Dark takes command ot the San! reciHen( 0f L?i-e O'e La Francisco Giants with an admoni- tion that the Candlestick Park winds should be forgotten, the quicker the better. I The take-charge guy of the Giants infield during their cham njonship years of 1951 and 1954 drew a lu-yum vumimt man age and instill hustle into theii field operation. Terms weren't Announced but are believed $25,000 annually. "Alvin was the man we wanted all along," said Giants Vice Pres ident Charles (Chub Fenney. To get the 14-year National League veteran player, the Giants traded utility shortstop Andre Rodgers to the Milwaukee Braves. Speaking softly, Dark, 38, gave a solid indication he would brook no excuses and wanted the riglu to full authority in operating the club on the field. Last year as the Giants were tabbed for the pennant in pre-, season forecasts and flopped, players complained about the tricky winds at the new Candle stick Park. "The climate here is wonder ful," commented Dark. "That wind is just like the Louisiana heat.

Dark said he had none in mind immediately and added, "I don't think a trade should be made just to get rid of a ball player." Asked where the team needed to be strengthened, he said he couldn't answer that until he sees the players in spring training. "There are many fine players on our roster," he added. Feeney announced S h e e h a n would resume his job as chief scout, with Dark to decide on coaching assignments later.

Arkansas. 13; Rookie San Francisco Boss To Hold 'Summit1 Conference RAN FRANCISCO (UPI) Al vin Dark, a veteran ballplayer who all of a sudden found him self 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 Duro cher and Bill Rigney about run ning this club," Dark said Mon day shortly after the 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 ballplayer to a manager." Durocher managed the Giants to two National League pennants and one World Series victory when Dark was his shortstop. Al vin also played for about two months under Rigney in 1956 be fore the Giants traded him to St. Louis. Durocher had been mentioned prominently as a successor to Rigney, whom the fifth - place Giants dropped last June 18 when ' the club was second in the stand ings. Chief scout Tom Sheehan, who is getting his old job back, managed them during the in lerim. Good Friends "Rig is a good friend of mine and I respect his judgment," Dark said, after getting the for mer Giant skipper's phone num ber from a reporter. "I sure hoe he lands that job managing Detroit." Dark, 38. a devout Baptist, re turned to the Giant organization from the Milwaukee Braves after considering the oiler 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 decisions together and we considered this religious ly. 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 breaking into the majors 14 years ago, traded I him to the Giants in exchange for utility player Andre Rod gers. No Free Hand Dark said that he always wanted to be a manager and had picked up as much iniormation as he could listening to Ed Stanky, i his roommate for four years, Du rocher and Charlie Dressen. But he did not affect the role of a strong man who had arrived to straighten out a team often pro nounced riduled with factionalism. "In the first place, I don't want a free hand in running the ball club," he said. "I don't think any first year manager should have a free hand. As a matter of fact, no manager should have a free hand. After all, I've known the men in the Giants organization for a long time. , "Horace Stonoham, Chub Fee ney and Tom Sheehan and the rest are all fine baseball men. I certainly expect to co-operate with them and use their advice." cav I'ljivria'n iadi w.u .' ' . r Vi mV u i franchise.

The Giants made history in Ja pan by losing their first two games. They made history again when the Japan All-Stars sent 11 batters to the plate in one inning, scoring eight runs, against Ihem tn Ihe sixth game. The Japanese won 10-7 for their win against the visitors. Saburo Suzuki, a former sports editor and now a baseball com mentator with the reputation of being an authority on Ihe U.S. major leagues, said in a column: "Some of you gentlemen of the Ran Francisco Giants have de scribed Japanese baseball as of double A caliber in the United States. I want to say that if Ihe Giants do not piay al least triple A baseball, they will not be able to beat the Japanese All-Stars." Some of the Japanese baseball experts have attributed the wins ol Ihe Japan All-Stars over the S F. Giants to an "improvement of Japanese ball players." I admit Japanese ball players have improved considerably and that the players are "much big per" on Ihe average than in the pie-war years. But I do not think this improvement is the major factor for the victories over Ihe Giants. The biggest factor is that the Ctianls, as now composed, are truly a weak second division ball tlub.

I Coach Marv Levy of California told Ihe Northern California Fool ball Writers' Association Monday that UCLA has "the fastest team in the country," according to Bear scouts. Levy was still naturally happy about the Bears' capturing their first win of the season against Oregon Slate. "I'm pleased we didn't sag in the second half, as we have been doing all season," he said. Vic Kelly, UCLA publicist, told Ihe association that the Brans' tailback, Bill Kilmer, is "every inch an All-American." He called him "the best tail back we've ever had at UCLA." Coach Jack Curtice of winless Stanford also said he feared the speed of the Cards' next foe. Oregon. Curtice revealed that Stanford lost all its left guards in the L'Scj game and that the three right guards alternated in the left side of Ihe line. Ron Fernandes, regu lar left guard, will be out of the Duck game because of a spur on his ankle.
