The Australian Empire Games runners John Landy and Don Mac-Millan will return from Canada to become teachers at their old schools.

Landy, who is a Bachelor of Agricultural Science, will take agricultural and biological classes at the Geelong Grammar School, Corio, in the last term of this year. Early next year he will go on to the Timbertoppers branch of the school near Mansfield. MacMillan, senior prefect at Geelong College in 1946, will return there to teach geography and English.

All managers say, as Durocher has been saying, "we'll play 'em one at a time," but few do, especially with their pitchers.

Eddie Stanky has been acting like a "play 'em one-at-a-time manager," relieving with his starters and starting his relievers, and he's just about killed his team's chances of finishing in the first division. With your pitchers, you have to plan, and you can bet that Durocher and Walt Alston are planning their pitching, in fact have planned most of it, for the weekend series in latbiish on Friday night, Saturday and Sunday. But it isn't only pitching that is worrying the two field bosses with the big ones coming up so soon. They have other problems with player personnel that are keening them awake nights. AFTER PITCHING.

Durorher's main problem is hitting: with Alston It's a combination of both at this particular time, plus an anxiety over Koy Campanella. The last time the Brooks went to hat. in the eighth inning against the Keds on Sunday, thev exploded l'l runs. They now feel that they are readv to produce the kind of an attack that witheifd opposing Pitchers in recent vcars. and which has been missing in so manv of thW season's games.

It may be true, they will get some rims from now- on, but it usually takes a combination of hitting, pitching, and defense which makes pitching to win pennants. And the Brook pitching and defense, has not tightened. It will take more than runs and Alston knows that.
