Arrest Of Player Ordered By Court
New York June 10. The arrest of Paul Derringer Cincinnati Reds pitcher for failing to pay a judgement of 8170 was ordered by Supreme Court Justice Ernest E L Hammer.

Scardron, Derringers attorney, argued the arrest would amount to jail for the vanity limit since Derringer does not reside in New York City and travels for his occupation.
