Leads sluggers DETROIT 1 First base coach Jack Tighe Wednesday signed a one-year contract to manage the Detroit Tigers baseball team, Terms were not announced. Tighe. who joined the Tieer fam ily in 1935 as a farm club catch er, was brought up to the parent club as a minor league scout two years ago after managing in the minors. Me Became lirst base coach when Bucky Harris suc ceeded Fred Hutchinson as man ager in 1955. Harris recently resigned when the new bosses demanded a more aggressive manager although Har ris nad brought the Tiger young- sters along for a fifth place fin ish. The Tigers won 79 games. their best since winning 95 under Red Rolfe as runnersup to the New York Yankees in the 1950 American League pennant race. in Ine only other managerial moves to date, the Chicago Cubs recently named Bob Scheffing to succeed Stan Hack; and the Balti more Orioles extended Paul Rich ards' contract through 1959. The world champion New lork Yan kees also signed Casey Stengel lor another two years. On the negative side, the New York Giants chilled reports that Eddie Stanky, whom they fired as manager of their Minneapolis farm club, was due for a spot on Manager Bill Rigney s coaching staff. Stanky, the fiery little guy who managed the St. Louis Cardinals from 1952 through part of 1955 after his playing career -came to an end with the Giants, took the ouster as a shock. He said thought I did a fairly good job with the material I had," in pilot ing the defending American Assn. champions to the playoff semifi nals. Stanky denied there was any trouble between himself and his players, a rumor that reportedly scratched him olf the list of pros pects for the Detroit job. Giants Vice President Charles (Chub Feeney said "I'd rather not go into that" when asked ibout the player trouble report 'Stanky said he was "given the impression" he would be called up to the Giants' coaching staff next season, but Club President Horace Stoneham said. no. "We talked about it with Rigney," Stoneham said, "discussing it dur ing the season and during the World Series. But at the last min ute, jligney. said no. It was.Rig ney's decision to make." r ., Feeney added that Sanky had been offered a job-as a scout, but nothing "with the big club."

The touring golf professionals says Jerry Barber, rate the West ern Open as the sixth most im portant golf tournament in the world. Ahead of it comes the National Open, PGA, Masters, world and British opens. r CLAYTON HANNON SPORTS EDITOR Sooners Lead In Offense, Scoring Bert Bell May Move Into Radio Wrangle PHILADELPHIA (UP) - The 'Roger" boys of the football field were warned today by National Football League Commissioner Bert, Bell that he might jam their wave lengths if their space cadet antics become objectionable. The report is out that Coach Lynn (Pappy) Waldorf will have to win at least two of the three games against Stanford, Southern California and UCLA to retain his job at California for another year. The Western Open Golf Tourna ment, recently held in San Fran Cisco was an artistic success, but a financial flop. Despite perfect weather, the sponsors are expected to drop around $15.000. . . lack of a magid name like Snead, Hogan or Nelson is blamed for lack of interest in the event. The Pro-Amateur Golf Tourna ment like the one now under way at the Apple Valley Country Club here, is becoming the most pop ular event on the golfing trail. The stars, wearied from the ten sion of competing for big pots of gold, relax when they get with the hackers. - Vic Kelly, UCLA publicist, says that all the talk about UCLA and USC withdrawing from the Pacif ic Coast Conference is ust idle conversation by outsiders who have nothing to say about such an action. Chukkar Partridge, the half pheasant, half quail, are as thick as fleas on a dog s back in this resort area. "We've had as many as 50 on our lawn at one time during the summer months, says Mrs. Lloyd Mangrum, wife of the golf professional. I'But the day the hunting season opens there isn't one to be found anywhere." Last year Jay Hebert, Hie like able golf professional from San ford, Fla.,- played in only six tournaments and was the nation's 22nd leading money winner. "This vear." . he savs. "I played in 39 tournaments and I'm the 24th leading money winner. ' . No explanation.. Rutgers Major's Grid Pick The titles were the second for both Mantle and Snider. Mantle, who also led the junior circuit in batting, runs batted in and home runs, numbered 79 extra-base hits among his 188 safe-1 tics last season. In addition to his 52 four-baggers, the 24-ycar-old switch-hitter had 22 doubles and 5 triples. Ted Williams of the Boston Red Sox, runner-up to Mantle with a .603 average, was the last player to have a better than .705 slugging