Casey Stengel—
Man Of Many Faces
If Wall Street ever wants to
hire a spokesman -at -large, the
ideal man for the job is Casey
Stengel,
Of course, the amazing Mr.
Stengel is perfectly happy at his
present post — guiding the New
York Yankees to their ninth
.A.merican League pennant in the
10 years he has served as man-
ager.
But if he ever decides to re-
tire from baseball, he would
make a splendid spokesman for
Wall Street.
Consider some of his qualifi-
cations:
1. A knack for success; he is
the only manager in history to
win five straight World Series,
2, A rich man with the homey
touch. Mr. Stengel is reputedly
a millionaire, thanks in part to
shrewd oil investments. Yet he
stops to chat with the fans, pose
for photographs, and sign his
autograph for adoring young -
stem
3. He is a bank director. The
Glendale National Bank in
Glendale, Calif. (the home of the
Stengels) elected him to the
board earlier this year.
Casey's testimony left the
senators baffled. It also left them
in stitches. (even Senator Estes
Kefauver laughed, something he
rarely does when quizzing busi-
ness tycoons). Congressmen are
like ordinary folks in that they
cannot dislike that which moves
them to laughter.
'Stengelese' Prose
Baseball reporters have as-
signed a name - 'Stengelese —
to the meandering prose of the
Yankee manager who, incident-
ally, can speak with the fluency
of a college teacher when he
so chooses. However, he is called
the 01' Professor because he is
so adept at fashioning baseball
strategy and handling tempera-
mental athletes.
Connie Mack once said admir-
ingly of Casey: "I never saw a
man who juggled his lineup so
much and played so many
hunches so successfully."
Here is an example of Stenge-
lese when Case.'. 1.,11.1',., - ^*
four different players, explained
e Yankee victory in the 9152
World Series:
"That young feller Tom Gor-
man) is fast and he has low -
breaking stuff. Maybe he crossed
up my catcher and maybe he
didn't. :But he's tough to handle
and he's inexperienced. Then I
think about my other young fel-
ler (Eddie Lopat) who's been
through the mill and won't rat-
tle easy. Besides I got my tough
feller (Allie Reynolds) up my
sleeve and the key play of the
World Series wuz made by that
fresh kid (Billy Martin) I got at
second."
There is even Stengelese in-
herent in Casey's own name. His
1+'"° " real name is Charles Dillon
Stengel. "Casey" is a nickname
derived from K. C., the initials
of his native town, Kansas City.
Showman Stengel has always
delighted the fans. In his play-
ing days at Brooklyn he once
marched majestically to the
plate, doffed his cap to the crowd
and stood straight-faced ae a
Sparrow took wing from his
head. The stands roared.
The Casey legend glowed, too,
that day he marched to the top

the ground expecting a base-

SUPREME EFFORT - Giving his all, Balker Singh of India com-
petes in the men's discus event' at the British Empire Games in
Cardiff, Wales. His long hair is kept in place by.a knot of cloth.
SETS RECORD — Herb Elliott of
Australia, shown running earli-
er this year in the Empire
Games in Wales, set a new
world record for the mile run
with a time of three minutes,
54 and five -tenths seconds at
Dublin, Ireland, to better the
recognized mark of three min-
utes, 58 seconds set by another
Australian, John Landry, in
1954.
hurrying figures as brokers ex-
ecute their buy -and -sell orders.
But the acrobat habits of Casey
puts this hustle to shame, He
waves his arms to illustrate a
point and will not hesitate to
demonstrate a hook slide in a
hotel lobby. He grabs imaginary
bats and swings mightily at
imaginary baseballs. "Always
watch the pitcher's feet," he
tells young Yankee hopefuls.
"They'll tell you when he's
gonna pitch."
Casey rounded 67 on July -30,
still running strong. If' he ever
leaves the base paths for quieter
working fields, Wall Street had
better hustle and nab its spokes-
man.
YOU AUTO BUILD NOW — For the do-it-yourselfer who wants
a car that won't be like all the other cars on the road, a British
firm has the answer. The Nobel 200 is a kit -car which comes
in two versions. One is the truck -convertible (top) and the
0,1,1 -ter is a sedan .(bottom). It will have either three or four
jse'Whsels, depending on builder's preference, fhe sedan is said
to have a tcp speed of about 50 m.p.h., and gets 80 miles to
the gallon:
Sporting Lie
"Up and down, up and clown,"
chanted Puck in "A Midsummer
Night's Dream," "I will' cad.
them up and down." One recent
week, as the country sweltered
through midsummer nights,
Puck, invisible and unpredict-
able, appeared to be hard at
work among those mortals occu-
pied in the serious pursuit of
sport.
The sound of unearthly laugh-
ter echoed through a State Sup-
reme Court's chambers in Ossin-
ing, N.Y., where a 61 -year-old
amateur golfer was suing his
club. "My handicap (29) is too
low," charged William Wacht.
He petitioned the court to have
it raised to 34,
Attorneys for the Pines Ridge
Golf Club countered that Wacht
played poorly during the 25
rounds used to calculate handi-
caps, then went all out in tour-
naments. "Ile won two expen-
sive trophies last year," one
complained. "I just happen to be
a good tournament player,"
Wacht answered. Judge Samuel
W. Eager, a duffer, reserved de-
cision.
In Frankfort, Ky., Puck touch-
ed a deck of cards. Then Mrs.
Ernest Wainscot innocently dealt
a hand of bridge to Mrs. John
Darnell, Mrs. Earl Senff, and
Mrs. E, L. Scott The ladies look-
ed at their hands and shrieked.
Each. held all thirteen cards of
one suit. The odds against such a
deal came mathematicians en-
nounced gravely, to 2 octillion,
200 septillion to 1.
Puck even entered the somber
business of boxing. New York
District Attorney Frank Hogan
brought in a ten -count indict-
ment against Paul John
(Frankie) Carbo, "Mr. Gray," an
ex -convict who supposedly had
been the strongest force in U.S.
prizefighting for a d e e a d e.
Hogan's move looked like an
effective step to clean up box-
ing, except that the next hot
summer day Frankie Carbo up
and disappeared.
In Detroit Ryne Duren of the
Yankees, often accused of
throwing beanballs, was him-
self beaned; in Moscow an Ame-
rican track team took a sur-
prising lead in a dual meet with
Russia, finally lost by only two
points, and in Philadelphia Mayo
Smith, the Phils' manager, was
replaced by Ed Sawyer, who had
been fired as PhDs' manages in
1952,
Finally Puck flashed over
Utah where a race was staged
among three men and three
horses over 157 miles Dodger, a
cow pony, won by covering the
distance in 29 hours. The best of
the men was a New York City
policeman named Edo Romag-
noli, who covers his beat in a
squad car. Romagnoli ran 102
miles in twelve and a half hours
and actually led the horses for
65 miles. Afterward, he•toid re-
porters: " I have six bleeding
toe -nails. I won't enter this thing
next year,"

