The former St. Louis Cardinals executive announced - a set of mandatory changes in the Dodgers’ disciplinary code at thé time he revealed he had retained Durocher for another season. &
The five main points of Rickey’s first major 1943 Brooklyn communique were: (1) No more high stake gambling among club members; (2) discipline were to be discussed; (3) Coach Charles (Chuck) Dressen was unconditionally released and no successor appointed; (4) spring training will be at West Palm Beach, Fla., starting: March 1 and (5) the Montreal farm club will train at nearby Lake Worth, Fla. Durocher, when asked about reported high-stake gambling among the players, admitted that he saw now it “was a bad practice and will henceforth be eliminated.”
Armchair Critics
“Several armchair critics have singled’ out gambling as one of the reasons we did not win the pennant last season,” Durocher said. “It probably was harmful, althqugh it caused no ill feeling. I can name seven—Vaughan, Camilli, Medwick, Reiser, Walker, Wyatt and Reese— who never turned a card all season.

Jailed for Fighting ° Moose Sherritt, Cap defenseman, and Bill Allum, Buffalo defenseman, were jailed five minutes for fighting in the second period. It was a short fight of nothing but body blows. Then at 17:29 Buffalo scored on the fastest pass seen in the coliseum this season. Charley Kraiger flashed the puck to’ Chapman who in turn passed across the ice near the Caps’ goal to Freddie Hunt. Hunt scored and Perras didn’t see it. Allum was penalized again in the final period for tripping Adam Brown and the Caps failed to score with Buffalo a man short on the ice. Rimstad scored his final goal at 18:13. The Caps are home again Sunday night against Washington, - New Haven plays here Tuesday night. After that the next home game will be Dec. 13.

POTTER VALLEY, Cal, Nov. 20] (U. P.).—Floyd E. (Arky) Vaughan, | third baseman for the Brooklyn! Dodgers, today denied reports that! he had-quit baseball, but said his | return to the Dodgers next year | would depend on the salary offered | him and the available labor supply | for his cattle ranch. Vaughan said he has experienced difficulty getting enough cattle hands for his Mendocino county range, and that he might stay here | and work himself if the man power shortage gets worse next spring. Vaughan presently operates 400 acres. He plans. to acquire an additional 1000 acres soon. Vaughan said the rumor that he was retiring from baseball apparently started When his brother entered the army. “I'd like to go to war, too, and I would have, but I've got three! children.” Vaughan didn’t amplify his re- | mark about salary, and there was no indication that he had made demends on. the Dodgers for more money.
