ANNOUNCING JOB Win or Lose Milwaukee Pilot May Quit living for himself and Mi family outside the active field REALITAUAM Fred Haney May Quit Baseball Good end Bad Days-Willie Is the Same By Milton Gross Worth American Newspaper Alliance SAN FRANCISCO, After the Braves had beaten the Dodgers Monday night in Los Angeles, Manager Fred Haney mentioned he had seen his 92-year-old mother that day and she had said she didn't know if the pennant race is harder on her than on him. "It's not hard on me," Haney had answered. "Everything is under control.

We're doing all right." The Braves are doing all right and so is Haney personally. He's fast reaching the point where he'll decide he's finally had it in baseball. In other words, win or lose this season, Haney a resign. "Remember one thing," Haney cautioned me, when I braced him with the question. "A man's got to be able to afford to resign.

I've got a mother to take care of, a family to support and I don't have enough money." It was neither an affirmation nor a denial, but the writer Perini, owner of the Braves, learned that Haney is attempting to make new arrangements which would give htm sufficient funds to drop the demanding life of a major league manager which puts such a strain on a 61-year- old man. threw former Reds' Manager Birdie Tebbetts in as an overseer, but perely because Haney is anxious to get out of harness. Tebbetts, onetime foe of Haney when Fred was manager of the Browns and Tebbetts was an American League catcher, a HANEY had conferred stepped into the managerial Buzzy Bavasi of the Dodgers at all this year. This is asked about a job as a broad-ion the highest authority. Haney caster of Dodger games.

The has satisfied his employers and Dodgers have not given him an answer and won't until this pennant race is done, but they look favorably on having this baseball-wise man who is a native of the Los Angeles area and for four years before accepting Branch Rickey's call to man- he is satisfied with them, but he misses being home. He has four grandchildren and he misses terribly seeing and playing with them. He misses his mother, who needs care, and he is just plain ready to take off his sweaty uniform, give up air- age the Pirates, broadcast plane timetables and emotional games of the old Hollywood Stars, demands of pennant races which Haney was dropped by the Pir- 6 tou on far younger men. ates, caught on as a coach with the Braves and when Charley Grimm was fired three years ago, Fred was made the interim manager at Milwaukee. WHEN I told Haney, who is profane in manly baseball way but gentle in a human way, that I intend to write the story of his Now Fred's had it not, as it he did not fuss or is generally presumed, because'fume as, say his Glendale neigh- bor and old World Series rival, Casey Stengel, would.

"Don't make yourself look bad," Fred said to me. "I dont think I will," I said. "It's your story," he said. But it isn't my story completely. It's the story of the people who are extremely close to Haney and to whom he has spoken.

For I know that two years ago Fred wanted to resign, came to another baseball man for advice and was talked out of doing it. Last fall Haney was disturbed by Tebbetts' new job and he could not but have qualms that the old catcher was shoved in to backstop him. It was particularly disturbing because after winning a pennant and World Series from the Yankees, Haney's team had just won a pennant and lost a World Series. This, more than any other reason, was why Haney came back for another year although emotionally he was tempted to give up the deal. Early this season, when the Braves were in Los Angeles, By Milton Gross North American Newspaper Alliance SAN FRANCISCO It is the measure of Willie Mays' artistry maturity that he takes' all things in stride.

The bad days' come with the good days. A con-i crete wall stops him, but he tries to climb it nonetheless. Lew Burdette strikes him out and Willie discloses how much! he was fooled. He makes catches Houston others couldn't reach and misses balls because of his own certainty. Sometimes the hits a sometimes they don't, but they ASSN.

Yet it reflected the pride Willie has in himself and his importance to the Giants, although much of the season has been a trying one for the player we once knew as a happy go lucky, simple youngster whose only delight in life was playing ball.

