Stengel Says He's Proud Of Yankees, Win or Lose By MILTON RICHMAN Pittsburgh - (UPD - Behind closed doors, Casey Stengel told his New York Yankees he is "mighty proud" of them -regardless of whether they win or lose the World Series The speech, made in the privacy of the Yankees' club house Tuesday, might have been Casey's farewell to his players. "Many of the fellows on the club felt it was the best speech they aver heard Casey make," said one Yankee vet eran. "He talked straight and didn't beat around the bush He said that every single one of us had contributed toward winning the pennant and making this a good year. He said a lot of us probably would be in line for raises next year. "Most of all. though," the Vankee nlaver added, "he made it plain to us how much nride he had in the entire ball club." Stengel stood In the center of the room as he spOKe ana the silent Yankee players hune on each word Mavbe Casey sensed that his players were a little down, trailing the nusDurgn ri rates, three games to two and having to play the last two games on an alien Item, He Can Count Like Stengel says, he can count, and he can understand human nature, too.

The two Pirate players plan to do a Western song act, which Is In the process of be ing booked into various cities now by Frank Scott, the ball players' representative. "Roy does the lead and I do the harmony," Smith ex plained. "Both of us play the guitar." , . Face and Smith have sung songs to the accompaninment of a guitar in the Pittsburgh clubhouse at various times this year and their teammates believe they could bt a com mercial success.

Terry Dowries Beats Giardello Wembley, England - (UPD -Terry Downes of England has established himself as a def inite threat for the world mid dleweight boxing title follow ing his upset victory over Joey Giardello Tuesday night. Downcs scored a decisive 10 -round verdict over the Philadelphia slugger, who is ranked second among the world's middleweight s. Downes currently holds the British middleweight championship. 'Do good the next day or two and we'll all feel better," he told his men. "Casey didn't have to tell us we're not beat yet," com mented another Yankee play er. "None of us feel we are and he has seen us come back a hundred times before." Dealing with the press was another matter, however. For the writers' benefit, Stengel later drew himself up and in perfect John Paul Jones' style, loudly proclaimed: "We ain't dead yet, my men MEDFORtviStTMIBUMf sipciDiHnrs ain't shakin' in their pants. And if you don t believe it, you can go in and examine them." There were no outsiders in the room when Casey talked with his players. Never once did he say to them whether he would or would not be back next year. . But he did tell them-and later the press-that he might not get a chance to say good bye personally to each of his players in the bedlam of con fusion which invariably fol' lows the final game of each World Series. .

Official approval of two cities probably will be an nounced in Chicago at a Na tional league meeting next Monday. The action will complete a long-discussed plan for ex pansion and enable the Na tional league to beat the American league to the punch again. New York's application for a NL franchise was made by Donald Grant, a Wall Street broker, in behalf of Mrs. Joan Whitney Fayson, who headed a group which held a New York franchise in the now defunct Continental league. Warren Giles, president of the National league, was ad vised of Houston's application here Tuesday night by Craig F. Cullinan, Jr., and George Kirksey, representing the Houston Sports Association. "Their application will re. quire action by our league," Giles said, "and 1 am sure forward steps on the whole matter of expansion will be made at the meeting next Monday." Baseball Commissioner Ford Frick called the two ap plications the first concrete step in the right direction," and added that he has "always favored expansion."

Strangely, the moderator sounded his opinion in a frac tion of the given time. He said it in one sentence: "The Pittsburgh Pirates will win because Friend, Face and Law can beat anybody." The pithy statement is sur prising because it came from Branch Rickey, who has been known to expound frequently at oratorical length. There was a division of opinions, naturally, about the Series winner," Rickey said, "Some thought a psychology cal barrier was raised against Pittsburgh because of the Yankees' tremendous w 1 n nlng streak (15 games) when they ended the season. The Pirates at that relative stage had not done as well as they naci all season, "Another person ventured the opinion that there was some inexperience in the Pi rate lineup that not too many had been regulars long enough and had never been in a World Series before "But the preponderance of opinion favored the Pirates it was natural." KicKey said he was sur prised when Harvey Haddix won the fifth game of the Series. "I didn't think anyone but Friend, Face or Law could win," he said. "But then Face finished up for Haddix. "Law is highly intelligent, he a a control pitcher. Friend has a world of stuff. As for Face well, he's Just unbeat able." i anunning the role of an "I-told-you-so," t h e retired general manager of the Pitts- Webfoots, Beavers Hal Wood Choices By HAL WOOD Reno, Nev. - IUPD - This week's pigskin picks -made with the aid of the guys who make the odds in a gambling town: COLLEGES UCLA over Washlnelon The upset special of the week.

Hayes Chosen Coach of Week Columbus -fUPD He has a reputation for winning the big ones, and his teams are most dangerous when the blue chips are down.
