Charlie Grimm Out As Braves Manager NEW YORK (UP) — Milwaukee Braves’ officials have formally paved the way to let out Charlie Grimm as manager, and Coach . Fred Haney probably will be named his successor for the remainder of the season, it was learned today. Plans to dismiss the 57j*ear-old Grimm became apparent at Ebbets Field Friday night when owner Lou Perini, asked point-blank about the Milwaukee manager’s future, failed to give him a vote of confidence. Perinf, who flew into New York for the express purpose of discussing Grimm’s status w-ith executive vice president Joseph F. Cairnes and geaeral manager John Quinn, was asked by newsmen whether he was prepared to say that Grimm would continue managing the club. • . • “I am prepared to say nothing.” perini said, dodging all further questions on the subject Haney, who managed the Pittsburgh Pirates last season, will be more or less a pro-tern manager and according to a reliable source, the Braves will make every effort to sign ex-Giant pilot Leo Dur ocher as manager for 1957. Grimm, asked about the meeting between Perini, Cairnes and Quinn first said he knew "nothing” about plans to replace him. Then he paused, shrugged his shoulders and said. "That’s baseball.” It was further learned that two avenues may be open to Grimm when he is relieved as manager of the Braves. He may be offered a position in the Milwaukee front office or Wid Mathews’ job as per-sonnel-director of the Chicago Cubs. Last November, the United Press reported exclusively that Grimm would be released as manager of the Braves by June 15 if the club failed to show substantial improvement. Tabbed to ran one-two with the Brooklyn Dodgers in pre-season consensus, the Braves currently are in fifth place in the National League only three games over the .500 mark.

Schoendienst Aids Giants Beat Redlegs By FRED DOWN (United Frees Sports Writer) One swing of Red Schoendlenst’s bat had the New York Giants humming “Oh. what a beautiful morning” today and Frank Lane wailing “Those St. Louis Blues.” Obtained from the Cardinals in Thursday’s eight-player deal, the 33-year-old Schoendienst made a spectacular debut with the Giants Friday night when he walloped a pinch-hit, two-run homer in the seventh inning that produced a 3-3 deadlock. A crowd of 11,384 that turned out at the Polo Grounds to see the "new Giants” roared in appreciation and went home happy when the Giants pulled out an 11-inning. 4-3 triumph over the Cincinnati Redlegs. The Giants’ Joy over the immediate dividend paid by the trade was heightened when Whitey Lockman and Alvin Dark, the twx> key players they traded away, committed a total of three errors as the Pittsburgh Pirates retained first place with a 12-1 romp over the Cardinals. Lockman, playing first base, committed two errors and Dark was charged with one. The Giant victory, achieved when Johnny Klippstein walked pinch-hitter Jim Mangan with the bases filled in the 11th, came at Just the right time—it snapped a three-game losing streak in the opener of a long home stand. The loss was the fourth straight for the Redlegs and dropped them into third place behind the Brooklyn Dodgers, who beat the Milwaukee Braves, 5-4, on Al Walker’s ninth-inning single off Lou Sleater. Carl Furillo had four hits, including a homer, and Rocky Nelson also homered for the Dodgers, who won their fifth straight and ninth ini 11 games. konnie Kline hurled a sevenhitter for the Pirates behind a 13hit attack that included three hits by Frank Thomas and two each by Bill Virdon, Roberto Clemente and Hank Foiles. x Vito Valentinetti beat Philadelphia for the fourth time as the Chicago Cubs scored an 8-5 triumph after losing the opener of a twi-night double-header, 6-5, in 10 innings. Pete Whisenant’s three-run homer was the big blow for the Cubs after Ted Kazanaki's but single drove home the winning run for the Phillies in the first game. The New York Yankees dumped the Cleveland Indians into third place in the American League when they scored a 6-2 triumph with -the aid of Mickey Mantle’s 23rd homer of the year and Johnny Kucks’ three-hitter. Mantle, who hit his homer off Mike Garcia in the first inning, is now five games ahead of Babe Ruth’s 1927 record pace. Billy Pierce tied Tom Brewer for the American League lead with nine victories when he pitched the Chicago White Sox to a ’-2 triumph over the Washington Senators. The White Sox made only five hits off Bob Wiesler but the wild lefty walked eight batters. Sherm Lollar homered for the White Sox. ißay Boone hit a two-run homer in the sixth and a three-run homer in the eighth to present the Detroit Tigers with a 5-2 verdict over the Boston Red Sox. Billy Hoeft won his eighth game of the year while Bob Porterfield suffered his sixth defeat. Hal Smith singled home the winning run in the ninth inning as the Baltimore Orioles shaded the Kansas City Athletics, 1-0 in the other game. Relief pitcher Don Ferrarese picked up the win—his first since his near no-hitter against the Yankees on May 12.
