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.

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.

Cup Playoffs
LOS ANGELES UPi The Gov

cific Coast Baseball League were
a financial flop this year and as
a result there won't be any next
season.
The Pacific Coast League own

cision Monday. The 1955 season
will start on April 5 and end Sept.

Giants Didn't Want
Grim, But Yanks Did
NEW YORK ! 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

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

Leo Durocher said he never
made predictions, then quickly
added his Giants, with the return
of Willie Mays, "will be a lot
stronger."

He followed his own advice. He

said: "There is a lot of difference

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

"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."
