WIN LOSE OR DRAW
New Winning Pilots
Never Very Abundant

1T is ONE THING to speak of new
blood in the big league managerial ranks
but quite another to inaugurate a rookie
pilot and say: win. Especially now,"
Bucky Harris commented recently. "a new
manager, particularly if he's just been an
active player, is going to find it rough"
Bucky himself was 27-year-old boy"
manager in 1924. Won a pennant and
WaShington'S only World Series, too Nine
years later Clark Griffith hit the jackpot a
second time with another neophyte player
manager, 26-year-old Joe Cronin.
But Harris and Cronin weren't up to
their necks in expanSion-type players and
bonus kids Each inherited the nucleus Of
a solid team. Moreover, they spearheaded
their clubs by their own skills on the field.
Old Griff was doubly blessed but he
didn't try to push his luck After he sold
Cronin for $250,00O, who did he bring in
to manage? Harris. And later, when such
first-time managers as Ossie Bluege and
Joe Kuhel failed to come up winners, he
hired Bucky for third time All told,
Harris was Griffs genius for 10 years.
THE TOPIC IS INTRODUCED because
there are so many rumorS Of managerial
changes-to-come. Where does an impa-
tient cluboWner or president turn? There
are three brand-new, 1862 model pilots on
hot seats right now-Mel McGaha of the
Indians, Billy Hitchcock of the Orioles and
Johnny Keane of the Cards.
Maybe Keane shouldn't count for two
reasons: % his position doesn't seem as
precarious as that of the others and (2)
Johnny is career Cardinal with a long
managerial background in the minors
There also are couple of second-year
pilots who probably won't lay odds they'll
be back with the same teams in '63, mean
ing Mickey Vernon and Hank Bauer. The
fact that neither had much with which to
work doesn't necessarily draw complete
absolution from public and tycoon.
Indeed, the last freshman manager to
win was Ralph Houk in 81, but the major
was taking over the Yankees and some
people hold that Houks success should
have been almost automatic. After all,
Ralph was falling heir to a flag-winner.
More than that, the Yankees had won II
pennantS in the 13 preceding seasons.
IN MOST CASES, MANAGERS require
a bit of seasoning Much praise has been
heaped upon Bill Rigney for the implaus-
ible success of the Los Angeles Angels. Yet
when Rigney piloted the New York and
San Francisco Giants from 1956-60 he was
not hailed as a managerial giant.
Rig was faulted on occasion before
Tom Sheehan and Alvin Dark, in that
order, succeeded to the Giants helm. Even

tender.
The Yankees will draw at
least 10000 in Los Angeles for
the three-game set, and despite
the wishful thinking of the
Angels it probably will not be
the Yank's last appearance in
Chavez Ravine this year. In
October they figure to be back
to meet the Dodgers in the
World Series.
Tight Ball Games
With the exception of the
Angels sixth inning yesterday.

runs, the Senators last series
here produced some pretty good
ball games. The Angels won the

came the shut out by the Sena-

The Senators lost to Dean
Chance yesterday, a right
handler who has taken over as
the Angels top pitcher since
Ken McBride's injury.
Chance won his 18th to tie
Mcbride for the most victories,
and dropped his earned-run
average to 2.87, low among the
Angels starters. He walked
only one, struck out five, and
one of the runs off him was
unearned. Prior to yesterdays
game he had allowed only one
run in his last % innings.

shutout yesterday. Albie Pear

that time the Yanks had a 1913

Jim Kaat's five-hit pitching
and Harmon Killebrew's hefty

the Redskins backs aren't the

the Colts gained only 253 yards
