Just in Case Anybody
Should Be Asking
By FRANCIS STANN

THE CHAMPAGNE INDUSTRY must be
tight-fisted. All that publicity in connec-
ton with the bubbly in clubhouses and
yet no series broadcast is ever sponsored
by these people. In all fairness, most ball
players rarely touch the stuff. They pour
it over the heads of teammates but drink
beer from cans
BY far the best way to follow the series
at home was to turn on the television set,
cut off the audio, and tune to George Kell
single "gloved-hand catch" nor How
about thet!" the entire way. They don't
even know what cliche is!
The Importance of having few wise
baseball heads in the front office was
pointed up to Pete QueSada, among others,
by the Giants. without Billy Pierce, Don
Larsen, Harvey Kuenn and Billy ODell they
wouldn't have come close to winning the
pennant. Almost every one of these came
to the Giants in steal deal.
h%A
MANAGERS WITH BIG DECISIONS
riding on nearly every pitch seek pre-
game diversion if they're smart and aiming
to remain ulcer-free. Ralph Houk, for
instance, gives odds and verbally tackles
Joe Garagiola, who makes him laugh.
"You had the same kind of career I
had" Joe told the Yankee manager. "You
always coughed in the face of the first
string catcher; you know, spread the germs
around"
Managing is easy" Houk said. Gall
you gotta do is spell the guys names right
on the lineup card"
How can you miSSpell 'TreSh'?" Ga
ragiola demanded.
The most forlorn and forgotten series
figure "a figure of speech, really was Luis
Arroyo He may have worn the pin-Stripes
for the last time. A year ago he was voted
baseball'S No. relief pitcher A solid
MVP contender, too.
**&&
Best prophet of the series was Manager
Alvin Dark of the Giants. He forecast the
tie for the MI pennant, a three-game
playoff with the Dodgers, and a seven
game showdown with the Yankees.
Worst prophet was Red Patterson,
publicity director Of the Dodgers. When
the score was Az Dodgers, going into the
last inning of the playoff, Red shouted into
the press box microphone: 1.-THE press and
hospitality rooms will be open at o'clock.
See va tonight"

WIN LOSE OR DRAW

THE AIL-STAR WORLD SERIES team
should have more Giants than Yankees,
to w.t. Halter, C; Skowron, Id; Hitler, 2b;
Pagan, SIS; Boyer, 3b; fresh, If; Mays, CT;
Felipe Alou, RI, and Terry, Sanford, Pierce
and Stafford p. Most valuable player:
Rookie Tom fresh.
Yes, it's possible the series Qasting
10 days. could have been longer If the
Dodgers had made it, the Yankee pitchers
still might be throwing to first base in
order to hold Maury Wills on the bag.
Those freak rains aside, San Francisco
still is the best and most exciting large
city in the United States. But with those
Little League bleachers in rightfield,
Candlestick Park is bush. 1t takes look
at Candlestick and Chavez Ravine to
appreciate D. C. Stadium.
The auto dealer sponsoring that I'm
sung Redskin Hero contest has us confused.
How can Bobby Mitchell qualify? Actually,
the most authentic Unsung Redskin Hero
is Secretary of the Interior Udall, best gen.
eral manager in pro football.
IT'S IRONIC BUT NOT necessarily
depressing for the Giants to realize they
lost the series by completing double play
(Kubek'S two-outer that enabled Skowron
to score in the 10 finale). After all, didn't
they win the MI playoff on a base on balls
that forced in the winning run?
Los Angeles taxicabS must have the
most souped-up meters in the land. BY
comparison, MiamiS are like Baltimore'S.
Little wonder car rental lots are as nu-
merous as bars along State street in Chi
cago.
Mickey Nantes average (.12O) wasn't
the worst by big-name star in World
Series. Gil Hodges of the 1852 Dodgers
went 0-for-21. Actually, Mick is in good
If miserable-company. Ty Cobb had a
200 series, Mickey Cochrane a 100, Eddie
Collins 214, Rogers Hornsby .238, Babe
Ruth lib, Mel OFT 200 and Hans Wag-
ner a .222 experience.
Matty Alou, who can't break into the
Giants regular outfield, would look good
in a Washington uniform playing along
side Chuck Hinton. He may be the best
bunter in the game and he runs like a
striped ape. Don't forget that Leon Wag-
ner couldn't make the Giant outfield,
either, and look at the guy now as an Angel.

