Howard To Yanks:
I Want To Manage
IT
.. y &

and coach Ellie Howard look at
Joe O’Day
Ellie Howard was always a
most aggressive hitter. Now the
ex-catcher is finally showing
the aggressiveness to become
the first Black manager in
baseball.
Attending the funeral of the
Yankee Stadium yesterday,
where Mayor Lindsay delived a
short eulogy while presenting
home plate to Mrs. Clare Ruth
and first base to Mrs. Eleanor
Gehrig, Ellie said: “I’m ready
but are they?”
It was a two-pronged
question aimed at Detroit,
where the Tigers are seeking a
replacement for Billy Martin
and, more immediately, at the
Yankees’ triumvirate of George
Steinbrenner 3d, Gabe Paul
and Lee MacPhail, which is still
in a state of shock following
manager. Ralph Houk’s
unexplained resignation the
final day of the season.
Howard is on record as
seeking the job in Detroit, but
now, with the departure of
Houk, a pilot’s berth is open
right in Ellie’s backyard.
‘IT’S A FACT’
“I still can’t believe it (the
resignation),” Ellie said,
“Ralph told me and Dick
Howser before the game when
we went into his office for the
pre-game meeting. I said,
you’ve got to be kidding. But
he said, ‘No, it’s a fact.’
“1 told Lanier about it when
Hal got a hit late in the game
and he was on first base.
Believe me, he was stunned. It
was the same in the clubhouse
after the game when Ralph
told the team and he broke up
a bit while doing it.
“The players felt the same
way, too, as they went into his
office for their last good byes.
I felt the same way. After all
I’ve been with Ralph a long
time, both as player and
coach.”

ripped up pitcher’s mound at
Yankee Stadium. Easy-going
Concerning the Yankees’
job, Ellie added: “I’d take it
tonight. I’ve told Gabe Paul
and Lee MacPhail that I’m *
available, I also told Mini
Campbell (the Tigers’ general
manager) that I’m available for
that job the last time we were
in Detroit.
“But if we (the Yankees)
could get together, I’d be over
here tomorrow to close the
deal. But are they ready?
WOULD BUILD TO
CHALLENGE
“Yes, I’m finally ready ... I
think 1 learned a lot while
coaching under Ralph a few
years over which you could get
a chance to prove yourself and
build up to the challenge.”
Asked if there might be
some feeling among the players
on a Black manager, Howard
continued: “There might be
some awareness, but not on my
part, 1 don’t care what a
player’s color is . . . Black,
white or purple. It’s a player’s
job to produce and hustle, I
like winning.
Admitting that he had had
an offer to manage in the bigs,
Ellie added: “I was with the
Red Sox then and Bill Veeck
tried to purchase the
Washington Club. I was to be
his manager and he said if he
ever got another club in
baseball I’d still be his
manager. But Bob Short
bought the club and that was
the end of it.

Ellie put himself in
competition for Ralph Houk’s
vacated manager’s berth.
“I came back to the Yankees
and was offered a manager’s
job in the system, but at what
level I don’t remember. We
never got around to discussing
it... I became a coach.
“Now I feel I’m ready and
didn’t Mr. Steinbrenner have a
Black coach when he owned
the Cleveland Pipers in the
American Basketball League?
He certainly did (it was John
McClendon) and they have
Black coaches in basketball
(Bill Russell, K.C. Jones, Al
Attles and Ray Scott).
“I’m ready, but are they?
The phone number in New
Jersey is Teaneck . . . heck,
they know it.”
Paul and MacPhail stood
nearby with Mayor Lindsay,
but neither would admit there
was any immediacy in filling
the vacancy created by Houk’s
resignation.
“During the World Series
we’ll find out who’s available,”
MacPhail said, “but only as far
as players are concerned.
That’s the time you put some
trades in motion. At any rate,
we’ll have a manager by the
time of the winter meetings.”
Asked what manner of man
the Yankees were seeking,
MacPhail joked: A winner.
Seriously, there is no pattern.
The new manager could come
from within or outside the
organization. Everybody will
be considered.” Ellie Howard is
ready.
Black Leaders Discuss
Home Rule With Top
RNC Officials
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Key
Black Republican supporters of
home rule for the District of
Columbia met October 1 with
Republican National
Committee Chairman George
Bush and Arthur A. Fletcher,
Consultant to the Chairman for
Minority Affairs to discuss
ways to increase the support of
House Republicans for passage
of legislation which would give
D.C. residents the right of
self-government.
Meeting with Bush and
Fletcher were Melvin M.
Burton Jr., a Washington
attorney who is Vice Chairman
of the D.C. Republican
Committee; Samuel Jackson an
attorney and former Assistant
Secretary of the Department of
Housing and Urban
Development and a
representative of the Capital
City Republican Club and Vice
which takes fair account of the
needs and interests of both the
federal government and the
citizens of the District of
Columbia.
According to Fletcher, “The
fact that Black Republicans
have taken a key leadership
role in this effort to secure
President of Dialogue Systems
Inc. of Washington and New
York.

meetings between D.C. Black
Republican leaders and
Republican House members,
Bush pledged the RNC’s
support for passage of a home
rule bill consistent with the
1972 Republican Party
Platform which stated: “We
support voting representation
for the District of Columbia in
the United States Congress and
will work for a system of
self-government for the city
passage of home rule for
District residents is reflective
of their pledge to become more
active in the Party. One of the
goals of the meeting with RNC
officials and proposed meetings
between Black Republicans
and Republicans in the House
of Representatives is to “clear
up some of the gray areas” and
bring to the surface for
discussion some of the
differences of opinion on
proposed legislation, according
to Fletcher. He noted that the
role of the Republican
National Committee is that of
a broker.
Floor debate on home rule
in the House of Represent
atives has been scheduled for
October 9 and concentrated
efforts are being made by
Black leaders to meet with as
many Republican members as
possible before that time.
