Chandler To Rule On 'Lip'
Chicago, Dec. 13-(UP)—Will baseball Commissioner A. B. (Happy) Chandler bar New York Giant manager Leo Durocher from baseball permanently if he finds him guilty of violating the major league tampering rule?
Under baseball law, Chandler has the right to take such action if he hinds Durocher approached Freddie Pittsimmons and asked him to be a Giant coach while Fitz still was under contract to the Boston Braves.
Chandler, who suspended Durocher for the entire 1947 season for non-specified offenses which the commissioner deemed "detrimental to baseball," could throw the high-octane Giant pilot out for good this time.
As a manager, Durochar is expected to know the penalties for tampering, and Chandler insists there is evidence that he and other members of the Giant organization were guilty when they signed Fitzsimmons.

Strangahan Wins At Miami
Miami, Dec. 13—(UP)—Frank Stranahan won the Miami open Sunday shooting a four-under-par 270 for the 72 holes. Were he a pro, $29 would be his. But the Toledo titan clings to his amateur standing he gets another loving cup.
The Duke of Windsor, formerly Edward VIII, created the vogue for men to wear maroon carnations with evening clothes.
New York, Dec. 13—(UP) Although the season is only two weeks old, they were separating the men from the boys today along the national collegiate basketball front.
Kentucky Gets Test Thursday
And for the most part, the men—the power teams—were those which dominated the dribble show last year.
In New England it still was Holy Cross. The Crusaders from Worcester Mass, made it three victories in a row Saturday night with a convincing 75 to 34 triumph over Providence college. The Cross gets its real test this week, however, bumping into strong Bowling Green Tuesday and stronger Kentucky Thursday.
The Wildcats from Kentucky, last year's N.C.A.A. champions, topped the South, naturally. The Kaintuck cage crew also was unbeaten in three games and preps for its Holy Cross encounter by meeting Arkansas at Lexington tonight. And on Saturday, Adolph Rupp's men tackle St. John's in Madison Square garden. Pushing Kentucky for Southern honors are Tulane, with a 6-0 mark, and North Carolina, unbeaten in five starts.
Texas, the pre-season choice in the Southwest, is expected to get a run for its money this year from Southern Methodist. The Mustangs completed a successful eastern tour last Saturday with a 67 to 57 victory over Niagara and will carry their 5-1 record against St. Louis university Saturday. Texas heads East this week for engagements with N.Y.U. in Madison Square garden Thursday and St. Joseph's in Philadelphia Saturday after beating North Texas, 68 to 47, Saturday.
Cards Smother Bears For Shot At NFL Title
Chicago, Dec. 13—(UP)—The Chicago Cardinals, whose flaming spirit converted sure defeat into crashing victory in a game they had to win, today faced the last foe on the road to their second consecutive National Football league championship.
The Cardinals, trailing their crosstown rival Chicago Bears by 11 points twice in their payoff clash for the league's Western division title yesterday, shifted in the final 15 minutes from a spiritless, beaten club into a smashing football team which wouldn't bow.
They didn't bow, either. The Bears were beaten, 24 to 21, on two last period touchdowns produced by a hard-hitting line; two clashing half-backs, Charlie Tripii and Elmer Angsman, and sub quarterback who simply played his best game, Ray Mallouf.
Victory for the Cardinals meant a chance to play the Philadelphia Eagles at Philadelphia Sunday for the league championship. That's a repeat of the 1947 title clash. In last year's scrap the Cardinals triumphed, 28 to 21, and once before this season they beat the Eagles, 21 to 14.
Whether the Cardinals win or lose will be anti-climactic. The Big Red played its game of the year against the Bears. But should they defeat the Eagles, it will be the first time a NFL titleholder has repeated since the Bears won in 1940 and 1941.
The Eagles, who clinched the Eastern division title two weeks ago, prepared for the playoff with an easy 45 to 21 win over Detroit yesterday. Tommy Thompson hit for four touchdowns with 16 throws completed in 21 attempts.
Another star passer, Sammy Baugh, carried the Washington Redskins to a 28 to 21 victory over the New York Giants with 24 passes completed in 42 efforts. And Jim Hardy, Bob Waterfield's reserve as quarterback of the Los Angeles Rams, took over the spotlight as his team beat the Pittsburgh Steels, 31 to 14.
