SPECIAL FOR APRIL PlEQAN ICE CREAM Manager Alston On Spot With Brooklyn Club By OSCAR FRAI.KV lulled Press Sports Writer NEW YORK (UP) Walter Em mons Alston, the manager of (lie Brooklyn Dodgers, picked up the nickname "Smokey" as kid pitch er and there are indications today that in desperation he may live up to the sobriquet long regarded as a. misnomer in his maturity. Alston is a quiet man whose re ticence was even more noticeable as he followed in the wake of such as Leo Durocher and Charley Dres sen. But, after a disappointing sea son which he met with silence, Alston again is starting to smoke. The answer is that the pressure on him has been tremendous and there is no question but what this season his job is at stake. Walt's Armor Cracks His recent clash with Jacirie Robinson was the first crack in Alston's armor of imperturbability. Robinson complained to writers that he wasn t being used enough. Alston buttonholed Robinson ar.d told him flatly she should have come to the manager and curtly told the writers it wasn't any of their business who he played, or when. There are a number of factors behind this sudden blast. Alston is a man who must win the National League pennant this year to pro tect his job. The Robinson com plaint is another tlpoff on the dis sension which was revealed on the club last season. And to compli cate matters, every time Alston looks up he sees his eventual suc cessor in the person of PeeWce Reese. ' Disscntion Still Present Tho Dodgers finished second last year, which hardly would be a catastrophe in most other towns, but there was much harpooning in (he general direction of Alston. Eventually he was retained for an other year because President Walt er O'Malley was committed, hav ing brought in Alston as his man after Dressen was released. Dissension is apparent in the Robinson affair, yet it is only a hangover from last season. Thop it was revealed that several mal contents were keeping late hours in various bistros, and Robinson was the center of their discussion, then too. All of which odds up to more and more pressure. Not long ago; Drossen commented that the Dodg ers should win in a walk. Such things merely add to the general heat on Alston as that boyhood nickname starts to fit again.
