Yes You Will
Staves0ff Rush
By Po!yIad

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Sept.
% (AP).-Mrs. Edith L. Prices
Yes You Will won today's
$4,000 Boardwalk Handicap
under alert handling by Jockey
Tommy Lee.
The Maryland bred was
nearly caught by Mrs. @. A. S.
McKean's Polylad who moved
from last place in the nine horse
field and was running over
horses in the stretch. A long
neck was the margin of victory.
Ada L. Rice's Rare Rice ran
third in the mile and one six
teenth fixture and was three
lengths away from the runner
up, and a lenght and a quarter
ahead of Mrs. Connie M. Rings
Dress Up.
Almost Missed Mount
Lee was handed the mount
on a silver platter. There had
been some speculation over
whether Rare Rice would run.
John Sellers had the mount
with the stipulation that if Rare
Rice scratched he would climb
aboard Yes You Will.
The winner sped the route
in 1.41 AS and paid $500.
$3.50 and $500. Polylad re-
turned $500 and S3.4O and
Rare Rice paid $5.40 to show.
Yes You Will always was part
OF the spede jam up front. Best
Brother and Dress Up teamed
up to set a brisk pace and Lee
held Yes You Will just off
them in third place.
POlylad Moves Up
Asked for speed turning for
home, the Maryland pride drew
away from his field, but Poly
lad could be seen moving be-
tween horses as if Jet propelled.
Yes You Will finished on the
inside and saved all the ground
possible, but Polylad nearly
upset in his return to the races
after an ailment.
The race was worth $19,37O
to Mrs. Price of Timonium,
Md, who was on hand to re-
ceive the trophy from Mrs.
Paul F. Harron, wife of the
treasurer of the racing asso-
citation.

WIM LOSE OR DRAW
Of Ralph Houk and Whitley Ford
By FRANCIS STANN

LOOKING BACK OVER the sports year,
Ralph Houk probably faced as big a chal-
lenge as anyb ody In the cerebral end.
Naturally, this statement will be contested
Every second buff in baseball crowd will
sneer, Some challenge! I could manage
the Yankees"
Managing the Yankees became Houk'S
job when Casey Stengel was given the
heave-ho after winning the pennant in
1860. Houk faced challenge because the
only way he could improve on Casey was to
win the World Series too And Ralph had to
do it with bench that had been thinned
out by the American League expansion.
Stengel may not have been beloved by
all of his young men but they respected
him. They didn't pretend to understand
why he made certain moves but they held
him in awe. He was the legendary Casey
who won
Houk had been coach, an equal Only
a few years earlier he wasn't even an equal
of some of the veterans. When Ralph was
an active player he sat in the shadows of
such as Yogi Berra and Whitley Ford and
Mickey Mantle. Now, in 1861, he was their
boss Conceding that he had the horses,
the question was: Could Ralph handle
them?
Turned out he could, and did The
Yankees went. all the way, pennant and
World Series. Houk was good and he was
lucky. He had to be both.
RALPH WAS LUCKY, for example,
when Luis Arroyo was put on the expan-
sion draft list and went unclaimed for
$4,000. All Little Roundie did was appear
in IS games (more than any pitcher in the
league) and post a 15-5 record. He was
the best reliever in the majors
Houk was lucky, too, when Roger MariS
and Mantle caught fire together Maris
rocketed from 80 homers in Stengel's last
season to 81 homers, Mantle from 40 to 54
But the rookie manager had more than luck
going for him.
When the AL draft was finished the
vaunted bench that Stengel employed so
successfully was depleted. The Yankees lost
Dale Long and Bob Cerv, who could hit the
long fly ball in pinch He lost some
pitching. Eli Grba, for instance, won II
for Los Angeles. Gil McDougald retired
In spring training Houk spoke wistfully
of Long and of his one-time Yankee room
mate, Gene Woodling, both with the SEN
ators. Hopeful that Ralph might panic
into deal for long-ball pinch-hitter, plus
relief pitcher, Ed Doherty of Washington,
for one, tried to pry loose Johnny Blan-
chard, the catcher, and/or Cletis Boyer,
the acrobatic infielder
Houk wouldn't panic. mo DEAL" Ralph
said. Boyer is my third baseman and
Blanchard, Berra and Howard, my catchers,
are my depth"
Evening star., 1961-12-21

