Roseboro was short-hopping these de-
hveries as if he were picking cherries. If
there was an unsung hero it was the
bespectacled Los Angeles catcher, whose
firSt-game homer that ruined the Yankees
was all but forgotten Roseboro had to
be sharp to compare with Howard, who
had two TOUCHES to catch in Downing
and Bouton, but the Dodger proved him
self.
WHEN THE MI ADOPTED its system
of strengthening the Have-Nots there was
no great enthusiasm on the part of Paul
Richards and Casey Stengel of the Houston
Colts and Nets, respectively. There might
be one player on the whole list who could
help us" Richards said, land since the
Nets won the coin toss for first choice, we
probably won't get him. 1t was a nice
gesture, I suppose, but that's ALL"
Casey was standing behind the L. A.
batting cage when he aired his own dim
view of the plan to have the eight "estab-
lished" MI teams make one or more of
four players off their August 81 roster
available at $4,000 apiece.
II can name the four off this team
right now" Casey said, referring to the
Dodgers, and "and they won't help us
on account of we got guys just like EN-"
And Old Doubletalk did identity four,
proving that if necessary he can drop
names instead of using that fella.D
They'll give a choice of Breeding.
Walls, Sherry and Rowe" Casey mumbled
Nov I want to know how one of these
fellaS can help, which I know all four of
'em can't do"
SOME, NOT ALL, of Caseys old YAM
KEGS went out of their way to greet their
ex-manager in his role as series diagnosti-
clan for the AsSociatde Press.
Now if the American League did the
same thing, l could name the four off
Mister Topping's club, too, and they
wouldn't do no good" Casey said. "They
will give you Arroyo and Dale Long :"
Arroyo wasn't with the Yankees on
August 81" he was reminded, "and Long
was coach"
II will give you Bright, Kunkel Reed
and Bridges" said Stengel without break
ing stride. Nov, like in our league, you
can buy these fellas cheaper than $4,000
without any new plan"
One of the New York newspapermen
outlined plan of his own to Aston that
was dedicated to equalizing the National
League. What they ought to do" he
said, "is make each of the established
teams take four Of the MetS-and play

MK LOSE OR DRAW
Sweep Buttons The Lip;
Moose Wants Reprieve

NOT THE LEAST of the blessings be-
slowed on mankind by the instant World
Series was that it shut up Leo Durocher.
Not even The Lip was so bold as to recite
how he could have managed the Dodgers
to victory in three games.
AS for Walt Alston's being hailed as
"a genius, tactician, strategist and pSychol-
ogist," let it be said that OF Smokey is the
same manager he was in 62, when his
club fell apart. Aston did his best to point
this out ("Things just worked out little
better") but you know how it is. People
can't bear to see an unoccupied pedestal.
When you boil 1t down the Yankees
were a slump shackled club that was
beaten by Dodger lineup that won't hold
up well under close inspection. 1t can't be
compared with most pennant winners of
the past, regardless of league. Dick
TracewSh at second base? Last March the
Dodgers tried to trade him to the Senators,
who took one look at his PA average at
Spokane in '62 and said No Thanks.
ONLY BECAUSE Whitley FORD and
AL Downing were opening for the Yankees
did Moose Skowron play first base for
Aston. He had been colossal flop during
the season and the grapevine had him
ticketed for trade to Washington. Moose
still might wind up at D. C. Stadium as
part of the Marv Breeding deal.
Skowron had a good series, in which
he was Alston'S second leading average
hitter. BY his tone in the clubhouse,
especially after his impressive first game,
you sensed the guy was hoping for a re-
aprieve. 81 don't ever want to leave this
club" Moose said
Maybe they'll keep him." conceded
one National League manager. But it's
hard to see how four-game series can
cancel out that 203 batting average ALI
he proved against the Yankees is that he
can hit American League pitching"
%#*
BEST OF THE DODGERS, pitchers
excepted, is Tommy Davis, now an estab-
lished hitter on the strength of back-to-
back bat titles. They are woefully thin on
the bench, what with Tracewski, Breeding,
Lee Walls, Doug Camilli.
Their defensive standout, it says here,
is the catcher, John RoSeboro. Both series
catchers, Roseboro and Elston Howard,
showed magnificent hands and reflexes in
receiving some hard-to-handle pitchers.
Even from the high stands and on the
TV screen, Sandy Koufax' tremendous
drop-off curve is plain to see. From
ground-level vantage point behind the
plate the mans stuff is aweSome. When
he Is pitching low, perhaps two out Of five
pitches hit the dirt.

