Dodgers Slower Under New Boss By GAVLE TALBOT . NEW YORK 11 Specialists who have examined the Brooklyn Dodg ers minutely in an effort to dis cover what happened to their in ternal machinery this season are able now to report that the defend ing league champions simply came down with the slows under the di rection - of their new manager, Walt Alston. If the Brooks continue for the remainder of the week at their piesent mad pace, they will finish the season with approximately half as many stolen bases as they racked up lor aggressive Chuck Dressen last year 45 as against 90. They will , have grounded Into about 25 more double plays than the 115 that were chalked up against them when Dressen was Dressen Back To Majors LOS ANGELES Wl It appears that Charlie . Dressen. who has been in baseball 35 of his 55 years, is on his way back to the majors for a manager's job. i Dressen. whose Oakland team finished third in the Pacific Coast League pennant race this year, told reporters Monday during a meeting of league directors that h. had had feelers from major league clubs for 1955. The Los Angeles Examiner re ported that Dressen has agreed to terms but said its sources were not at liberty to name the club. The paper said plans are to make the announcement after the World Series. Dresseii managed Brooklyn In 1951-62-53, winning the pennant the last two years. This year he took over the managerial reins of Oak land. The Examiner said he will leave for New York by plane Wednesday to confer with "his new bosses." Cleveland Tries For 110th CLEVELAND M The Cleve land Indians try Tuesday night to win victory 110 and tie the 1927 New York Yankees as the biggest winners in the American League's 54-;easnn history. In the afternoon, some 250,000 persons are expected to line the route of an hour and a half long parade from east side to west side. The Tribe will ride in decor ated convertibles, accompanied by three bands to whoop it up. Three and a half hours after the scheduled end of the parade to celebrate Saturday's pennant clinching, the Tribe takes to the field at Municipal Stadium against tlie Chicago White Sox whom they beat 7-4 Monday night and play again Wednesday. The Indians are riding an 11 game winning string equal to their longest previous one this year and two behind this season's league mark held by the YRnks. The White Sox were the villains who ehded the tribe's 11 - game run in Chicago May 25 when Al Rosen Incurred his famous finger fracture. Even if they lose Tuesday night the Indians will have four more enmes In which to get the two victories they need to better the winning record of the 1927 Ruth Gehrie Yankees. The Yanks of that year did not win their 110th until Oct. 1. Art Houtteman was manager Al Lopez's choice to hurl against Chicago's go-go boys who have held the league leaders even so far . in their lnter-club aerles-10 games to 10, signaling for the bit and run. Their opponents over the season will commit some 35 fewer errors than they did last year, when they were Jittery under the pressures of the Dodgers' running game. ' There is no disposition to blame Alston. He Inherited a club which had aged one year, and he proba bly was told that he could sit back and let his veterans drive the runs across. If so, he was a victim of poor advice. They'll have to peddle the Phila. delphia Athletics to some section of the country other than Texas. A recent week spent in that state disclosed that the desire to pos sess a big league team of any de scription has abated to the vanish ing point. It was silly in the first place." asserted a leading citizen of Dal las, which only a few months back was yelling its civic head off. "If this town couldn't support a pro fessional football club, how could it expect to support big league baseball?" Another discouraging item is the heat. The record spell of 100-de- gree weather they've lived through around Dallas and Fort Worth this summer would have made an awful ordeal of daytime ball. Ran Into the master, Frank Leahy, at San Antonio, and can report that the man who gave up coaching Notre Dame to give his nervous insides a fighting chance already looks about a dozen years younger. A citizens Olympic committee. numbering 180 of Melbourne's ci vic leaders, has been organized to arrange for the beddlnz down of the thousands of visitors expected for the 1956 Olympics in that Aus tralian city. As Melbourne boasts only about 4' j hotels of any size. It is planned to stake out sufficient private homes far in advance to take care of the great overflow.

