A seen In the New Casef Stengel Sheds Te'ars at Farewell Partv By NORMAN MILLER New York - IUPD - Casey Stengel said goodbye to the Yankees and "my baseball writers" Wednesday night with unashamed tears in his eyes and a catch in his voice. It was supposed to be a "private party" given by New York baseball writers at the Waldorf Astoria but the guest list read like a roll call of the game's greatest figures - and it seemed they all came to euologize the man who is "too old" to run the Yankees de spite the fact he led them to seven world championships and 10 American league pen nants in the last 12 years. Sad Decision "This was the saddest de cision the Yankees ever had to make," said Dan Topping, co-owner of the Yankees and the man most responsible for letting Stengel go. "It was a decision we had to make but we wisli there could have been another way." Stengel dabbed at his eyes with a handkerchief as one after another of the baseball greats and "just newspaper pals" eulogized him. And he temporarily lost control of his emotions when general manager George Weiss, who also is expected to feel the edge of Topping's axe in a general shakeup of Yankee officials, shook hands at the end of the party. "This is the first time I can ever remember cryin' since I was a kid," said Stengel when he clasped the visibly shaken Weiss, who also had tears welling in his eyes.
