"I was told that my services will not be desired any long er," Stengel told a press con ference in a New York hotel. T h e Yankees announced thev will hold another press conference Thursday at which time it is expected that Sten gel s successor would be named. It was believed that Loacn Ralph Houk was in line to succeed Stengel. "Del Webb and Dan Top ping are in agreement that there should be an age limit," Casey said in announcing that he said: , Ij ' "They're not kiddinf ' me about this job. AH you gotta do is lose once and you're out. But as long as you win, you're okay." Pressed, as to whether he was leaving "under a cloud," Stengel said, "definitely not." I he had in effect been fired at ! the age of 70. Topping, president of the j Yankees, said that Casey "re Yankees Made Plans "Keeping his possible re tirement in mind, the Yankees set out to develop a program for his replacement" Topping I waived so that Stengel could j be elected to baseball's Hall ! of Fame ''as quickly as pos isible." ' He also said that through i the Yankee profit-sharing plan j Casey on Oct. 31 would "have j an amount exceeding $160,000 to his credit as a so-called bonus." Stengel Appears Nervous Stengel spoke rapidly and appeared a bit more nervous than usual. ' "I ran the ball club," he in sisted. "I wanta thank all the players on the team. I also wanta thank the press." Casey said, "I am thinking about taking a job inside or outside of baseball at the present time," but said he would have to think over his future plans.- W h e n Stengel succeeded Bucky Harris as manager of the Yankees in October, 1948, luctantly signed a two-game contract two years ago with the understanding that he could retire after the first year if he so desired. ; added.

I Houston ail leu lilt let Oil for Francises By ED SAINSBURY Chicago - (UPll - Expansion of major league baseball was SO per cent completed today with addition of Houston and New York to the National league and a meeting sched uled for similar action by the American league The Houston and New York groups, who earlier sought en try Into the now defunct Con tinental league, were award ed National league franchises, to start in 1962, by unanimous vote of the league Monday. Their memberships were "conditional," but only de tails remained to be settled. President Warren Giles said it was unlikely the conditions "ever will be announced," but added they would not be "obstacles" to the new teams. Meets This Month The American league will meet in Now York Oct. 26 to discuss possible expansion and the group already is on record In favor of adding two new teams no later than Dec. 1, 1061. Should It follow through on . this plan; then both leagues would expand to 10 teams for the 1062 season. Already there have been In dications that Minncapolis-St. Paul and Dallas-Fort Worth probably would be accepted into the American league Both could get approval at the meeting next week. Details which the National league still has to settle in clude the problems of stock ing the new clubs with play ers. The playing schedule, fi nances and others. "Other problems have to be worked out," Giles said. Likewise he could not specify how much money each group would have to have, although he guessed at "five million dollars.'' Franchise May Cost Whether . the new groups would have to pay for a fran chise from the league, or how much such a payment would be, also must be decided, he said Principal stockholders of the successful Houston group were Craig Cullinan Jr, Roy Hofheinz, R. E. Smith, George Kirksey and K. S. Adams, while the principal stockhold ers of the New York entry were M. Donald Grant, Dwlght Davis Jr., G. II . Walk er Jr., William Simpson and Mrs. Charles Slilpitum Pay son . The Houston group exhib ited to the owners of a model of their new domed stadium, Baugh issues New Y o r k tllPl) Slingin' Sammy Baugh, one of the im mortals of the professional National Football League, warned his former playmates today not to be too prosaic about the new American Football League. "We are two years ahead of schedule," said the slender, hawk-faced coagh of the New York Titans, "and two years from now we'll be In a class with anybody." Baugh, a long-lasting ra plor.in a game meant fur ma chetes, has what sound to be valid reasons. "I thought it would lake us two more years to get as good as we are right now," he said bluntly. "No, we're not ns good as the best three or four teams in the National League, but you'd bo stir prised al how good a game we'd give the lower clubs." Better Attraction As for the future, the 16 year passing star of the Wash ington Redskin feels that the new league Is in a more solid position to attract graduating college stars. ; It's simply that they'll have a better chance to make it in our league than they will in the National League," he ex plained. "It's the same as in baseball. A rookie has a tough time. pushing nut those! four or five-year men. "The National League hates to cut the new men because it feels it's making a mistake," he added. "Yet, -It has to go with the veterans who may have two or three years left. We'll get those kind of kids and in two or t n ee years they'll be better players than the National League veter ans. That's why we'll catch' up so fast. Next year, asserted the kcen-eycd Baugh, the Ameri 111 Hi to scut 41), 000, which would be air conditioned and suit able for play day or night and regardless of weather. "Naturally we're overjoy ed," Cullinan said after their bid was accepted. Not at Mcoiing The New York group, while .tffe W New York -ItlPH- The Amer ican Football Coaches nssoci ation today cited five Univer sity of Washington players and three each from Missis- slppl and Syracuse in an early- season slzeup of All-America prospects, A total of 58 players were mentioned in the "honor roll based on a poll of the mem bers of the coaches associ ation, The coaches will be can vassed twice more during the season.. Their recommenda tions will bo considered by a 24-man board which will select the coaches' All-America team. T h o coaches association's 1960 All-America team will be sponsored by the Eastman Kodak company and will be d I s t r I billed exclusively by Uniled Press International. Washington Huskie players mentioned in the coaches' first roundup wore: end Lee Fol kins, tackle Curt Gegner, guard Charles Allen, quarter back Bob Schloredt and cen ter Roy McKasson.

The Southeastern, the Big Ten and the Southwest con ferences each had eight play ers, the West Coast "Big Five" had seven, and the Big Eight conference six. The coaches again will be polled following the sixth week of the season and for the final time after games of Nov. 19. Coaches Dotermine More than 2,000 active coaches will determine the All-America team, which will be announced in the news papers of Nov. 24. Players will be evaluated on the basis of actual performances, plus their performances as seen by the coaches in viewing game Warning to can League will be better overall because each team will have a nucleus with which lo start. Meanwhile he is enjoying his job as the coach of a pro team after laboring in the collegiate vineyards as the touchdown tutor at Hardin Simmons. Small Schools Hurt : Thu outspoken Baugh looks hack on his tenure at the Texas college with a certain amount of repugnance. "We played a lot of teams that were out of our class," he grated. "If we finished within throe touchdowns oi them we did a great joo but It was an injustice to the boys. It wasn't good for them to have lo bat Iheir heads up against teams like Arkansas, Baylor. Mississippi, LSU, Georgia and Auburn." "But it's a dollar problem with the . small colleges." ci,r,,H il, f,-me TPITl sUir.
