It was SUnday, June 9, about 1213 p.m. when
• We walkeci briskly down what seemed to be endless
runways from the upper deck in BRIGGS STADIUM,
Detroit, to get to the ground. floor where people were
pouring past the turnstiles by the thousands to se;
the third game of the YANKEE -TIGER, series of which
the BENGALS had already salted away two games.
A morning telephone conversation with CHARLES
DILLON "Casey" STENGEL, better known as the
"Professor of Baseball' and manager of the World
Champion New York Yankees, was the cause of our
. hurried footsteps as an interview in the YANKEE
• dugout was the appointment that hacl been made.
• Through the comfortable -looking NEW YORK
glressing room that was bigger than the ground floor
of the house I'm living in. I strolled on into a tunnel
leading to the field and finally out onto the players'
bench.
Approaching a huddled group half -way down the
bench I found the admirable professor sounding off
• about his troubles to a pair of newsmen. (Must be
another paper besides ours!) I received a warm wel-
come from the 68 -year-old YANKEE manager as we
Immediately indulged in a four-way conversation.
There's no doubt about it—Casey knows his
players, the opposition and the game of baseball in-
side out. As his players went through their batting
practice, STENGEL pointed out their strong and weak
points. In fact he even got up and demonstrated the
different stances his players had and why, some bit
• for the circuit and others punched out singles and,
of course, why so many of the BRONX BOMBERS
struck out!
"The boys are stretching thar necks and look-
ing into the stands as they swing instead of keeping
them thar eyes on the ball. Look at McDougall!
Humph! Didn't do it that time," snarled STENGEL.
Casey is really high on BOBBY. SHANTZ as a
pitCher and fielder but the rest—wow!— their ears
must have been burning. "When LARSEN, TERRY
• and the rest of 'em learn to bend their backs and
field those TIGER hits going through the box, we'll
• win some ball games," bellered the professor,
"TERRY was feeding up his big slow curve ball
to DETROIT ' (Saturday game) and they were going
for base hits instead of him using his good fast ball.
CICOTTE (replaced Terry) did a fine relief chore but
has a poor throw to first for a pickoff."
When a conversation about "Moose" SIOWRON
developed, Stengel revealed that he could have sold
him so often that 11 wasn't even funny. The Bomber
nlanager flared up when he was told Skowron couldn't
help Detroit.
One can't help but take a fancy to the old boy
• because of his actions. He calls his grey haired boy,
• "Yogi" BERRA, "Mr, Berra" when he speaks about
him •and he has the name of "Buzz" BAUER for his
expert thrower, "Hank," in right field. ,
Last year's champs are not playing the heads -up
ball they're .capable of, he told us, and referred to
several instances in the two games that had been
dropped where sloppy plays meant the ball game.
• No sooner had Stengel pointed out to me that
a manager has worries all the time, than MANTLE
took a tipped foul on the foot and came hobbling
over to the bench. The grim look on Casey's face
showed every line but things brightened up when
the slugger said he would be all right Shortly after
MICKEY went into the dressing room, we followed
and •saw that he was taped around the ankle and
• knee and had ice packs on his foot to keep the swell-
ing down.
• What some players have to go through to play
• a sport is amazing. Froin the stands, the way the
Yankee wonder boy ran around in the centrefield
pasture and on the base paths, you'd think -that he
• didn't have a thing wrong with him.
I found out why the DETROIT TIGERS are win-
ning some ball games. Someone sent each player a
four leaf clover and to the manager went a five
leaf job. This must be it because the Tigers only
• have nine good men on the field at once! Right,
Harold?

Exeter dam Saturday night. The fish had a big three hook
in its side. —T -A Photo
Angler Gets Pike
-From Local Pond
An eight -pound pike was pulled
out of the pond below Exeter
dam Saturday night by Garnet
Shipman, Andrew street.
The fish, which measured 32
inches, had been "the objective
of several anglers who had
strikes earlier in the week. A
two -and -one -half-inch three -hook
was found buried in its side.
The pike hit a lure of Ship -
man's own concoction — a com-
bination of silver spoon with
three hooks and a cluster of
feathers. It -struck first at a
Williams Wobbler but 'wouldn't
go back.
The catch was made about 8.30
p.m, Shipman's sdn, Glenn, 10,
and Melvin Whiting; 10, were
fishing with him.
The big three -hook, to which
was attached leader and line,
appeared to have been left by
someone who was trying to hook
the pike illegally.,
Clinton came back in the top
of the eighth with one run when
Billy Craig led off with the only
Cott hit of the game and eventu-
ally came all the way around
the base paths to score.
Jim Melville replaced Steve
Mitro on the mound in the sixth
inning but went, back to third
in the seventh when Mitre came
back to pitch.
Bob Youngblut started on the
mound for the Colts bet had to
be relieved by centrefielder Bill
Craig when he split. his finger
in the third inning.
Between the two Dashwood
pitchers, they registered a total
of 10 strikeouts while the Clinton
moundsmen picked up six.
