Lou Boudreau Having Little luck As Boss Youthful Manager Os Cleveland May Return To Ranks New York. June 2 IVP» - Today as the major b-aguex resumed activity after a one-day schedule break.

A player-manager was standard equipment hack In the day» when the National league was in it* infancy. Kosters were small and in cornea were modest then A manager who did nothing but manage was an undreamed of luxury. Today. however, the complexities of the gam,- have multiplied so that dugout directors have become almoat n-e<«sary personnel Officially, Joe Cronin of the Boston Ked Sox and la-o Dnrocber of the Brooklyn Dodgers an- also on the player -manager list. But both have virtually retired lati is almost certain never to see action again, while Cronin will leave the dugout again only If rookie Johnny Pesky Is called into the army Both Ott and Boudreau have been having a stormy lime in their first Joust with managerial duties. But Lou's club ha* been wallowing around so helplessly that he may become a full-time player sooner than expected. The 24 year-old Boudreau grabbed hold of tli>- completely deflated Indians this year with considerable authority His team broke from the barrier with a surprising burst that included a 13-game winning streak. But today the tribe I* within a whisper of falling into the American league'* second division. ♦ — - ♦ — Last Time Tonight — "KINGS ROW'' Ann Sneridan Rob'.. Cumming* Ronald Reagan.

Cleveland has lost three in a row 11 out of 13. is out of their last 28 and has had to call on 13 pitchers in the last seven games, while collapsing into a tie for third. I just two game* above the fifth place St. laiul* Browns. The Browns have found the Indians particularly ea«y pickings, winning six game* from them this season, more than they have taken from any other club in the circuit. Boudreau's headache was aggravated by the loss of pitcher Bobby Feller and the retirement of Hal Trosky Even ao. the wolves have already begun to whisper that Burt Shotton may take over the rein and leave Ixrti to his shortstopping Ott. at 33. took over almost a* Herculean a task of rebuilding when he assumed the managership of the Giants—a team which, for the first time since 19"?,. had finished in rhe second division for three euei-e*xive years. The team had fallen apart tn the field and at the | plate and needed player-r-plenlsh-ment at almost every position. Where Boudreau can at least boast of a few good hitters. Ott whose (Hants are now tied for fourth In the National league, a gam- and a half out of fifth lias ha* but mediot re luck No surprise i winning atreak has lightened his ; load of misery. The (Hants have . been kayoed regularly by the three ; top clubs, the Dodgers. Curd* ami j Braves, dropping hi of 23 contests Io tit- se teams. An old baseball axiom says that when a great player take* over the managership > f a ball club, he becomes a second-rate player and a third rate manager. In the case of Ott and Boudreau. It apparently hasn't affected their playing. Bui their managing well?

The pool was filled with water for the first time yesterday, he stated, and only remaining preparatory work Is testing the filters.

O — Revise Schedule To Help Relief Funds - Relief Game Crowds Disappoint Harridqe 7~ Chicago June 2 — ('UP) —A revised schedule to increase baseball's contribution to army and navy relief funds wax announced today -by American l-eagu-- president William Jiarridge. Disappointed wit'll the crowds attracted to four weekday contents played in the past two weeks for the service funds. Harridge urged dUb owners to adopt a new plan to Bolster gate receipts. After lengthy conferences it was decided to play three Bunday doubleheaders and a night game in place of four single day contests. The double-headers, all scheduled Aug. 23. Washington at New York; Boston at Philadelphia and St. Ixitiis at DetroitIn the night game the Chicago White sox will eiftertain the Cleveland Indians on July 2. Attendance at American league relief games ha* fallen far below erpectations. When the games ' were announced Harridge set a goal of 1376,809 for the charity contest receipts. That estimate was based on anticipated sellout crowds in every city. However, the 12.500 fans attracted at Washington for a xenator-New York Yankee gam? was Philadelphia at Boston 12.218; Detroit at St. Louis 8.496 and Chicago at Cleveland 7,959. The American League total for games was 41. 161. which was less than the 48.822 the Broklyn Dodgers drew against the New York Giants In their relief Battle. The Brooklyn game was the lone major Ixtegue service tilt which has attracted a large turnout. Other National league games pulled only 3.366 far.s at Philadelphia and 9,966 at Chicago. In announcing the decision to play the Sunday twin-bills and a night game for the service fund. Harridge Mid. '•We were sincere in thinking the we-kday games would draw well and were disappointed with the attendance.
