“Seven skippers are still waiting for

tr acts, but only Cleveland’s Kerby Farrell appears to

be a doubtful repeater among baseball’s major league|-

‘managers, whose ranks haven’t remained intact from
the end of One season to the next since 1944-45.

‘The others who haven't signed

ers, Bill Rigney of New York-

Craft of Kansas City Athletics.

All but -Farrell have received
votes of confidence in one form
or another.

have signed.

FIRST SINCE 1950

Jack Tighe, who replaced
Bucky Harris as Detroit skipper
last October, also will be back
next year. Tigers are a far cry
from the hoped for pennant con-
tending team dreamed up last
winter, but with Thursday’s 3-2
victory at Chicago they are with-

 

berth in the AL for the first time
since 1950, ‘

The other managers will be
back under long-term agree-
ments. Casey Stengel, headed

Yankees, is half-way through a
two-year contract. Boston’s
Pinky Miggins signed a three-
year contract as-a reward for
1955’s manager gf the year

‘ards is signed through 1959, and
Birdie Tebbets has two to go in
a three-year pact with Cincin-
nati Redlegs. .

Braves Have Power, Yanks Speed, Defence

By BEN. OLAN

NEW YORK (4 — Milwaukee
Braves haye the. power. New
York Yankees have the speed
and a better defence.

That is a brief summation of
the relative outfield strength of
the 1957 world series partici-
pants.

Closer inspection of the situa-
tion, however, reveals that the
outcome of the champlonship
games may depend on the' per-
formances of three outfielders.

The tide will swing to Yanks
if Mickey Mantle can recover
sufficiently from his leg injuries
to handle the bulk of his team’s
long ball hitting and do a cap-
able job in centrefield,

IN BRAVES’ FAVOR

Or the pendulym coyld swing
to Braves if:.

Bob Hazle, a 408 batter jn’ 39
games, finds Yankee pitchers as
easy to hit as those in the Na-
tional League.

Hank Aaron, the major league
leader in home runs ‘and runs
batted in, delivers. the’ - ‘same
timely blows he did sé often dur-
Ing the regular season.

The outfielders are by no
means set for the first game
next Wednesday. With lefthand-
ers Warren Spahrf and Whitey.
Ford figured to pitch, Milwaukee
will go with Wes Covington in
left field, Aaron in centre and
Andy Pafko in right. Casey Sten-
gel’s nominees probably will be
Elston Howard in left, Mantle
In centre and Hank Bauer in
right.

Hazle will replace Pafko
against righthanders. And Tony
Kubek .or Enos Slaughter will
take over from Howard > when
Lew Burdette and Bob Buhl
pitch for Braves.

HAVE MOST HOMERS

Now for a brief look at the
statistics:
