Adios Butler won the $76,582 Little Brown Jug today to sweep pacing's triple crown and to become the biggest money winning 3-year- Bi-JIMMYPOWERS It was bewildering-, at first, to read Frank Lane had old pacer in history. The bay colt, driven by Cana 73 XJi P3 dian Clint Hodgins, picked up $28,335.34 to run his 1959 bank- roll to $150,033.34.

ADIOS BUTLER added the Jug conquest to his victories in the Cane Futurity and Messenger Stakes in record-breaking style. He won his opening heat in the divided field in 1:59.2 over Delaware County Fair's half-mile track and came back to win the deciding heat in a whipping finish by about a length over Meadow Al in 2:00.4. i Meadow Al driven by Califor- nian Joe O'Brien, who triumphed a year ago with Shadow Wave, (AP) The way the gamblers see it, the Braves will win the NL pennant. But they're not so sure about the World Series. Milwaukee was 5-8 on 'today's betting line and the the Dodgers were 6-5.

This means you would have to bet $8 to win $5 if you were going with Milwaukee, or to win $6 if you liked Los Angeles. The Worid Series is 10-11 and pick 'em. This means the bettor can pick either the White Sox or the NL winner and put up 111 to win $10. Steelers Take Dial of Giants Los Angeles, Sept. 24 (UP1).

Buddy Dial, former All-America end from Rice who was the New York Giants' No. 2 choice in the last NFL draft, has been claimed by the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Giants asked waivers Tuesday night on Dial and Lee Grosscup. ex-Utah quarterback whom they selected first in the draft. Pittsburgh, seeking offensive ends, claimed Dial for the league's $100 waiver price.

Jimmy Orr and Jack McClairen, Pittsburgh's top offensive ends, are recovering from leg injuries suffered in a pre-season game with the Chi- Ford Eyes 1G The Yankees enter the final weekend of the season at their highest point in an otherwise dismal campaign.

Now Lane says he intended all along to consider Gordon as jdugout boss in I960 and 61. This I doubt.

It is apparent Lane him-pelf has a boss, or perhaps a group of bosses, men who own a majority of stock in the Indians. They hired Lane. Then can free him if they feel like it. Luckily, these hard-bitten, highly-successful gentlemen do not operate as flamboyantly or as whimsically as the tantrum-tossing Lane. They must have summoned their boy Frankie to a little conference to ask a few penetrating questions.

It was obvious to even the lowliest knuckle-headed sideline observer that Lane's tizzies, niggling criticisms, and petty second guesses were not doine (a) the manager, (h) the players, or (c) the stockholders the slightest good. Actually Lane's entire performance was damaging to the point where next year it may develop irreparable harm has been done. Gordon had his opinion of the value of certain of Lane's imports. didn't make use of their services as frequently as Lane wished. The players felt an understandable security in knowing that, while Gordon didn't appreciate them.

Lane did. These are not going to be easy men to handle. Extension of the renewal of contract through 1161, therefore, is significant. Sol His Problems liy Firing People Lane, a hisrh-potency gespieler, has operated on the theory that the best way to solve any problem whether it involves a groundskeeper's inability to exterminate chinch bugs in the lawn or an electrician's failure to keep light bulbs from popping is to fire somebody. This might have started a little ground swell, a "Fire-Lane" movement among the board of directors.

At any rate, Lane quickly captured the first division heat in 2:00.2 after coming from eighth place in the last quarter-mile. In the deciding heat in which the first five from each division competed. Curly Smart had Ohio. Time on top at the quarter but Adois Butler took charge there and held off all challenges until the finish line.

He untied the can from Gordon's tail and Joe, sniffing and scenting which way the wind was now blowing, pressed his luck and asked full protection from future temperamental explosions. He demanded and received a two-year contract. We all have a tendency to overrate the power of a general manager.

Actually, while George Weiss is respected by his employers, he bows to their directions when they do move in to make big-time policy. Most owners don't interfere with petty decisions, the juggling of a batch of class hayseeds or the selection of the color scheme for the ladies lounge in Muskogee, Okla. They do give George a lot of rein, but you will note that Dan Topping is at the park 90r'r of the time and Dan can be found in bis office almost every working day of the summer. He makes it a point to visit each of the enemy parks at least once a season. Shortly after the Indians were reorganized, I had the pleasure of playing a round of golf with one of the Cleveland stockholders, Ignatius Alovsius by name.

O'Shsugnessy is definitely no fool. He is a multi-millionaire who was born in Stillwater, in 1885, and received degrees from St. Thomas College and Notre Dame. Not too many years back he gave Notre Dame a little chunk of cabbage, something like 1.5 million. It wasn't his first bequest of that caliber and it won't be his last.

O'Shnughnessy made his money in oil. He is a big realtor, a director in several railroads and a batch of banks. He has a nice smooth golf swing, clear eyes and an alert brain. I asked him how he came to invest in the Indians and he explained a fellow financier invited him in. He liked Cleveland and felt it was a good investment.

I asked if he would assume a supervisory iole in the direction of the club. He thought about it for a moment, then said he felt the proper thing to do was to hire an expert in that line, the way he hired petroleum geologists, then sit back and inspect the results. "If, however, you don't get the results you want, then you step in and inquire why. That's the way any intelligent businessman operates. Even IVeiss Has to Answer lo Itosses We can assume from this that the brash hired hand.

Lane, was invited to a summit conference just as George Weiss certainly will invited to discuss his prescription for his equally ailing Yankees. In both instances the men with the money run the show. 'O'Shaughnessy, for all we know, wanted nothing to do with the likes of Leo Durocher and simply pushed the little buzzer on his desk and Lane came running. If what Weiss suggests does not meet with the approval of Dan Topping or Del Webb, you know which plan will be carried out. All owners say they leave everything up to their office boss.

What they say and what actually happens is not always the same. Surprisingly, the powerful moulders of opinion in Cleveland were not high on Durocher. Gordon Cobbledick wrote: "Among those mentioned as successors to Gordon Leo Durocher, Charley Dressen, Marty Marion, Fred Hutchinson is none who in my book has proved himself a better man for the Cleveland situation than the incumbent."

If Bruton i scratched again, it'll be Al irpan-gler, the lefthanded rookie from Louisville, in center against risrht-hander Don Cardwell. A swiftie. Spangler had three Sine-drive hits in the game in Pittsburgh night. Iogan's return strengthens the Braves immeasurably. Not only does it give them a solid shortstop who wins games with his hat (.289, 13 home runs but, with Mantilla at second base, they are much stronger there, defensively.

Playing alongside shortstop Mantilla the past week, Bobby Avila has allowed too many bounding balls to get past him to the left side and the right. Cardwell. Robin Roberts and Jim Owens are to serve the three games for the Phils. The Braves will line up with Lew Burdotte and Warren Spahn in the first two, and either Bob Buhl or Juan Piiarro in the Sunday finale. Burdette and Spahn will have had four days' rest something they've needed.