BAVASI BLAMES CLUB
Leo Quiet for Now
As Aston Keeps Him

and Coach Leo Durocher, Wit
seldom rests his.
Aston, rehired yesterday TO
a 10th season, said he wantet
to retain Durocher despite re
ports Leo had second-guesseC
him after the Dodgers lost thu
National League pennant play
off.
Durocher, asked whether he
would return, said he had no
comment. "I'll let Mr.. Bavasi
(Dodger General Manager Buzz
zie BavasD make all the state
ments," Durocher said.
There is no doubt In my
mind" Bavasi said later, that
Leo will be back"
Team Effort Needed
Bavasi, who called a news
conference to announce Al
ston's contract renewal, seemed
to think the collapse Of the
Dodgers this year was more
attributable to the team than
to the manager.
"It took a team effort to lose
IL - RaVaSi said
During the news conference
Bavasi put in a phone call to
Alston's home in Darrtown,
Ohio.
Hi, Smoky" Bavasi said,
"You got anything better to
do than meet me next February
in Vero Beach? We just made
an announcement that you're
going to be back with us next
year"
I'm going to enjoy my va
cation a lot more now" Aston
said later.
A reporter asked Aston d.
rectly if Durocher would be
back.
Gas far as I know, yeah, I"
Aston said. I'm satisfied with
the way Leo worked. No one
has convinced me he said those
things about me-"
Aston was referring to pub
lished reports that Durocher
second-guessed him after the
playoffs and suggested he Oeo)
could have won the pennant II
he had been manager
Durocher has denied making
such statements.
Can't Change Leo
Bavasi, who may not be con-
WINGED, said:
Lets face it. We're not
going to stop Leo from talking
Nobody's going to do that. No
body's been able to do it for
so years. We wouldn't want to
do it. 1t wouldn't be the same
Leo"
But, Bavasi added, eff Aston
can live with Leo, that's fine
with me-"
The renewal Of AlSton's con-
tract was generally expected
although some suspected he
might be blamed for the way
the Dodgers folded in late Sep
TENDER. They had a four-game
lead a week before the regular
season ended. but they man
aged to blow that and then
lost the playoff to San Fran
cisco.
Since 1854, when Aston took
over, the Dodgers have finished
first three times. second three
times, third once, fourth once
and seventh once.
Alston's new contract, like all
his others, is for one year. He
was believed to be making be-
tween $35, 900 and $4,000 and
his salary is not likely to

day on New York reports that

Players to whom he referred
were Shortstop Phil Linz, Out
fielder Hector Lopez, and
Catcher Outfielder John Blan-
chard.
I'VE discussed trade posi-
bilities with the Yankees and
other clubs during the World
Series" Quesada said. 1--WE re-
alize that we must offer pitch
ing, and we have offered 'front.'
line pitching.
"I don't think, however, that
New York will close anything at
this time. The Yankees are
shopping for the best possible
deal, and so are we."
Quesada also said that he
did not expect to make an an
nouncement about a new gen.
eral manager for the Senators
until next week, at the earliest.
He is flying tomorrow to Colo

Kelso and Carry Back, chic
contenders for Horse of the Yea

been invited to represent tn
United States in the It'll

tional scheduled November l:

Owners of the horses, Mrs
Richard c. dupont and Kath-
crime Price, indicated earlier
this month that they would
accept formal invitations, pro-
viding the horses were fit. The
American Selection Board an
uounced the invitations yester-
day and is expected to meet
again next week to choose two
American alternaUes.
Mrs. duPont's Kelso, aiming
for a third straight Horse Of
the Year title, finished second
to T. v. Lark in last years
International. He recently re-
turned to his form of 1860 ano
1861 by winning the Stymie
Handicap and WOODWARD

Garry Back this week re-
turned from Paris, where he
competed in the Prix de PArc

Jack Price called a bad ride
His major successes this season
were the Metropolitan and
Monmouth Handicaps and the
Whitney Stakes.
Frances Match III, already
acclaimed the European cham
pion, leads the foreign entries
in the 11a-mile turf classic so
far. Japan's Takamagahara

summer, when Pitcher Bob An
derson, rather than Cardwell,
was part of the package.
i "Cardwell is a quality pitcher
with a quality arm who's never
lived up to his potential" De-
vine said of the hard-throwing
Highlander who had a Tie
record and a 4.91 earned-run
average this season.
But Altman was the man
the Cardinals really were try
ing to get, to the extent Of
giving up 16-game winner jack
son, 81, and Mcdaniel, the one
time relief ace.
Cubs See Boost
A spokesman for the Cubs
said the exchange will be a
tremendous boost to our pitch
ing staff in getting a top starter
and reliever along with q
promising catcher" He added:
I'VE will have to go with a
much younger outfield in re-
placing Altman. but this will
give Outfielders Nellie Math-
ews, Danny Murphy, Lou Brock
and Don Landrum a chance to
play regularly. This move also
will improve the clubs out
field defense"
Jackson, 1911 in SO games,
had a 3.79 earned-run average.
Mcdaniel, 26, won 3 and lost
10 with an earned-run average
of 4.12 in his worst season in
the major leagues. He was in
SIS games.
Schaffer, 26, hit .242 with 9
runs batted in. He was used
mostly as a defensive replace
ment.
The Cardinals Immediately
sent Thacker, %, a 1877 hitter
this season, to their Atlanta
farm club.

