Gianfs Renew Manager Pad With Rigney SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) — It was back to the old drawing x>ard today for Manager Bill Rigney, who received a "life” Thursday in the form of a one year contract to try and make the San Francisco Giants pennant winners. Club President Horace Stoneham, a reputed hard loser, announced that Rigney would be at the helm again next season as the Giants’ pilot for the fifth time. The cherubic Stoneham thus exploded any remaining speculation that Leo Durocher, Charlie Dressen or Lefty O’Doul might get the job. “This-is the first time I ever signed a one-year contract,” Rigney laughed during a press conference. “And I feel a little insecure.” The pact which expired last month called for two seasons. With its demise went the San Francisco hopes of winning a flag after the club had only been out of New York for two years. The Giants led the National League by two,games as late as Sept 17 then folded and finished third behind Los Angeles and Milwaukee. What’s Rigney going to do this time to earn his estimated $30,000 salary? “We need a good, sound relief pitcher,” Bill said. “I want to keep my star hurlers out of the bullpen. And we’re going to have to get a more seasoned bench. The one was a little young.” Dodgers Return To Coliseum For 1960 LOS ANGELES (UPl'—lt looks as if the National League—plus some of baseball’s most rabid critics—will have to put up with the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum as home of the Dodgers for another year. Dodger owner Walter O’Malley said Thursday he would agree to pay the increased rental terms prescribed in the three-year contract which put the ball club in the vast football stadium in the first place. There is no chance to get in the new Chavez Ravine park before fall, and Wrigley Field here pions.

Wynn Hailed For Comeback Os The Year NEW YORK (UPI) —. Early Wynn, a 39-year-old pitched who believes in growing old gracefully, was hailed for making the American League comeback of the year today by the United Press International. Wynn previously was named to the UPl’s American League AllStar team and also was picked as the AL’s pitcher of the year. A 22-game winner for the Chicago White Sox, Wynn beat out Tito Francona of the Cleveland Indians by one vote, 7-6, in the comeback-of-year balloting. Eddie Yost, Hoyt Wilhelm, Gene Woodling, Bobby Shantz, Bill Tuttle and Ted Kluszewski also were mentioned. Appeared On Downgrade Only a year ago. Wynn definitely seemed on the downgrade as a top-notch pitcher. He had compiled a 14-17 record in 1957 and a 14-16 slate in 1958 with earned run averages over four in both seasons. But Wynn’s answer to his critics was a splendid season in which he worked 256 innings, had a 22-10 won-lost record, struck out 179 batters and had a 3.13 earned run average. He pitched five shutouts and 14 complete games. The big year also put Wynn within reach of the exclusive 300victory club. With 271 triumphs, he is the leading winner among active major league pitchers and the first one in years to have a real shot at the 300-mark. Acquired From Indians Wynn was acquired from the Indians Dec. 4, 1957 in a deal that sent Minnie Minoso to ClevelandTlie 6-foot, 200-pound native of Hartford, Ala., broke into the majors with the Washington Senators in 1941. Francona, 25, from Aliquippa, Pa., was a “minute man” for the Indians all year. He played both first base and in the outfield on short call, seeing action in 122 games, batting .363, driving in 79 runs and bitting 20 homers. He hit only .254 in 86 games with the White So* and Detroit Tigers in 1958. Wilhelm. Yost and Woodling got two votes each while Shantz, Tuttle and Kluszewski had one each.

