Birdie: Yunks May Fall
With Berro Fudine Out

MIAMI SPRINGS, FEB. l9.-Birdie
Tebbetts doesn't look like golfer, nor does
he play like one. He is, using a kindly
term, portly. What's more, baseball is his
beat and Birdie was participating in the
National Baseball Golf Tournament strictly
for kicks.
The new manager Of the Cleveland
Indians has been knocking around ball
fields for quite spell now, starting with
New Bedford in 1884 Then, making the
grade as big league catcher for the Tigers,
Red Sox and Indians playing in a
world Series catching in three ALL
Star games :. managing at Indianapolis
and Cincinnati and Milwaukee.
Now, after seven-year penance in the
National League as a manager, Birdie is
back In the American as boss of those
crazy, unpredictable Indians, who finished
sixth last season and cost Mel McGaha
bis Job.
We're probably not going to win any
pennant this year." Birdie forthrightly
admits. "A club that winds up in sixth
place needs lot of help. But I'll say this
much-it doesn't necessarily follow that
the Yankees are going to win again."
1T SEEMS TO BE A practice of late
for sports figures to find the wrong saloons

Reds. More recently some National Foot

Then you'll see who was the bread-and-

TEBBETTs is WELL AWARE that the
Yankees have won seven pennants in the
last eight years and 10 times in le seasons
under the stewardship OF Bucky Harris,
Casey stengel and Houk.

kept Yogi in there, even when Berra was
half-crippled."
Old catchers are apt to favor catchers
and magnify their Importance. Tebbetts
insists this isn't altogether true.
Yogi was Yankee symbol" he at
tests. He was the link between the
DiMaggio era and the present. If the
image he built is lost, it could make a
difference.
Anyway" Birdie shrugged as he held

hand, yogi wasn't Just catcher. stengel
and Houk stuck him in the outfield many
a time, and he didn't hurt the Yankees"
TEBBETTS is A hard-hitting manager
who pulls no punches. and maybe he is
exactly what the Indians need. He is an
ardent admirer of Stengel.
Casey did the greatest Job ever saw
In not permitting a championship team to
become complacent," Birdie said. "The
more successful player becomes the more
likely he'll fall into the habit of easing
OF bit. It's easy to fall off into
mediocrity.
I've noticed times when Stengel
chewed out Mantle when he was leading
the league in hitting. He used to give
Whitley Ford the hard bit at time when
ne almost never lost a game. He gave It
to Berra :. kidding like, you'd say !.
but the thrust was there.
He kept the guys on their toes.
whether they were stars or otherwise"
Tebbetts has his own ideas about COM
placency concerning players who aren't on
winning clubs. Lots of guys on second
division teams are content TO finish there"
he says. There's no strain on them. I
intend TO do something about that matter"
BIRDIE HAS THE determined look of
q new boss who Is going TO wiring out
whatever is left in the Indians However,
he tempers his attitude.
They may not think so, but my taking
over this team is big break for many of
the players. A lot Of them had bad years
In 1862. I was managing Milwaukee that
season, so they are starting off fresh with
me and my judgment will be based on
what they show In spring training"
The Indians have no solid pitching,
aside from Dick Donovan, refugee from
the Senators. He's my one pitcher-he
won 20 last season." Tebbetts says. THE
others have got to prove they belong"
One Of the rest" is Sam Mcdowell.

another as he tumbled toward
the ropes.
Woodland, conceding height
and reach to Brewer, bounced
around like a rubber ball, try
ing to offset his handicap by
speed and surprise blows. He
was doing well until five seconds
before the end of the third
round when Brewer caught him
with a sharp left hook to the
head, followed by a grazing
right to the same sector.
Stage ROusing Finish
Calvin tumbled full length on
his back, and although he
bounced up instinctively, his
eyes were glazed. With more

& Cold On RIGHTS

Denver (ANP) - Former Presi-

hot and cold on civil rights issues,
according to his mood and to whom
he is talking, was both hot and
cold last week.
In Denver during a stopover en-
route to Las Vegas Truman said
he didn't think Negroes are being
too insistent in contending for civil
rights.
The suggestion to resign from
the st. Louis club was proposed to
Truman, st. Louis Mayor Raymond
r. Tucker and County Supervisor
Lawrence K. Ross by the magazine
Focus Midwest, in an editorial. The
magazine challenged the moral
right of community leaders to
honor discriminatory practices in
private" clubs by their member
ship.
Truman answered the editorial
at a dinner honoring Sen. Young
of Ohio by saying:
e.. IF the Northern busy bodies
would stay at home and clean up
their own backyards, the rest of
the country will obey its laws.
Those Southerners are anxious to
do what the law requires them to
do. They want to give equal rights
to Negroes"
The Focus magazine took Tru-
man up on his challenge by saying:
"Au right, let us start in OUR
backyards."
