Several requests from non-member clubs for inclusion in the BASEBALL MEN and fans are wondering why Charley Dres-sen was dismissed as coach of the Brooklyn Dodgers immediately after Branch Rickey, new president cf the club, re-signed Leo Durocher as manager, Both Rickey and Durocher praised Dressen for his smartness and loyalty as coach. But Charley was given the sack nevertheless. There is much speculation whether Dressen was lired by Rickey because he is a beer salesman during the off season, Rickey being a teetotaler, or whether Durocher sacrificed Dressen to SRve his own skin, fearing Rickey might cotton to Charley and appoint him manager later on.
