Johnny Pesky has been dumped, an inevitable circumstance for the manager of a team finishing eighth in a ten-team league. Billy Herman is the new manager. He is no genius. If he were, he would have landed a job long since.

Herman is the Routed, Tied by Idle Redlegs bridge playing champion of major league coaches. He is first man in the press room after a spring training workout at Scotts-dale. On trips, he doesn't read or sit around gabbing. Cards are Billy Herman's off the field means of relaxing. He may find that good ball players are even better for his peace of mind.

VERNON, N.Y effectively from lone range ton. He said at a press conference Friday that getting the respect of his players was the most important thing a manager had to do. Two years ago in the spring, at a wild spot in the Arizona desert called Apache Junction, the Red Sox blew a ten-run lead and were whipped by the Houston Colts. Johnny Pesky, their new manager, didn't like it a bit. He chewed his men out No sense getting into careless habits, he told them, even if it meant only the loss of an exhibition game.

Pesky's ball players didn't like the bawling out. They might have ganged up on the manager right then and there. Pesky tried to impose discipline on the complacent athletes throughout the season, but it didn't work. They finished a limping seventh. The Red Sox players must have been hoping for a new manager in 1964, but they got Pesky again.

This time they finished eighth. Pesky got real tough in mid-summer, blowing his top because Dick Stuart and Carl Yastrzemski, two of his super-stars, didn't hustle. Both men were benched for their indifferent attitude. It didn't make a particle of difference. Pesky discovered it was too late.

600th Victory Easy For Power Running Elis in Yale Bowl By PAT BOLDUC Courant Sports Writer i NEW HAVEN A vastly superior Yale Bulldog outclass Beat Tribe By 8 to 3 Score Five in 8th To Break Deadlock NEW YORK (AP) The New York Yankees clinched a record-tying fifth consecutive American League pennant Saturday their first under rookie Manager Yogi Berra by whipping Cleveland 8-3 on a five-run eighth inning rally triggered by Bobby Richardson's tie-breaking single. The Yankees' dramatic victory on the next to the last day of the season eliminated the runner-up Chicago White Sox from contention and brought the New York club 8ts 14th pennant in the last 16 years and the 29th in its history. Duplicate Feat The Yankees, the only team ever to win five consecutive pennants, duplicated a feat they accomplished from 1949 through 1953 when Richardson lined the ball over the head of Dick How-ser at short with two out in the eighth. Howser, timing his jump perfectly, leaped high into the air, but the ball popped out of his glove and dropped right at his feet. Howser was unable to make a play as Clete Boyer raced home with the winning run.

Boyer got the Yankees started in the eighth against Lee Stanga when he singled with one out. After John Blanchard sent a long fly to right field, Phil Linz bounced a single between short and third, sending Boyer to third. At this point, Cleveland Manager Birdie Tebbetts came out to confer with Stange, who had been in and out of trouble-throughout the game. Tebbetts decided to leave Stange in to pitch to Richardson, who then wrapped it up. Roger Maris then walked, filling the bases, and reliever Pete Mikkelsen, who came on in jthe sixth when the Indians tied the score 3-3 and allowed only I one hit before Pedro Ramos took over in the ninth.

The triumph was Mikkelsen's sixth against four losses. Stange is 7-14. The Indians had tied the score in the sixth with a two-run rally capped by Max Alvis' triple over the head of Tom Tresh in deep left Held the first run. One out later. Alvis slammed his triple, tying the score and chasing Yankee drive of the day in the final cne minute and three seconds.

Yawkey packed up and left Boston prior to the press conference at which Pesky's dismissal was made public. Maybe he wanted to rewrite the Red Sox contracts in a downward direction, which would be a helpful thing for Herman, but this I will believe only if I hear it from the owner's mouth.
