One was that Charley Dressen, whose teams had won two successive pennants and lost two World Series to the Yankees, had lately been eased out. The other was that Pee Wee Reese had been consulted regarding the job and had said, Not for me just yet, anyhow. O'Malley sought to dispel notions that Alston, a 10-year man in the minor league chain, had been brought up as interim manager until such a time as Reese might feel otherwise.

I want to assure the new manager that there is no one breathing on his neck unIumilea O'Malley said, and he turned to address Alston. Its your job, Walter. Its no secret that wo point for a pennant a World Series but it's not essential that you win to maintain the job. Losing because of a shortcoming is something else, but no one has ever been fired as the Brooklyn manager because he lost."

The principal complaint against Alston is that he is not a talkative man. When asked a question, he answers in the fewest possible words. If he doesnt know the answer, he says. I don't know. This creates difficulties for the newspaperman, who 1 di prefer him to sit around spinning readable yarns.

The crime most frequently charged against Charley Dres-j sen and Leo Durocher is that they are talkative men. This is not so grievpus a fault as Alstons. A fellow can listen to Dressen or Durocher long enough to get a story and then go away and rest his ears. Listening to Alston is like sitting alone in an uflfumished room. No judgment is offered here regarding the recent display of bad temper on the pert of Alston and Jackie Robinson and somo of the camp followers.

It was either a teapot tempest or a symptom of unsatisfactory rapport between the manager and bis players. Thats a decision to be reached later on tho basis of team performance; certainly it wasn't what OMalley called it, a healthy manifestation of competitive spirit.
