— — w Today's Sport Parade \ By Oscar Fraley I (Reg. U. S. Pet. Off.) I O. 0 New York. Aug. 2 fl'PI Three major league managers have been replaced this season and the count probably would have been doubled by today except for the' fa i tiiat baseball finds Itself stymied by a self-imposed dearth of e'a|e ( able managerial talent. "The trouble is." explained one owner who is thinking of a shift in pilots, "that for years we hire asked our players only whether they could run, throw and hit. We never asked if they could think." The result I* a machine-made ball player, a mechanical product without personality or the spark of intellectual leadership. Those three change* already made this season emphasize the; seriousness of the situation. Th« Phillies dusted oft Ben Chapman and had to go to unknown Eddie Sawyer, never a ball of fire at Toronto. The Giants swapped Mel ott, a New York legend, for Leo Durocher. a shift akin to sacrilege Brooklyn came back with ancient Burt Shotton. who purportedly I didn’t want to manage last year when he was only 62. Ttyo other managers definitely' are on the way out Eddie Dyer of the Cardinals and J >hnny Neun of the Cincinnati Red*. The axe hangs high for four others Lou Boudreau. Joe Kuhel. Za h Taylor and Steve O'Neill. Dyer is the victim of a ball club which came apart at the seams. Neun had beard the wolf call all sea Hon because the club looked' great in spring training and then folded. Boudreau almost has to win the pennant which Jie mistakenly claimed a week or so ago. Kurel' and Taylor never had a chance and O'Neill’s post is shaky due to temperament and hard hick. The question is. who is there to replace them? The answer is, almost nobody. Take that from one owner who surveyed the field thoroughly In one of the rec-ent shifts. Big league managerial timber Is very scarce. Lefty O'Doul of the San Fraic isco Seals, a great prospect. isn't interested. Larry Gilbert. I part owner of .Nashville, Isn't el-1 (her.

Among the minor league managers that leaves for graduation only Pau) Ric hards of Buffalo, Kiki Cuyier of Atlanta and Bruno Betzel of Jersey City, according to this one owner.
