For Bool in
Lippy Leo Durocher, the fiet;y
manager of the New York. Giants,
was suspended indefinitely from
organized baseball last Friday by
Commissioner 'A. B. (Happy)
Candler for an alleged altercation
with a Negro fan at tne i'oio
, Grounds in New York.
Chandler stated Sunday that the
suspension was inflicted lor safety
measures.
Following a 15- 1
2 setback at the
hands of the j
Brooklyn Dodgers,
Durocher's
old team, Lippy:\ >&. lTl? S
Leo reportedly! " JkW |
knocked down ' |
%nd kicked Fred\ |
Boysen, a 22 yeai '
old ex-G. I., who

the game. j rA A jyO
It was not the 4 Vl I ay
first time Duro- J Hri q V
cher had been in*" * |
"hot water." He Lo? Durocher
was suspended from the game for
the season of 1947 because he openly
had words with Larry McPhail,
then president of the New York
Yankees, concerning gambling. In
1946 Durocher slapped a fan at Ebbets
Field in Brooklyn.
At first Durocher's future in
baseball looked black over the
Boysen affair. However, the wind
beean to blow in his favor when
fans, sportswriters and club executives
came to his defense.
Horace Stoneham, president of
the Giants, said his club would
do everything in its power to deDEAR/MOAH-ARE

fend its manager. Sportswriters,
sensing a story, jumped to Durocher's
side. They claimed the!
suspension was unjust because Leo
was not given a hearing.
The big help came from a Giant
an, George Cronk. who forwarded
the story that it was he who
kicked Boysen, accidentally. Cronk
said he was walking across the
field after the game, and that Boysen
either was pushed or fell. "I
suppose I kicked him," Cronk said.
"I mutter ed''Sorry' and kept go
ing. I didn't think anything more
of it at the time.
Cronk also said he saw Boysen
lunge at Durocher first, and that
Leo apparently swung his elbow
without looking back ? and that's
wha% made Boysen fall.
Boysen claims Durocher punched
him from behind and then
kicked him in the groin.
Whether it be the end of a fiery
baseball career or just another
episode in Leo's life, this incident
should prove to all that it does
not pay to meddle with organized
baseball in such a manner.

Being at a loss for local sports ^
to elaborate about, we again turn
to the national side.
fc
First of all we'll talk about the r
Western Carolina Class D Baseball ?
League. From all outward ap- :
pearances it looks like the league f
once more will be a sluggers' j,
heaven. During the first week a
every park in the circuit was rock- ?
ed with home runs. The Newton
Conover Twins seem to have the c
greatest punch along with the defending
champion Lincolnton Car- r
dinals. j
Eddie Yount, Newton skipper, c
Don Stafford, first baseman, and j
Eddie Walczak, third baseman all j

night to give the Twins their only ^
victory in their first two starts. r
However, the power demonstrated r
by these three boys in that one
game alone is enough to make the
rival clubs sweat. t
Down in Lincolnton, it seems t
that Manager Carl Miller, who will
be remembered as the first base- \
man of the Charlotte Hornets last
summer, has already sounded off ^
that he will be in the midst of the t
home run parade through the sum- ^
mer. Miller, always a slugger, s
has a knack of winning ball games t
by knocking the ball across the
fence. And he could have picked
no better place to do it than the *
Western Carolina League, the home 3
of short fences. *
As for the rest of the circuit, .
they will have their distance hitters,
who will pop off during the
season, but we'll give Yount and
Miller the edge to fight it out fo^
the individual slugger honors.
Off of baseball and onto boxing ?

or a moment. Local fight fans
lave a treat coming up tomorrow
light (Friday) right in their own
>ack yards. Asheville Fight Pronoter
Ted Ball has arranged a
ight card of 32 rounds that promses
not to go the limit. In his
ireliminary matches he has
iraught in some new punchers for
i couple of fights who are noted f
or their excessive knockout powir.
All prelims promise to be exiting.
But the main event of the eveling
featuring Lonnie (Bulldog) ^
lutherford of Roanoke, Va., and
Jluggin' Johnny Kilday of Boston, #
tfass., should be a killer. We saw
Bulldog flatten Joe Leonard, Charotte's
outstanding middleweight,
n just 37 seconds of the second
ound three weeks ago, and believe
ne, his* right fist carries the kick
>f a mule.
Yet, Kilday has compiled one of
he outstanding ring records of
he northern middleweight com?rs.
It is reported that he also
las a dynamite right.
Speaking for just that one punch
ve saw Bulldog throw at Leonard
hat flattened the Charlotte boy,
ve'll say he will take Kilday by
t knockout, and it shouldn't be in
he latter rounds.
Most Cleveland County orchardsts
expect a good fruit crop this
rear in spite of some damage from
reezing weather in March.
