He had known since 1949, he admitted, that his days were number ed. More relaxed than anyone had ever seen him, the Yar*6e Clipper reveald that h had known sine then that he was “sliding.” The timing was going and the reflexes were fading "Thdft was always the physical pain,” baseball’s greatest drawing card explained as he disclosed the step-doWn secret he had been car rying since the World Series. ’ —“I took a Mg physical bating last year.

Stenfcy was signed yesterday ts a two-year term as Manager by Ci-.l owner Fred Saigh at an estimated $35,009 ams. al salary, and prompt ly promised he’d b« a playing man ager. “They’re all grown men and they should hustle," Stanky said of his new charges. “I’m sure most of them will but there might be a few who have to be reminded.” Baseball men agreed that Stanky. who learned many of his baseball tricks under “Lippy Leo” Durocher. is just the man to inject hustle into the aging Cardinal club. Color ful and swashbuckling, Stanky has t it was all over, “It wasn’t fun any longer," he said slowly “That’s why I’ve play ed my last game of ball." Then, without rgrets, he looked back down the years and spake proudly and without longing of his great moments. “My most memorable,” he recalled, '‘was that 56-game hiMfttg streak in 1941. But for one day—or let’s three dXJs— I’ll nebee forget coming up to Boston in 1949.” Nor should he. For Joe had been out of the lineup 65 days with a heel injury that season when he stepped back into uniform for a make-or-break series with the challenging Red Sox. All he did was win all thfee games, and kiH the Red Sox frith four home runs and a single, driving in nine runs. “I guess the beet catch I ever made Was against Hank Greeßberg in 1939,” he said. “There was one out and) a min on first and fHWta berg hit a ball just short- of the centertiekf flagpole, whert i» says 465 feet. I wanted to hold it to a triple but I Stuck up My MbM knd there was the ball for the out. “But I pulled a boner oi H," he grinned wryly. “I forgot there were only two out then, and the man got back all the why frCM turd.” Now, though, he was glad it was SB over.