Shea Concerned On Formation Os League NEW YORK (UPI) — William Shea, chairman of the founders group of the Continental League, today was a man with mixed emotions. He was “delighted and encouraged because the New York City Board of Estimate approved an appropriation of $170,000 to draw up plans for the construction of a 15 million dollar stadium, which may serve as the home base for New York’s entry in baseball's proposed third major league. However, Shea also admitted he was concerned over the formation of the American League’s expansion committee, which he feels was set up primarily to harass his group. The New York Irishman wps especially bitter because Gerald Moore, representing the Major League Baseball Committee of Minneapolis, had asked the American League for “consideration” because "fans of Minneapolis and St. Paul . . . wish to have an American League club.” Minneapolis - St. Paul is one of the founding members of the proposed Continental League. “There never was a chance of Washington moving to Minneapolis. and there’s no chance of Minneapolis going into the American League.” Shea said. He then warned that “if the people of Minneapolis continue to act as dupes and be suckered into these things, they could wind up without any in any league.” Heavy Storms Hit At Midwest Areas United Press International Brief, heavy thunderstorms raged through the Midwest Thursday night, killing a young Wisconsin farmer and dropping nearly two inches of rain on some areas. Melvin Young, 32, rural Sun Prairie, Wis., was killed instantly when he was struck by lightning and knocked off his tractor into a eorn stalk chopper he was pulling. Milwaukee reported 176 inches of rain, Kansas City 1.20 inches and Lamoni, lowa, .75 inch, but other cities received light showers. Rain also fell during the night from central Tennessee to the Gulf of Mexico and from northern Florida into Pennsylvania • and central New York, with Glynco, Ga., reporting .37 inch and Vi inch falling at Hatteras, N.C., and Harrisburg, Pa. Scattered showers fell from the Dakotas into Washington and Oregon. Forty m.p.h. winds whipped across Wyoming and Montana, and Grangeville, Idaho, received .20 inch of rain. Rising temperatures throughout the upper Great Lakes and New England raised the mercury 24 degrees in Saginaw, Mich., and Albany, N.YThe U.S. Weather Bureau forecast occasional drizzles today for Florida and the Carolinas into New England, Pennsylvania a d New York. Thundershowers were expected in the middle and upper Mississippi Valley and upper Great Lakes, with rain mixed with snow in the Montana mountains and northern Wyoming and Colorado.

Big College Games On Tap For Weekend By JOHN GRIFFIN United Press International UCLA and Auburn, two strong teams on the rebound, were favored to win big games Friday night to ignite an explosive college football weekend loaded with important conference games. The “weekend” actually got underway Thursday afternoon when the passing of Harvey White sparked bowl-conscfous Clemson to a 27-0 triumph over South Carolina in the last game of a “Big Thursday” series that started back in 1896. On Friday night, UCLA is a two-point favorite over the oncebeaten Air Force Academy at Los Angeles and Auburn is a sevenpoint pick over Miami (Fla.) in a battle of once-beaten teams. In the only other major Friday games, Boston University is favored over Connecticut. Clemson’s Victory Easy Clemson had little trouble in trouncing South Carolina before 47,000 fans at the South Carolina State Fair. The rivalry, always colorful and frequently stormy during its 63-year history, will be resumed next year on a home-and-home basis rather than part of the state fair celebration. White completed nine of 11 passes for Clemson, two for touchdowns, and sub Lowndes Shingler hit on two of six as the Tigers swapped their usual reliance on rushing, for a pass attack because of a muddy field. Bill Mathis scored twice for Clemson, once on a pass from White, and Don Usry slammed one-yard for the other Tiger marker. Clemson, 4-0, in Atlantic Coast Conferenne play, is a red-hot post-sea-son bowl possibility. UCLA Over Air Force UCLA (1-2) is on the upgrade after beating California and thus as the home team is rated a slight choice over the Air Force, which suffered its first loss last week to Oregon in an upset after three wins. Auburn’s long unbeaten streak was scuttled by Tennessee in the season opener but the Plainsmen came all the way back in upsetting Georgia Tech last week. Miami, which will be outweighed in the line, has lost only to national champion Louisiana State. Top-ranked LSU, third - ranked Texas," fourth - ranked Southern California, and fifth-ranked Mississippi are expected to have fairly easy sailing during Saturday’s big gridron show. LSU is a 13point pick over Florida, Texas is 13 over Rice, Southern California is favored by 18 over Stanford, and Mississippi is rated 10 points over Arkansas. Northwestern Over Irish But second-ranked Northwestern is a more modest six-point pick over Notre Dame, despite Notre Dame’s two, earlier losses to Big Ten teams. Seventh-ranked Penn State is only even money as it shoots versatile Richie Lucas against Illinois at Cleveland in a battle between two teams that beat Army by six points each. Tenth-ranked Wisconsin is a seven-point favorite over Ohio State in a game that may go a long, long way toward deciding the Big Ten race. Sixth-ranked Syracuse is a far 21-point pick over West Virginia and ninth-ranked Georgia Tech a 14-point choice over Tulane. Purdue and lowa are even money in the nationally-televised game of the week. In other top games: East— Navy is a three-point pick to wreck Penn’s unbeaten record; Harvard 6 over Dartmouth and Princeton 12 over Cornell in the Ivy LeagueSouth — North Carolina and Wake Forest even and Duke 6 over North Carolina State in the ACC; Georgia 3 over Kentucky in the southeastern. Midwest — Michigan State 7 over Indiana and Minnesota 7 over Michigan in the Big Ten; Missouri 7 over Nebraska and Oklahoma 18 over Kansas in the, Big Eight. , „ Southwest — Texas A&M 6 over Baylor and SMU 14 over Texas Tech in the Southwest. West — California even with Oregon St., Oregon 3 over Washington, Brigham Young 6 over Denver, Army 26 over Colorado State.

