Hot Reports Circulate At Big Show

NEW YORK, Oct. 1 (U. P)— Three very hot reports circulated today on the major league baseball grapevine—the Indians are about to dispose of ‘Lou Boudreau as manager, the Tigers are about to pick him up as shortstop, and the Pirates are about to hire Bill Meyer Yo replace Billy Herman. There they are for what they are worth. Whether they come to pass lis something that only Bill Veeck. Walter Briggs, and Frank McKinney know about now, but within a few days the rest of the waitihg baseball public should know—for sure. Veeck, president of the Cleveland Indians, definitely is displeased with his player-manager, Shortstop (Boudreau, and the difference of opinion stems * not from Lou's ihandling of the ball club or over his actions as a player, but from the fact that he steadfastly refuses to sign a contract for only one seaon Veeck is convinced that the blackhaired likeable infleld star is a good manager and a great fielder, But he doesn't want him on a long range basis and when Boudreau reportedly

Ready and Willing

Meyer's position as manager of

the key farm club in the New York Yankee organization at-Kansas City seemed to be set—in other words he is welcome there as long as he wants to stay. . But at the same time, his old boss, H. Roy Hamey, now general manager under McKinney, the president of the Pittsburgh club, has indicated, he is anxious to get Meyer there as a replacement for Herman. “I'm ready, willing, and able,” ever said. “But of course, I have-/ |n't had any direct offers. So I don't know whether’ anybody wants me.

{But it is nice to think about.”

There were two other reports which were pretty generally spiked: like soda pop at a football game. The first-was that Leo Durocher,! apparently available as a big league manager, would succeed Boudreau at Cleveland, the second that he would take over for Herman at Pittsburgh. Responsible sources in both cities said they had never heard anything quite so absurd.
