Campanella Opposes Further Surgery NEW YORK (INS) — Brooklyn Dodger catcher ?Roy Campanella says he will refuse to undergo-any further operations on his damaged left hand. Campanella, who is scheduled to be examined by a group of specialists on Friday, made it clear Monday that future surgery is out no matter what the doctors recommend. ' "I have made up my mind nobody’s cutting me no more,” the burly catcher declared. Campanella underwent an operation last May for the removal of bone chips. He was unable to regain full use of the hand for the remainder of the season and batted only .297. The catcher’s hand is of major concern to the Brooklyn club. Dodger vice president Buzzy Bavasi said Monday that “until we know just what we can expect from Campanella next year, we won’t know if we’ll need another catcher.” Campanella was examined by his personal physician last week and the catcher said that one nerve seems to be causing all the trouble, and soreness. Rest could eliminate the soreness; he added. “Another operation might damage good nerves and there is no assurance it would help the bad one.” Bavasi. who said the Dodgers weren't interested in selling their stars “for money,” but would be willing to make player-for-player deals, announced the club is bringing up outfielder Bert Hameric from St. Paul and first baseman Norm Larker from Montreal. Floyd Patterson Is Winner Monday Night NEW YORK (INS) — Floyd Patterson, fourth - ranked lightheavyweight contender from New York, won a unanimous eightround decision Monday night over Esau Ferdinand of San Francisro at St. Nicholas arena.

American Loop Meets Today On A’s Franchise CHICAGO (INS) — The American League meets in Chicago today to decide another version of the Philadelphia story - whether to keep the Athletics in their oil home or to transfer the franchise to Kansas City. Actors in the league’s latest drama include owners or representatives of the eight member clubs. But the chief roles are -playedby Arnold Johnson. Chicago reel estate operator, who has offered $3)100,000 on condition that the franchise be transferred to Kansas the family which has controlled the A’s for 53 years. Mack, son of 91-year-old Connie Macke - now retired - wants to keep the club in Philadelphia.' Ijeague officials, topped by President Will Harridge, have declined to predict the- outcome of the meeting-but the felling is strong that the A> franchise will go west of the Mississippi River. Terrific financial losses suffered by the A’s in recent years as reflected by a meager home attendance of 305.362 in 1954 inspires the belief that the club franchise will change ownership and locale. Today’s meeting is a development of a session held, on Sept. 38 in New' York when Roy Mack was given two weeks to raise fun is in his effort to retain ownership of the dub. At that time, Hurrid ge sand: “if Roy is able to prove that he can carry on and pay his debts, there's no intimation that the league wouldn’t let him go along.” Bi t as evidence of the confidence that the Johnson bid will prevail the Kansas City merelmnts association has spearheaded a ticket sale drive which already has for 759,000 tickets worth tome $1,750,000.

meeting. The group includes Ernest Mehl, sports editor of the Kansas City Star, city councilmen Robert Benson and Don Jackson and AJex Lewi, a director of the association. . Two distraction-s in the proposed move of the A’s to Kansas City popped up Monday. Leo De Oreey, business manager for Arthur Godfrey, radio and television star, and Joe Tucci, Washington sportsman, offered to purchase the club. Both denied a report that they had agreed to pay >2,856,M0. ft vbas understood that Godfrey has no interest in purchasing the Athletics. De Orsey, an attorney, said he and Tucci “have been dickering for the Philadelphia ball club,” but he would not disclose the price they were willing to pay. It also was learned that Calvin Griffith, executive director for' the Washington' Senators, will act as a representative for a bo*-Angel«s group which is seeking bo bring the A’s franchise to the Cali'ornia city. This project was -heliov jd doomed to fairare. Seven league owr —s must approve the new buyer of a fr.inchise and six must approve the transfer another site.

Pilot Changes In Junior Loop Unprecedented N'EW YORK (INS) — If changing managers is all it takes, the American League in 1955 will not be the dilapidated, ramshackle, spread-eagled affair that it was in 1954 Nobody has seriously suggested firing Al Lopez, despite his Cleveland Indians’ World Series showing against the New York Giants. And Casey Stengel's runner-up chore with the New York Yankees was enough to gain him a seventh year of employment. But below those two clubs, the new look in managers is virtually unanimous. Consider: Chicago White Sox—Hired Marty Mariori at the tag end of the season when Paul Richards switched his allegiance to Baltimore. Boston Red Sox—Named Pinky Higgins Monday to replace Lou Boudreau. Washington Senators — 'Resurrected Chuck Dressen, firing Bucky Harris. Detroit Tigers — Signed Harris after Fred Hutchinson refused to work on a one-year contract. Baltimore Orioles —moved Richards in'over Jimmy Dykes as combined managar-general manager. That leaves only the Philadelphia Athletics, where Eddie Joost technically remains the incumbent. But the question in Philadelphia, which may be answered today, is not so much whether Joost will be back as whether the Athletics will be back. Whether the A’s stay or go to Kansas City, Joost’s chances of keeping his job probably are no better than 50-50. If Boudreau could get fired for finishing fourth, what job security can an eighth-place manager expect? Five—or will ft be six’—pilot changes in one league is unprecedented in modern baseball' history. The market probably would have been no less active had the Indians won. instead of lost, the World Series. It was a bad league Changes are needed. Rut it is a fallacy to believe that reshuffling the man. *g»rs ,is going to make ft a discernably letter circuit. Leo Durocher. hail d as a genius on the strength of his World Series sweep probably couldn’t have changed the outcome had he been managing the Indians instead of the Nor done any bettg" cuancas are. with the Athletics than Joos’ did. After all Duroehe” — with Willie Mavs and Johnny ArrtetWli the only important absentees—brought the Giants home a staggering fifth in 1953. Was it the manager or

the players that made the difference? In any case, the Red Sox’ promotion of Higgins from their Louisville farm club brings another successful minor league manager into the bigtime. It took four years-for Lopez, after an apprenticeship in the minors, -to win an American League pennant. Richards is still trying. Can Pinky do any better? Warn Duck Hunters To Obtain Stamps Duck hunters are cautioned that, they must have a federal duck hunting stamp before going hunting during the Indiana duck season', October 29-Deremher 2'2, in addition to an Indiana hunting license. The J 2 stamp may be purchased at the Decatur nost office.
