outer edge of any depression the
ball may be resting in, Sc. long as
he does not move the ball nearer

ing.

New Bern Defeats Pirates
LARRY MACPHAu
WILL BE GLAD TO
TALK WITH LIPPY
Yankee President Makes
1t Clear He Is Chargrin-
ed At Suspension

NEW YORK, April 10. -HH
president Larry MacPhail of the
New York Yankees made it plain
at a press conference today that
ne was chargrined at the one-year
suspension slapped on manager
Leo Durocher of the Brooklyn Dod-
gers and that he would be glad
to See" Leo if and when the lat
ter ever seeks a baseball job.
In at least semi-defiance of Com
missioner Chambers order yester-
day that all parties to the recent
Yankee-Dodger squabble be Isl
lenced," MacPhail talked to a room
full OF newsmen for upwards Of an
hour and answered a fair pro
portion of a score of questions
thrown at him.
Taking cognizance of Chandler
all-lnclusive order, the redhead de-
clared at the outset in a prepared
statement that "This club will
continue to release and publish
any and all information pertinent
and proper in connection with the
operation of this club:
He gave it as his opinion that
the commissioner did not have the
right to prohibit the release of
factual information regarding any
matter in which the press and pub
lie are properly concerned"
Asked if he thought the penalty
against Durocher was unjust and
excessive" MacPhail replied care
fully:
81 may have some very strong
and decided personal feelings in
the matter. If so, I'm prevented
from expressing them except
through baseball channels"
To the question of whether he
would be prepared to offer Duroch-
er a job with the Yankees next
year, he gave an oblique yet
crystal-clear answer. He recalled
that Durocher, when asked during
the winter if he expected to see
MacPhail, had replied: "Sure, l
expect to see MacPhail. He's my
friend and he gave roe my first
chance to manage a ball club"
81 would like to say that I full
ly reciprocate Leo's feeling" Mac
Phail concluded impressively.
Asked if he was surprised at
the severity of Durocher's sent
ence, the Yank president replied
that 81 didn't know there was any
hearing on Durocher except wheth-
er he wrote that column to which 1
objected" Chandler, in banning the
Brooklyn pilot, made it clear that
Leo's offenses far transcribed his
columnar activities.
MacPhail declared that the New
York club at no time had asked
Chandler to take disciplinary ac-
ton against Durocher or anyone
else.
Although he did not say so di-
rectly, MacPhail implied that he
would pay coach Charles "Chuck"
Dresser his full salary for the
month. He is under suspension,
thus more or less multiplying Chand-
ler's penalty.
"My impression is that Dresser
was suspended - not fined" he
said. Asked if that meant what it
sounded like, he grinned: "What do
you Think" 49,
He added that if Dresser felt
like appealing his suspension to
chandler the Yankees would be
very much inclined to go along
with him." The club, he added,
would not appeal it's $4,000 fine.
CAT Cincinnati, Chandler said he
had mo comment" on MacPhaTs

Yankees.
The news of Robinson's pur
chase by the Dodgers came witt

ment except to say he had not
