Rack Cron, vacation, to find
the Bra-’t have <Mv*»t*d
iMiuseives of
toe manager
ial services of
Bobby Bragan
and under the
new leadership
of Billy Hitch
cock are buzz
ing with first
divtston talk.
Also that a
friend of long
standlna and
one of the moat capable of
major league managera, Char
ley Dreaaen, hag died, flll-ln
Bob Swift has been stricken
and the Detroit Tigers are now
under another interim manager.
Additionally, that the Airlines
Mechanics Union has shattered
the Johnson guidelines for wage
Increases, thus leaving the door
ajar for further large Increases
by other groups.
But the planes are flyingagain
and that’s the most Important
thing to a lot of people and a lot
of cities, among them Atlanta,
Miami, New York and practi
cally all others that do any ex
porting and importing.
Bobby Bragan’s dismissal was
expected, even by him, thus no
body was startled when the
personable Coach Hitchcock a
woke one morning as the new
Medicine Man of the Tribe.
Bragan may stay on in the or
ganization. Bobby is a pretty
good guy. Good copy, always,
for the press. And far from
being the worst manager a
round. It seemed he got con
fused-up, or obsessed, with the
notion that pitchers should be
jerked in a hurry — often prov
ing too soon — and that plnch
hitters and pinch-fielders
should be hustled in a little
too numerously.
In short, this penchant or
“strategy” for making changes
backfired and not only the play
ers themselves but the fans as
well became disillusioned and
the team went from bad to
worse.
Had Bragan reposed a little
more confidence In his hurling
corps and assured certain of
them, experienced and rookie
pitchers alike, that they had a
job and a starting role and ex
ercised more faith In them, he
and the team would have fared
better. Same way with the in
fielders and outfielders. It got
so nobody know when of If he
were going to play or what
position. And his chances of
being yanked before the game
was half over were too good.
The Braves were not that bad.
Cloninger, LeMaster and John
son were not that bad. Young
Dick Kelly and Pat Jarvis de
served better handling. So,
under Hitchcock, who has confi
dence In his players, Menke,
Woodward, Bolling, Torre,
Jones, Carty and Mathews won’t
be kept in a dl:her about where
they will p.ay toidght or to
morrow nlgt c.
There haa been a noticeable
settling down under Hitchcock,
who seems to know what he
wants and who has that quality
of Inspiring confidence In his
athletes. Billy has been around
a good many years, managed
Baltimore three years, and has
been a coach and scout for some
semesters.
The writer first knew Hitch
cock as the star halfback for
Auburn, following In the foot
steps of his brother, Jimmy,
who was also an Auburn half
back. That was when Jack Mea
gher coached the Plainsmen. I
covered the Auburn-VlUanova
Bacardi Bowl game in Havana
in 1935 when Billy starred in a
7-7 tie game.
Havana was a great spot, so
was all Cuba, in those days of
Fuleenciu Batista’s reign. Even
