J Dykes Stunned i By Ouster As A’s Manager I I'KBLA'DELPHIA UP — Eddie Jooßt, overcoming his surprise at being named manager of the Philadelphia Athletics, said today that, j every player but pitcher Bobby Shantz is available for trading. , While the A’s shortstop broke l n I his managerial brogans. the man he succeeded, Jimmie iDykes, was Tr considering a front-office invitation to run out his contract next year in an advisory capacity. But tne oi-year-old Dykes, stunned by the announcement of’his ouster as pilot after a thifee year term, said he wanted to talk to Roy Mack, executive vice president of the club, before making any decision. In the offing were reports linking Dykes to the Baltimore Orioles and the vacant manager’s .post at Brooklyn. The bespectacled_Joost. who will, receive an estimated $30,000 as player-manager under a one-y.®a* pact, appears ready to rfethmp urastically the injury-riddled ..’kev-epth-place team he inherited 'from Dykes,. •, Minutes after he iigned up at ‘ COnnie Mack Stadium, after a plane flight from his Burlingame,, Calif., hbme Wednesday, Joost ev#y member of the 1953 ■team - on the trading-block with the exception ox?shkntz. The wee south ception The wee south paw was »’?4-game winner in 1952. i but slumped badly last season because j6r-< pulled shoulder. Joost’s plan thus put such players as homer-hitting Gus Zernial; first baseman Eddie Rbbihson and outfielder Dave IPhilley in the eatl v egory of trading bait. Pitchers \ Harry 'Byrd and Alex Kellner ostensibly were in the same boat. The actual player and possibly coaching changes Joost may have , in mind not dfsclpted.

Andrews Is Winner By Split Decision DETROIT, UP Billy Graham, the veteran New York welterweight, said today he thinks he’s meeting the wrong man next month when he battles Al Andrews, a 23-year-old ex-GI from Superior, Wis. Graham was at ringside here Wednesday night when Andrews pqunded out an unpopular 10-round split decision over Church Davey, the former collegiate champion at Michigan State. “I thought Davey won," Graham said. “I was as surprised as everyone elqe when the decision was announced.’’ There was no knockdowns In 1 the bout and Davey seemingly carried the fight. Fighting like a mad man to • keep from slipping into the role of a "has been," the 29-year-old Davey had Andrews in trouble in the second round and appeared to be enroute to an easy victory as Jate as the sixth round.' Andrews rallied strongly in the Closing round but a poll of ringside observers, other than the three ring • officials, still favored Davey by a ratio of 13 to 1.Both judges had Andrews ahead on points at the finish, which gave him the decision. Bill Appleton voted 52 to 48 for Andrews and Jpe Lenahan favored the Wisconsin kid 51 to 49. ’ ■ 4 Referee Morrie Sherman gave Davey a 51 to 49 edge, but that was little solace for the quick southpaw who earlier this year made a futile bid for Gavilan’s 147-pound title. “I won,” was Davey’s lone dressing room remark. When asked whether he contemplated retirement, Davey merely grinned. I The scene In Andrews’ dressing room was much different Andrews, a> ode-time sparring mate of Davey, smiled despite a heavily blackened right eye. He. too thought he had won, although he considered the fight much closer than his match wit Davey two months ago when he scored a un J animous 10-round decision at Saginaw, Mich. , , ’ If you nave sometning to sell or room* for rent try a Democrs: Want Add.

Gives Option On Acceptance Os Called Balk Nbw YORK, UP —For the first time in history, baseball teams, like foobtall* teams, will be given their choice of either accepting or declining a penalty in 1954. The rules committee of the major and minor leagues, concluding their three-day session Wednesday, gave the team at bat its option of accepting or declining a pitcher’s balk. Under the new rule, if the umpire calls a balk on a pitcher, the ball remains in play and should the batter make out on the particular pitch, he can decide to accept the balk. If he gets a base hit, on the other hand, he can decline the balk. “After many years of yapping about it, we took action on a situation whereby a base hit, perhaps even a home run, is nullified.” explained James Gallagher of the Chicago Cubs, chairman of the rules committee. "If a pitcher commits a balk, he violates the rule. There is no reason why the offensive team should be penalized:” : \ Base runners will advance one base, as in the past, if the offensive team decides to accept the balk. The committee also took measures’ lo curb interference by both players and fans. A rule was put into effect which would prevent inielders from rushing in and touching the ball before it reaches the batter. Sound whacky? Nevertheless, Ferris Fain, hustling White Sox first baseman, was' responsible for the change. y ”F understand Fain either did this or tried to do it and there was nothing to prevent any other player from either,” said Gallagher. The penalty for ■ interference by an infielder will be the same as that for interference by a catcher. The- batter will automatically be awarded first base.

b baserunning, popularized* !rt the by-gone era of Ger-

many Schaeffer to confuse the pitcher, has been revived in the to put a atop to It with a rule statminors and the committee alms ing that a runner shall immediately bo declared out if bo runs a base in reverse or oven takes a lead In reverse. ». , Fan interference, which Gallagher said had been increased by spectators wishing to appear on television, also was covered. Previously, there had been nothing in the rule book to cover spectator interference except on batted balls thrown from the pitching rubber. From now on, however, the umpire will determine how many bases a runner can advance on such thrown balls. In some cases, there will be no advance, Gallacher said. ’