mark. He finished with .735 in 1941. Yogi Berra of the Yankees and Charley Maxwell of Detroit wound up in a third-place deadlock the past season. Both showed .534 marks. Snider, the National League's leader in home runs with 43, also cracked 33 doubles and a pair of three-baggers among 158 hits for 324 total bases. Hank Aaron of the Braves, the Hickok Award Given To Maglie NEW YORK (UP)-Sal Maglie, no-hit hero of the closing weeks of the National League pennant race and the Brooklyn Dodgers opening game World Scries win ner, was rated the top athlete of September today in the voting for the $10,000 Hickok Belt. Maglie had 250 points to finish far ahead of boxer Carmen Basilio, who had 109. Blanda Gets Booting Fun CHICAGO (UP)-George Blanda, the Chicago Bears' veteran quar terback once called a "major league misfit," now kicks those words down opponents' throats. Blanda has kicked the Bears to 11 victories and one tie in the past seven seasons and currently sports an uninterrupted record string of 154 extra points in National root- ball League competition. They used to call me a stop gap quarterback , blanda re caled today. "I just wanted to make everybody, including the coaches, eat their words." Last year Blanda booted 11 field goals in 16 attempts, a better average than even that of Cleve land s Lou Groza, who made 11 in 22 tries. This year Blanda has made 4 of 8. By MAJOR AMOS B. HOOPLE Father of the Center Rush Hak-kaff! Dash it all! Football results have been so affected by the oratorical winds generated by the various candidates that your humble correspondent has been forced to adopt a new system. New systems are to be taken with a grain of salt, so I am mak ing a test run this week with only one game of the group. The game is Rutgers versus Boston louego. and according to the system Rut gers should win by a score of 20 to 13. Now I do not often reveal my mathematical formulas, but in this case, I'm giving my zillions of readers a treat and disclosing now I arrive at that score. Rutgers was founded in 1766 and Boston College in 1863. Rutgers has 14,857 students, Boston College 6,472. Rutgers has 850 teachers, Boston College 225. Subtract 1,766 from 1.863 and you get 97. Take the last digit, 7. which you add to the third and fourth digits in the number of Rutgers students 7 plus 8 plus 5 equals 20, ' ...... To eet Boston College's score you subtract the number of teachers there, 225, from those at Rutgers, 850. and the result is 625. Adding these three digits wo arrive at me figure 13. Thus the score will be 20 to 13. I didn't use this system in the rest .of the games because adding and subtracting always give me a headache. The forecast:1 J'. ' .

California 26, Washington 13 Bell left little doubt that wasn't pleased by the hassles cropping up already in the short season over the use of player helmets with built in short wave head seta for receiving instruc tions from coaches. The hassles included a New York Giants' claim they monitored the secret wave lengths of the Cleveland Browns, didn t even need a codebook to decipher the plays and upset the defending champions. Then, there were the! bleats of the Los Angeles Rams that they weren't given the equip ment to operate their broadcasts from bench to backueld. NO PLACE . "In my' opinion," Bell said, "those things don't belong in foot ball. Of course, the rules permit coaching from the sideline, and that s coaching. I repeat, that a my opinion. They don't belong. But if there's any change to be made in the rules, that's up to the owners at1 the next league meeting." : , But Bell left hanging his threat to pull the plug on the radio equipment if the public objects to the use of the air except for for ward passes in the stadiums of the league. - "If the practice brings discredit: to the game, if it develops into a fiasco, if it becomes objectionable and if the people who pay the freight object. I would say then that it is detrimental to football," Bell said. PROMISES ACTION "I'll take action," he warned. Bell admitted - squawks and howls reminiscent of the old crys tal sets were ringing in his ears over the newest controversy in the league.- I don t know all of the circum stances behind the complaints," he said. "The Rams said they were refused facilities at Detroit. They said they were told certain equipment' was denied them, that they weren t cut into the wire. If the Lions wire the field, I think everyone is entitled to the use of the wire." ' Bell doesn't think radio will rev olutionize football like it did en tertainment back in the Roaring Twenties. "Football is a game of players who play on incentive and desire, their reflexes doing the trick. All talking in their ears won't change it. A great ball player is a great ball player.
