waukee that Leo Durocher, for
mer manager of the Dodgers and
Giants, would be offered the
job of Braves manager next
season.
Haney, who said he didn't
know about the switch until 20
minutes before the announce
ment, refused to accept the job
until he talked with Grimm.
when Charley said, Go
ahead, I want you to take it,
took it," Haney said. The for
mer Pittsburgh pilot. who left
that club at the end of the 1855
season, took the job as Milwau-
kee coach last October. He said
that before accepting it he flew
from Los Angeles to Grimm S
winter home in st. Louis to dis
cusS the proposition, and took
the jbo only with the under
standing that when Grimm went,
Haney would go.
The new manager said he
hasn't considered his coaching
staff, but that the two other
coaches presently with the club,
Charley Root and Bob Kelley,
definitely would stay.
No Changes Planned
Haney said he plans no lineup
changes forathe present and that
the lineup Grimm had an
nounced for Sundays double
header with the Dodgers would
play as scheduled. This lineup
had Joe Adcock, who hit a pinch
homer today, back on first base
in place of Rookie Frank Tore.
Grimm compiled a lifetime
batting average of .290 with the
Athletics, Cardinals, Pirates and
Cubs over span of 10 years and
was a great defensive first base
man. He was named manager of
the Braves in May, 1852. That
was the year before the club
switched from Boston to Mil
waukee and its turnstile gold
mine. Perrin plucked Grimm
from the Braves Milwaukee
farm team after Grimm had
nailed four pennants to the flag
pole as pilot of the old Milwau-
kee Brewers Of the American
Association.
The majors most accomplished
lefthanded banjo player led the
Milwaukee version of the Braves
from seventh place to second in
1858. third in 1854 and second
again last year.
Perrin Wanted Sire"
Rumors that Jolly Cholly"-
who never was heard to "blow
his top" at his players-was to
get the hook cropped up during
the last two years. Reports that
Perrin, anxious to produce for
the majors best drawing city
was losing his patience, came to
a head at the close of the 1856
season.
There was a shakeup-in-
spired, it was said, by PERMITS
desire to instill fire" into what
many regard as a docile club
in the coaching staff. Bucky
Walters gave way as pitching
coach to Charley Root and
Haney replaced Johnny Cooney
as Grimm's other aide.
Charley didn't believe in show
ing up player in public.

Cardinals. 20, in a game Gale.
after seven innings because of
pouring rain.
The shutout was victory No. IL
for Bobby Friend. the major
leagues winningest pitcher. He
has lost three games.
Friend now has blanked the
Cardinals for. 81 consecutive in
nings, counting a recent 60
shutout and a 20 victory in II
innings.
Walls homer came in the Sec
ond inning and was the second
and last hit the Pirates got of
Herman Wehmeier. It came
with Frank Thomas on base-he
had singled--and scared over the
scoreboard in leftfield.
The victory was doubly sweet
to the Pirates. since it came at
the expense of Wehmier. The
burly Cardinal pitcher had beat
en- the Pirates twice previously
this season and has a lifetime
record of 25-9 against Pittsburgh.
Walls homer was his sixth of
the season. and together with
Friends clutch pitching kept the
BUGS safely in front of the on
rushing Dodgers. At least three
times previously this season the
young rightfielder has come
through with game-winning hits
for extra bases, and time. and
again his sparkling play af1eld
has choked off opposition threats.

Democrats now hold 29-seat
majority in the A35-member
House and Republicans already
have lost one Maine seat. This
means the @. o. p. must score
a net gain of Is seats--plus an
additional one for every seat it
loseS-in order to take over con-
troll Of the House next January
Given the odds, it's an uphill
fight.
Local Issues Seen
No one issue, apparently, will
determine the outcome. Some
hard-presSed G. o. P. incum-
bents are looking to President
Eisenhower to pull them through,
while Adlai E. Stevenson says he
:. expects to ride the coattails of
some Democratic candidates.
But local factors, varying from
4 district to district, make each of
the closely fought House contests
& an Individual affair.
Farm problems and unem-
ployment weigh heavily in some
of the close districts. In others
the incumbent record, person.
atty and campaign skill may
defeat or elect him. Rapidly
changing population patterns
give rise to uncertainty IN sew
eral districts. In still others a
marked shift in the relative
strengths of party organizations
is responsible.

Close Battles Waged
In the other IS States, how
ever, close battles are being
waged in one or more districts,
ranging from Nevada, where a

to Pennsylvania. where 13 of 80
seats are in some danger of being

Moreover, both Republicans
and Democrats are making gains
in additionally hostile territory.
Republicans hope to hang on to-
two Southern seats picked UP in
1954-one in Florida and one in