So far the Terps are as en-

And so are the oddsmakers,
whose mid-week line surprising

There's an element of risk in
starting an INFESTED quarter
back against the veteran Tar
Heels, but the Terps have no
other choice. Dick Sinners hip

done anything more than warm

Keane Runaway as N. l. Manager Of Year
Cards Pilot Gets
3Votes, Aston IS

NEW YORK, Oct. 9 CAP).-
Johnny Keane, who piloted the
Cardinals to a surprising Sec
ond-place finish, was named to-
day as National League Man.
ager Of the Year for 1868.
The 81 = year old Redbirds
skipper was an Overwhelming
choice in the annual Associated
Press poll of sports writer's
and sportScasters. OF the II
ballots cast, Keane received So
votes.
Walter Aston, manager Of
the world champion Dodgers,
was second with is votes. Bobby
Bragan, whose Braves finished
sixth, got the remaining three
votes. Gene Mauch of the
Phils, who was manager of the
year in 1862. failed to get a
vote this year.
Seasons Showing Counts
The balloting was based on
the teams performances dur
ing the regular season.
The Cards. who weren't rated
as a pennant threat in the pre-
season evaluation, stayed in
contention for first place most
Of the year. They began to
fade in late August and were
in third place, seven games be-
hind the Dodgers on August 80.
They then launched a STIR
ing stretch drive, winning 10
of 20. including a 10-game VIC
tory streak. The Cards passed
the second-place Giants an d
moved to within one game of
the league-leading Dodgers on
September IS.
The Redbirds then went into
a vital three-game series at
home against Los Angeles and
found they had run out of gas.
The fired-up Dodgers swept the
three-game set, captured tn e
flag and kept right on going
to sweep the Yankees in the
World Series.
Jump From Sixth
The Cardinals finished six
games behind Los Angeles and
five games ahead of third-place
San Francisco. They wound up
with SO victories and SO defeats.
Last year st. Louis was a sixth
place finisher with an S4-78
won-lost record, 171a games off
the pace.
Despite the lack of a 2O-gamt

winner, Keane nodded a steady
pitching staff that was led By
Ernie Broglio and Bob Gibson,
both of whom won 10 games.
The hitting was solid with Dick
Groat, Bill White, Ken Boyer
and Curt Flood providing most
of the punch.
Stan Musial, in his last year,
supplied some key hits down
the stretch and young Tim Nc
Carver proved a capable
catcher in his sophomore sea-
son.
Up From Minors
But it was Keane who made
the team mesh in his second
full season at the helm. The
veteran minor league manager
had been a Cardinal coach
when he replaced Solly Hemus
as pilot on July 6, 1861. ST.
Louis was in sixth place when
Keane was appointed manager
and the club ended the season
fifth.
Keane, who never made the
majors as a player, was an in
fielder in the Cards farm sys-
tenn. He worked his way UP
as manager through the chain,
starting with Albany in the
Georgia-Florid League In 1898.
Among his other stops were
Houston, Rochester, Columbus
and Omaha.

troublesome. But Brown is in
a class by himself.
Hes a go man." Bill pointed
out. He runs inside and out
side. He returns punts and
kickoffs and he catches passes.
He's the kind who really can
break a game open. You can't
give him an inch or he's gone.
He's the most dangerous half
back We'll meet all season."
10000 Seats Sold
Ed Hogan, the Eagles pub
licity director, had said some
thing like that a little earlier.
Hogan, in town drumming up
business for the game, could
have stood in bed" More than
10000 tickets already have
been sold and If the fine
weather continues it may be
the Redskins second straight
sellout.
Tins a fine boy" Hogan
said. 1--WE think he's great and
we picked him UP as a free
agent after Green Bay dropped
him in 1860. We intended to
use him as a spotback but he's
our leading runner, third lead
ing pass receiver, and the man
who handles most of the punt
and kickoff returns.
He is a singer of Sorts"
Hogan went on. 81 think he's
made four records. But if he
could sing like he plays foot
ball he'd be a star. If our line
ever gives him that second
block you'll see some real
running"
Long Plays Hurt
Brown has a 4.2-yard aver
age carrying the ball-222 yards
on SO carries = and has 202
yards with Is passes. But the
most impressive figures, from
the Redskins point of view, are
buried in the statistics. Such
items as a 100-yard kickoff re-
turn against the Cardinals and
80-yard dash with a pass
against the Cowboys. Browns
longest gain to date on a
straight running play is 81
yards, but don't count on it
remaining at that figure.
Brown also is durable. He
played 343 minutes last year,
more than any teammate,
gained almost a mile and one
half, counting everything, and
scored 81 touchdowns for one
of the best all-around per-
formances in Eagle history.
The Redskins remember his
99-yard kickoff return against
them here. But this is old hat
for him. In his first season he
scooted los yards with the
opening kickoff of the Cleve-
land game. These plays Illus
trate his speed. But more i'm
portant, Brown is nimble. He
slips through cordons of de-
fensive players like a mouse
after seemingly being trapped
for a loss. You've got to knock

but when he arrived at the Oak
Crest Country Club he was told
their policy did not permit

This action brought q letter
of protest from Bill Meyers
deputy director of the Peace
Corps, who said he hoped the
club would change its policy
barring Negroes.
"One Of the points in which
Peace Corps volunteers are
hard pressed in often-repeated
