Sports Parade
By JACK CUDDY
United Press Sports Writer
NEW YORK (IP The recent release of Vic Raschi
by the lowly Kansas City Athletics points up once agaiQ
today what a superb job Casey Stengel has done in lead
ing the New York Yankees to six pennants and five world
championships in seven years.
Just two years ago, Raschi, who three times was a 20-
game winner in that five - straight world championship
span, was let go by Stengel. Os the remainder of Sten
gel’s former big three, Allie Reynolds passed it up last sea
son and Ed Lopat was released in July.
Changeovers like that have become commonplace to
Old Case, however, because in his seven seasons at the
Yankee held he has used an amazing total of 105 differ
ent players.
Last season, as example, he dethroned the Cleveland
Indians with another mad bit of platooning 4O differ
ent men wearing the Yankee flannels at one time or an
other. Os the club he took over back in 1949, only four men
have been with the Yankees consecutively. These are Yogi
Berra, Phil Rizzuto, Hank Bauer and Charley Silvera.
Only Three Regulars
In other words, three regulars.
They called Old Case a clown when he sat down to
play but he has had the rest of the league crying ever
since. Credit it greatly to the farm system, if you will.
Yet you still have to win em on the field and who can
deny but what he has, since that first season, lost more
great players than they got back for him.
Look at the ones who have dropped by the wayside
since his first season.
Joe DiMaggio . . . Tommy Henrich . . Charlie Keller
. . . Joe Page . . Johnny Mize - - - Johnny Sain - - and
Bobby Brown.
Or has Stengel been reluctant to trade away some
highly-regarded talent. Enough, actually, to hold the
league together when you take into account just the
cream of the crop. Guys like Gene Woodling, Jackie Jen
sen, Bob Porterfield, Johnny Lindell, Billy Johnson, Spec
Shea, Vic Power, Sherman, Lollar and Willie Miranda.
Recognized Rehabilitation
The Brooklyn Dodgers hadn’t been beaten by a route
going lefthander this year until the second game of the
World Reties. The job was done by Tommy Byrne the
' sabre'Tommy Byrne who as a reaP-“wftdWn* Was traded
away by Stengel in 1951. It was Stengel who recognized
rfflfiabilftatioh'jan’d brought him back to the big time
from the minors late in the 1954 season.
Seldom, however, does a team lose in the span of two
i yeats three 'big pitchers like Reynolds, Raschi and Lopat
were for the Yankees and keep right on rolling along
The proof of Stengel’s mystifying ability to juggle
players is clearly evident in the Raschi and Lopat cases.
Possibly they might have had better records with the
Yankees yet the fact remains that Big Vic had a 4-6 mark
at Kansas City and Lopat was 7-12 on the year after going:
to Baltimore. ' 8 * 6

This week’s voting was so concen
trated that a total of only 18 teams
were mentioned in the coaches’
ballots.
Never before in the six-year his

were the top three teams so close

receive votes that there were not
even enough to comprise a “sec

Gained Considerable Ground
Maryland, which trounced Syra

the season, and Coach Bud Wilkin
son's Sooners, who crushed Col

bid to overtake Michigan. The
Wolverines’ first-place margin has
dwindled from a high of 66 points

week, and to its present six points
