Ted Search of Chester, former Harrisburg coach and longtime season, was in the same colleoc oraduatins class with Iba at Marv- ville, State Teachers in 1927. "During baseball that spring we used to take a break along the out field fence and talk about our plans," Search recalled. "Teach ing-coaching salaries were not ery good those days.

"Hank insisted that he would' not take any job unless he could get a salary of $1,800 i year. I settled for a starter of $1,600 and coached two years in Missouri before going to Harrisburg. "Hank held out for his $1,800 starting salary. It looked as if he would sit out the year at home because he did not get such a job. "He got a break when the basketball coach at Gassen High in Oklahoma City died and the school needed a coach.

It was the biggest high school in Oklahoma City, so he really got a fine start. "It didn't take him long to make the grade as a successful coach. His very first team at Classen not only won the state championship but al- so won the Stagg tournev at Chi- C2gO. The Stagg tourney, named after ootball Coach Alonzo Stagg of the University of Chicago, used to be a national championship prep basketball meet. Nearly all the state champions competed until the early 1930s when state associations quit permitting tneir teams to partici pate.

Lane claimed he thought he had such a lead that he coasted the last round. But it was the last round that Brown won the widest margin and that apparently was what clinched the fight to Brown. It was a steady, hard-sockinc; bout that saw Brown do the most physical damage but never able to land the kind of blow that had sent four previous challengers kicking since he became champion in August 1956.

Each entered the fight weighing 134U pounds. CURTIS CUPPERS FAIL AH' But Three Bow as Western Golf Enters Quarterfinals Chicago, Jdy 24 (AP) "She's a little tiger."

I have no plans for him at this time. I am nowT concentrating on the Floyd Patterson-Roy Harris fight." Viscusi also manages Harris. Big Year For Baseball Purges: Who'll Be Next? New York, July 24 (AP) Jack Tighe, Bobby Bragan and Mavo Smith have walked the plank. Who's next? The palace revolution in base-tall already has matched the 1957 total. With two months to go, it may balloon to the size of the 1952 purge when front office bosses fired five major league managers during the season.

When Tighe was ousted June 10 and replaced by Bill Norman, his Detroit Tigers were running last 12 games behind the New York Yankees. Despite a spurt under Norman and great success igainst the Yanks, the club was 17 games and sixth as it went into today's game with New York. Bragan's successor at Cleveland, Joe Gordon, inherited a sixth-place team that was 12 games back of the Yanks. Going into today's action the Indians were seventh tmd 18 games behind. The Phillies had made a brilliant run under Smith just before the All-Star game and there was pennant talk in the club house.

This quickly faded during a tail-pin on the road. When Sawyer took over the Phils were sixth, 8 Vi lengths behind the leader. Now they're only .001 behind the 4th place Cards 7 Vi back. Jn a way it was surprising to ee the Phillies fire Smith. The race so tight that any of the eight dubs still could win it with a real feot spurt.

As for the American League, if managers are to be fired because of ihe "games behind" column, tvmvbody except Casey Stengel had better start packing.

Ralph Terry blanked the Bosox on five hits until Pete Runnels singled and Ted Williams doubled him home in the eighth. The Orioles, within 2Vi games of second, had only four hits for eight innings, then beat Early Wynn (9-10) with four runs in the ninth at Chicago. Joe Ginsberg, who earlier counted two runs with his first homer, singled heme the first run of the rally.

Jack Harshman's pinch single tied it and Bob bovd two-run double won it for reliever George Zuver- ink(2-l).
