Baseball man Lane explains dismissals of managers

.
. ....

MIAMI, Fla. (R)-It's inflexibili-
ty-not inability-that costs ma-
jor league baseball managers their
jobs, says Fran Lane, a man who
once took part in the simultane-
ous firing of two field bosses.
Lane said the manager's role is
overrated anyway.
"A manager gets too much
credit when he wins and too much
hell when he loses," Lane said.
"Anyway you look at it, a lot
of money'is involved and attend-
ance falls off when a team's not
winning," Lane said. "A major
league manager knows he's hired
to be fired some day."
"The No. 1 reason why man-
agers are fired is their failure to
adjust to a changing situation or
to adjust their style of play to the
material they have," Lane said
in an interview published in yes-
terday's Miami News.
Lane was in Miami on business
in his current role as special as-
sistant to personnel director Har-
ry Dalton of the Baltimore Ori-

oles, a club whch recently dropped
Hank Bauer.
Gene Mauch of Philadelphia,
Houston's Gray Hatton and Ed-
die Stanky of the Chicago White
Sox are other managers recently
unemployed.
"Stanky lost sight of the kind
of team he can win with-pitching,
defense and speed," Lane said.
"With Stanky's kind of team he
led the American League most of
last season and lost out in the last
series of the season. During the
off-season he traded away speed

for older, slower fellows with po-
tentially stronger bats. He broke
up the kind of team he could win
with."
As for Bauer, Lane said the fir-
ing was another example of fail-
ure to adjust.
"When a manager begins losing
with a formerly good hitting team
that has a batting slump, he can't
just sit back, continue to employ
the same tactics of attack and ex-
cuse himself by using that cliche,
'you can't hit for 'em.' He should
adjust to the situation. He should
bunt, hit-and-run and try for one
run more."
As general manager of the
White Sox, Cleveland, St. Louis
Cardinals and Kansas City, Lane
hired and fired his share of man-,
agers.
He was involved in the only in-
stance of two managers being
hired and fired simultaneously-
when as Cleveland general man-
ager in 1959 he swapped Joe Gor-
don to Detroit for Jimmy Dykes.
Lane says certain managers are

ready-made for certain teams and
cited Gordon at Kansas City.
"Gordon did a bad job for me
in 1959 at Cleveland," Lane said.
"We should have won the pen-
nant. Then I inherited him at
Kansas City in 1961 and we fin-
ished a bad last, but he did a fine
job as manager."
"We had, fringe major league
ballplayers and he got the maxi-
mum out of them by keeping them
loose and not fearful they might
be shipped out to the minors the
next day. Bauer would do a good
job with a young expansion club
from which nothing Js expected
and I think he'll wind up with
one."
He referred to Leo Durocher as
a manager he said is successful
with good teams that are expected
to win.
"They say Durocher is a good
manager of a good team but a
bad manager of a bad team,"
Lane said. "But who can manage
a bad team?"

Lions open camp following settlement

4'

BLOOMFIELD, HILLS, Mich.,
)P -hWith most veterans in
camp, the Detroit Lions opened
preseason workouts yesterday at
Cranbrook School north of De-
troit.
Coach Joe Schmidt put the
squad through a light, one hour
workout in 93-degree heat.
Schmidt said "it won't be long
before the other veterans will be
in camp. They got caught on
short notice because of this pen-"
sion thing."
National Football League own-
ers and the players association,
headed by Lions' guard John
Gordy, agreed to a $3 million in-
crease in pension benefits over
the next two years in a New
York meeting Sunday.
Gordy was one of some 15
veterans who failed to arrive in
time for Monday's workout.
"John called Joe and told him
he would be late in arriving be-
cause he had to sign papers and
wind up details of the negotia-
tions in New York," a club
spokesman said. "He should be
in camp Tuesday."
The spokesman said four of
the 15 absentees arrived during
the workout and most of the rest
were expected in camp by night-
fall.
Veteran fullback Amos Marsh
and offensive tackle Roger
Shoals are expected tomorrow be-
cause of long motor trips from
the West Coast.

Yanks give Colavito new home

BALTIMORE W--Rocky Cola-
Vito, a Bronx boy who found fame
in Cleveland and Detroit, finally
became a New York Yankee yes-
terday in his 18th year of profes-
sional baseball.
The Yankees signed Colavito as
a free agent after he had been cut
loose by the Los Angeles Dodgers
who bought him from the Chica-
go White Sox last March.
In all, Rocky played with four

different American League teams
and in the National before his
latest step.
To get a Yankee contract, the
34-year-old slugger volunteered
to help out the Yankees' bullpen
as a part time relief pitcher as
well as an outfielder and pinch-
hitter.;
He was hitting only .204 when
the Dodgers cut him loose last
week. However, he has hit 369

Iilaria overall winner in '68
'Pt. Huron-Mackinac sail race

home runs in the majors, three of
them this season.
The Rock, a handsome dark-
haired athlete who is known for
exaggerated muscle - stretching
antics before he steps into the
batter's box, now lives in Temple,
Pa. His family still lives in New
York.
Among the high spots of his
career was the feat of hitting four
homers in one game for Cleveland,
June 10, 1959. He also hit four for
Detroit in a 1961 doubleheader. In
1959 he tied Harmon Killebrew
for the American League homer
title with 42 and in 1965 he fed
the league with 108 RBI for
Cleveland.
The Yanks also made another
player change, sending pitcher Al
Downing to their Binghamton
N.Y. farm club of the Eastern
League on option.
They indicated he would be
back in a week or two after get-
ting a chance to do some pitching
in the minors.
Downing, 14-10, last year but
D-1 this season, has been handi-
capped by arm trouble, now ap-
parently cured

MACKINAC ISLAND, Mich. OP)
-The Class A yawl Hilaria, ownedj
and sailed by Hugh Schaddelle of
the Detroit Yacht Club, was de-
clared the over-all winner yester-
day, of the 44th annual Port
Huron-to-Mackinac Yacht Race.
The big white yawl won with a
corrected time of 29 hours, 40
minutes, 29 seconds. Hilaria's
elapsed time for the 205-nautical
mile course was 32:38:53.
Winners, both over-all and in
classes, are determined by cor-
rected times, which are computed
using a complex handicapping
formula.
The over-all finish also gave
Hilaria top honors in Class A,
made up of the largest boats in
the race. The NY32 sloop Sap-
phire, owned by Harry Neesley of
the Detroit Yacht Club, was sec-
ond in Class A with a corrected
time of 29:59:39. The ,12-meter
sloop Norsaga took third in the
class with a time of 30:03:14.
Norsaga, the first boat across
the finish line Sunday night had

because of the St. Lawrence Sea-
