Leo Durocher May Return To Major Leagues PITTSBURGH (UPI)—Leo Durocher is closer to returning to baseball today than he has been since he left the New York Giants four years ago. The United Press International has lemed that an American League club, quite possibly the Chicago White Sox, has dangled the type offer that could bring “Leo the Lip’’ back to the game —a high salary as manager and substantial stock in the club. K Durocher confirmed he is seriously considering the offer, which would make him a combination field and general manager. Durocher Was startled when UPI put the question of his return to baseball to him, but he did not evade. “If the terms are right, there’s a strong possibility I’ll come back,” he replied. “I’ve had several offers since I’ve left the Giants but I wouldn’t consider any of them unless certain conditions were met. The offer I’m thinking over now comes the closest of any to satisfying me.” Durocher tried to sidestep further questions but finally conceded under the UPl’s cross-exami-nation: / “I’m very happy with what I'm doing now. But this proposition is almost too good to turn down. We’ll see how it turns out. Could be I’ll be back.” Durcher, who’ll be 54 years old on July 27, left as manager of the New York Giants just before the end of the 1955 season. He said then he never would return to baseball but modified his stand later to say he would if an offer that involved stock ownership in a club were included with an offer to manage. < - UPI has learned, however, that White Sox big-wigs Bill Veeck and Hank Greenberg think Durocher is just what the White Sox need. Veeck tried unsuccessfully two years ago to talk Leo into managing the Cleveland Indians. Often called “baseball’s bad boy,’-’ Durocher rose to playing stardom as a shortstop with the Gashouse Gang St. Louis Cardinals of 1934 and subsequently managed the Brooklyn Dodgers and the Giants. He led the Dodgers to a pennant in 1941 and piloted the Giants to flags in 1951 and 1954. Durocher resigned in late 1955 and embarked on a radio and TV career that appears to have occupied all his ambitions—until now.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, .DECATUR, INDIANA

Don Drysdale Opposes Wynn For All-Stars PITTSBURGH (UPI) — The fa--1 vored National League sends 221 year-old Don Drysdale against the American League’s 39-year-old starter, Early Wynn, today in what may be the last All-Star game as the current baseball gen- ' eration remembers it. Some of the glamour already has been rubbed off today's classic by the fact the two leagues will, for the first time in history, play a second All-Star game during the same season on Aug. 3 at Los Angeles. Nevertheless, a capacity crowd of 34,000 is expected to jam Forbes Field today to witness the latest renewal of an annual midsummer event begun way back in 1933. Drysdale, the ha r d-throwing right-handed ace of the Los Angeles Dodgers who has won nine games and lost six so far this season, was manager Fred Honey’s choice to face a preponderantly right-handed hitting American League line-up for the first three innings. Burdette to Follow “After that," said Haney, managing in his second All-Star game “1 lean toward Lew Burdette.” And after Burdette, of Haney’s own Milwaukee club, it’s almost a cinch that little Elroy Face of the Pirates will finish up. Face is the National League’s No. 1 relief pitcher with a glittering 12-0 record and Haney undoubtedly wishes to give local fans a chance to see their home-town pride in All-Star competition. In choosing the crafty Wynn of the White Sox. to start, Casey Stengel appeared to veer away from* his original intention of opening up with Baltimore knucklebailer Hoyt Wilhelm, who won his first nine games this season, then lost his next four. Wilhelm suffered his latest loss Sunday and Stengel wan’t sure the veteran right hander would be rested sufficiently to start. Stengel, with a record of three victories and five defeats in eight previous All-Star games, did not say who would follow Wynn but did make clear that Ryne Duren of his own Yankee staff “will be in there,” most likely for the last three innings. Casey to Use Lefties Left-handers Whitey Ford of the Yankees or Billy Pierce of the White Sox appear the best bets to pitch the middle innings Jor the American Leaguers, who are 13 to 10 underdogs in the game although 4i»ey have won 15 of the 25 All-Star contests. The American League has won the last fivo games by one run. They won the 1958 game at StLouis, 6-5, and last year’s contest at Baltimore, 4-3. Most baseball men feel the American League’s best chance today lies in home run threats Harmon Killebrew of Washington and Rocky Colavito of Cleveland, both of whom are in the starting lineup. Big drawback for the American Leaguers, however, is that they have only one left-handed hitter in their starting line-up. That’s second baseman Nellie Fox of the White Sox, whose specialty is singles. Die other American League starters are leftfeilder Minnie Minoso of Cleveland, centerfielder Al Kaline of Detroit, first baseman BiU Skowron of the Yankees, catcher Gus Triandos of Baltimore, and shortstop Luis Aparicio of Chicago. The National League has two left-handed hitters in its starting lineup — third baseman Eddie Mathews, who has hit 25 home runs so far for Milwaukee, and left-fielder Wally Moon, batting .299 with Los Angeles. Johnny Temple of Cincinnati will start at second base, Orlando Cepeda of San Francisco at first base, Ernie Banks ot Chicago at shortstop, Willie Mays of San cisco in center field. Hank Aaron of Milwaukee in right field and Del Crandall of Milwaukee behind the plate. Klenks Out Os Town Friday Night, Sunday Klenks of Decautr will play two Federation league games this week, both out of town. Friday night at 8 o’clock, Klenks will meet AFL-CIO at Dwenger perk in Fort Wayne, and Sunday afternoon, Klenks will meet the league leading Colonial Oilers at 2 o’clock at State School in Fort Wayne. Next home game for Klenks will be against the Tri-City Dgers at 8 p.m. Thursday, July 16, at Worthman field.
