First Same Is Crucial One
Says Former Pirate Star
PITTSBURGH (AP) The first; let in the winning run in I 4-3
game i the crucial one for the
Pirates in the 57th World Series,
says oldtimer Harold (fie) iray
nor. O
"Pittsburgh has to take the first
one," the gray-haired Hall of Fame
star said today. "It's necessary
for the Pirates morale. It's nec
essary to slow down the Yankees'
momentum.
"The Yankees go into the series
on a 15-game winning streak. Mo
mentum is a big thing. The Pi
rales have to break this drive im
mediately, or they are in trouble."
Member of Team
Traynor, 60, but still trim, was
a member of the Pittsburgh team
which lost four straight to the Yank
ees in 1927 the Ihst time the Pi
rates made the World Series.
"It was quite a different case
then," said the famous infielder,
now a Pittsburgh radio commenta
tor. "We were completely burned
out when we reached the series
and the Yankees were relaxed aft
er winning the pennant by 19
games.
"We had to fight all the way,
We never were more than a game
or so ahead. We never could relax
or catch a deep breath. So when
we got into the Series it wasn't a
case of panic, it was sheer ex
haustion.
Even so. Traynor added, the
Tirates had their opoortunities be
cause the Yankees even with the
Eieat Babe Ruth. Lou Gehrig. Boh
Meusel and Earle Combs didn't
play their best ball.
Had It Pretty Easy
"They had had it pretty easy
and so they were a little stale."
he said. "I remember we were
leading in the first game but final
ly blew it 5 4. Then in the fourth
gama Johnny Miljus had a wild
pitch with the bases loaded and
game.
Actually, the Pirates never led
in the first game of the 1927 world
Series. The Yankees scored in
their first time at bat and the
best the Pirates did was to tie
1-1 in the bottom of the first. The
Yankees took a 4-1 lead in the
top of the third and stayed in
front.
"Still it was a great Yankee
team. I recall Babe Hulh hit a
couple of homers. I think it was
one of the three greatest teams I
ever saw. The others were the
1919 White Sox, with Shoeless Joe
Jackson, Eddie Collins and Ray
Sihalk. and the 1929 Athletics,
with ilickey Cochrane, Jimmy
Koxx, Lefty Grove and Al Sim
mons. Had Nothing Left
"Ours was a fine club, too. We
just didn't have anything left. In
the series, Lloyd Waner was down
to 127 pounds and Paul Waner was
134. I weighed 154. We all were
some 20 pounds below our usual
weight."
How does he predict the series?
"The Pirates in seven. If they
played 12 games, I'd pick 'em in
12. If they played 154, I'd say
they'd win on the 154th. It's that
kind of a ball club," Traynor said.

Cubs Seeking Manager
To Replace Boudreau
CHICAGO (AP) The Chicago
Cubs were again on the man
ageral merry-go-round today hop
ing to pluck off a gold ring a
manager that can win.
The Cubs have had several
field managers in 11 years. Their
latest boss, Lou Boudreau, quit
Tuesday after asking but not
receiving a long-term contract.
He's going back to the job he had
before joining the Cubs: baseball
color announcer for Chicago radio
station WGN.
- Boudreau left the broadcasting
booth for the baselines May 4, re
placing Charlie Grimm as Cub
pilot.
Guesswork placed Phil Cavar
retta, former Cub star and man
ager, high on the list of replace
ments for Boudreau. Other names
tossed around included those of
Al uark, a utility player with Mil
waukee; Bob Scheffing, another
former Cub manager; and Bill
Klgney, ex-manager of the San
Francisco Giants.
The Cubs this season finished
In seventh place with one of their
worst records in years, 60-94.
Washington State
Top Pass Team
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Washington State is the passing
est team in major college football
at this stage of the season and
Hugh Campbell is the reason.
Campbell, a 6-1, 183-pound sopho
more end, didn't get into the first
game at all. But in two games
since then, he has hsuled in 21
passes for 336 yards and five touch
downs. Bill Voss of Hardin-Simmnna
also has caught 21 passes in three
games, but has gained only 195
yaros ana scored once.
Never before since the NCAA
Service Bureau has been compiling
aiausucs navo two piayera nad as
many as 42 catcnes between them
at this stage.
Dave Hoppman of Iowa State
continued to lead in total offense
and rushing. In three games,
Hoppman has gained 551 vards
total to S49 for Jim Wright of
Memphis State, and has picked up
431 yards on the ground, 40 more
than Bob Gaiters of New Mexico
State.
PITTSBURGH (AP) Joe Gor
don today signed a two-year con
tract to manage the Kansas City
Athletics.
Gordon, in a surprise move,
quit the Detroit Tigers Monday
following an unprecedented man
agerial swaD which had sent him
from Cleveland to Detroit last
summer in exchange for Manager
Jimmy Dykes.
The former second baseman of
the New York Yankees and In
dians agreed to terms following
a half-hour conference with Parke
Carroll, general manager of the
Kansas City club.
"Everything is fine, I feel we
ran do a good job in Kansas City.
We have a lot of young fellows
and that's what I like," said Gor
don.
"I have two or three things in
mind but I cannot say what they
are right now."
Gordon said he would select nis
coaches within a week or two.
One who is certain to be with him
is JoJo White, who had been his
coach first with Cleveland and
then with Detroit.
The Athletics Monday fired Bon
Elliott as manager. They had
him only last year. His entire
coacning siau went wun mm.
The Athletics finished a poor
last this year, losing nearly 100
games.
The A's drew about 750.000 In
attendance, about 100,000 under
the coal thev had set. Several
groups reportedly have been in
terested in buying the franchise.
There have been reports that it
would be transferred to Los An
geles. The present franchise to
continue in Kansas City still has
two years to run.
The old skioDer Casey Stengel
probably will remain as manager
of the New York Yankees, ana
Ralph Houk, widely considered
Stengel's successor, probably will
become the manager of the Detroit
Tieers.
This managerial turnanom
shaned iid todav in the wake of
the firing of Manager Bob Elliott
by Kansas City, Lou Boudreaus's
resignation at Chicago and Joe
Gordon s walkout at Detroit.
Other reports circulating at
World Series headquarters were:
1. Gordon will manage the Ath
letics, i
2. Bob Scheffing, just re-signed
as Milwaukee Braves' coach, has
the inside track to succeed Tom
Sheehan as manager of the San
Francisco G a hits. The only thing
positive is that Sheehan will not
return in 1961.
3, Bill Rigney, replaced by Shee
han as Giant manager last May
i,s a leading candidate for the man
aging job with the Chicago Cutis.
Fare: Rigney has applied for the
Detroit job.
No rumors, but actual happen
ings, although not yet announced,
are the signing of Don Heffner as
Detroit couch and the hiring of
Mel McGaha as Cleveland coach.
Heffner recently was given his re
lease as coach bv the Athletics
McGaha managed Toronto to the
International League champion
ship, but lost to Louisville in the
Little World Series.
Houk, regarded in New York as
neir apparent to Stengel's throne
when the 70-year-old wizard of the
dugouts quits, apparently has giv
en up hope of ever succeeding the
old man.
"I'm receptive to a good offer,"
he said. "I'm getting older and I
can't afford to let too many more
years slip by."
A year ago, Houk, 41, rejected
a bid to manage the Athletics, pre
ferring to remain with the Yan
kees as a coach.
It s difficult to discuss a man
agerial job with anybody current
ly on another club." said Detroit
President Bill DeWitt. "Houk has
lots of qualifications and he's very
highly respected by everybody in
baseball, including me, but right
now we are not yet ready to con
sider a manager. We have other
matters to solve.
"Nothing will be done until after
the World Series," he added.
It has been reported the Tieers'
board of directors, who1 postponed
an important policy meeting un
til Oct. 12 in Detroit, has decided
to curtail some of DeWitt'a power.
DeWitt had free reign in trades
and hiring and firing of personnel,
including managers.
Houk's decision to consider em
ployment elsewhere was taken as
a sign that Stengel would remain
with the Yankees.
"I think Casey will stay," said
a top New York official, "at least
I hope he does. Two months ago,
I would have bet anything he
would quit. I have changed my
mind."

