Alvin Dark Named Manager of SF Plans To Talk With Old Bosses San Franclsco-UIPD - Alvin Dark, a veteran ballplayer who all of a sudden found himself rookie manager of the San Francisco Giants, planned a "summit conference" today with two of his old bosses. "I'm 'going to talk to Leo Durocher and Bill Rlgney about running this club," Dark said Monday shortly aft er tho Giants had tendered their former shortstop a two year contract at an estimated $30,000 per season. "But I'll be talking to them as manager to manager, not as a ballplay er to a manager." Durocher managed the Gi ants to two National League pennants and one World Se ries victory when Dark was his shortstop, Alvin also play ed for about two months un der Rigncy in 1956 before the Giants traded him to St. Louis. Durocher had been men tioned prominently as a suc cessor to Rlgney, whom the fifth-place Giants dropped last June 18 when the club was second In the standings. Chief scout Tom Sheehan, who is getting his old job back, man aged them during the interim. Good Friends "Rig is a good friend of mine and I respect his judg ment," Dark said, after get ting the former Giant skip per's phone number from a re porter. "I sure hope he lands that job managing Detroit." Dark, 38, a devout Baptist, returned to the Giant organ ization from the Milwaukee Braves after considering the offer for a week. He said he did not know if he would keep on playing. "I talked things over with my wife Adrienne, Dark said. "We make all our de cisions together and we con sidered this religiously. Then we prayed that it would be a good move." It marks his first time out as a manager. The deal was consummated Monday when the Braves, the fifth National League club he had played with since break ing into the majors 14 years ago, traded htm to the Giants in exchange for utility player Andre Rodgers. No Free Hand Dark said that he always wanted to be a manager and had picked up as much Infor mation as he could listening to Ed Stanky, his roommate for four years, Durocher and Charlie Dressen. But he did not affect the role of a strong man who had arrived to straighten out a team often riddled with factionalism. "In the first piace, I don't want a free hnd in running the ball club," he said. "I don't think any first year man ager should have a free hand. As a matter of fact, no man ager should have a free hand. After all, I've known the men in the Giants organization for a long time. Bragan Takes Houston Post Houston. Tex. - (UPD - Fiery Bobby Bragan swapped h i s playing flannels for a business suit today and vowed to give the new Houston baseball franchise In the National league "a strong team In the nation's strongest league."

"Whether to take this job was a hard decision for me," the colorful, energetic Bragan said. "I have always played the game of baseball on the field. "But there is such a bright opportunity in Houston, I could not afford to turn down Ihc offer." No salary terms were an nounced for the former Pitts burgh and Cleveland manager and Los Angeles Dodgers coach. Paul was elated to have Bragan In the Houston camp. "Bragan wis our No. 1 choioc from a list of several other top men," Paul said. "We feel he is one of the best Judges of baseball talent In the country and he will have an important part in building the Houston club for the start of play in 1962."
