Russia refused early considera-

For months Russia delayed a con.
ference with the II other major
allies on the satellite peace treaties.

be in complete concord before they

Russia has declined to report on
her actions in the kussian occupa-

explanation, although the Potsdam
agreement said the four occupying
powers would seek common policy.
/ Russia has refused the other three
occupying powers free travel in her
zone.
Russia has insisted on $4,000, ,oo0,-

the other three powers consider too
large. Russian delegates stress the
tremendous damage done to Russia
by the Axis armies.
6. Balkan difficulties:
Russia agreed at Yalta to consult
with Britain and the United States
on policy in the Balkans, and prom
ised free elections. She has con-
suited on only a few issues after
pressure from the United States
and Britain. Russian diplomatic
pressure continued in the Balkan
countries until all except Greece
had Comn1unist-dominated govern

Russia specifically agreed to free
and unfettered elections" for Poland.
When the Polish "left" exerted non
democratic election pressures the
United States asked Britain and
Russia to join in protest. Russia
refused saying a protest would be

NEW YORK, May 23.-President
Larry MacPhail of the New York
Yankees denied today that he had
issued q "fly or else ultimatum to
his players, but confirmed the fact
that he had fined six players for
failure to cooperate in promotion
and nom baseball activities.
Because they failed to leave bat
ting practice to have their pictures
taken with soldiers and WACS
modelling proposed new style Army
uniforms, Joe Di Maggie was fined
500, the first fine of his career as
Yankee, and Charley Keller and
Aaron Robinson were docked lesser
amounts.
MacPhail, describing the fines as
a way to LAY down the law in
way the players would understand,
almost boiled over at hearing reports
that players who refused to fly with
the club on the next Western trip
would be required to pay their own
railroad fare.
mo one on our ball club ever has
been told that he has to fly. Nor
will any one ever be told that
he must fly" MacPhail asserted.
Players who prefer to make trips
by train may do so at any time"
The Yankee president refused to
take the fining of the players very
seriously. Il haven't received any
squawks at all from the players
fined" he said.
Johnny Lindell, often mentioned
in off season trade stories, drew the
MacPhailian wrath for allegedly ad-
vising the younger players to skip"
banquets and Don johnson, a rookie
pitcher, was fined because he paid
attention to Lindell Frank Shea.

the Detroit Tigers in his last start,

Calvin Coolidge, youngest hig h

high baseball title, from Griffith

The Colts beat Eastern, 30, for

Accurate Golf Makes

In PhiIIy Meet
By The Asseeicted Press

PHILADELPHIA, May 23.--Stocky
Johnny Palmer surveyed rainsoaked

today and opined in a cautious Caro-
lima drawl he hopes to do pretty
good" in the fourth annual Phila-
delphia Inquirer inyitational tour
nament.
Off early in the throngT of 102
entrants in the 72-hole, three-day
scramble for $4,000, the former
Army Air Forces tailgunner looked
to many in the first tee crowd to be
good dark-norse prospect. De-
spite the presence of Dustin Ben
Hogan, Jim Demaret and nearly all
of the other top money winners, the
Palmer hackers figured his chances
better than fair.
Pouring rain that forced post
ponement of the opening round until
today had left the course so water
logged the experts virtually were
unanimous on the preference for
accuracy over distance. Palmer
hackers pointed out this was his
speciality and Johnny himself ad-
mitted he's been hittin' pretty well
off the tee"
The quiet 28-year-old golfing
sophomore from Badin, N. c., wasn't
making any extravagant predictions.

Al Short Helps Keep

PHILADELPHIA, May 23-No
glory grabber is the Mats shortstop,
Mark Christman, but in the short
period he has been performing for
the washington baseball club he
has kindled growing respect for
his ability. He has been no sensa-
tion, but his steadiness has charmed
the Mats followers.
There goes a good ball player, |"
remarked Detroit's veteran out.
fielder, Doc Cramer, at Christman
trotted by the other night at Grifith
Stadium when the Tigers were In
Washington. He isn't spectacula
and he won't knock down many
fences. but he'll give Washington
consistent fielding and he'll hit
when it counts
Cfristman hasn't been hashy, but
his smooth brand of fielding Is re-
hected in the fact that he has been
charged with only three errors in
the Mats rs games. Over stretch
of II games he fielded f1awlessly
and was challenging the American
League record of IS errorless games
held jointly by Joe Cronin and
frankie Crosetti until he unleashed
a wild throw over Mickey Vernon's
head.
Marks Throwing Impressive.
Christman's throwing is one of
the beauties Of his shortstop play,
for Mark is accurate in his tosses
to Jerry Priddy at second base and
on the longer, more demanding
pegs to first. He doesn't impress the
customers with lightning like
throws, being content to nip run
ners by a step with unhurried
heaves.
Currently batting 261, Christman
is required to offer no apology for
that figure The Mats were aware
he wouldn't threaten league leaders
when they obtained him from the
ST. Louis Browns, but Christman
lately has been indicating he may
bolster Washington's attack In his
last five games he has hit 1893.
Mark hasn't the range of 'Cleve-
lands Lou Boudreau or Boston's
Johnny Pesky and he can't whisk
a baseball across diamond with
the steam commanded by Detroits
Eddie Lake, but he has brought
welcome steadiness to Washington's
infield and has solved a situation
which was plaguing the Mats In
spring training.
Haefner Hurting Tonight.
Christman rates high with his
mates and his smooth play helps
keep their spirit high in the face
of repeated defeats.
One of his three errors this sea-
son was self-inf1icted, for he re-
quested the official scorer to charge
him with an error which had been
attributed to Catcher Frank Man
cllso. That request was as rare
as a ton of platinum.
Mickey Haefner, who left the
mound at the end of eight innings
with a "a tie against Chicago in
his last start, will face the Phila-
delphia Athletics here tonight in
the opener of four-game series,
with a single game slated tomor-
row and a double header on SUM-
day.
Idle Monday, the Mats will re-
turn to Griffith Stadium Tuesday
night to inaugurate a three-game
series with the Yankees, then tangle

today" he was saying. 4Up here in the big leagues
we use one kind of ball. In the Southern Asso-
ciation and some of the other minor leagues they
are using those rabbit balls and they're making
power batters out OF banjo hitters."
Griffith is going to carry his complaint into the
annual summer meeting of the American and Ma
tional Leagues in July, just before the An-Star
game In Chicago. He hopes that by the time the
winter meetings of the majors and minors roll
around the subject of standardized baseball will
