
utilized . Cleveland baseball writer's
dinner honoring Indians President
Bill Veeck to throw some Sunday
punches at the writer's who have
| criticized his actions since he took
ONCE 23 months ago.
It have respect for, some Of these
baseball writer's" Chandler de-
clared, ''but I've learned that YOU
don't have to know anything to
write. You just need a pencil, paper
and the time. But they must learn
that they can't make my decisions
for me.
They point out what great
person Judge Lands was. He was
q great man, rugged individualist.
But, unlike the sports writer's, I
am not able to commune with
Judge Lands to determine what
he would have done. make my
own decisions.
During the last two years I have
been doing some catching" the
commissioner observed. That's all
right. II . fellow can't take 1t, he
shouldn't dish 1t out. And I can do
both.
II disavow owing anybody In
baseball anything except the obliga-
tion to see that the game is proper
" run. It makes no difference to
me II my contract Is not renewed.
I've never been without Job.
TITS hard to hit major league
pitching at first but I'm catching on.
And until I call the play, remember,
It's nothing"
Chandler did not specifically
mention Leo Durocher, manager Of
the Brooklyn Dodgers, whom he
suspended for one year, but did re-
mark:
"One writer says I should have
given him only q month, another
says he deserved 80 years."

Joe Di Maggie, anxious to get his
wounded left heel back in shape
and to start producing base hits
for the Yankees, was grumbling and
swearing sincerely in New York yes
terday as he stood outside the bat
ting cage in pregame practice.
"The jerk" he boiled, throwing
sliders at me when all I'm trying
to do is get myself in shape. He's
supposed to be pitching batting
practice, but pitchers are all alike.
They're always trying to get you
out"
The object Of Joe,s wrath, one of
the younger and more ambitious
Yank hurlers, was indeed bearing
down manfully on every pitch, mix
ing his fast ball with q slider that
broke wickedly. Di Maggie Just
had broken one of his favorite bats
on a slider which had taken him
by surprise.

too well that the erstwhile Bombers
need his big bat desperately and the
sooner the better If they are to live
