Durocher turned to Dean, silting nearby, and addressed the former great pitcher, who is now radio sports announcer.

He is faster than DiMog, too." Durocher, Dean and Moore were teammates on the St. Louis CardU nal teams of the 1330s. In Mays' absence Durocher plans to alternate Hank Thompson in centerfield against rlghthanded pitching and Chuck Dierine; against lefthanded pitching. Bob Elliott will be the every day leftfietder.
