ture meeting had been set, that ne
doubted if a statement on the met
inc would be issued, and that nc
date had been set for a Chandler
conference with Del Webb and Dan
Topping, co-owners of the Yankees.
Asked if he would say whether
the Chandler-McPhail conference
had been a peaceful one, Mulbry
answered:
Nov that's something
wouldn't care to comment on.
However, there were no lulls IN
the conversation
Mulbry continued: The COM

men or photographers, and will
answer no questions"
The Yankee baseball boss had
made it clear before the meeting
that he was prepared to challenge
Chambers authority to seal the
lips of anyone.
1t was McPhail who brought
Durocher before the commission
er. 1t occurred after he had filed
defamation charges against the
manager and Branch Hickey, head
of the Brooklyn club. Both clubs
were fined $4,000 for "engaging

PARKERS WALL0P
GREENFIELD, 7-3
Ellison Pitches Three-Hit
Ball As Winter Park
Wins Fourth Straight

Winter Park increased their
tight hold on first place of the
Junior Baseball league yesterday
afternoon as they dubbed the
favored Greenfield Tigers, 7 to 8,
behind the three-hit twirling OF
MILFORD Ellison in a game played
at Robert Strange park.
Greenfield looked as if they
would run away with the Bombers
in the first inning, grabbing three
fast %tallies. However, the Parkers
came back in the second frame to
notch two markers and added two
more in the fourth and three in the
fifth for their fourth straight vic
tory of the season
Leading hitters were Afford Of
Winter Park with two hits in three
times at bat, one a double and the
other, a triple. Leroy Towles,
Eddie Coley, and Eston Hoffman
banged out the losers only base
knocks.
Pitching the complete game for
Greenfield was Tracy Duval, who
was batted for five hits in the
five inning contest.
Lineups for the game: Winter

Tor Nate Andrews and his charges,
the Leafs collected IA base hits -
five Of them for extra bases.
That the Pirates scored at all
was a miracle and some bad pitch
ing and fielding on the part of the
Leafs. Steckel was walked by Hicks
to start the inning. Smithfield
catcher Plantz then let a ball gel
past him, Steckel going to second.
After Davis flew to center, the i'll
fated Muscovitch stepped up to the
plate to rap out the only hit of the
contest for the BUGS, scoring Steck
ell. That was all for Wilmington.
In the fourth, Becker, the Leaf
right fielder, slammed out a triple
that made W%ilmington's Roy Lamb
rather shaky on the mound. Lamb
walked Ellis, and Balla was safe
on an error, Becker scoring and
Ellis taking third. Popelsky flew
out, and Ellis trotted smartly
across the plate following the

From then on, the Leafs con-
tinued to amass runs. They scor-

The nothing to say statement
came after they had spent six
hours and 40 minutes in a man-to-

by some five hours. Chandler can
celled a golf date, and 10 scribes
and six photographers were kept
waiting outside during the con-

at the Commissioners office to
explain why he had violated Chand-

pension of Dodger manager Leo

porters with a twisted grin, and
said:
Gentlemen, I'm sorry I'll not

any information you must get it

Frats, 9-8

The Post Office softball team
continued its perfect record in the
Hanover League last night by roll
ing over the cellar-dwelling Black
wood Braves, IA to 8, in the first
game of a doubleheader played at
Robert Strange park. The Loyal
Order of Moose squeezed out Sc
nior Fraternity, 9 to 8, in a nine
inning second contest.
The first game was no runaway
as the score might indicate. The
Braves grabbed a 2 to 0 lead in
the very first inning and from that
point on the game bounced back
and forth. At the end of the fourth
inning Blackwood held a Z to S
lead, but the Postmen jumped back
in the fifth to rack up four runs
and added five more in the sixth
to clinch the tilt. Four home runs
were knocked in this ARRAY. HON.
er Brewer of Blackwood blasted
his second roundtripper of the sea-
son into the right field road in
the first inning, while Norman
Farmer hit his second and third
and Woodcock blasted his first
along with Davis for the Mailmen.
Carl Warren pitched for Black
wood last night. The Is year old
fipper was blasted for 10 hits.
while his opponent, Davis, saw five
base knocks explode by him.
The second tilt had a thrilling
finish. Behind going into the last

ward climb in the middleweight divi-
sion. He slugs it out in New York
with George Sonny Horne (above),
top-ranking l6O-pounder of Valley

Kronowitz is a willing trader of
punches-is hard to discourage. He
has successfully euchred all attempts
to stop him and has never been off
his feet. The Brooklynite is a two
listed puncher who bangs away from
gong to gong.
Last year Horne went the distance
