'oycE oy-y TEBBETTS QUITS AS CINCY PILOT Tebbetts. who was named manager of the year in 1956. when Cincinnati finished third, was popular with the fans until this season. Then the grandstand wolves got on him, and every time he poked his head out of the dugout, he was greeted with boos and. catcalls.

There was no outward sign that such treatment affected him, however. "If I were Birdie, I'd do the Tebbetts become manager Sept. 29. 1953. after the sea-Coach Jimmy Dykes.

62. longtime manager of the Chicago club of the American league will have charge of the team until a successor to Tebbetts is named. The club, floundering all season, finally dropped to the bottom of the National league "Wednesday night after losing a doubleheader to the world CINCINNATI, Aug. 14 UP) Birdie Tebbetts. the philosopher, quit Thursday as manager of the Cincinnati Redlegs and Gabe Paul, his boss until that minute, said he didn't blame him.

It was not that he felt that be was not doing a good job. Birdie said in a statement, but that he believed his continued presence as manager would hurt the club owners. General manager Paul, reviewing the situation poor-pitching, disappointing hitting, and injuries, declared: all want, but don't boo my playi Mils ukec Brav. WHAT they're saying, starting with heavyweight champion Floyd Patterson. "Everybody ask: me my plan of action for rny fight with Roy Harris.

have to say honestly that I haven't any except, guess to follow the rule my manager, Gus D'Amato, learned in his army days. That's always to be ready for anything that might happen." "I'm training to go 15 rounds, although I naturallj hope I can end it earlier. Harris is an unknown quan tity to us, although his undefeated record and every thing we've heard about him makes me expect tin toughest fight I've had. "We know he is a wonderfully conditioned athlete but this time he'll be meeting someone who also believes in keeping in perfect shape. "We expect that Harris can take a punch.

The onlj man to have him on the canvas was Bob Baker. An'c when a 218-pounder like Baker happens to get a puncl in, he can floor any fighter. The important thing is that Harris got up and won the bout." COMMENT: Monday's bout has caught the public's fancy like few other fights in recent years. Loofc for Harris to give the champ a much better test than did Pete Rademacher a year ago. Some Advice From Cobb THIS from baseball immortal Ty Cobb.

"If a boy with ability starts out in baseball and wants to become a really great player he's got to work at it. There are no short cuts. And by work I mean keeping himself physically fit the year round. "I don't want to appear a crabby old guy who insists they did everything better in the good old days. "The technique of the game has improved greatly.

In my day we had to learn the hard -va3-. Today the youngsters get expert coaching. "But we did work harder to keep ourselves physically fit and we'd work all year round, tramping 10 miles a day with heavy boots to keep our legs in shape in the autumn.

Tebbetts practiced what he learned wherever it could be applied in baseball. "Always keep your shoulders back and your head up when you are taken out of the box." he would tell his pitchers.

"Put your cap back so they can see your face. Look up." Tebbetts. who came here after managing Indianapolis of the American always stayed close by his pitchers as they took the long walk after he yanked them. He too. kept his head up and cap back.

"Itdoesnt pay to throw at some batters. Don't get Willie Mays mad. Try to be his friend and it'll pay off in the long run. You throw at Mays or knock him down, he gets up doubly determined lo hit the ball. And generally does.

"Best hitter I ever saw? Johnny Mize. I honestly believe he could have pulled Feller at his fastest on the darkest day of the season."