Tom Nugent may be prepar-
ing Maryland for the passing
of George Mira, but Miami hac
better be prepared for Dick
Sinner and Maryland's great
est game"
That's what Nugent says and
whether it sounds like some
loud drum humping or not
the Terps have more incentive
than Miami Beach has hotels
and that's aplenty.
The Terps play the Hurri-
canes at 9:15 pm. tomorrow
before an expected crowd OF
about $1,000 in the Orange
Bowl.
If that word bowl" sounds
familiar, the same thought has
occurred to the TerpS They
missed going to Jacksonville's
Gator Bowl a year ago and no
one has let them forget it,
They're talking now as if they
intend to make this the first
of two Florida trips for '62.
Bowl Possibility
1t may be early to talk about
bowls, but the Terps have hopes
and they know Floridians have
eyes. To be invited back to the
Sunshine State, the TerpS know
they'll need something like an
80 record and, more i'm
portant, they know they'll have
to look good in Miami. It's
that simple. Floridians like
everything first class. Mary
land will have to impress,
otherwise, even a gaudy record
may not be enough.
Other incentives? Well, this
is Nugent's first trip to Florida
after six years at Florida State,
where he made himself a name.
And you know he'd like to win
this one.
Maryland has won all four
games so far, and a SO record
would be something nice to
bring back for next weeks
Homecoming game agains t
South Carolina at College Park.
Miami is 81, having lost that
heartbreaker to LSU last week.
The crowd? It'll be larger
than anything Maryland has
played before in years. Instead
of bringing filters, Nugent
thinks it'll bring determine
ton. II think it'll inspire our
team" he says, Into playing
its greatest game"

BE PREPARED!
Miami Given
Fair Warning

Other incentives? Mira VS..
Sinner. Mira VS.. the Terps'
classy pass defense. The Terps'
undefeated record.
They're billing it as Sinner
VS.. Mira" Nugent says, "and
I know Sinner wants to prove
that he's q match. I also think
our kids are ready to play a
great game on pass defense.
Tom Brown, Ernie Arizzi, Muir
mis- Banner these kids
have almost an instinct about
playing pass defense"
So far, Mira has knocked
over each of his quarterback
rivals. Every Miami opponent
has had a quarterback worth
touting. from Texas Christians
6-foot-7 Sonny Gibbs to Florida
States 5-foot-7 Eddie Feely.
When each game was over,
Mira gained more yards in
passing and total offense than
any other player on either
team.
Both Records Good
Statistically, there's little to
chose between Sinner and Mira.
Sinner ranks second nationally
in passing, Mira seventh, but
the Miami pitchman outranks
Sinner in total offense with
TAB yards to 1913. Mira is the
more dangerous runner.
In passing only, Mira has
fired for four touchdowns and
completed As of 102 shots for
618 yards. Sinner has three
touchdown passes, SIS compile
tions in "a attempts for 687
yards. Mira has had four inter-
ceptionS, Sinner three.
The Terps may have the in
centive, but the oddsmakers,
who deal in hard facts, figure
the Hurricanes have the edge.
They rate Miami a 6-point
favorite, the first time this
year Maryland has been cast
as underdog.

