Big, handsome Jim Meade, the
former Redskin fullback and now a
member of the University of Mary

in charts, rosters, notes and other
scouting paraphernalia when we
found our way into his office high
above Ritchie COLISEUM.
Tough job you have" we said
by way of opening pleasant con-
versation.
"Whatdoya mean, son, whatdoya
mean" replied our boy Jim, as If
he didn't have worry in the world.
well, it's this way You've been
out scouting this Duquesne club
which hasn't a chance in the world
of beating Maryland Saturday. And
you have to figure out something
good to say about them so the play
ers won't get overconfident.
Defeated Only Once.
Enlarging on the subject, we con-
tiuued: These other scouts-Flucie
Stewart, Houston Elder, George
Barclay-have been coming back
each week with all sorts OF tales of
woe about West Virginia, Duke,
Delaware and South Carolina. The
players hear that Maryland hasn't
chance, that they'll be chased
off the field. And what happens,
the boys get scared and play real
hard and win everything except
that Duke game, and they didn't do
too bad there.
But this week you can't say a
thing All the players have to do
is look at the record and realize
that this game was just a mistake
on Duquesne's part for even sched-
uling Maryland"
And here Meade broke through
our conversation the same way he
used to break through opposing
National Football League lines. Even

Fine, Be Reinstated

Support, Comiskey Says
BY The Assoeiotsd Press

: ST. PAUL, Mimi, Nov. 4.-Charles
Comiskey, president-to-be Of the
Chicago White sox, said today di-
rectors Of the club had agreed to pay
a fine Of $500 levied against the
club by Baseball Commissioner A. B.
Chandler.
"Our reason for paying the fine"
young Comiskey said in a statement,
"is not that we agree with the COM
missioner's ruling, but that we hope
the commissioner will reinstate the
ball club so we will be eligible for
drafting ball players at the drafting
meeting starting November H."
The fine was imposed by Chandler
on his finding the club had violated
a rule against signing high school
players. Comiskey, now student
at St. Thomas College here, is slated
to take over presidency of the club,
now held by his mother. when he
finishes school.
O'Connor to Stay With Club.
Comiskey said General Manager
Leslie O'Connor, who was barred
from baseball activity along with the
White Sox because of his refusal to
pay the fine, will remain with the
ball club with our full support as
general manager"
He. expressed regret that the
American League had declined to
20 along with the White Sox, but
added that the league had agreed
to take steps to clarity the high
school rule at the next joint league
meeting 80 there will not be an
other infraction like ours"
Comiskey said he expected Chan
dler to rule on the status of the
club either late today or tomorrow
after he receives the decision of
the clubs directors. A representa-
tive of the club left for Cincinnati
today with the minutes of the meet
ing of the clubs directors.
Must Proceed Alone.
Young Comiskey was quoted by the
Minneapolis Tribune today as say
ing, 1--WE hold no grievance against
the league nor Commissioner A. B.
Chandler, who levied the fine.
O'Conror can remain with the
White Sox with full support of the
club. However, if he wishes to carry
through with his projected court
fight against the fine he will have to
proceed alone
Speaking over the telephone to
Chicago from his home in Ver-
sailles, KY, Commissioner Chand-
ler said he had not been informed
that the White Sox would pay the
fine today.
He added, however, that the
fine and any statement the club
might care to make could be left
at his headquarters in Cincinnati.
when the fine is paid that will
end the matter insofar as we are
concerned" Chandler said.
Automatic Restoration.
He said he meant that the club
automatically would be restored to
it's place in organized baseball.
Both Chandler and Walter Null
bry, secretary of baseball, were at
their Kentucky homes today be-
cause of the election. Both are
scheduled to return to Cincinnati
