CASEY STENGEL IS SIGNED TO MANAGE BOSTON Ex-Brooklyn Manager Is Signed To Manage Boston Bees Boston, Oct. 26—(U.R)—After a year interlude worth $15,000 for not managing the Brooklyn Dodgers, Charles Dillon (Caseyl Stengel returned to major league baseball today as pilot of the Boston Bees Stengels vacation with pay, begun when he was dismissed last year by Brooklyn with a year of his contract remaining, ended yesterday when President Bob Quinn invited him to replace Bill MeKechnie who left the Bees 17 days ago to become manager of the Cincinnati Reds. Casey, speaking from his oil fields in Omaha. Tex , accepted during a $20.70 telephone talk that was as dramatic as it was unprecedented Quinn summoned Boston baseball writers to his private office, put through the long distance call and invited all to listen. ‘‘Do you want to come with mt ?” Quinn asked Stengel “I'd lie delighted," came the reply. “Well, you’ve got the job." It was as simple as that. Somebody asked Quinn about Stengel’s clowning on the field "He can be as serious as any other person can possibly be and he is as loyal as anybody 1 know." Quinn replied. That was the tip-off that Casey the "un-clowned" would be all business in his new job. He is tackling a serious job here—a job that ; was such a challenge to McKechnie that he could drive the Boston entry into the first division only twice in eight years. No contractual details were discussed. They will be taken care of when Stengel comes to Boston next month. The transaction —which did not contain a great element of surprise —thus reunites Brooklyn’s former front-office and field, bosses. Quinn was general manager of the Dodgers when Stengel succeeded Max Carey as manager in 1934. Casey w<»s deposed Oct. 5. 1936. and was paid more—sls.ooo —for not man-1 aging the club in the past season than his successor. Burleigh Crimes, received —reportedly $lO.000. Quinn left Brooklyn after the 1935 season to head the reorganized Boston club. By an ironic twist, the Bees’ I

Two of the principal reasons why the smaller schools are proving giant-killers is because of the improved quality of their coaching and scouting. There is a greater number of smart, capable coaches today than ever before and even the little colleges are benefiting The season has also turned out . well for some of the grid mentors who are tutoring new elevens, such as Carl Snavely whose second year at Cornell has been a good one, and Ossie Solem who put Syracuse on the map his first season ; there by upsetting the Big Red.

■ managerial problem was settled ; two hours after Babe Ruth, who unsuccessfully sought the job in the turbulent days of 1935. arrived here en route to Nova Scotia on a j hunting trip. j The Babe said that while he I would be "tickled pink" to step into McKechnie’s old position, he | had received no offer Stengel was the third choice. j Donie Bush, manager of the Minneapolis club of the American Association declined Catcher Gabby Hartnett of the Chicago Cubs was not. available. i Tin- new 46 year-old Boston pilot who hails from Glendale. Calif., broke into professional baseball in his native Kansas City where ho' acquired the nickname "Casey." , He started his major league career with Brooklyn, getting “four-for-four" in his big league debut. He went to Pittsburgh, the New York, Giants for whom he won two world series games in 1923 with home runs ■— and. coincidentally, ended his major league playing , career here with the then Boston, Braves. Before returning to Brooklyn as coach in 1932. he was mad? man- ’ ager of the Braves’ farm team in Worcester, Mass. latter he was appointed president of the club and it was then that he signed his own unconditional release so he could take the Toledo managing job. o * ♦ Along The Sidelines Ohio State Columbus. 0., Oct. 26 — (UP) — Ohio State concentrated today on the defense which Chicago is expected to use in Saturday's game. ■ Coach Francis A.

The banner game will be played in New Haven's Yale -bowl with Yale and Dartmouth colliding in the only battle pairing perfect record teams. Minnesota’s Golden Gophers, de-j seated by Nebraska, entertain ' Notre Dame at Minneapolis in a game that has been a sellout for weeks. The few remaining teams with 1 clean slates meet formidable opposition and the list seems certain to h© in for drastic cut tin". Yale, enjoying one of its best seasons in years, hasn't defeated Dartmouth since 1934. The Minnesota-Notre Dame game was a “natural" late last year after Notre Dame had crushed the Northwestern team which broke Minnesota’s winning streak Both teams will carry scars into Saturday’s battle, but this does not de- J tract from national interest. Other perfect record teams have tough assignments.