ager Ralph Houk was in a.
mood to discuss the matter fol-
lowing the hard-fought World
Series triumph over the stub
born San Francisco Giants.
However, it has been learned
that such skilled operators as
Johnny Blanchard, Hector Lo-
peg and Phil Linz will be used
as bait this winter to obtain a
top-flight starting pitcher and
an experienced relief pitcher.
Hamey and Houk weren't
fooled by the World, Series, in
which brilliant pitching carried
them to the clubs Goth cham
pionship. Houk used only six
pitchers in the seven games,
with three - w hitey Ford,
Ralph Terry and Bill Stafford
getting the starting assign
ments. Houk is fully aware
that he needs more than three
starters and more than six
pitchers for the 1862 = game
schedule next year. ..
Sure we could use more
pitching, but who couldn't?"
Houk asked. 1--WE may trade
for a pitcher at the winter
meetings, but we certainly do
not intend to break up our
team to get one. We're not
desperate by any means. And
remember, we have some high
ly promising youngsters coming
up from our own farm system. F"
HOuk Isn't Desperate
Houk laughed off reports
that Baltimore has offered
Highlander Milt Pappas for
Blanchard and Lopez, but the
rumor persists. Oriole Presi-
dent Lee MacPhail is said to be
willing to part with his youth
full 15-game winner for Blanch-
ard, who would become Balti-
more's first-String catcher, and
Lopez, who would play leftfield.
The Cardinals repeatedly have
offered Ernie Broglio, an effec-
tive highlander, to the Yam
KEGS for Linz. The bespectacled
utility infielder, who was bare
ly beaten by Tommy fresh in
a battle for a regular shortstop
berth while Tony Kubek was in
the Army, would be installed as
the regular shortStop by the
Cardinals.
Broglio or Pappas would fiji
| in nicely with Ford, Terry and
stafford and possibly Jim Bou-
ton, top candidate for the fifth
starting berth.
Highlander Roland Shell
don, who fell victim to the
sophomore jinx after an out
standing rookie year, and Jim
Coates, the middle Inning re-
lief pitcher, also are repeatedly
on the block. So are Bob Tur-
ley and Luis Arroyo, a pair OF
veteran pitchers who were OF
little use to the club last
season.
Meanwhile, the Cardinals
made it clear that yesterdays
acquisition of slugger George
Altman from the Cubs did not
take them out of the trading
market.
Cards Want ShOrtStOp
Our next aim is toward a
shortstop," General Manager
Bing Devine said. In addition
to Linz, the Cardinals have ex-
interest in Dick Groat
of the Pirates.
Altman, %, batted .318 and
had % homers and IA runs bat
ted in during the past season.
Going to st. Louis with him
were Pitcher Don Cardwell and
Catcher Moe Thacker. In ex-
change the Cubs received
Pitchers Larry Jackson and
Indy Mcdaniel and Catcher
Jim Sehaffer.

down by the Cardinals last

No Breather,
McPeak SAYS
0fEag|eGanle
BY LEWIS F. ATCHISON
Star Staff Writer

On paper the unDeaCen heu-
skins are a shoo-in against the
Eagles Sunday in Philadelphia.
On the practice field they're
sweating like they had a
double-h e ader coming up
against the Packers. Why?
IT remember that the Eagles
beat us at Charlotte, 24-7,"
Coach Bill McPeak says, refer
ring to one Of the Redskins
preseason d efeats. We've
improved since then, but I
don't think they've gone back
as much as everybody says.
You can't write off a team with
their personnel because Of a
few losses, and the worst thing
for us would be for our guys
to think this will be a breather.
IL wont pc.
Better Than Pictured 1
The Redskins coach wasn't
surprised by Dallas victory
over the Eagles last Sunday.
Bill rates Dallas offense one Of
the best balanced in the league.
Only Green Bay has gained
more ground than the Cowboys,
but the Eagles have gained
more by passing than every
body.
1.-THE week before, Pittsburgh
needed an intercepted pass and
a field goal to beat Philadel-
phia 1877, at Pittsburgh" Nc
Peak said. "And the week be-
fore that the Eagles slaugh-
tered the Browns, 35-7. Those
two games alone prove they
aren't as bad as some writers
are saying. They've still got
the nucleus Of the team that
won the championship in 1860
and finished second last year.
That's not a bad record"
Moving King Hill to quar-
terback ahead Of Sonny Jur-
gensen won't hurt at all, in
McPeak's opinion, although he
rated Sonny the finest quarter
back in the league last year.
Hill FavOrs ROIl-Out
"Hill moved the team against
us as Charlotte, if you recall,
Bill said. HE favors a roll-out
type of pass more than Jurgen-
sen. They miss Pete Retzlaff,
but they've still got Tommy
Mcdonald and don't overlook
Tim Brownies the best pass
receiving halfback in the
league. They're one-two in the
league standings this week.
"And Brown also is extremely
dangerous on punt and kickoff
returns. That'll kill a team
quicker than anything-plug-
ging away for a touchdown
then having a kid like Brown
take the kickoff all the way
and get it back. 1t knocks the
props out from under you"
McPeak's concern was re-
Elected in yesterdays pass de-
tense drill, which had Red
skin backs going in every direc-
ton. The plan looked good,
when it worked, but it's one of
those split-second, intricate
things which easily can be
fouled up by one false step.
The trouble with all of Nc
Peaks well-laid plans is that
the guy on the other end is do
ing pretty much the same thing
shaking up his squad, put
ting in a new wrinkle here and
a defensive switch there.
II worked with (Nick) Skor-
ich at Pittsburgh" Bill recalled.
1--WE were teammates before we
got into coaching and in my
opinion he Is one of the most
excellent coaches in the Ma
tional Football League. He'll
have his team ready for the
game and I hope our boys
realize it."