Murtaugh To Remain As Pirates Manager PITTSBURGH (UPI) — Danny Murtaugh, who regained respectability for the Pittsburgh Pirates, will manage the team in 1960 although he has hot formally signed a contract. "While there has been no official announcement, Danny will return as manager next year,” said Pirate General Manager Joe L. Brown. “He has not signed but that's only a technicality.” In two full years as manager, Murtaugh guided the team to a first division finish. In 1958 the Pirates finished second—the highest since 1948 when Danny was second baseman for the team which finished fourth. The Pirates finished fourth this past season but Brown was satisfied Murtaugh had turned in a “commendable job.” “There were too many slumps on the club last season,” Murtaugh told the sports editors of three Pittsburgh newspapers at a luncheon meeting Thursday. “But you can’t expect Danny to hit and pitch for the players Although the club suffered losing spells the players never gave up on themselves. They always bounced back—and that’s a tribute to Danny as a morale builder.” From 1949 through 1957 the Pirates never finished higher than sixth. They finished last five times in that period. Four Bonus Rookies Report To Senators WASHINGTON (UPI) — The Washington Senators promoted four bonus rookies today to their training camp roster next spring. The four who will report to Manager Cookie Lavagetto at Orlando, Fla., are pitchers Fred Buckbauer and Bill Topp, infielder Jimmy Hall and outfielder Lamar Jacobs. Bruckbauer is from Sleepy Eye, Minn., and the University of Minnesota, Topp from Western Michigan University, Hall from Belmont, N. C., and Jacobs from Ohio University.

Three Big Ten Games Carded For Saturday CHICAGO (UPU— Five Big Ten football teams battle Saturday for a chance to join Illinois in a crowded tie for second place. Os the five—Purdue, Wisconsin, Ohio State, Michigan State and Indiana—two will -make it, and possibly three, bailing ties. All have 1-1 records in league play and still nurture hopes of a championship. Four of the five are paired off in Saturday’s engagements. Only Purdue meets an “outsider” when it acts as homecoming host to lowa, last year’s champs and Rose Bowl heroes who have lost two and won one in the conference this season. Wildcats Meet Irish Tn the other two games, Ohio State is at Wisconsin and Indiana at Michigan. Illinois, which has beaten Ohio State and Minnesota since a loss to Indiana, steps out of the conference to tackle unbeaten Penn State at Cleveland, Ohio The game was rated a toss-up. Northwestern’s reign as Big Ten leader was in no danger. The Wildcats, also taking a whirl out of the conference, will risk only their unbeaten, untied record and No. 2 national ranking, in a clash with twice-beaten Notre Dame at South Bend, Ind. Despite the contrasting records Northwestern is rated only a one touchdown choice by experts who : apparently figure the Wildcat's i may be “flat” after their surprising list of victories. Injuries Plague Both But Coach Ara Parseghian scoffed at this theory'. “This is one of those traditional rivalries that either team could win,” he said. “But if we lose, it won’t be because we were flat. It will be because Notre Dame . had a better team on that after- . noon.” Parseghian. who has turned up a star quarterback every Saturday since Dick Thornton was lost for the season, said he would start Chip Holcomb at that posi-

tion Saturday. Notre Dame, also plagued with injuries, will have either George Izo or Don White at quarterback, and Bill Mack or George Sefcik at left halfback. Coach Joe Kuharich said he hasn’t made a decision in either case. lowa, the league’s offensive leader, will field its regular starters, but Purdue, seeking a replacement for the injured Bernie