The Pacific Coast League own ers, meeting here, made that de cision Monday. The 1955 season will start on April 5 and end Sept. 11. with each team playing about 166 games. It was learned during the direc tors' meeting that Tommy Heath has been signed to a new two year contract as manager of the San Francisco Seals, the fourth place club in this year's pennant race. 1 By BEN FHLEGAR Associated Preaa Sporti Writer The Cleveland Indians and New York Giants open the World Series in the Polo Grounds a week from tomorrow and the flags in Florida probably are flying at half mast.

Robert Anton Grim has been mostly good, not grim, news to the Yankees this season. The' 34-ycar old pitcher is a leading candidate for the Amer ican League's "Rookie of the Year" award. The big righthander wasn't even on the Yankee roster when spring training started in St. Petersburg. But Manager Casey Stengel and coach Jim Turner noticed the youngster had the stuff. Now, as the season draws to a close, he is the top pitcher on the New York squad and stands a good chance to win 20 games. A native ot Brooklyn. Grim was sought by several teams when he was in school. He chose the Yank ees instead of the Dodgers because the Yanks promised they would start him playing as soon as he finished .high school In mid-season of 1948. "When I was a kid I went up to the Polo Grounds to get a try out with the Giants." Grim said. "When they saw me in unifrom they told me to take it off. They never did explain why. And they never gave me the tryout. "The Yankees took me and 1 got good training with those farm teams where they sent me. I did okay at Butler, Pa., where I won 8 and lost 4. "The next year at Amsterdata, N.Y., I had really a tough time, but I learned a lot. I walked 106 batters in a single season and it was a h e a d a c h e all the way through. But, what I learned about onlv the Chicago Cubs and Balti more Orioles around for major league companions, the two clubs played each other often enough to know the players by heart. On their barnstorming tour back to the majors the Oiants whlpr-ed the Indians 13 times in 21 games, often by such scores as 20-14 or 13-9. ALL-TIME HIGH Al Lopez flatly predicted a pen nant for his Indians and made good as of last Saturday. Now he's alter a new all-time high in victories. Leo Durocher said he never made predictions, then quickly added his Giants, with the return of Willie Mays, "will be a lot stronger." "Brooklyn is the team to beat, Leo said in April He followed his own advice. He beat them opening day with Willie Mays hitting a 425 foot home run and last night in Ebbeus Field. home of the Dodgers, Durocher's men clinched the pennant with a 7-1 victory.

BETTER OUTFIT Durocher called his team a bet ter outfit than the 1951 pennant winners who caught Brooklyn and won In a playoff after being far behind In mid-August. Walt Alston, freshman manager of the losing Dodgers, congratulated Leo and said: "There is a lot of difference between those two teams, mine and his. I only hope he can go out now and beat Cleveland While the Giants were clinching their flag, the Indians won their 11th straight and ran their victory total to 109, only one short of the American League record set by the 1927 Yankees. Bobby Feller pitched the Indians to a 7-4 triumph over the Chicago White Sox with the help of home runs by Larry Doby and Vic Wertz. Cleveland has five more games to play. . TIGHTENED The battles for fourth place, and lt.share of the rich World Series loot, tightened in both Leagues. Cincinnati split with Milwaukee. winning 3-1 after losing 6-2, and holds a two game lead over St. Louis. The Cardinals defeated Chi cago 7-2 with five runs in the 10th inning.

"I still have dreams about those 106 batters I walked, just like you count sheep when you are finding it hard to go to sleep." Grim learned the hard way this year. Once he had a 11-0 lead over the Red Sox. With the big bulge he decided to take it easy. Then the Sox started getting runs and climaxed their assault wilh a bases loaded homer by first base man Harry Agganis. He bore down the rest of the way and won 14-9. But he realized what a narrow miss he had after he had eased up. The youngster knew he had made a mistake. He explained la ter: "I tried to put on the pres sure when I got Into trouble and started rushing rhy deliveries. Then I got tired in a hurry. I won't make that mistake again."
