FRIDAY, APRIL 29, 1949 UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS PAGE SEVEN Leo Durocher Giant Manager Accused By Fan BULLETIN Cincinnati, O., April 29—(U.P.) Baseball Commissioner A. B. Chandler's office today suspended New York Giant Manager Leo Durocher. New York. April 29—(U.P.)-Torrid-tempered Leo Durocer faced serious trouble and perhaps the end of his baseball career today when a heckling Brooklyn fan accused the New York Giants manager of punching and kicking him. Fred Boysen, a 22-year-old unemployed Puerto Rican, was in Sydenham hospital suffering abdominal bruises and possible internal injuries. They were, he said, the result of a fast and furious attack by Durocher after Thursday's Game-Dodgers game at the Polo grounds. Boysen he would file assault and battery charges against Durocher as soon as he is dismissed from the hospital. The charges, if they stuck, might mean the end of Durocher's stormy baseball career. This was the second time he had been accused of attacking a heckling fan, and he also had against him a one-year suspension for "conduct detrimental to baseball." All baseball sources agreed that baseball commissioner A. B Chandler might bar Durocher from the sport for life as a result of yesterday's incident. Chandler refused to comment last night. Boysen admitted he had razzed Durocher from his seat behind the Giants dugout throughout the game, which the Giants lost to the Dodgers, 5 to 2. After the game, he said, I rushed across the field to congratulate Jackie Robinson of the Dodgers. Durocher hit me from behind and then kicked me in the groin while I was down. I can positively identify him as Durocher." Durocher told reporters. "All I know is somebody grabbed for my cap. I grabbed it back and kept going to the clubhouse. That's all." Asked to elaborate, Durocher insisted, "I didn't hit him. I didn't hit him. I didn't hit him. I didn't hit him. That's all. What do you want me to Boysen said he attended the game Thursday with his cousin, Louis Rodriguez, and that, as a Dodger fan, he spent the afternoon giving Durocher a continual razzberry. Then after the game, as he rushed across the field, Durocher charged to him, he said. "I didn't even see Durocher behind me when he first hit me." Boyssen said. "But when I fell after the first punch I saw it was Durocrer and he kicked me. "Frankie Frisch, the Giant coach, pulled him away from me then. If I had seen Durocher coming, I would have been all set for him. But he hit me from behind." Rodriguez said his cousin walked of the stadium and then colloided on the sidewalk. He helped him into a taxicab and took him to the hospital, where he collapsed again. Dr. Juan Ortega admitted joyen for treatment and examination. A Brooklyn player who asked that he not be identified said he saw the alleged fight. "After the game, Durocher stood in the third base coaching box for a few seconds watching the fans pour out of the stands," he said. "He seemed to single out one guy coming across the field and made straight for him. He hit him with a right to the jaw and knocked him down. I don't know who the fellow was. I just kept walking to the clubhouse. I didn't get near it." A man named Morris Golding turned up at the hospital and told newsman he saw the incident. He corroborated Boysen's story. Attorney Samuel Reimish told reporters that he was representing Be;sen, and that he would file the assault charges.

All winter Dickey concentrated on curing Lopat of the idea that he couldn't win the spring. Last season, when he came to the Yanks from the Chicago White Sox, Lopat lost two of his first three and five of his first seven. When it got warmer, he won nine in a row and finished the season with a 17-11 mark. He was so successful that the chunky control pitcher with the herky-jerky motion set out to prove that he could get hot before the weather did.
