Stengel Admits His Present Yanks
Are Best Of All His Teams On Read
By FKEl> DOWN
NEW YORK. June U ' <U.R>—
Manager Ca.<« y Stengel won't rate
his current runaway Yankee* as
his best until they clinch the Am-
erican L' :iku.' i^ nnant, but he rat-
es them superior to his four pi*-
vious champions in one respect.
"It's the best toad team," Sten-
gel says. "It's geared to vein on the
road as well as at home. The other
teams didn' win on the road as
consistently.
"But," Stengel continued with a
twinkle in his eye, "We'll have to
wait until October before we rate
them better than the four champ-
ions.' '
A Trick Upset
Rival managers long have con-
sidered that the trick to beating
the Yankees wag beating them at
Yankee Stadium, but the current
crew has upset the dope in specta-
cular style. Its road record is 25
to H for a blistering .806 percen-
tage compared to 19-7 for .731 pace

"Our hitters do better on the
road,' 'Stengel explains. "Fellows
like Mickey Mantle and Gene
Woodling don't pull too close to the
foul line. They hit a lotta long
drives that are caught at Yankee
Stadium but which are homers in
other parks."
Manager Bucky Harris of the
Senators, who managed the Yank-
ees in 1947 and 1948, agrees with
Stengel.
"When the season started I fig-
ured the Yankees as a terrific home
club and a fair road club," Harris
says. "But now they're winning at
a faster pace on the road than at
home. You can't beat 'em when
they do that."
Stengel, who still refuses to ad-
mit the Yankees are "in," has some
reservations about his team.
Look to Pitching
"You have to think of pitching
when you ask if this team is bet-
ter than the other four," he says.
"Well, I'm not so sure this team's
pitching is as good. We'll just have
to wait and see."
That's the reasoning behind Sten-
gel's use of Allie Reynolds, his best
pitcher, in the bullpen. He fears
that his veteran pitchers will tire
late in the campaign and he wants
to build as huge a lead as possible.
Specifically, Stengel admits pri-
vately he is worried about 34-year-
old Vic Raschi, who has compiled
a modest 4-3 record so far this
season.
The Dodgers blew a 13% game
lead in early August only two
years ago and Stengel constantly
reminds the players of that fact.
Casey knows deep down that he's
got the unprecedented fifth pen-
nant just about won but he won't
admit it to anybody. Perhaps not
even to himself.
A new material for shoe uppers,
developed by industrial research in
the laoratiries of a mid-west rub-
ber company, is said to be water
resistant to an extent that makes
rubbers almost unnecessary.

Bv MILTON RICHMAX
NEW YORK, Juno 20 <U.R>— Ro-
bin Roberts, Billy Pierce, Allie
Reynolds and several other pitch-
ing aces unanimously agreed Sat-
urday that it is "no disgrace" to
be sent down to work in the bull-
pen.
Roberts, Pierce and Reynolds are
only three of the top-notchers who
willingly did stints in the bull-pen
recently despite that fact that all
are considered regular and winning
starters.
Other "big name" starters who
have worked in the bullpen during
the past few weeks are Gerry Sta-
ley of the Cardinals, Bob Lemon
of the Indians,. Virgil Trucks of
the White Sox and Bob Porterfield
of the Senators.
No reluctance
"I doft't have the slightest reluc-
tance about going to the bullpen
any time I can help the ball club,"
says Roberta .who took his first
relief turne of the season for the
Phillies against Milwaukee last
Tuesday.
There is a tendency among fans
to regard the bullpen as "baseball's
Siberia" but Roberts doesn't look
at it that way.
"'Maybe the fans don't think
there is much glory connected with
the bullpen,' 'said the Phillie star,
"but they'd be surprised how many
gamee are won and lost right there.
As a matter of fact,, I feel some
time spent in the bullpen would
help any pitcher, even if he was a
regular starter."
Like Roberts, Pierce, the White
Sox ace, took his first relief turn
of the season against Washington
last Tuesday and was rewarded
with his eighth victory.
"I enjoyed the experience," de-
clared the Chicago southpaw. "It
doesn't matter to me whether I
start ball games or relieve in them,
so long as f get to pitfh."
Helped Reynolds
Reynolds, who came off a three-
and-a-half week stay in the bull-
pen to win again as a starter last
Wednesday, says it was the best
thing that happened to him this
year.
"Did I look on my bullpen as-
signment as a demotion?" Rey-
nolds said, repeating a question put
to him. "Not on your life! If any-

As the official sales figures keep rolling in, they keep telling
the same positive story: Again in 1953, for the twelfth
straight production year, truck buyers show a clear-cut and
decisive preference for Chevrolet trucks.
If you're a truck user, this fact is mighty important to you.
Why? Well, as you know, trucks are built and bought for
