ST. LOUIS. Nov. 30.-"He asked
me did I want the job. and I said,
Yes, sir. I want the job"
And that's how. at 8 o'clock
yesterday morning. Martin Ma
rion. "Mr. Shortstop" to the St.
Louis Cardinals for II years, be-
came their manager.
The announcement to the press
came at $50 pm.
President Fred Saigh said
Marion had been the leading con-
tender all along.
Marion succeeds Eddie Dyer
who resigned earlier this fall.
The tall, slim South Carolinian
smiled and said he thought being
manager of the Cardinals was the
greatest honor in baseball.
The press conference broke into
a hot-stove league session. Every
body knew Marty, SO nobody had
to get background"
May Have Knee Operation.
"Mr. Shortstop-manager" said
Stan Musial would be played only
in the outfield next year, aban-
doning first base. And that his
best bet for second base looked
to be Solly Hemus at the mo-
ment.
Although Marion was billed as
the first player-manager Of the
Cardinals since the days OF
frankie Frisch, there were some
indications that Marion's playing
would be limited.
II would like to play. I don't
think I'm through as q player.
But If I can't play, I'll manage
from the bench"
He said he had been advised to
have a cartilage removed from his
right knee and that he might have
that done right after the major
league meetings-if at all.

Louis Timing Way OH
AS He Wins Decision
Over South American
BY the Associated Press

CHICAGO, Nov. 30.-Joe Louis
is wearing boxing gloves, but
whether he'll ever use them again
in title bout was as big a ques-
ton today as ever.
A slim Chicago Stadium crowd
Of 1886 which saw the former
heavyweight champion score a
methodical 10-round comeback
victory over Cesar Brion last
night, could agree with Joe's ad-
mission that my timing was off. +"
AS a matter of fact Louis isn't
even talking about a return match
with the titleholder, Ezzard
Charles, who gave him a 15-round
trimming at New York last Sep
tember 81.
II want two or three more
fights. and I want them right
away" Louis said after his unan-
imous but plodding decision over
Brion. 13 years younger than the
no-longer dreaded Brown Bomber.
II want to be in tiptop condition
before I even think about Charles. -
Next Opponent Undecided.
The International Boxing Club,
which again took its Jumps at the
gate was to confer today over
Joe's next opponent in his try for
another shot at Charles.

was a shadow of his former stalk
ing. slashing self in the 10th
round. He had Brion In trouble
with a furious barrage of lefts
and rights. The South American
weighed 1876.
But as Joe mumbled in the
dressing room: II just couldn't
get the combination going. And
Brion is the type Of fighter Joe
used to get the combination" 60
ing against with murderous pre-
cision in his hey-day.
Brion, 23-year-old! Argentinian
who showed no fear of Louis from
start to finish. conceded that Louis
was his toughest opponent in IS
fights. Through an interpreter.
Brion also said Joe's timing was
of, but that he might be able to
get it back in two or three more
fights.
Brion hurt his left hand in
the second round and it was
badly swollen after the fight. His
bobbing, weaving style may have
bothered Louis, but just as against
Charles, Joe was never able to
explode his once-potent right
hand.
Might Meet Oma Next.
There was some talk Of Louis
facing Lee Oma in Detroit. but
nobody in the IBA family seemed
certain what the next step in
Joe's comeback would be.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 30.-
This city readied itself today for
the biggest invasion of the year.
and two battles.
Footballwise, the main skirmish
is the Army-Navy game Saturday
in the 102,000-seat Municipal
Stadium.
The other battle, still on an
"tf" and maybe" basis, appears
to be with the Weatherman and
his bag of tricks. Today the long
range forecast for Saturday is
not pleasant-mixed rain and
snow, and cold.
The possibility of bad weather
apparently worries Army more
than Navy since unfavorable con-
ditions afield generally are ad-
vantageous to the underdog, as
Stanford proved in holding the

Texas battles Texas A. and M
in the Southwest's most enduring
and bitterest football rivalry.
No championship is involved
no bowl bid. But this 57th game

ties of all sorts.

quitting. He went to a hospital
suffering with stomach ulcers.
It's the second time in four
years for Cherry not to be on the
bench when Texas plays. In
1947 he underwent an appended
omy. His team won anyway.
For Texas A. and M. this is the
biggest game in II years. The
Aggies haven't been able to beat
Texas since 1899. They are ac-
corded their best chance of max

Both teams already are in bowl
