The St. Louis Cardinals have traded n "brat" for a "hat." With the exodus of Eddie "The Brat" Stanky out of the unfriend- ly atmosphere of St. Louis, Aug- ust Busch. the Card's owner. has replaced him with A man who is about as similar to him as a gentle summer breeze is to Hur- ricane Edna.

Even in his playing days Stanky was a study in perpetual emotion, whereas Harry "The Hat" Walker is another one in the long list oi "nice guy" managers, doomed by Lippy Leo Dllrocher to the coal bins of the league cellar. If Leo's premise that "nice guys finish last" is true then there is going to be some crowding to get a nice warm sppt .by.the furnace.

In the National League we have mild-mannered men like Walt Alston. "Jolly Cholly" Grimm and now Walker. and in the American League there are managers such as Marty Marion. Al Lapel and Bucky Harris. who are notorious. in Leo's circles. for their good- will towards the chattels they have lmder them. Certainly. this years at least. this friendly Clubs house atmosphere seems to be paying off. Marion and Lop?! have their teams well tip in the American League race and Als- t0n's Dodgers are presently lum- ing the National League into a rout. O O I

Casey Stengel personifies a dif- ferent strain in managerial types. Casev has been called. from time to time. a master strategist. a "push button" manager. a flenllll. Midas and a number of other titles. most of them unprintnble. He is neither mild nor bellicose. but operates on a norm between both extremes. And this attitude coupled with about twenty llitlll grade ball players has paid off for -hlm to the tune of five world titles in six ,v.eai;s..

Another thing about Case is thnt he manager: for the fun of It. He doesn't need the money he makes in baseball. and while other less fortunate men are won-lng about the loss of their jobs. and in the winter months touring the banquet circuit to keep in spending money.
