It couldn't happen to a nicer guy as the saying goes. Probably no manager of a, fourth place club ever has been considered for any such recog nition before, but it has been a long time since the Browns have been in the first division at this extended stage of the American league pennant race. The fact that the Browns now not only are In fourth place, but have won 12 of their last 14 contests and are just four games back of the second place Boston Red Sox, is a glowing tribute to the leadership of the soft-spoken university of Ala bama alumnus.
