Casey Stengel Says Yankees To Need Help ‘ ‘NIEIW YORK UP—Casey Stengel insisted tbday that his world champion Yankees “need help” — and what’s more, he said it with a straight face! Disregarding the snickers which greeted bis statement, Stengel said he saw certain signs of future trouble because of the advanced age of his pitching staff.. “Laugh if you like,” he said, ‘•but the fact is that fellows like Allie Reynolds, Ed Lopat, Vic Ra schi and Johnny Sain ain’t exactly kids any more. “We’re gonna have to make some changes, in our pitching staff because of its age. Those fellows just can’t pitch as often as they used to any more and tbafs all there i» to it.” --- Working himself intc a worrying mood, the Yankee manager said he was sure there would be “a lot of deals” among the other clubs this winter. ' “Sure, we need help,” he declared, “but who’s genna give it

to us? The other elabs will probably deal among themselves this winter and they’ll all be strengthened. But you can’t expect any of ’em to help us.” Stengel, who cleaned out his desk drawers at' Yankee Stadium Tuesday, finding ’in them such is sorted trivia as good luck charms, newspaper clippings, ancient letters and lineups and eVqn a package of bubble gum, said he would remain in town for a few days before flying to his home in Glendale, Calif. "I’m not so sure we’ll have any cake-walk to the pennant next year," he said, “but I heard that my players figure we’re ‘in’ again in |'954 and I'm glad to know that they’re so confident. “Os course,” he added, seeing the brighter side finally, “that out field of mine will be even better next year and with Gerry Coleman back, the infield still looks good." Stengel still couldn't get over the fabulous series showing of his “bqys”, scrappy Billy Martin. “It says here,” he said, picking up a letter from his desk, “that Charlie Dressen and Cookie Lavagetto both helped Martin at Oakland. It also says in this letter that I ain’t got no right to call myself a genius on account of Martin’s development. “The guy who wrote this letter is absolutely right. Certainly, Dressen and Lavagetto helped Martin

a lot. And I never called myself a genius. "I’ll tell you this, though,” Casey continued, squinting through ats eye glasses. "The kid was an erratic ball player when he, first came up with us but there’s nothing he can’t do on the ball field today. He Can play any place now. If 1 need me a new shdrtStop, I can play either him or Coleman, there.” Then, remembering that he had some worrying to do, Stengel coacluded: “But our pitching may give us a lot of trouble next year.” Herb Shriner Show Lineup FORT WAYNE, Ind>. — The lineup for the all-star Herb Shriner show at Memorial Coliseum (Fort Wayfie) for Sunday afternoon has been completed.
