Premature Coast Story
Not c Confirmed or Denied
By Burton Hawkins
Star Ssuff corrsspendsnf

BOSTON. Sept. 23.-Charley
Dresser is the likely successor to
Bucky Harris as manager Of the
Senators. but Calvin Griffith. vice
president of the Washington
Baseball Club, refuses to deny
or affirm the choice.
The Senators will have to bid
high to get Dresser as at least
three other big league clubs are
said to be interested in him.
Clark Griffith, 84-year-old
president Of the Washington
club. indicated he would talk to
Harris, who is here with the
Senators. by telephone today. It
seems definite now that Harris
will 60. but the club apparently
has wanted to withhold an
nouncement Of the fact until
Monday.
Announcement Due Monday.
Young Grifdth said Clark
Griffith would take no action
concerning the signing of a new
manager until he reaches New
York Tuesday for the World
Series. Ar announcement that
Harris is leaving probably will be
made Monday.
What has been termed "pre-
mature" speculation on the
management change puts Dres-
sen in an ideal position to ma
neuver with the Senators in re-
gard to terms. The former
Brooklyn manager, who directed
the Dodgers to National League
pennants in 1852 and '53, also
repeatedly is being sought by the
PhillieS, Athletics and Tigers.
Dresser returned to the minors
this year to pilot Oakland to
third place in the Pacific Coast
League, after he refused to accept
a one-year contract with Brook
lyn. His Oakland team recently
won the Coast Leagues Cover
nors' Cup post-season playoff.
Dresser coached under Har-
ris when Bucky managed the
Yankees in 1947 and '48. The
Yankees won the World Series
! in 1947.
No One Year Contract.
Dresser doubtless will ask
a two or three year contract
with the Senators at salary
estimated at about $4,000 a
year. Harris contract called
for $27 500.
Dresser, a chesty, strutting
"bantam-rooster" type of man
ager, would be a sharp contrast

New Victory Mark
BY the Assoeidfed Press

Now for victory No. Ill and a
new American League record, the
champion Indians told them
selves today as they took a break
before opening their final series
of the year with the Tigers.
The Indians need only one vic
tory in their three games with
Detroit to surpass the total of
the 1927 Yankees. Bob Lemon,
who is expected to pitch the
World Series opener at the Polo
Grounds next Wednesday, prob
ably will get first crack at estab-
fishing the new standard.
Don Mossi. a rookie who has
been used mostly in relief,
brought his record to 6-1 as the
Tribe beat the White Sox, 81,
yesterday to tie the Yankees
best season. AL Smith led the
Cleveland attack on Jack Harsh
man, driving in two runs with a
double and triple.
Meanwhile, the fourth-place
scrambles continued in both
leagues, the weird ending to Mil

Reds brought a protest, and the
Dodgers came up with a rookie
southpaw who famed is as he

three singles. He famed six in
a row at one stage and broke

of 13 by whiting Monte Irwin
and Dusty Rhodes in the ninth.
The Phillies pulled within a
game of the fourth-place Reds
as Curt Simmons and Robin
Roberts beat the Pirates, 12-1
and 5-1. Roberts hurled a four
hitter for his 22d win.
The Reds, who have only two
games left compared to six for
the Phillies, still are screaming
about a freak double play that
ended their ninth inning rally
