Stengel, who managed clubs In
the National League for nine
years, has been hoss of the Oak
land Oaks of the Pacific Coast
League for the past three years.
His club this year won both the
league pennant and the league
playoffs.
The announcement came )ust
exactly 25 years to the day Sten

in the 1923 world series.
Hli salary under the two year
pact was not disclosed. The new
manager of the Yankees the
fifth for the club In less than
three seasons is 57 years, old
and was born In Kansas City.
He managed Brooklyn for
three years. 1934 to 1936. but re
ceived greater lame for not man
aging the club in 1937 although
drawing his full salary. Both
New York clubs now are headed
by former Brooklyn pilots, Leo
Durocher coming ac. oss ihe
bridge to guide the New York Gi
ants this summer.
During his playing career Sten
gel was an outfielder and his bat

Also Known As Clown
In addition to his ability as a
teacher of young players, Stengel
also is known as a clown. It was
he who once lifted his can to an

After managing the Dodger"
he was Boss of the Boston Braves
from 1938 through 1943. He was
manager at Milwaukee in 1944. at
Kansas City 1945 and at Oakland
the past three years.
When coaching at first base,
Stengel often whistled "Yankee
Doodle." This Is the story behind
that tune by Casey.

Ight at bat you could almost hear
him squeak. The late John J. Mc
Graw, a master of psychology, or
dered Casey to whistle Yankee
Doodle every time he stepped to
the plate.
Stengel did and was soon re
laxed. He began hitting the ball
regularly. Casey has used this
simple method since he began
managing clubs and with success.

the ICC grant an eight per cent
increase immediately while the
commission is considering the
