long distance telephone‘Wednesday night. His best bet looked like Baltimore but even the response from thre was not particularly encouraging. Before closeting himself in his Brooklyn hotel room after visiting hie ailing wife at a Long Island hospital Wednesday night, the depressed Dressen admitted he “still would like to manage the Dodgers next Vear” but he held firm In hie refusal to sigp a one-year contract. “Charley knows out proposition,’’ were the final words of Brooklyn 'President Walter O’Malley, “and the next move is strictly up to him.” But there were growing indications that the “door” O’Malley said would be “left open” for

Dressen’s return was slowly but surely closing. One Dodger official made that plain by declaring, “lEven if Dressen does change his mind now and decides to accept a one-year contract, he may not find that door as open as he thought.” From Lexington, Ky., meanwhile, Reese, the Dodger captain and shortstop, who previously had insisted be wouldn’t consider a managerial job until his playing days were done, recented somewhat and said, “Things look a little different now.” Reese, it was learned, is definitely the man O’MaMey and Dodger vice presidents Buzz Bavasl and Fresco Thompson have decided on to succeed Dressen. ‘'We have always regarded Peewee highly,” said O’Malley, “and he is something of an institution in Brooklyn?’ •Further than that, however, OlMalley would say nothing regarding Dressen’s successor. A Baltimore source said that the hiring of Dressen as field manager would be “pretty much out of the question.” It was pointed out that the Baltimore club will have o pay Rogers Hornsby approximately $20,000, as a holdover of a threeyear contract he signed with th > St. Louis Browns, and also pay IMarty Marion $<30,00 for his contract which runs through 1954. “Dressen turned down a $40,000 contract with Brooklyn,’* said an official of the Orioles. “If Balti more hired him at that sum, it would mean the club would ba paying nearly SIOO,OOO for a manager, and not even Casey Stengel gets that much, no matter what vou read in the papers.” Still trying to make contacts, Dressen, said he did not know how long he would remain here before leaving for his California home. Told that the fans in Brooklyn were almost overwhelmingly on his side in his contract controversy with OlMalley, the weary Dressen sighed: “It’s nice td know they’re on my side. I always tried to give ’em the best I had.” ‘ 6 Polish Action Is Protested By Pope Pope Gives Message To Catholic Clergy VATICAN CITY UP — Pope Pius XII today issued a “mbst sorrowful and firm protest” against actions taken by Poland’s Communist government against the Roman Catholic church.

He said these victims of communism had been entered “in the golden book of the church’s roll of hoior.” He warned that no region in the world is sheltered today from “the disguised or overt propaganda of atheistic communism.” Os Poland, the said: “At 4he present moment, from every corner of the earth there come to us innumerable testimonies of the emotion land indignation of the Catholic iyorld following the violence recently used against a uew member of the sacred college, our most dear sori Stephen Cardinal arenbishop of Gnifezne and of Warsaw', primate of Poland. i “And we take this opportunity to assure him once more qf our paternal affection, and to raise our most sorrowful and most firm protest against this violation of the sacred rights of the Catholic church.” Earlier, the Pope ordered the excommunication of all Polish Catholics involved in the actions taken against the cardinal.

Sam Bucceroni Is Winner By Decision ST. LOUIS UP —Rocky Marciano, heavyweight champion of the world, today expressed his profound respect for Sam Bucceroni, who niay be bis next opponent for the crown. Marciano had a ringside view of Bui;ceroni's victory Jimmy Slade Wednesday night. The champion interrupted his vacation at Hot Springs, Ark., to accept a refereeing assignment for the Charley Riley-Bobby Why fight on the card at the St. Louis Arena. “They’re a r couple of tough “customers,” he said after hatching the close and furious battle. “That Bucceroni is a mighty strong man. Marciano's view was probably shared by the scant crowd of 2,416 attending the fight and the million who saw it on television. Bucceroni had a 12-pound weight advantage qver Slade, technically a light heavy weight, when he came into the ring at 189 to Slade’s 177. But'the Philadelphia heavyweight needed all his ring craft to hold off Slade after missing his 26th knockout by a one second margin in the fourth round. He dropped the New York Negro with a terrific right to the jaw and the fight appeared to be all over as Slade was still rolling on the canvas at the count of five. But the game light-heavyweight grapped the bottom rope to start himself up and reached his feet just as referee Dick Young counted nine. Slade held off the eager Bucceroni the rest of that round and fired his best shots* in the second half of the fight. But the knockdown was the decisive factor as both Young and judge Howard Hess .gave Bucceroni the fight 51-49 and Judge Red Connell saw it 54-46 in the Philadelphia fighter's favor. \ Bob Shotting Named Chicago Cubs' Coach CHICAGO VP —Bob Scheffing, Cub catcher from 1941 until 1950 and coach of the St. Louis Browns during the past two seasons, has been appointed coach of the Chicago Cubs, succeeding Spud Davis.
