By TOMMY DEVINE United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Oct. 21.— Basebal] Commsisionerd Kenesaw M. Landis today sounded a keynote for the continuation of the game in the face of war-time inrcads by announcing that major league clubs would train again in northern camps, The announcement by the 71-year-old diamond czar was blunt and emphatic. It said: ~“Major league clubs will train in the North next year as they did in 1943” > “There was no flowery message of a determination to “carry on” in the Landis ruling, but his meaning was plain. Significantly it came when a possible “fold up” of the majors because of player shortages and other war time difficulties was in the spotlight because of an announcement 24 hours earlier of the retirement of Joe Gordon, star second baseman of the World Champion New York Yankees.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 21 (U, P.. —Coach George Munger denied today reports emanating from New York, that his University of Pennsylvania team was running up big scores on their Ivy leaguer opponents, Munger said the momentum of his team carried Penn higher than their wildest backer ever dreamed. He added that a coach hardly sends a player. into the game “with instructions to pull his punches.” Records show that Penn used 40 players in the 47-0 victory over Princeton, 41 in the 41-7 defeat of Yale, and 40 in the 74-6 rout of Lakehurst Naval air station. . » ———————————— sins
