VST Si Watcliin9 His Ston Los Angeles, Oct. 9 This World Series needed a little shot in the butt, so they hired Casey Stengel. He threw out the first ball, and the people cheered this marvelous little man who is the greatest thing in baseball, even when he is out of baseball.

The day before, some of his friends from New York went up to visit with him in his fashionable home in the hills of Glendale. You can tell it is a fashionable California home because it has a pooL For home-made therapy, the Old Man tried walking around in the pool a couple weeks ago, and he overdid it, as he does a lot of things, so now he is walking with two canes instead of one. To Casey, It's a Slop Backward They are metallic canes, the type with grips for thr forearm just above the handle, and he resents them because they are a symbol to him that he has gone back instead of forward. "I was doin' so great when I left New York," he said, "I had myself believing I'd be dancin' before long. I tried to do too much, and now I feel pain here and here." He touched his left thigh and groin, then crossed his legs.

"They told me to stand like this every so often. It takes the weight off." Stengel watched the two games from Minny on TV. "The way they're playing," he said of the Dodgers, "it's rather shocking. They didn't expect to get hit like that." He meant Drysdale and Koufax. Zoilo Versalles had caught Stengel's expert eve in the first two games.

"That fellow at shortstop," said the Old Man, "he'a gonna be a good hitter, if he isn't already. Did you see the way he leans over the plate, and then he pokes that one down the rightfield line nice as you please for three bases." When Stengel got back home in September, he visited the ballpark. He will make Chavez Ravine his sometimes baseball office, and give what he can to the Mets.

positions, and maybe it will help the manager when he plays those other clubs." Casey didn't use a name. He said "the manager," and nobody ppressed him on it because you knew it wouldn't do any good. Ha would simply say, "Casey Stengel isn't hiring the next manager," because he ha3 said that before. Hut Wos Says lie Hasn't Heard Reports flying around pres3 HQ are that the Mets have decided to give Wes Westrum a continuing shot at the job. Wes is here, but he says he hasn't been told a thing.

When you ask Bing Devine about the Westrum rumor, he says: "I haven't heard about it." If the second ranking man in the front office says he hasn't heard about it, then it either isn't so, or he is telling a little white lie, and Bing Devine doesn't lie, not in white and black, or natural color. Westrum would be a good choice. He managed the club for 67 games after Stengel fell down in Shor's that night, showing the Philly coaches how to take a lead off first base. Wes' record was 18 wins and 48 losses, and there was one 18-inning tie in there near the end. Maybe you don't think l9-and-48 qualifies a man to manage the Mets just fine.

I'm not talking results, I'm talking about what I saw, and what the rest of the guys in the press box saw, and we saw Westrum do a good job, a solid job. He made the right moves, and he made them decisively. The only trouble is he was moving Mets and the other guy was moving Dodgers and Cardinals and Pirates. Westrum did good things with his pitchers. He made up his mind he would work the young ones, and at the end the Mets had some young pitchers who looked so good you were afraid to believe it was real.

They had Tug McGraw and Dick Selma and Rob Gardner, and if they had nybody who could score a run those kids would have won a lot of ballgames. There Is Only One Casey Stengel Westrum is not a glamorous baseball name, but who needs it? The Mets are past that stage; They needed Casey Stengel in the beginning, because people talk about Casey Stengel and come to see him, but after Casey Stengel there is nobody, absolutely nobody. There is no other non-playing person in baseball that people will pay to see, so it's preposterous to search for a succesor to Stengel on the basis of popularity. The time has come when the most popular thing with Met fans would be a few more wins. If a man has shown he can handle a big league ballclub.

that should be sufficient. The glamor guys are over (AMOciated Prrit Wlrrfoto) guy named Walt Alston, and every rated. In 1954, the Dodgers hired a body asked who was Walt Alston. Today, 12 years and five pennants later, there are more than a few people in America who will say, who is ait Alston 2-.
