WIN, LOSE OR
DRAW By FRANCIS srAAA
Casey on the Bench

before the big rumble started in Comskey Park Casey
Stengel asked if he had anything deathless to say
We he replied winking, I'VE could discuss Swaps and
Nashua. And maybe know much about horses do
baseball anyway this season. everything is cockeyed"
I'm your educated opinion" visitor prodded, chow do
you predict the finish of the pennant not horse
well, don't know about that educated stuff but we
win if my guys hit like they can but don't always
Sometimes think need those old fellows reynolds, Sain
and CONSTANTLY and sometimes don't you tell
Nov you take Cleveland, which has got those two
fellows (Ray Naresh and Don Mossi) who always
sammng the door in faces do not have bullpen
like AL Lopez and that is why I've got to get the long
ball that he don't need so much"
AN INTERVIEWER INQUIRED if that meant he rated
the Indians the club the Yankees have got to beat
IT didn't say but years I've been this league
and that the only club to beat whole
They've got IL to in games with only two left to play,
80 guess that spols my record"
Since 745 yesterday there had been line of
waiting to buy standing tickets and by o'clock there
1t wasthe biggest Chicago crowd of the with $1,000
paying customers damned into the ancient
with what the Yankees going to take out Of this
one-day stand remarked another of Stengels unlimited
guests don't you think you ought to something nice
about the White Sox?"
well, now could say we're all in first place and that
would just about be the truth right although by
the scoreboard that those fellows Ceveand are having
little trouble with Washington Cleve-
land, where play started earlier.
II DON'T KNOW IF CHICAGO win the pennant but
they could have that fellow eted minnie Minoso had
went on THAT Chico Carrasque he don't play good
all either but the hand they got those two
fellows outta the Southern Association dick Donovan and
Dixie HOWELL and they've been keeping Frank Lane in hot
biscuits"
Casey couldn't sly dig General Manager Lane
OF the Sox with whom he's often clashed.
IF don't hear from Lane himself that he's very
smart man. I'd say he was lucky to come with those
young men,
Nov this (Chicago) is another club don't beat
standing only go with em as of now, and if my club
could've beat em like last year Us times in % games they
wouldn't be in the But didn't beat EN- that good
and they must be all right you might say
little bit worse"
THE YANKEES SECOND STRING catcher Charley
Sivera, suddenly took notion to spray his uniform with
bug bomb and stenge shifted the fumes dstastefuly
moved to the opposite end of the dugout.
He's got to worry about bugs" Casey muttered
don't have nothing to about and BESIDES Chicago has
got Swaps and Nashua running this week and don't need
pennant while I'll be City and can't see the
even on teevision, probably.
Now know Swaps because he's a Californian and"
Casey" protested Of his visitors sitting in the
upper deck back of your dugout few people who know
Swaps better than you meaning Willie Shoemaker
Rex Ellsworth Meshach Tenney and Ben Lindheimer.
$50 I'll stick to baseball stenge shrugged well these
fellows (he White Sox must be all right like said because
read where Mr. Marty Marion is using his first baseman
Wat Dropo defensive measure against Washington and
the fellow winds the big hitter which is all thought
he ever was in the first place
THE sCoREBoARD LIGHTS changed and it showed
that another inning had passed in Cleveland and the
remained 20 Casey noted the Senator's effort with graft
fcation.
Now that's a real tough club to lick" Stengel
mented referring to the Senator'S Maybe they can't beat
City the Orioles good they give Cleveland
hell and they give my club hard time"
Casey" somebody said the meeting was breaking
up deep you really think the Indians the club
you've got beat don't you?" When he winked passing
photographer Sengel to- repeat the familiar gesture
"I1 do it if you don't the picture unless we win,
Casey bargained, and 1t made He made with his
rubber face then put on another face and said:
well, would have to say that Cleveland bothers me
little more but could be wrong and maybe it's my own
club bothers These fellows (the White Sox)
don't quit and If have to 60 through more seasons
like this one maybe I'm the thatn quit"
But that was before the Senators licked the Indians
twice. dumping them into third place. while the Yankees
and Sox moved up to 1-2, only 003 apart.