Before the game, for example, I'd asked Willie a routine question at tlie batting cage. "How do you feel today?" "I'm sore all over, said not as an alibi for the last week he had run or jumped at full speed into the concrete wall in right field catching or trying to catch baseballs hit there by the opposition. As Willie said, it's the only way he knows how to play. There are abrasions on his skin extending from his left shoulder down to his thigh. He is a mass of aches, but he is the one who played for over a month with a broken on his right hand before hp disclosed that fact to me recutly.

He just didn't want to alibi and he just didnt want to be forced out of the lineup. The finger's still bent grotesquely and there's an impressive looking swelling on it, but you couldn't know if you'd watched Willie forcing his body to do tilings it may have rebelled against doing in the most vital game the Giants have played and won all year. WHEN IT WAS all over, the first one Manager Bill Rigney rushed at in the Giants' dressing room was Willie, whose locker is next to Sam Jones, the hardworking pitcher who helped preserve the victory in relief of Jack Sanford. "Willie, you're something," Rigney said Mays is. "How about that Sam," said, trying to steer conversation away from himself.

He said then: "If I feel at the end of the season the way I feel now I might resign." The Braves were not doing too well then. Haney had been away from his grandchildren, whom he adores, for some time. It was an honest comment and on this last Milwaukee trip into L.

the question was raised for Haney again by some reporters. Fred ducked it. "Right now," he said, "I have too much on my mind to think about it." HE HAD and he has at thej moment, with the Braves hot after the Giants and the schedule beginning to favor them. However, Fred made tenative inquiries about future employment earlier this week in L. A.

And, if the answer comes up right, the old gent will seriously think about saying goodbye to the dugout. I even raised the point with Johnny McHale, young general manager of the Braves, who has been rooting for them on this trip with all the fever of a fan. "I'm not saying a thing while this race is on," said Johnny. "I don't want to be put into a position where anything that is said or done detracts from the race. That's our prune objective." It was the answer that was expected, but--here, too, a vehement denial could have been indicated if the front office didn't suspect or have some indication there might be a change on the field.

"Fred's been through the mill," I said. "He's not a young man. He deserves to take off his shoes." "He's still got a helluva lot of get up and go in him," McHale said. This can't be disputed. Nor, for that matter, that Haney wants out and will take it if he can find another way to make an ade- I A Join Us For A telktau Snack or Pizza After Tht Movie! NEW HOURS: Sun.

There is no reason to think that the 195960 season cannot be even more successful. Two annual local chess events which will be scheduled soon will be the rapid transit championship and the East Side-West Side match. Speaking of chess programs, the club players received ques- ionaires to fill out and turn in, indicating their preferences as to program, etc.

THE TOURNAMENT to produce a challenger for a title match with World Champion Mikhail Botvinnik is now under way in Yugoslavia. The games will be played in more than one starting with Bled of the great 1931 international tournament where Alekhine won one of his greatest triumphs. The 1959 American represen- ive, young Bobby Fischer, chess champion of the United States ivhile still in his teens, is having some rather spectacular ups and downs. The ups consist of first and fourth round wins over Paul 4 55 27 55 21 29 35 3 57 20 53 19 38 45 1 30 18 33 16 13 14 9 10 121 49 109 42 39 99 7 8 159 84 169 70 70 80 8 127 70 137 64 36 44 7 133 79 154 72 35 44 7 6 5 4 76 44 69 37 48 54 9 12 125 39 88 29 46 96 3 4 48 39 72 27 19 44 5 7 127 54 VM 53 43 40 2 3 34 43 17 17 28 2 3 32 17 38 12 5 7 11 US 73 155 55 49 S3 3 81 40 19 36 55 4 91 52 71 44 51 2 4 68 51 79 37 34 42 3 7 96 42 84 39 31 49 3 7 83 37 74 32 34 44 3 7 8 3 4 3 8 8 4 0 3 0 4 2 5 12 131 48 129 53 55 69 2 91 34 88 27 23 43 2 5 61 23 42 15 27 63 3 88 40 92 35 44 80 3 9 119 84 151 74 45 57 1 3 84 41 104 35 34 26 2 7 106 38 104 29 26 46 1 7 56 34 56 32 37 32 0 5 38 26 41 23 34 20 0 5 36 26 40 23 22 7 0 1 23 15 28 13 8 10 DuPoiit Junior Ties Roosevelt DuPont and Roosevelt Junior High Schools battled to a 6-6 tie Saturday afternoon in their season opener. DuPont took a 6-0 lead at halftime with a 35 yard second quarter scoring pass from Quarterback Gary Martin to End Douglas Williams.

