NEW YORK, May 2 (U. P.).— Leo (The Lip) Durocher was out $100 today, the umpteenth fine he has paid to the National league for baiting umpires and other various and sundry causes. Ford Prick, president of the National league, assessed the fine against the manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers for his argument with Umpire Tom Dunn in the first of two games against the New York Giants Sunday.

The victory hungry Indians returned home today after a disastrous road trip on which they won one game and lost six. They dropped two out of three in Toledo and four straight in Columbus. The Tribesters are to open a three-game series with the Louisville Colonels at Victory field tonight at 8:30. ‘After Thursday's game the Bushmen will depart on a long road journey for a swing around the western half of the circuit.

It wa§ the Birds’ seventh consecutive victory. After four regular hurlers failed to stem the Birds’ attack, Skipper Bush sent First Baseman Kerby Farrell to the mound in the fifth but there was no stopping the Columbus outfit. _

Birds Collect 21 Hits

In the one-sided game the Red Birds collected 21 hits. It was a ragged contest. The Indians committed three errors and the Birds four, The Tribesters collected 13 blows but scored in only three innings off Johnny Podgajny, who lasted the route on the Columbus maqund, “Johnny Hutchings, Tribe starter, was belted out in the first stanza in which the Birds jumped off to a flying start by scoring five runs.

old Oklahoman who has 11 years-of experience as a minor league pilot. “I have no squawks of any kind,”

Wilson said. “I'm very sorry to be leaving. I thought this was a bet~ ter ball club than its record shows, and still think so. I cannot-.ex-plain the slump, but there it is. And in baseball, when you don't win you have to get out.” Grimm Mentioned The first tendency of dyed-in-the-wool Cub fans, who have been sniping at the Cub front office ever since the team sank into the second division mire in 1940, was to call back Charley-Grimm, the popular, happy-go-lucky “Cholly” who led the Cubs to the pennant in 1935 and started them on the way to another in 1038 before Gabby Hartnett relieved him. But Grimm is very happy, financially and otherwise, with the money-making Milwaukee Brewers and recently indicated that he never intends to break up his win- | ning front-office combination with | Bill Veeck Jr.

Other Possibilities Other possible successors to wil- | son whose names were being ban-| died: by the guessers were Bill Sweeney, manager of the Cub farm team at Los Angeles in the Pacific Coast league; Herold “Muddy” Ruel, veteran coach of the Chicago White Sox who has an uncanny

lot, and Bill Terry, ex-New York Giant manager. The remaining possibility was that Johnson himself would be Cub manager. If the work-horse type “Hard Rock” can put the Cubs on the victory trail—as the law of averages tes—it was conceivable that he may be retained, at least for the 1944 season.

Jim Tobin Tries to Duplicate Vander Meer’s Feat Today

Tobin, who throws the softest knuckleball in baseball, has not been
