The St. Louie general manager threw In the 28-year-old righthander for good measure last week in his seven-player trade with Philadelphia. And although Harvey Haddix was the key man for the Phillies, ft was Miller who opened the door out of the National League cellar for Philadelphia Tuesday night by beating the Braves for the seve |h time in his nine decisions against them.

Such a process, he said, would be “long tedious and costly." The AAQ also declared it has been “fully -' vindicated by the court’s decision.” In a statement issued Tuesday night,* 'president Carl H. Hansen declared: ’> "The AAU also applauds the court's comment that any promoter, or anyone else, who participates id any violation of the amateur code should be held accountable . "The AAU is determined to pursue this matter against any promoter, whether affiliated with the AAU or not.” 1 Justice Lynch ruled against America’s fastest miler bn two counts -his assertion that the AAV executive committee lacked proper jurisdiction and that a quorum was not present when he was suspended last Feb. 19. He also chided Santee, holder of the American citizen's record of 4:00.5 for the mile, for refusing to take the witness stand in his own behalf, evfn. Jn the face ,of “crushing and devastipg" testimony, by AAU Witnesses. Santee wae declared to tor•felted his amateur standing for aewpt!rtg"Bl.soo mofe'Thah allowable expenses during the l&lTseason.A temporary ijijpnction enabled him tft conrpetA in tWo indor meets- but Justice Lynch lifted the injunction early in the court -proceedings.
