LEAGUE By JIM HUBBART Early in the season, the dope- sters were picking the Seattle Rainiers as the team to teat in the Pacific Coast League pennant race. It took the Rainiers guite & while to gather up steam, but to- day (Monday) they are holding down second place by virtue of a victory Sunday over San Diegc. ‘The Padres dropped the opener, 7to 2 and the second game, 5 to 4. Guy Fletcher, ace of the Seattle pitching staff, turned in his 12th straight affair and his 13th of the season in the first contest, a 10-inning affair, Los Angeles, usually weaker than a two-bit highball, fizzed up long enough to split with Holly- wood. Young Bob Kelly turned in a three-hit performance for the Seraphs in the nightcap, shutting out the Twinks, 8 to 0. The opener was a free-swinging scrap which Hollywood won, 13 to 7. San Francisco and Oakland each won one Sunday. The morning game, played at Oakland, went to the Acorns by 3 to 2. But the Seals bounced back in the after- noon for an 11 to 8 triumph on their home field. At Sacramento, where double- headers are played in the evening because of the heat, the last place Portlanders took the seven inning opener, 5 to 4. However, a four hit pitching job by Bob Gillespie gave the Solons a 7 to 2 win in the nightcap.

PASSENGER SAl ALSO FREQUENT F 493 | ™@® PAGE THREE JUMPERS FROM BB ARE REINSTATED BY ACTION, CHANDLER By JOE IVES WASHINGTON, June 6-— @ — Baseball Com oner A. B. |Chandler’s abrupt reinstatement of |the Mexican League jumpers is re- ceived with 1 reaction, | Chandler extended an offer late | Sunday to major ang minor league | players who skipped to Jorge Pas- quel’s outlawed Mexican league three rs ago to reinstate them in Janized baseball if they so desire. They had been barred &ty the Commissicner ‘n 1946 for five years after accepting large bonuses and selaries to play below the border. Many of them now are playing on Canadian teams since Pasquel stcp- ped offering the, hugh inducements. Chandler said the players need only apply to the President of their respective leagues — Ford Frick of the National League and Will Harridge of the American League. DAMAGE SUITS CONTINUE Minor League Boss George M. Trauttmann said he will reinstate “the four or five players” who went to Mexico, The players who were reached | expressed extreme delight over the action. However, it was learned that the three players who now have suits pending in New York's' : Federal District Court for damages suffered by Chandler's suspension order plan to continue their ac- tions. Former New York Giant out- fielder Danny Gardella is suing organized baseball for $250,000 and two two former St. Louis Cardi- nal pitchers—Max Lanier and Fred Martin—are suing for $2,500,000 from the Cards. Both suits are| based on the legality of baseballs “famed"” reserve clause. This clause in effect makes the player the| property of his club until he is re- leased or traded. | REASONS FOR ACTION Chandler, in a formal statement, said his action was taken at this time “because, after three years,| it seems a fair thing to do, and| because the threat of compulsion | by court action now has been re- moved by recent unanimous de- cision of the Circult Court of Ap- peals (n the Martin and Lanier arld - Gardella cases.” The -court recently refused to order the play- ers reinstated. | Chandler did not specifically state what provision will be made because of the 25-player limit now in effect cn all clubs. But he in-| dicated the players would “get a fair chance to remain in the major 1leagues.” SENATORS TO BENEFIT The Washington Senators will be able to pick up their two men be- cause they are carrying only 23 players. The New York Ciants. hcwever, would have 33 if the eight players concerned apply for re- entrance, because Manager Leo Durocher now has the full quota of 25. Owner Branch Rickey said the Dodgers have room for one player, but the remainder of the clubs are up to the limit now.

The protest arose over the de- cision of an umpire who called Bud Phelps out after he had hit a home run over the fence and he had been touched by the third base coach while making the cir- cuit. Rule 49, section 17 of the Official Baseball Rules reads: “The base runner is out, if in the judgment of the umpire, the coacher at third base by touching or holding the runner physically, assists him in returning to or leaving third base The runner, however, should not be declared out if no play is being made on him.” League President Joe Werner states that League officials will uphold the protest of the Moose Ball Team in the interpretation of the above rule, and it is their opinion that the umpire was in error in declaring the runner out. However, since the written protest was not filed with league officials within the 24 hour limit prescribed by league rules, it cannot te con- sidered and therefore will be waived. ‘The game to be played tonight is last Friday's washed out game be- tween the Legion and Elks. To- night's game will start at 6:30 and will decide the league leaders as! koth teams are tied for first place! with the Moose six games in the LEADERS IN B. B.
