Umpire Baiting Outlawed In Frick's New Rule By JACK CUDOV United Pirn Htaff Correspondent NEW YORK, April G U.R Kire-caters Kire-caters Frisch, ijurocher and Stengel" Sten-gel" will have their style cramped drastically this season by a bulletin bulle-tin sent out recently to umpires by President Ford Frick of the Na-iohal Na-iohal league, it was learned today to-day - If Leo-the-Lip Durocher, pilot or Brooklyn's Beloved Bums, comes bellowing from dugout or tdeline to bawl out the plate umpire because, be-cause, of a called strike, for example, ex-ample, iippy Leo will be ejected automatically from the game. The same penalty will be meted out to Frankie Frisch of the Pirates, Pir-ates, Casey Stengel of the Braves or any other manager who attempts at-tempts man-to-man umpire baiting. bait-ing. President Frick disclosed today that the first priviso in this bulletin bulle-tin to umpires forbids manager, coaches or anyone else on the bench or sidelines to rush onto the field and protest rulings of the plate official. This may seem radical in a league made famous by its alter cations on the field, but Frick said he and the club owners are striving in this first season of Jie war for less squabbling and faster play. A second, provision, also aimed it speeding up the game, abolishes the "huddle," that grand conclave of players about the pitcher when the manager and his henchmen are trying to decide whether the flinger should go to the showers. Sweet Wlllyum Terry, former field manager of the Giants, gathered so many conferees about the mound that the assemblage looked like a Notre Dame football team calling siwUs. Now, only two players and a manager or coach can confer with the pitcher The bulletin also insists that sideline coaches keep strictly within the white-lined bounderies of their coaching boxes, unless in conference with the pitcher. They can't sprint onto the field to badger bad-ger the base umpires. Ancient Bill Klera, chief of the umpiring staff, will see to it that his 12 arbiters enforce the new restrictions. Klem, incidentally, is believed to have inspired at least that part of the bulletin which covers managerial protests at the plate. Old Bllf had nearly 40 years officiating before he quit to become chief of staff in 1941. He always maintained that no man could umpire a game properly prop-erly If constantly challenged on his decisions. Frick emphasized that the- bulletin bulle-tin is. not designed to sap the fighting spirit of the players, it merely seeks to concentrate this spirit of fast competitive play, giving the fans action instead of: dragging debate and blustering i pantomime. v w ..... s - ;,- 1 r i '-I'niT n--ri iTrirrim Judge Vv) 2 it. - ,,..1 Montana; Skier Captures Honors BRIGHTON, Utah, April 6 OLE) The title ' of Intermountain Langlauf Ski Champion today was held by- Jergen .

April 6 (U.R) Lawson Little has decided never to take anything for granted grant-ed especially when it's first money in the annual $5,000 Land of the Sky open golf tournament tourna-ment and Ben Hogan is after the same money. ' . In the 1941 tournament, Little went into the final 18 holes wvW a" three stroke lead over Hogan and the field. The poker-faced Texan, however, turned on the pressure and carded enough birdies bird-ies to beat Little by one stroke. Yesterday Little maintained a three-stroke lead in the 1942 Land of the Sky until the last nine holes. On that round, Hogan Ho-gan turned up with four birdies for a 32, a three-under-par 68 for the day, a total of 276 ' and SL000 in e'efense bonds. Little came out with 277 and $750 in bonds.

Defense payrolls ; and high prices for farm products, which have tended to boost incomes of baseball fans In Utah and Idaho, will increase ducat sales at league games, officials believe. But on the other hand, the clubs have a problem of getting players before be-fore the army gets them and wooing woo-ing crack athletes away from high-paying defense jobs. And the latter is hard to do with the low salaries paid Class C baseball players. But warm spring weather is making mak-ing the baseball pot simmer. Idaho Ida-ho Falls began spring training yesterday at Merced, Cal. Boise starts it conditioning at Lewis-ton, Lewis-ton, Ida., simultaneously today with Pocatello, whose players will get into shape at Sacramento, Cal. Twin Falls goes to spring camp at Boyes Springs, Cal., tomorrow. Salt Lake's Bees start at the same place a day later. Ogden swings into the spring warm-up Friday at Marysville, Cal. Boise's defending champions and the Pocatello Cardinals seem the best off as the teams trek to spring training. But all the players aren't signed yet the draft may get needed pitchers in the "home stretch" and a dozen other "problems will come up that will determine the 1942 winner. The Pioneer league season opens May 1, with Pocatello at Salt Lake, Twin Falls at Ogden and Boise at Idaho Falls. First Division Spot Sought By Sewell's Browns Editor Note: Following is the thirteenth of s series sizing siz-ing up the major league clubs.) By GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent DELAND, Fla., April 6 rtLE The St. Louis Browns aren't a ball club to get excited about but they have their points. Luke Sew-ell, Sew-ell, who took over, a disorganized club last June 5 and brought it into a sixth place tie with Wash- I ington, proved be had the stuff of wnich btg league 'managers are made. He got the Browns up to .455 last season, their highest percentage per-centage since 1929. First division berth isn't completely com-pletely out of their reach but they are more likely to be second division tormentors. The Browns were hit rather hard by the draft, losing six men notably Jcfanny Bemadino, Joe Grace, Johnny Lucadello and George Archie and their reserves are thin. If the Browns have a run of injuries they'll be in a bad way. The biggest changes in the Browns are: (1) New second base combination combina-tion of Don Gutteridge and Vernon Ver-non Stephens. (2) Five rookie left-handed pitchers to remedy the vital southpaw south-paw weakness of last season. (3) Rookies Glenn (Red) Mc-Quillen, Mc-Quillen, a right-handed hitter who batted .329 at Toledo last season and has never hit under .300 since he left Western Maryland in 1939. (4) Signing of C. C. Clapnicka, ex-Cleveland general manager and discoverer of Bob Feller, Hal Trosky, Mel Harder and other Indian stars as chief scout Shortstop Stephens, 21, who batted .281 at Toledo last season, is one of the Brown's brightest spots. He looks good in the field, has a strong arm and packs good power at the plate. Don Gutteridge, Gut-teridge, who formerly played third for the Cardinals, has the call for the aecond base job after hitting .309 at Sacramento. Don Heffner, his chief rival, presently has a sore arm. George McQuinn at first and Harlond Clift at third, both capable men," round out the infield. The Browns haven't had a southpaw win a game since Emll Bildilli beat the Indians in 1940. Of the five rookie lefthanders, Frank Biscan, who won 9 and lost 7 at Toledo last season, and Stanley Ferens, who won 19 and lost 5 at Columbus, Ga., look the best. Biscan is 1-A in the draft and may be lost in June. Al HoUingsworth, a National league veteran with the Reds and Phils, also may stick after winning 21 and losing 9 at Sacramento last season. The "big four" of the pitching staff will be Bob Muncrief, set for a good year, Bob Harris, Elden Auker and Denny; Gatehouse, Johnny Nlggeling will be used in spots and George Caster is the relief man. Bill Trotter also is back.
