THE BURLY Tracy, center of an involved legal tangle, reluct antlv accepted decision and left Monday afternoon to report to the Ottawa Rough Riders. Before he left, he revealed that he would sign for only the 1956 season "I'll make sure there is no option clause for next year," he said. "I definitely will play for Detroit in 57." It was the option clause in his 1955 contract which brought aDOUt a nasMe uvci mo auntcij jand a heated debate between officials and commissioner Bell after his Monday ultimatum.

General manager Nick Ker- bawy and president Edwin Anderson claimed that Detroit's contract with the hard-hitting Tracy should be recognized by Bell. But the commissioner demurred. "TRACY SIGNED a contract last year with Ottawa," Bell explained. "That contract contained the standard clause calling for an option on him for this season. Such a contract and option clause is the same one we use in our league.

"It is impossible for me to rule against the same principle we are trying to maintain in our own league." Kerbawy's claims that Tracy originally signed for only one season with Ottawa and that the recent Canadian ruling on quarterback Tom Dublinski set a new standard in such cases, also ere refuted by Bell.

Included were five home runs and three doubles, not to overlook 15 runs batted in for a total of 85 this season. Since the All-Star break, he has risen from .283 to .307. "I think I'm straightened out now," Kaline says. "I know I feel more relaxed; maybe I was trying too hard. "If I can Just lay off that first pitch and quit chasing those bad outside balls, maybe I can keep going.

They tried to convince him to permit them to take the Tracy case into local courts and seek an injunction restraining him from going to Canada.

"I turned it down," Bell said. "I am convinced the only way to get along with Canadian football is for both leagues to honor the other's contracts.
