STENCIL OUT, SALE
OF DODGERS SEEN
Casey to Get More in 1887
for Not Managing Club
Than Paid in SO.
BY ALAN GOULD,
Associated Press Sports Editor.

n YEW YORK, october 5.-There
was no Joy in Mudville and
" for that matter, not much in
4 Brooklyn today. The mighty
Casey has been let out. And the
whole ball club may be sold.
The sudden release Of Charles
Dillon Casey Stengel, for three sea-
sons manager of the outfit known far
and wide as the "Daffy Dodgers" was
believed by smart base ball men to be
the forerunner of negotiations for the
disposal of the Brooklyn Nationals.
A syndicate for which the veteran
Col T. L. Huston, former half-owner
of the New York Yankees, is repre-
sentative, is understood to be dicker-
ing for a controlling interest in the
club, whose affairs have caused many
headache since the death of Charles
H. EbbetS. Jointly owned by the
Ebbets and McKeever families. the
Brooklyns have been on the market
for some time.
Stengel'S release came suddenly last
night, III tie HiuSI Ol tHe 1dHkee

world series victory. Casey's first
warning that the ak was about to be
welded came when he was leaving the
Yankee Stadium press box He was
told later that the four club directors
had agreed to let him go and pay off
the contract under which he had one
more season.

1NDER this arrangement, to which
Stengel agreed, he will receive
more for not managing the Dodgers
in 1887 than he did for plotting them
to seventh place this year. He signed
a new contract last year on a sliding
scale, which called for his salary to
be raised from about $4,000 to SIS 900
for next season.
Il can't squawk about that" said
Casey, after emerging from a short
conference with James Mulvey and
Joseph -Gilleaudeau, two OF the four
Brooklyn directors. They don't think
the Dodgers have done as well finan-
cially as they should have. Maybe
that's so, but, on the field. think We
did as well as possible with the ball
players available. I'm not tossing any
bricks, however. Nor do l hand my
self any bouquets. I hope to stay in
base ball in some capacity, but dom t

Among the reports quickly circu-

season pilot of the seventh-place Louis
willie club in the American Association
would get call to pilot the Brooklyns