SURPRISE!
According to Louis Sobel,
George Jesse:, who will speak on
any subject, anywhere, any time,
had just been hurriedly engaged.
to deliver the eulogy at a recent
funeral service.
After bringing tears to his own
and everyone else's eyes, Jsssel
suddenly glanced dOwn into the
C01iiin,
"Holy smoke," he cried. "I
knew this man!"
"A man from our town was
troubled by a noise on the right
side of his ear."
"How did he get rid of it?"
"He let her drive."
Tales Of The
Baseball Diamond
KID STUFF
Mell Ott came up to the Giants
at the tender age of sixteen. He
was a catcher. But the club was
loaded with backstops, What
manager John McGraw needed
was' an outfielder.
He asked the sixteen -year-
old Ott, "Ever play the out-
field?"
Ott seriously replied, "Yes,
sir, when I was a kid,"
* * *
WHERE WAS MOSES
Some seasons back, umpire
Red Jones, irritated by some of
the barbers on the White Sox
bench, strode over to the Chi-
cago dugout and ordered the
entire bench cleared,
Whereupon Wally Moses, the
gentlemanly outfielder, asked,
"Why throw me out? I didn't
say a thing."
Jones remained adamant. He
shook his head. "It's just like
a raid, Moses," he said. "The
good go along with the bad."
* * *
BARGAIN HUNTER
Because he believes that a
ball player can't concentrate on
the game without a contented
home life, Branch Rickey en-
courages all his young bachel-
ors to get married. He once
offered his shortstop; Stan Ro-
jek, a thousand -dollar bonus if
he would take himself a wife:
Stan said he would consider it.
The next day he approached
Rickey. "Well," said the Branch,
"did you pop the question?"
Rojek grinned. "Sure," he
said, "I relayed your proposi-
tion to the one and only, and
she told me to hold out for two
thousand dollars!"

KIDNEY-ING AROUND
When Dr. Bobby Brown re-
ported to Yankee Stadium fresh
from his intership, he was lav-
ishly greeted by manager Sten-
gel.
"Am I glad to see you!"
shouted Casey. "You're just the
fellow I've been icloking for!"
Brown was dumbfounded. He
knew that B illy Johnson was
hitting over .3.00 and that a
rookie named Gil McDougald
was scooping up everything hit
within a mile of the bag.
"Yep," continued Stengel, "I
couldn't wait till you got here.
Tell me, do you know any
quick way to get rid of a kid-
ney stone?"
* * w
'FTE "5" HAS IT
Same years ago George Mori-
arty was umpiring a Cleveland -
Detroit game. An Indian rookie
was up at the plate. The rookie
took one strike without protest.
Then he took another. And then
a third. Before returning to the
dugout, he turned to the um-
pire.
I beg your pardon," he po-
litely asked, "but how do you
spell your name?" •
Surprised, Moriarty obliged,
spelling his name.
The rookie sighed. "Just as I
thought, sir, only one 'i.' "
