Chandler Likely
To Be Lenient
With Durocher
BY the Assoeiofsd Press

CHICAGO, Dec. 14.-Baseball
Commissioner A. B. Chandler today
described Leo .Durocher as mot a
man who is deliberately mean. but
rather impulsive."
In that way, the commissioner
gave a strong hint that today's hear
ing on the famed Freddy Fttzsim-
mons tampering case," will result in
leniency toward Leo, in contrast to
suspicion in some quarters that
Chandler is cunning for the Giant
manager.
Leniency might mean a fine or at
worst, a Today suspension. The
same was true of -Fitzsimmons. The
hearing was the most discussed
topic among the baseball men gath
cred here for the major league meet
ings-even surprising in interest
the deal whereby the New York
Yankees acquired Pitcher Fred San
ford and Catcher Roy Partee from
the st. Louis Browns for 100000
and three players.
The inquiry developed from the
hiring Of Fitzsimmons as coach by
the Giants five weeks ago while he
still was on the reserve list Of the
Boston Braves. This came to the
attention of the commissioner who
decided to delve further into the
matter.
Chandler ordered Fitzsimmons
Manager Durocher and a member
Of the Giants official family to at
tend the hearings Edgar Feeley, the
clubs treasurer, was appointed as
the Giants representative.

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 14.-The
University Of California at Los An

|As Big Nine Maps Grid
Slate Through 1852
BY The Assoeiofsd Press

CHICAGO, Dec. .14.-Western Con-
ference officials ended a highly sue
cessful winter meeting last night by
mapping football schedules from
1850 through 1852 and entering
Michigan State into championship
grid competition In 1853.
Michigan State, accepted as a 10th
member earlier, will be permitted to
seek league titles in all other sports
as soon as it is certified. A three
man committee is to investigate the
Spartans' athletic structure to as
sure conformity with Big Nine poll
cies. This mere formality may be
completed in time for the East Lam
sing school to be listed in all future
schedules made up IN the confer
ence's 1949 meeting.
Michigan State was scheduled in
football by Minnesota in 1850 and
tentatively by Michigan. The Spar
tans are not listed for any league
team in 1851 and. 1852, but ample
room has been left for inserting
them. There are 13 open dates in
1850, 10 in 1851 and 20 the follow
ing year. Michigan State will meet
Michigan in 1949. Next seasons
schedule was drawn up . year ago.
Perhaps significantly, powerful
Notre Dame 50 far remains. of all
Western Conference grid schedules
in 1851 and 1852, although there still
Is plenty of room and time for the
Irish to be added later. The ap-
parent gradual stunning Of the
South Bend gridiron giant is noted
in 1850 when Purdue and Iowa are
its only conference foes in a COM
mitted series while Indiana is a
tentative opponent. The Northwest
ern-Notre Dame rivalry, which
started in 1889, temporarily ended
with the 1948 game.
Unconfirmed rumors that the bi-
conference Rose Bowl pact which
has two years to run was near the
breaking point were spiked as OH
cials announced q mutually agreed
practice plan for future New Years
Day games in Pasadena.

light of Hokie Smith, manager Of
the King Pin, where the leagues
"a teams fire away every Mon
day evening with a gusto that
seems astonishing In view Of
those long, tough hours in the

Hokie had in mind the prizes
at stake for bowling plant man
ayers and hoormen. The man
ager of the establishment with
the highest percentage of entries
: per lane will receive a SIS bond,
as will the floorman with the
highest mark figured likewise.
This has been the order for sew
eral years. This time, however,
the second best in each classif1ca-
ton will receive $3.50 in cash.
In the event that the goal of
10000 entries is achieved, third
place awards Of $40 each will be
made.

CHICAGO, Dec. 1.-THE New
York Yankees regard purchase Of
Pitcher Fred Sanford from the st.
Louis Browns for $780, 900 and three
players as a road block in the pen
nant paths Of Cleveland, Boston
and Detroit.
BY swinging the first major
American League deal Of the winter
meetings last night, the Yanks have
dried up one potential source of
help for the pitcher-poor Red Sox.
They claim both Cleveland and
Detroit also would have snapped up
Sanford-just to stop the Yanks
from adding strength.
Nov maybe they'll have to make
some trades with U.s." Yankee
spokesman said. Don't overlook a
very important part of the an
nouncement. The Browns say they
plan no more major deals. If the
others can't help themselves in St.
Louis they may have to come to US.
We are anxious TO make more
trades"
Browns Won't Take Hitler.
The three men who went to the
Browns were Pitcher Dick Starr,
Pitcher Red Embree, q former
Cleveland Indian, and Catcher
Sherm Lollar, another ex-Indian
farmland. In return the Yanks get
Sanford and Catcher Roy Partee,
who Is bound for the minors.
The Yankee-Brown deal hung
fire for two days because ct. Louis
insisted on Starr. George Weiss,
New York general manager, wanted
to hold out Starr because the Wash
ington club wanted the same man.
Weiss thought he could use him in
that trade. 1t is understood Pitcher
Frank Hitler was offered instead of
Starr, but the Brownies refused.
Closing of the Browns trade mart
means the Red Sox no longer have
a chance to get Pitcher Cliff Fannin.
1t also means that Third Baseman
Bob Dillinger, who has attracted
such a fantastic offer as $3.50, 900,
might remain in st. Louis after all.
The Yanks consider their time and
cash well spent If they have blocked
such moves.
Starr Good In Minors.
Sanford, a 29-year-old right
handler, won Il and lost 81 for the
lowly Browns last season with an
earned-run average of 4.64. He de-
feated the Yanks only once and lost
five, but was more effective against
both Boston and Cleveland.
Embree, who was in Manager
Bucky Harris doghouse most Of the
season, won S and lost 3, mostly on
relief. He has enough stuff to do
much better than that, according to
his brilliant minor league record.
Starr had a 90 record for the
Yanks, pitching only two innings.
But he won IA and lost 8 at Newark,
where he struck out 157.
The Yanks did not use Lollar
regularly. In % games he hit .211
which is eight points better than
Partee's .203 in 80 games.
The Yankees also obtained Rookie
[Outfielder Jimmy Delsing from the
Chicago White Sox In exchange for
First Baseman Steve Soucbock.
Delsing, on option to Hollywood Of
the Pacific Coast League, batted 1888
in 122 games last season. He, and
another player forthcoming from
the Sox, will be sent out for more
seasoning in 1949.. Souchock, a
long ball hitter, compiled a batting
average of .203 in A games for
the Yankees last season.

man Eddie Robinson and Pitchers
Ed Klieman and Joe Haynes were
obtained by the Mats from the
Cleveland Indians today in trade
which sends First Baseman Mickey
Vernon and Pitcher Early Wynn to

The deal, which repeatedly did
not involve cash, was announced
after q lengthy conference early to-

the minor league meeting at Min
neapolis last week. The deal finally
was completed at 4:25 am.
Robinson, a 6-foot-214 Inch 205-
FOUNDER, batted .256 with Cleve-
land last season after hitting .245
in 1947. He previously had hit .306
with Baltimore in 1912, served three
years in the Navy, then returned to
the Orioles in 1916, batting .318 and
smashing "a home runs. A right
handed thrower and left-handed
hitter, he will be 28 years old to-
morrow.
KHeman to Relieve for Mats.
Klieman, q bespectacled right

by the Mats, as he was with the
Indians. Last season he won :
games and lost 2 with Cleveland