STENCIL DIDN'T THINK highly of
Boyer. Once in the go World Series he
yanked him for Pinch-hitter McDougald in
the first inning. Boyer flung away his bat
in disgust. Blanchard didn't like Casey.
He was ready to quit baseball until Stengel
was replaced.
Houk advised Blanchard to stick with
it, then in the same breath told ElSton
Howard that he was the No. catcher. In
difference to Berras advancing years, Ralph
switched Yogi to the outfield. He used
Berra behind the plate only Is times all
season, as against 81 in the outfield He
found work for the restless Blanchard, a
little bit of catching, little outfielding,
good deal of pinch-hitting
Howard became the best catcher in the
league and hit 348. Blanchard hit .305 and
broke up as many games with one blow as
Maris. The manager may have added
year or so to Yogi'S baseball life by keeping
the veteran fresh.
Boyer had hit 242 for Casey in 80, but
his weak bat nettled the old man and he
Shuttled the fellow in and out of the lineup
Last season Boyer batted only .224 but Houk
was satisfied that Boyer'S often incredible
fielding earned him the right to play every
day.
MAYBE HOUK'S MOST masterful move
was the way he treated Ford, who had
turned 80 when he reported for spring train
ing. Whitley had been only 1873 pitcher
in 80 for Casey, who began to use him
Sparingly in the belief that his little money
pitcher was going downhill. Because Art
Ditmar had won Is that season, Stengel
opened the World Series against the Pirates
with him and came back with Ditmar in
the fifth game. Art lasted total of 125
innings in the two starts.
CaseyS dedication to Ditmar (Ford won
his two starts by shutouts) undoubtedly
cost him the Series and his job. Houk had
different ideas about Ford He felt that
Whitley was better if he worked more often.
Last season he pitched him relgiously every
fourth day-39 starts in all. The doughty
southpaw, who had pitched only 1913 innings
for Stengel, thrived on the work
Whitley led all pitchers in innings
pitched-283-and won the most games, 25
He only lost four, one of which was the
Yankees opener Houk figured Ford for his
ace and never failed to lead him. That
went for the World Series too Ford won
two more by shutoutS and the Cincinnati
Reds, unlike the Pirates in 80, couldn't take
a lead
Ford had been fine pitcher, winning
one, but in nine previous seasons he'd never
won 20 games. Last season he was great
pitcher. Winning the Cy Young Award was
automatic. Don't say that Houk didn't have
something to do with it. Casey is wonderful
but last season so was Houk

Replacement
For HefferIe

the second time in two years.
Ernie Hefferle. who had a
7-12-1 record over the past two
seasons, announced late yester-
day that he was resigning to
return to the University of
Pittsburgh as an assistant

Holovak, who had a 46-23-3
slate over eight years, now is
coach of the Boston Patriots
in the American Football
League.
Hefferle had another year
left on his three-year contract.
There had been reports that
some alumni factions were dis
appointed with the former Du-
quesne end.
Among those repeatedly un-
der consideration for the Bos-
ton College post were Tom Nu-
gent. Maryland coach, and BE
alumnus Mickey Connolly, now
an assistant at Holy Cross. Nu-
gent is a native Of nearby Law
renee.
Boston College had a AS

to Northwestern, Houston and
Detroit on successive week
ends. In 1860, Hefferle had a
3-6-1 record.
Hefferle came to the Eagles

Washington Redskins. Before
that he was an assistant for
eight years at Pitt.
An All-EaSt end in 1896, he
scored the winning touchdown
for DuqueSne against Missis-

Two rotters
To Russians

HANOVER, Pa, Dec. 81 (AP)
Sale of two trotting stations
to Russia was reported yester-
day by the Hanover Shoe
Farms, Inc. the worlds largest
standardized breeding farm.
1t is believed they are the first
American horses to be exported
to Russia since before 1917.
The horses are Lowe Han
over, 4-year-old bay by Stars
Pride-Linda Dean. and Bill
Hanover, 3-year-old brown
stallion by Hoot Mon-Brenda
Hanover. No purchase price
was announced, but it is be-
lieved the deal totaled around
$3.50, 900.
Lowe Hanover's 1859 trotting
mile makes him the fastest son
of Stars Pride, one of Americas
greatest trotting sires.
Bill Hanover was sold by
Hanover Farms as a yearling
in 1859 for $50,0O0-highest
priced yearling that year-to
T. w. Murphy of Poughkeepsie,
N. Y. He later sold interests
in the horse to L. B. Sheppard,
owner of Hanover Farms, and
John F. Simpson of Orlando,
Fla.
The horses were purchased
for the Soviet Ministry of Agri-
culture and will be flown to
Europe Saturday. Negotiations
were instituted last month when
Yevgeni Dalmatov, president of
the Hippodrome in Moscow and
head of Russian racing and
breeding, was here for the
Washington, D. c., Interna-
tional at Laurel, Md. Russian
thoroughbred horses have start
ed in the International for
several years.
About so years ago a Rus
sian paid $50, 900 for an Ameri-
can trotter, Alan Winter. Early
in the 1900s the former world
champion trotter, Cresceus, was
exported to Russia.
