Managers Promise to Help
Stop Players' Gambling
"'New York WB Major league
managers responded to Com
missioner Ford Frick's warn
ing about gambling today with
pledges of cooperation, and
also with Individual denials
that there was any gambling
on their teams.
It was revealed yesterday
that Frick, possibly fearing
another "Black Sox" scandal
like that fomented by gam
blers in 1919, has sent a stern
message to each manager.
He warned the skippers they
should guard against card play
ing for nigh stakes among their
players and association by
their players with gamblers.
Frick said the managers will
be held responsible and "this
office will accept no alibis."
The managers contacted,
each commented that they are
wstchlng out for gambling vi
olations, but have found no
evil on their clubs.
A typical comment was that
of Manager Al Lopez of the
Cleveland Indians, who said,
"I received Frick's notice a
couple of days ago and posted
It on the bulletin board. We
have had no trouble on our
ball club regarding gambling,
inside or outside."
By contrast, however, there
were reports from other
sources that stakes in card
games in the spring training
camp of one American league
team had been quite high, and

New York Yankees Off
Fastest Start Since 1949
New York (U.R The World!
Champion Yankees, facing
their first big "test in the
West," are oft to their best
start since Casey Stengel's first
year as manager in 1949, a
check revealed today. '
But that fast getaway means
nothing, the records also re
vealed. Since 1949 the teams which
were in the lead in both major
leagues at the end of the first
two weeks, generally did not
go on to win the pennants.
There were only two excep
tions, last year's Dodgers and
Stengel's 1949 Yanks.
Hence, any suggestion that
the ' Phillies in the National
league, or the Yankees or In
dians in the American are set
to make a runaway is decided
ly premature.
Ninth Inning Stuff
Yet the brilliant showing of
all three clubs can't be shrug
ged off. The Yankees, who
won five in a row before drop
ping their stadium finale to
the Senators, 5 to 4 Sunday,
have been getting superlative
pitching plus that late inning
clutch touch. In that winning
streak, three of the games
were decided on rallies that
netted three or more runs late
in the game, two on ninth in
ning homers by Mickey Mantle
and Gene Woodling.
Cleveland, which leads the
league in percentage with a
that one National league
"bonus player" bad lost his
entire bonus money in card
games. -
The commissioner made it
clear that players or club em
ployes "found to be gambling
or who are engaged in carry-
ins bets for others" will be
"declared ineligible Immedl-ately."
