Keone Really Earned
His Place in the Sun
BY FRANCIS sTANN

mented after the season. "Gotay did his
best, guess, but 1t was bad. I thought we'd
win"
"A Shortstop one man could
mean the difference between winning and
finishing sixth?" Stan was asked.
"It could, and did," Musial replied
WED have a good infield If we could plug
that hole"
A SHORT TIME LATER November
1862 -. st. Louis acquired Dick Groat in a
trade with Pittsburgh. And Musial's words
were borne out, not that the Cards have
won the pennant yet, but to the extent that
when the National Leaguers took the field
in the All-Star game in July the infield was
all-Cardinal. Ken Boyer at third, Groat at
short, Julian Javier at second and Bill
White at first.
Keane got a break, too, when young
Tim McCarver, bonus boy, made 1t big be-
hind the plate this season. McCarver was
born the same year-1941-that Musial
broke into the majors with the Cards. He
came out Of Memphis and turned down
football scholarships at Notre Dame, Ten
ressee and other schools to grab the $4,000
bonus.
Back to Keane, himself. He was always
Cardinal-owned, even as kid and a men,
Der of the st. Louis Knothole Gang The
record book shows that his minor league
performances were consistently fair to
good, but he never got a call from the
parent club.
1T DIDN'T HELP Johnny's playing ca
reer when he was skulled by pitch in 1895
while playing for Houston. 1t was a bad
beaning that left him unconscious for a
week and hospitalized for seven. A couple of
times the medics privately gave up on him.
Ironically, Keane's managerial rival in
this dog-eat-dog MI fight is Walter Aston
OF the Dodgers also a former member Of
the Cardinal chain gang and also a con-
firmed minor league player. Aston toiled
for Is years as a player, making an aggre-
gate Of 80 seasons for both, and all they had
TO show for II was Waits name appearing
once in ST. Louis box score
In 1885 Aston batted once for the
Cards and struck out. Then Walt, like
Keane, became bush league manager for
l3 seasons before he was called up TO boss
the then Brooklyn Dodgers in 1854
Smokey, which is what Aston Is called
is nice guy and guilty fellow, but 1t
seems that most of the sentimentalists are
pulling for Keane land Musial and Curt
Simmons, ct all because it's been long
time between pennants for the Cards, and
never one for Keane. Besides smokey's
already won three flags.

WlN LOSE OR DRAW

LET'S SEE NOW What Is there to
remember about Johnny Keane? Well, he's
afairly little guy; doughty may be the word.
Johnny is 50 years old and looks every bit
of it. His graying hair is sparse and sort of
grows in row at the top, like an Indians
haircut
This native of ST. Louis, who may be
leading the Cardinals 10 their first pennant
in II years, is friendly but not colorful
Johnny had been a ball player once, but
only on minor league level, like Joe Nc
Carthy! Never appeared in a single ig-time
game. s.c IA
Sixteen years he spent in the bushes,
playing for 10 clubs in circuits like the
Arizona State, Blue Ridge, Western Associa-
tion, Evangeline, Georgia Florida, Pony,
American Association, international, Texas
and Southeastern.
Sixteen years he spent managing farm
clubs in the Cardinal chain, and both his
playing and managerial tenures we're in
terrupted when he dropped out of organized
ball in 1942-4S-44-45. So Keane started in
the business long time ago .sf.
*%&&
EARLY IN JULY, 1861, the Cardinals
gave Manager Solly Hemus his pink slip be-
cause they we're In sixth place. Keane, who
had been coaching the Redbirds since 1859,
was moved up. Baseball men remarked:
"Wen, see Gussie Busch is giving oil
John his place in the sun Wonder who the
next real manager will be?"
That's how Keane's promotion was re-
garded as temporary thing. The Cards
moved up one notch TO fifth when the sea-
son was over, but they were IS games back
of the Cincinnati Reds. Stan Musial had q
bad year for him (28S) and people won-
dered II Busch would make him non-play-
ing manager.
But In the spring Of 80 Keane still was
running the club and Musial, talking one
day in Florida, said:
"Keane's a good manager. Me2 No, I
didn't have any ambitions along that line.
I'd Just like TO have one more good season
to wind me up" Stan batted 800 and de-
cided TO postpone his retirement another
year.
IN KEANE's FIRST FULL season the
Cards dropped to sixth place l71a games be-
hind the San Francisco Giants, and by mid
season there was new speculation as to
whether he'd be back. Early in '62 Johnny
had said:
"A lot depends on our catching and our
shortstop" Gene Oliver was the backstop
and Julio Gotay was trying TO make 1t at
short. Neither had the ability to lift the
team.