Roosevelt scored in the third period on a 40 yard run. DuPont will play its next game at 2:15 Friday with Midway. Roosevelt 6 0--4 DuPont 0 4 0 0--4 always around the plate when he pitches, but this time he wasn't." "But how about you, Willie," somebody persisted. "Is i your best day?" "I've had a few good days," Willie said. "I had four for five three games last year, but it's the first four for four day I've had here." "Does this do it?" somebody else said.

"Are you in now, "This game was the most important of the whole year," Willie answered. "Now maybe we can afford to lose one. If we take two out of three from the Dodgers, maybe we'll be in good shape. But if you ask me does this one put us in the series, how do you expect me to answer that? Do I know? Nobody knows." Luis Marquez of Dallas Wins Association Batting Honors Luis Marquez of Dallas won the 1959 batting championship in the American Association with a .345 average, according to final unofficial statistics compiled by the Howe News Bureau. Bob Will of Fort Worth placed second with a mark of .336.

Henry Mitchell of Denver finished third with .323, followed by Chuck Tanner of Minneapolis with .319 and Joe Hicks of Indianapolis with .315. Ron Jackson of Indianapolis won the home run crown with 30 round-trippers and also led in runs batted in with 99. Will was tops in hits with 203, runs scored with 101 and total bases with 278. Tanner led in doubles with 41 while Al Spangler of Louisville and Bob Sadowski of Omaha were high in triples with 12 apiece. Ellis Burton of Omaha and Rod Kanehl shared the top spot in stolen bases, each with 18.

Will appeared in the most games, 162. Marion Fricano of Dallas was the leading pitcher with an earned ran average of 2.02. He and Georges Maranda of Louisville were tops percentage-wise, each with .750 figures. Charleston's Bob Brace struck out the most batters, 177. Maranda and teammate Don Nottebart won the most games, 18 apiece.

Nottebart also started the most games, 36, and pitched the most innings, 258. Denver's Ed Donnelly hurled the most complete games, 17. George Spencer of Charleston appeared in 85 games as a pitcher to eclipse the mark of 83 set by Steve Gerkin while with Minneapolis in 1947. Indianapolis won the team batting championship with a .275, average. Minneapolis was tops I in team fielding with a .976 percentage.

Keres and Svetozar Gligoric, respectively. The downs are represented by second and sixth round losses to two of the Russian contingent, Tigran Petrosian (an Armenian) and Mikhail Tal (a Latvian). Bobby drew Pal Benko in round three and adjourned his i round game with Frederik Olafson, in a position somewhat favorable to his Icelandic opponent. AT THIS challengers' tournament is a double round-robin affair, Bobby still has pretty fair chances at least in theory. After six rounds, Petrosian led the field, 4 to Tal had 314 to 2 1 and Keres 3 to 2.

But if Fischer has already lost twice, he is in good company with such noted and experienced grandmasters as Vassily Smyslov and Paul Keres. However, the U. S. champion will probably settle and finish with a good score perhaps even win the coveted first prize. In this chess event it is First or nothing.

There is no second prize comparable to the winner's opportunity to play for the chess championship of the world. But the young American has another strong asset along with his demonstrated skill, his youthful stamina. He is the youngest of all the in the challenge tournament.
