CASEY STENCIL IS
PREDICTING OVER
1851 BIB. SEASON
By JACK HAND.

NEW YORK, Oct. 11-tR-Casey
Stengel, set for two years with the
best managers pay in baseball, Will
not stand pat with his World Cham
pion New York Yankees.
Boston, Cleveland and Detroit are
respected by Stengel. So is Wash
ington which he regards as a po-
tential first division club. .
Stengel peered ahead into 1851
today after signing new two-year
contract to manage the Yankees.
Old Casey can get as high as $4,000
to $85 1000 a year under bonus
agreement. The basic pay is believed
to be $4,000.
THAT Boston club should be very
good" he said. THAT young pitcher
(Willard) Nixon looked like he
should make it. And they have two
or three others who ought to make
their pitching better. If they do,
then they can keep (Ellis) Kinder
on relief"
Detroit is another good club.
They got a very good infield with
maybe little more strength needed
around first base. And they'll be
helping themselves during the
winter"
cleveland, they can knock your
brains out. That big fellow on first
base duke Eastern can knock the
ball over the fence"
"And Washington. The way they
played against me, they can do any
thing. 1 think he (Bucky Harris)
might move into fourth"
Stengel generalized about his own
clubs plans for next season.
Il have openings on this club, :
he said. I'm a man thatH take
some young players if they have
points. l like to have young man
to buck another man."

That means that the Council

A big question is in the MAX

The question Of unsesting a
