Casey Stengel
Delays Answer
About Future
By ALEX KAHN
Glendale, Colif.-IUPD - What
does Casey Stengel have plan
ned for the future? The 70-year-old
ex-manager of the
New York Yankees wns back
in his home town today re
fusing to answer unit ques
tion at least for another
three weeks.
Stengel and his wife, Edna,
returned from the East Coast
Saturday to an enthusinstie
welcome from his home town,
but the man who set baseball
history by winning seven
world championships in a 12
year span as Yankee pilot
evaded any definite answer
as to what lies ahead.
: Ol' Case admitted in
straight - forward language,
and not his so-called Stengel
cse in which he twists words
about as a pretzel - maker
twists dough, that he did have
plenty of job offers.
Four Offers
But he added that he would
take a three-week vacation be
fore making any decision.
Casey said he had nl least
four offers to return to base
ball, but wouldn't give any
hint which of the baseball or
ganizations had approached
him.
"After three weeks I might
decide whether 1 11 retire, re
turn to baseball or go inlo
some other line of work." he
said. "I'm not hurting financi
ally so I can decide as I
want.
Casey did toss a hint that
led to speculation one offer
may have come from the new
American league franchise in
Los Angeles.
"I may have n team around
here in the near future, but
can't tell you much about it,"
lie told a crowd of 200 per
sons at City Hall ceremonies.
Ha refused to expand the remark.

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, 43, was named di
rector of player personnel and
manager of the farm system

eral manager, at a press con
ference Monday.
"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."

Already the buzzing Is go

handle the Spanish-speaking
members of the club? Can he
take care of the malcontents?
Dark would be the first to
admit' that he doesn't know.
Tve never heard of the
so-called 'factions' you talk
about on the club," he said
after his appointment was an
nounced. '
But for Willie Mays, Dark
has only unbounded admira
tion. No Weakness
"There's no one In baseball
who can do all things as well
as Mays can do them," says
Dark. "You might call him the
decathlon champion of base
ball.. Only, a decathlon man
usually Is weak In one or two
events. Willie Isn't weak In
anything."