The Senators, virtually ig-
nored by their fans of late, and
even slapped down by the
weatherman for the last two
days, close their home season
in games with the Athletics to-
night and tomorrow night in
D. c. Stadium.
For the third straight year
the Senators are going to fall
at least one game short of COM
pleting their home schedule.
They had a game with the
Twins washed out in 1861, one
with the Red Sox last year,
and yesterday the final of the
White Sox series was rained
out.
1t will be made up in Chi
cago Friday, September 81 in a
twi-night double-header.
Moe Drabowsky, who gave up
only a bunt single by Don Bias
ingame when he beat the Sen
ators, 30, August 20, will OPP
pose Bennie Daniels in the
semi-windup of the home sea-
son tonight.
AS Series Tied
Despite their lowly station,
46 games behind the Yankees
and IA games out of ninth
place, the Senator'S still have
an opportunity to win or square

clubs, and Kansas City is one
of them.
They are 8-8 with the Ath-
letics, and already have fin
ished all even at nine games
each with the Red Sox and
Angels. They lead the Tigers,
81, with three games remain
ing In Detroit next week.
The Orioles, Yankees, Twins
and White Sox have been the
biggest contributors to the
Senators 81 defeats.
Yesterdays game was called
at 1870, and even If the rain
had stopped by then 1t would
have taken several hours to
make the field fit for play. But
President Joe Cronin of tn e
American League would n Il
permit the game to be called
as long as there was a chance
of playing it. The weather
forecast had called for the rain
to stop in the early afternoon.
Officials Confer
AS it stands the Senators
probably will make more money
from their 80 per cent share
of the gate of the September
81 twi-nighter in Chicago than
they would have by playing
here yesterday afternoon. Or
perhaps 1t should be said they
will lose less.
The Senator's front office will
attempt to do something about
the sad situation Of the club
in organizatlonal meetings Of
the minor league managers and
scouts today and tomorrow in
d. C. Stadium. More than 20
members of the organization
will discuss the talent available
in the farm system.
Jack Sheehan, one Of the
Senators special assignment
ai6es, signed an infielder from
Chicago yesterday.
He is 20-year-old Joe Lee
Boyles, 6-feet-1 and 160
pounds, who bats left and
throws right. Boyles attended
Crane Junior College and
played American Legion ball.
He was signed to a Wisconsin

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 1.-THE
case against the Dodgers, seri-
ously suspected of being choke
ups unable to take the pres
sures Of another photo finish
pennant race. will be continued
tonight with mounting evi-
dence that : this time they'll
beat the rap they were so
shockingly guilty of last year.
Assured of leaving st. Louis
still in first place no matter
what happens the next two
evenings, the Dodgers produce
a key witness to support the
contention the 1868 National
League title will be theirs when
the arguments are completed
two weeks from now.
Sandy Koufax, whose % VIC
tories include three straight
over the Cardinals, moves in
trying to stretch Los Angeles
lead to three full games over
the high-flying Redbird entry
which had its 10-game winning
streak clipped, 81, last night.
Koufax, pitching In normal
rotation again with three full
days rest, will be opposed by
another lefty, Curt Simmons,
the Phillies retread, whose 1877
mark lists two losses and no
wins against Los Angeles this
season.
Threat of Disgrace
For a moment last night 1t
appeared the Dodgers, who blew
a four-game lead and the PEN
nant In a playoff with the
Giants last year, might be
headed for similar disgrace
again.
In the seventh inning Stan
Musial unseated them from the
10 lead they had provided for
Pitcher Johnny Podres with a
home run that sent 32,422
screaming fans into ecstacy. It
was only the second hit Podres
had allowed, and the results
Of the 322-foot rooftop shot to
rightfield were quickly evident.
Podres, never once behind a
batter, quickly ran up a three
balls, one-strike log on Ken
Boyer before inducing him to
foul out to leftfield on the next
pitch. Maury Wills then bobbled
Bill Whites grounder, and Curt
Flood followed with a line sin
gle to center.
This brought Manager Walt
Aston to the mound for an
emergency meeting with Podres,
and after much deliberation 1t
was decided to leave PoGres
lin the game. The move proved
Evening star., 1963-09-17

sound. The best Charlie James,
a two-time strikeout victim,
could do was a harmless,
inning-ending fly to center to
unscramble the Dodger plight.
It was the last Cardinal threat.
PerranOskl Finishes
Podres, who retired the first
Is in order, worked a 1928
eighth inning and Ron Per-
ranoski, brought in when Bill
Skowron batted for Podres in
the ninth, finished off the
PORES three-hitter with a per-
feet last-inning wrapup job.
In the jubilant Dodger dress
ing room after the game, AL
ston revealed he was about to
remove E2dres and bring in
PerranoSki to pitch to James,
but was talked out of it by
Podres.
I'D say there is evidence to
prove Johnny was right" AL
ston smiled.
Cardinal Manager Johnny
Keane, on the other hand, also
made a pitching change, but
this one backfired on him with
explosive force.
He yanked Ernie Broglio for
Pinch-hitter Bob Gibson, a
pitcher being used for emer-
gency batting purposes for the
first time in his major league
career, with one out in the
eighth. Gibson, who had batted
in 20 runs this year, flied out.
Bobby Shantz, Broglio's sue
cessor, was worked over for the
two ninth-inning runs that
produced the Los Angeles VIC
tory. Ron Fairly's double and
Willie Davis run-producing
single fetched the tie-breaking
run. A walk and Second Base
man Julian Javier's throwing
error accounted for the second
score.
Keane's Move Fails
Ironically. Fairly and Davis
are both lefthanded batters
and 1t was Keane's purpose, in
removing the righthanded
Broglio, to confront them with
southpaw Shantz, one of tn e
best in the league in retiring
lefthanded batters. However,
last night was not one of
Shantz's better performances.
"Broglio complained his Ell
bow was stiffening a biz"
Keane said, "but the real rea-
son I took him out was
wanted Shantz to pitch against
Fairly, Roseboro and Willie
Davis" sighed the under
Stan6ably disappointed Keane
1T didn't work out, but it's
not the end of the world. Wen
