First Dodger Game Ends In A Turmoil Durocher Decides Weather Too Cold Ik-ar Mountain. N. Y.. March 29 — (UP)--You can »top worrying, folk* — the Brooklyn Dodger* of 1943 are the earn- old Dodgers. A lot of people thought they’d change a good deal — what with Staid Branch Rickey in the saddle. No more poker game*, no more late hours. But they're still the Dotlgers Os old. They played their first exhibition game yesterday, against their farm hands from Montreal and Durham. And—you guessed it the gome ended in Turmoil. When It was over, no one knew who had won. The score could have been 7 to 6 In favor of the Dodger*, or either 9 to 7 or 0 to 0 In favor of the farm band*. Over 2,000 Flatbush faithful trekked to the Dodger camp at Bear Mountain. N. Y.. to watch the game. And they went home reassured that the Daffinesa boye have not changed in the least. The trouble started when manager Durocher decided It was too cold to play after the first half of the seventh inning. And so he called the game then and there. The actual score wan 9 to 7. with Mon-treal-Durham leading. Tha minor leaguers had scored three runs in the seventh inning to come from behind and go out in front. So that's one version of the final score. However, when th* home team fall* to bat, the score reverts to tbe precious inning, according to baseball rules. So. the Dodgers contended, it should have been 7 to 6 in favor of Brooklyn. But the farm bands were willing to play out the inning. And when Durocher refused to let the game go on. they claimed a forfeit —and insisted that the score was 9 to 0. Yep. the same old Dodge-s. Six G. E.
