Bell said the answer was sim
pie enough.
Parker felt a controversy was
being created by the Lions re-
quest to play under pro rules,
the commissioner said, land
Buddy didn't want the league to
be in anything but favorable
position. So the Lions agreed to
play college rules all the way
even to putting the goalposts
back on the end lines.
This way Bell continued,

decide which is the better spec
tacle for the fans, pro or college
rules. Well be in a better posi-
tion to discuss it next year. l

wanted it this way. He'll have

I don't know how the fans will
like it, but that's the way it is"
X y
Briggs said he didn't favor
playing the game under college
rules.
They'll have SIS boys on the
college squad" Spike pointed
out. land everybody will want to
see his guy in the game, but that
will be almost impossible under
college rules. I don't think it will
hurt the pros, but I don't be-
lieve the fans will like it,"
Spike limited at some changes
in Detroit baseball personnel be-
fore another season rolls around,
changes that should help the
team. Outf1elder Don Lund, he
said. may be taken out of uni
form and named a scout be-
cause "he's too smart to be a
player" Lund also is slowing up
a bit and the Tigers have a
young flyhawk at Buffalo who
is going to run somebody right
out Of job, unless Spike misses
his guess.
AS for Manager Freddy Hutch
inson, he seems set for another
year, at least, unless the roof
falls in between now and Sep

wishes Hutch would make more

baf-Iossing Incident
BY the Associated Press

CINCINNATI. June 8.-Na-
tional League officials say Jackie
Robinson didn't mean to throw
his bat into the grandstand last
week after an argument with an
umpire.
But Mrs. Peter Wolinski,

Joined in clearing Jackie.
Warren c. Giles. league presi-
dent, telegraphed Robinson yes
terday that he was convinced
beyond doubt" the 35-year- old
Brooklyn player did not intend
to throw his bat into the stands
in Milwaukee.
Robinson admitted tossing it
after Umpire Lee Ballanfant
thumbed him out Of the contest.
But he denied flinging it into the
stands.
"The bat slipped from my
hand when I tossed it," the in
fielder said. 81 tossed it under
hand toward the dugout. but
held on to it too long"
Fined $50 for Argument.
Robinson was fined $50 for the
argument with Ballanfant.
In st. Louis. where he received
word Of his clearance, Robinson
said he now felt the bat-throwing
event was history.
II know everybody knows it
was an accident" he said. I'm
certain the people in Milwaukee
know it was an accident"
Mrs. Wolinski said the bat
struck her above the left eye and
hit her husband on the FORE
head. Harry Yelvington, an
usher, said he also was hit on
the head. The Wolinskis en-
ployed a lawyer but have not
decided on any court action.
Earlier Dispute.
The incident came in a five
inning game which lasted more
than four hours and was marred
by another dispute. The Braves
took the lead on Eddie Mathews
grand-slam homer in the fourth

Johnny Logan of the Braves had
been given walk on three balls.
Robinson was elected at the
start of the fifth, when the
Dodgers rallied for five unearned
runs to take the victory.
Giles had nothing to say yes
terday on protests by Milwaukee

Gus Diamato, manager of Pat
terson, who had won his 13 pre-
vious starts, shouted he would
protest today to the New York
State Athletic Commission.
According to the rules, only
clean and effective punches
count" he said. MY fighter
landed the effective punches.
The other fellow threw only
flicking punches. I'm going to
see Bob Christenberry about it."
A poll of II boxing writer's at
the ringside at Brooklyn's East
ern Parkway Arena was unani-
nous for Patterson over his 80
year-old opponent. They sat
stunned when the vote of Judge
Arthur Susskind 7-1 for Max

Joe Eppy had it 5-3 and Referee

terson.
Uses "GaZelle Punch"
Patterson, using a spectacular
leaping right hand lead-his
"gazelle punch"-battered Pal
joey in the sixth, staggering
him twice. At 1T pounds,
Maxim had a nine-pound edge
on Patterson, the Olympic
middleweight champion in 1852. |
Maxim fought back gamely
under bursts of fire by Patter-
son, grabbing when in danger.
Maxim, naturally, agreed with
the officials, but praised the
youngster.
"Was it a good fight to
watch?" he asked eagerly. 1.-The
last two rounds did it for me.
He punches fairly hard-a jolt

Archie Moore or Lloyd Mar

another Maxim-Archie Moore
fight, this time in Omaha where
they are to have a centennial
celebration.

Moore left no doubt that he'll
be able to make the limit for

It'll be torture but I'll make

Cut in School Grant
To Give Alexandra
Budget New Pinch

Alexandria, already more than
100000 in the red this year, is
going to feel another budget
pinch because the latest Federal
grant for school construction is
lower than expected.
School officials counted on
$565,814 from a past-due grant
under public law 815. This
amounted to 70 per cent of the
full amount the city was en-
titled to receive under the law,
and, was the percentage the
United States Office of Educa-
ton said the city could expect
this year, according to- Alexan-
dria School Supt. T. c. Williams.
But the grant as announced
yesterday amounts to only $479,-
980-more than $85, 900 less than
the city expected.
The shortage will mot affect
any construction plans, however,
because the only two remaining
schools in the city's current
building program already are
under construction. These are
the North Elementary and the
new high school.
Mr.. Williams said it would be
necessary to make up the diff
ference from city revenues. He
said the school board had agreed
when the Federal grant was
included in the construction
budget tentatively-to make up
any differences from possible
surpluses ethat might occur in
the school operating budget. The
City Council. he added, had
agreed to make up the difference
if the school board could not.
