Harridge Gets Into Dispute Over White

i tract after he had served as a bat tin! practice pitcher with White Box on their last

(By Charles Dunkley)

.CH1OAGO, Oct. 30—(AP)—Pre- sidmt Will Harridge of the Am- erican League today projected his organization into the controversy raging between A. B. Chandler, Commissioner of baseball, the Chi- cago White Sox and Leslie O'Con- nor, suspended general manager of the Sex.

Harridge called a meeting of League club owners, or their rep- resentatives, to be held in Cleve- -.and tomorrow to “consider the action taken against the White Sex and O'Connor.

Harridge revealed that Chand- ier had requested the removal of O'Connor from baseball's execu- tive council presumably because Chandler was of the opinion that since O'Connor remains under sus- pension he could not serve.

The Council is composed of Chandler, Warren, Giles, general manager of the Cincinnati Club. and the presidents of the Ameri- can and National Leagues, Har- ridge and Ford Frlck.

O'Connor will attend tomorrow's meeting to explain his side of the COlliZFO\fBl‘Sy and to exhibit corres- pondence that. passed between nim- self and Chandler ovcr the sign- ing of an obscure 17-year-old Cili- cago liign school boy pitcher, George Zoetermau.

The signing resulted iri a $500 fine and later suspension of O'Con- nor and the White Sex because of 0'Connor's refusal to remit on ilie plea that he had not violated any rule. A . Zoeterman, promising left hand- ed pitcher, signed to a 1948 con-

When O'Connor noted that to cover all high school students in the United States and Canada O'Connor insisted the rule must lie applied as written and that Chandler had exceeded his rights in expanding the interpretation. The‘ ban prohibits the White sox and O'Connor from taking any part ln\tiie major league draft to he held in Cincinnati Nov. 1O or from having any representatives zit the executive council sessions and joint meetings of the maior leagues. . However. O'Connor today an- nounced the signing of his star shortstop Luke Appling. Appling, i943 American League batting champion, will be starting his eighteenth season with the White sox. He had an unofficial batting average of .306 last season.

If we have a rink to house our hockey games in Summerslde this whiter, and, brother, that's an “if" that will compare with Kiplingks famous conjunction of the same name. it would be a good idea, we think. to operate a town league as “as done in baseball this year.

play would stir up a lot of inter-

est here. There must be enough material for three teams counting the airforce personnel i which there -is doubtless a. number of puck manipulators. Then an all-star team could be picked to play outside teams. There is no reason why we couldn't giveChar- lottetown some stiff competition if that plan were adopted. Play- ing exhibition games all winter till playoff time rolls around does not. create the interest a. well-org- anized league would.
