A. A. RESCINDS ONE BALK RULE

AND AIMS TO SPEED UP GAMES

a sg

HE American Association has rescinded the balk rule

put into effect at the start of the 1937 season, which

required that a pitcher in making a throw to second, with a runner on first attempting to reach second, make his turn to the right. . . . He may now turn to the lefl and throw to second, as long as his turn is one continuous motion. .. . A break in the motion, of course, will be ruled a balk as always. Every effort is being made to speed up games in the league and to eliminate delays wherever possible. . .. With this in mind, umpires have been ordered to enforce the rule which reads as follows: “The umpire shall call a ball on the pitcher each time he delays the game by failing to deliver the ball to the batsman for a longer period than 20 seconds, excepting

that at the commencement of each inning, or when a pitch-

er relieves another, the pitcher may occupy one minute in delivering not to exceed eight balls to the catcher or au infielder, during which time play shall be suspended.”

“Pop-0ff’ Hurler Denies: Attack on League Chief And Umpires.

By United Press NEW YORK, June — Dizzy Dean's suspension from the National League was continued today by President Ford Frick after a twohour conference between Dean, Frick and Manager Frank Frisch of the St. Louis Cardinals. Clarence Lloyd, Cardinals secretary, also was present. Dean was suspended yesterday for “conduct detrimental to the best interests of baseball.” Specifically he was supposed to have made remarks derogatory to Frick and Umpire George Barr. Today Dean denied having made the statements attributed to him, refused to sign an apology for them and also refused to sign a statement that he had been misquoted. Frick, after the conference, issued the following statement: “In a conference this morning between Manager Frisch, Secretary Lloyd, Player. Dean, and the president of the National League, all statements purported to have been made by Mr. Dean and quoted in the press, reflecting upon the integrity and honesty of the National League ofiice and the ‘National League umpires, were discussed thoroughly. :

Blanket Denial Made

2 ve

“Mr. Dean made a blanket denial of ever having made any of the statements and said that he had not at any time made such statements to the press. “He refused, however, to sign a i public statement refuting the alleged remarks or any public statement declaring that he was misquoted. As a result, it is the ruling of the National League office that Player Dean remain under indefinite suspension.” “My conscience is clear,” Dean said after the meeting. “They're trying to make me sign something that isn’t right. They're wrong. They revised the statement four times. Last time the apology was taken out. Breadon (Sam Breadon, Cards owner, who was phoned in St. Louis) urged me to sign that one. But I wouldn't. I'm leaving for Chicago for a day or so. Then I'm going to my home in Bradenton, Fla.” : The crux of the matter seems to be a statement attributed to Dean, speaking before a father and son banquet at the First Presbyterian Church, Belleville, Ill, May 25. Dean was quoted as saying: “The two biggest crooks in basehall today are Ford Frick and George Barr. I know I'll probably he kicked out of baseball for saying this hut every fan in Belleville and St Louis will bc behind me.” .

Backs Dizzy’s Denial

Dean emphatically denies he made any such remarks, and Si Johnson, another Cardinal pitcher who was with him, backs Dizzy up in the denial. Before Dean was suspended yesterday he was given a chance to sign a formal apolcgy, but refused, “I never made all them statements,” he said. “Frick wrote the letter hisself. and wanted me to | sign it. He wouldn't let me write the | letter.” :

Cubs Challenge Leaders As Ailing Stars Return

By United Press NEW YORK, June 3.—The Chicago Cubs rode the crest of a sevengame winning streak today, challenging the National League leaders. After suffering almost every affiiction: known to baseball, Charley Grimm’s men have bounced back to within two and one-half games of the leading Pittsburgh Firates. They trail the second-place Giants by but a half game—which they can wipe out by winning today. During the early weeks of the season injuries riddled the Chicago infield, pitching and catching units. Then sick players began to get well, injuries healed, regulars got back in the lineup, and the Cubs began to win. Now everything looks rosy | with the team in the midst of one | of its famous winning sireaks. | Grimm appears to have solved nis mound problem. He has started a different pitcher every day since the current string began May 28, and eachh one has gone the nine-inning route except rookie Clyde Shoun, who went 8-3 innings against the Giants yesterday. :

During the seven days the Cubs have manufactured 39 runs from 69 hits, compared to the oppositions 13 runs and 41 hits. : The Cubs only got four hits yes- | terday, three of which came in the | fourth inning and were converted ! intoa pair of runs to win, 2-1.}

Shoun pitched scoreless ball until the ninth, but after the Giants had tallied once in that frame and had two men on base, Grimm sent Root

to the rescue. He fanned pinchhitter Sam Leslie to end the game. Cy Blanton pitched six-hit ball for the Pirates to defeat the Boston Bees, 2-0, and chalk up his sixth win of the year. Brooklyn's Dodgers came within a half game of the first division by besting the fourth-place Cards, 6-2, behind the seven-hit pitching of Van Mungo. Cincinnati beat Philadelphia, 8-4, in the cellar series.
