CAMBRIDGE. Mass. (AP( — When Gene Kinasewich, Ed-

EcIdie Lopai Fired

KANSAS CITY Athletics have. again proven one of baseball's mdard theories correct. — If you're losing and you want w win, get a new manager. They pulled a switch and won five in I I‘OW-

season when Hank Bauer. another cit-Yankee. ste ped down. Last season the club had a 73-89 mark. Under Lopat this season ghey were 1745.

The case may bethat Lopat wasn‘t too concerned about winning ball games this year. Some managers, many of whom have reminded us _of tonal. will try and build for the ears ahead when they find themselves hopelesst floundering in the depths of the pennant race.

The onner Yankee ace was using players that probably wouldn’t even be listed on rosters‘ of most of the er major league clubs because he thought they could win for Kansas- City In the co 1 years.

Lapat wasn't surprised he was fired. It happens to good baseball men all the time. “It's standard procedure as far as has managers are concerned.” he said. “It's easier to change the assuage: than to change five ou‘ 10 ball players."

THE NEW A's manager. Mel McGaha .who had been a coach with the club for a year. found the winning method in five of his firet_stx games at the helm of the Athletics

After dropping the first. the five wins in a row marked the first Jfifirlrie the A's have won more than three in a row since last y.

McCain told reporters he planned “nothing drastic" for the club. His only concern was that he would place the 1: best men available on the field. That's where Islander Vern Hand- - rahan enters the picture.

it apparently didn't rate Handrahan among the top he club because only five days after the manager- ial change the Island’s right hander was on his way to the minors—Not that the demotion is the end of the world for Vern. some more experience in Triple A ball. after his stint in the majors. might do him a world of good and give him more con-

hdence.

Although Vern ls with a Baltimore farm club. Rochester, his contract has been retained by the Athletics. With Roches- ter he’ll get what he needs most—pitching. The International league club. out of the first division. will probably make full use of Handraban’s talents.

The Prince County softball league is virtually an sirforce circuit with only a smattering of local boys the rosters (though most of them are head- liners.) It seems rather strange that so few Summerside ath- letes play softball in this league. Now commercial circuit is different. A lot 0 good local athletes are taking up the game and they should be apt pupils.
