He said he accepted Durocher's resignation with "deep personal regret," but was glad to have had a suitable replacement in Rigney, currently piloting the Minneapolis Millers in the Ameri can Assn.

Sept. 24 (JP) The Cleveland Indians, who sat help les in the rain yesterday while the New York Yankees grabbed the American League pennant, took revenge on the Detriot Tigers to day with a pair of victories 8-2 and 7-0. The first triumph clinched second place for the Indians. Only a week ago the Tigers won three in a row from the Indians, knocking them from first place and setting the stage for the Yan kees' triumph. Herb Score raised his season's strikeout total to 244, an all-time rookie record, by fanning nine of the Tigers in the opener and Hank Aguirre, a raw newcomer who drew a starling chance after sec ond place was assured, set the Tigers down wun a mi--6 hits in the nightcap. Cleveland's hitters; woefully in ept during the Indians' slide from the top, came to life with the pressure off and pounded out 25 hits, 12 in the first game, 13 in the second. Al Smith, Bobby. Avila and rookie Bill Harrell had three The retirement of the explosive manager after 17 years as a major league pilot, the last seven and a half with the Giants, came as no surprise to followers of the Giants. As far back as last May, he con fided to several close friends he Last June 23, amidst rumors that Durocher was to be fired, the Associated Press, wrote that Leo was sure to finish the ' season but intimated he would nor be back in 195G. "My decision to retire is not a last minute one," Durocher ex plained to reporters summoned to the Polo Grounds for a press con ference, "I have been thinking about it for a long time, going back to last year. I might have quit last year but I already had given my word to Mr, Stoneham that I'd be back. "No, the performance of the team had nothing whatsoever to do with niy retirement," Leo said. "I would have left even if the Giants had won the pennant." The 49-year-old Durocher said he gave up his $50,000 a year job in baseball to accept an executive position in California "which would keep me at home most of the time with my family." He did not identify his new job but it was learned that Leo has been offered a distributorship by the Anheuser - Busch Brewery which supposedly will pay him as much as he earned as manager of the Giants. In addition, Leo has an offer to telecast the 1956 Hol lyood games in the Pacific Coast League for an additional $12,500 per year. Durocher s,aid he would finish out the season with the Giants and would be in uniform for.to doubleheader with the Philadel phia Phillies. Rigney, currently in volved in a battle for the Little World Series championship with Rochester, will not take over un til after the end of . the series. "It's great to be back in the big league," Rigney exclaimed, when reached in Rochester. "I'm thrilled to get this opportunity. I'll give it a good try. It's great." . The 37-year-old former infielder of the Gianth, who left the club to manage at Minneapolis last year, said he had heard rumors all sum mer but it was not until early this morning that he was first contact ed. , "Mr. Stoneham telephoned me at 10 o'clock this morning to sound me out," the lean, bespectactled Rigney said.

Halfback Ned Oldham's con j version was good. The Middies looked on that drive like the three-touchdown fav orites they had been before the game.

Halfback Paul Reynolds, a speedy veteran, raced onto the field to replace Sherril sipes, with fourth down in SMU's 14- ... Reynolds swept around SMU's right side in a delayed handoff from Hornung and raced unmolest ed to score. WEST POINT, N. Y., Sept 24 (JP) Army opened its 1955 football campaign by crushing Furman, 81-0, today in a game highlighted by the first appearance ; of Don Holleder at Quarterback for the Cadets. The star end of last year hand led the big Army team in smooth .style despite the drizzling rain, and in the second quarter, with Army on Furman's 39, faded back to his 50, and threw a perfect pass to Art Johnson over the goal line. The longest scoring play, how ever, was made by PeteiLash who ran 73 yards in the third period. Lash, Dick Murtland, and Bob Munger each made a pair of touchdowns in Army's scoring spree the biggest opening day score in the annals of West Point. thing I did was telephone my wife in California." Durocher's three coaches Her man Franks, Fred Fitzsimmons and Frank Shellenback resigned along with him. Shellenback, how ever, will return as a scout. One of the coaches, who will not be identified here, said he felt certain that Durocher would change his mind about retiring if he were offered a managing job by another club. - "It's got to come from a club that Leo feels has a chance to go all the wayf however," the ex coach said. "As for me, I go where Leo goes." plays. The game ended with the Sooners on the Carolina 46, third down and 12 to go. KOMAN LEADS DEFENSE For the Tar Heels it was an all out team effort. There were not: any outstanding offensive stars, and everyone certainly played a good game on defense. Big Bill Koman, senior guard from Penn sylvania, sJole the show on de fense. The 216-pounder was all ov er the field making tackles. He re covered one fumble in the Okla homa backfield and picked it up, racing the length tof the field. The only catch was that he was called back, since it is illegal to run with a fumble recovered in the offensive backfield. Ken Keller, Will Frye, Jack Maultsby, Roland Perdue, Hap Setzer, and John Bilich were some of the leaders, just to name a few. On offense Ken Keller and Ed Sut ton bore the brunt of the attack. Sutton picked up 33 yards in ten carries, while Keller gained 31 yards in nine tries. Sophomore quarterback Dave Reed ran the Sasser and Reed will be counted on to do plmost all of the quarter backing in the State game. If Sas ser is forced to miss the game, it could be a big blow. Both quarter backs looked alternately good and poor, but the Oklahoma lina was a tough one to crack. Although the Tar Heels could not quite put together an impress ive offense, they showed the best defensive play a Tar Heel team has made in the past several years. fvh) SUN. & blS' ' jS;i rr m JEANNE CRASH ci.Air.E Tnivcn i COLOR CARTdON Savings Bonds maturing .'this month? 41 LAM In m : ' It's a Wonderful Story i The true story of America's , first Triple Jet t, Ace and a , girl called ' Butch... ; ,v ' v 1' A ...
