CINCINNATI, May 2 — (A?) — {cc Durocher, who suddenly has

cine up with a lot of friends he

adn’t even suspected were on his aide, probably will gain a quick Ixoneration when he faces base- ball commissioner A. B. (Happy) Chandler here tomorrow.

Chandler wouldn't say so,

He still was intent tonight on going through the motions cf a hearing and said he was "cf an 09m mind." But. the letters and telegrams pleading leniency for the manager of New York Giants Ywere piled high on his desk and he had read them.

‘T110901 can givoyouequiok ‘B65100. 0s soon as the hearing is over," said the man who holds Durocher's fate in his hands.

It seemed fairly evident from his untroubled countenance that he isn't as peeved at Leo as he

, W85. say. two springs ago. -

So far as he knows, the com- missioner said, the only ones who will appear at his office tonftirow morning are Durocher and Giants tficials, including president Horace Btoxieham. ,

Fred Boysen, the Brooklyn fan who claimed Durocher assaulted him after a game at the Polo Grounds, last Thursday, is not to be represented.

Ii Chandler gives the peppery little pilot the benefit of the doubt then Durocher's suspension will be lifted and he will be free to re- aume his management cf the Giants. I-Ie has been suspended since last Friday.

" ital: will play the crucial fourth

" the fifth game in Toronto pro-

orrrawa, May z - (or) '- Ottuwa Senators and Regine Cap-

game of the Allan Cup finals in Toronto Wednesday, it was learn- ed tonight.

Th; decision to shift the let- ies from Ottsnva to Toronto! for the fourth game was made after a heated battl, beuween officials of the Senators, Capitals and the Canadian Amateur Hockey Assoc- iatlon.

Fans attending the third game in Ottawa tonight were told over a public address system that the fourth game will be played here. But it expected that the official announcement oi the change in venue would be made after the end of the third period.

The series was shifted after I've- gina manager Cliff Ehrle said flatly Capitals would play the next game ct the best-ci-seven series in Toronto. Tommy German, man- ager of the Senators, was just as emphatic that it would be played in Ottawa.

mirle said that when the Caps

arrived in Ottawa for the Can- adian senior hockey champion- ship finals last Wednesday he had asked German ii it was fair to expect the Regina team to play all seven games here. Iihric quoted Gomian as reply- ing that it rwiisnt fair to the Caps but that he had nothing to dc with it because it had been set- tled. by the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association some time ago.

The Regina manager said he then asked Gczman if he would have any complaint if two games oi threeries were played in Tor- onto. German was quoted as re- plying that he would have no complaint; that it was strictly up to the CARA.

The Regina manager said he then went to work on the GAJ-IA. and was advised today by George Dudley, secretary, and president Al Pickard that the Wednesday night game would be in Toronto while venue oi the Saturday night meeting hadn't been decided def- initely.

“If German is bigger than the CAHA. then it's okay with me," Ehrle lfl-ld today on learning that Gcrman was standing W the Ot- tawa location for the fourth game.

“In any case webs leaving here at 2:30 p.m. tomorrow for Toronto and we'll play the fourth game there or not at all. .

“We also hope to completo ar- rangements. in line with what German told us when we arrived, to halve the fifth game in Maple leaf Gardens Saturday night but that isn't definite yet."

Ehrle said he had been advised that Gorman was willing to play

vldixig Senators $83116.

The Regina manager added that he had telephoned Conny Smythe in ‘Toronto to assure that Maple Leaf Garden was available and was told the ice could be used there both Wednesday and Sat- urday.

The question oi where the ser- ies should be played has been a thorn in the sides oi Regina Caps since they came here. They have lost the first two games of the series by scores of 64 and 3-1 and have complained both time: that the odd-shaped Ottawa ice left them at a disadvantage.

It is with regret that we chron- icle the passing of another keen Island sports follower in the per- son oi Ray McDonald. whose sud.- cien passing yesterday evening saddened. a. host of friends and left a void, particularly in junior athletic activities, that will prove ‘nardjn fill. O O O Never one to seek the limelight, Ray nevertheless exerted a strong influence in junior sports- circles. Alwws a keen follower of athlet- ics in the twilight oi his life, and despite ailing health he never lost his interest, and up to t-he time of his passing held executive po- sitions with junior clubs here- abouts. O O O O I-Ie played s major role in the development oi the Knights of Columbus Recreation Centre, a centre that has grown by leaps and bounds and he was in a great part responsible for many of the athletes now occupying starring roles getting their start. No job was too big for Ray to tackle and halent to his activities a keen mind. that helped to sin-mount many obstacles. O O O Quiet spoken and mild manner- ed. he made a host of friends, not the least of w-hom are the many youngsters-who were favored with his help and guidance. I-Ie will be missed keenly and to hi: be- reaved wife and family this col- 3111111 extends most sincere sympa- y.

Sees iiurocher Born Torouble

By Whitney uni-uh‘

NEW YORK. May I - (AP) - The guy was born to trouble. wd it will be a long, long time. if ever, before baseball will see an- other like him.

Much of Leo Durocherb troubles have been oi his own making. for after all, any strutting, defiant, arrogant, aggressive, chip - on - the-shoulder individual is destined for a rough journey through life.

There never has been anything negative, or even neutral, about "The Lip." His is a stlkinglypositive personality, and a complex , ality. I-le inspires either ardent loyalty or intense hatred. But never indifference.

The complexities of his nature are illustrated in his extremes. I-‘fe

can be a lud, inconsiderate and lusty ehara r. He can be intensely loyal, and he can be vitriolic to an extreme. I-lis latest controversy involving an alleged slugging of a fan at the Polo Grounds amused mixed feel-

either the feeling he was‘ being made the goat, or that he was guilty without trial.

Had it not been Durccher in- volved, it probably would have been dismissed as insignificant. But it had to be Durocher. It couldn't have been Mel Ott, or Eddie Dyer. or Burt Shotton.

These men aren't sooiat ’ with controversy. and violence. T‘ " is, so it just had to be Durochcr. and whether he was at fault or not, the incident naturally was ballooned into mountainous » pro- portions.

That is the penglty he p ys for his stormy history: The alty of a sharp, striking personality that makes his every word and deed a matter of violent debate.