Prothro Says Rule
Forcing Play Calls
CORVALLIS (AP) - Oregon
State coach Tommy Prothro in
sists he does not really want to
call his football team's plays.
But he feels the nation's foot
ball coaches changed the rules
last winter to legalize sideline
coaching and he does not intend
to let anyone have an advantage
over him, he said here.
Prothro sits in a scouting booth
atop the stadium and keeps quar
terbacks shuttling into the game
with plays he telephones to the
field.
To criticism that he was abus
ing the "wild card" rule, which
allows a plaver to enter the game
without penalty after every play,
rromro said:
"It is my opinion that the
people who wrote the rule know
enough about football to know that
there was a strong possibility that
some coaches would use tne wild
card rule to send in plays.
If it was their intention not
to allow this, I do not believe they
would have written the rule as
they did. As a matter of fact, I
hard a great deal of discussion
at the last coaches' convention
about making coaching from the
sidelines legal. However, when the
new wild card rule was adopted
that was dropped, as there was
no longer any need for it.
"If the use of the wild card to
call plays causes the rule to be
changed again to drop the wild
card, it would satisfy me com
pletely, as I am a member of the
minority group of coaches who do
not favor free substitution.
"As long as the rules specific
ally allow it, and there is nothing
in the ethics code against, I will
probably continue to use it in the
manner 1 am now.

skin at once. Split the carcass in
half and leave the last neck verte
brae connected to help balance the
halves while hanging.
Preferably let hang until the
meat is no longer sticky. Dry
meat is easier to keep clean. Hang
ing over night in the cold woods is
good. The meat gets cold and a
glaze forms on it.
If pack animals are unpractical,
cut the deer in quarters and drop
each quarter into an individual
clean cloth bag. Strap your load on
the pack board for carrying out of
the woods.
Hang In Cool Place
Immediately upon reaching your
destination, hang meat in a cool,
dry place. The cold storage locker
is ideal for cooling and aging meat,
but lots of good venison has been
cared for in the garage too.
In eastern Oregon, if you can't
get the deer back to camp and
skinned out immediately, field
dress and skin the deer in the field.
Hanging the deer in a tree is pre
ferred, but if this is impractical re
move the hide while the deer is
lying on the ground.
Use the skin, boughs and meat
sacks to keep meat clean while
skinning. After the skin is off, quar
ter the carcass and put the piec
es in individual meat sacks. Pack
back to camp and bang it up at
once. If it is not practical to carry
the meat back to camp right away,
hang it in a tree or lay it upon
poles or rocks on the ground. The
poles or rocks allow air to circu
late around the meat, speeding up
the cooling process.
Easier Handling
It is always best to let meat
hang and thoroughly cool before
moving it, according to Landforce.
When the meat gets a glaze over
it, handling is easier, and meat
can be kept much cleaner.
Deer eventually will cool out
when hung with the hide on. In
some cases deer are downed in
circumstances which make skin
ning impractical, but even then.
Landforce urges hunters to cool
the animal as quickly as possible
to keep the meat at its best.
