Birdie Tebbetis ls Given New 3-year Contract

CINCINNATI (AP) C 'George !Blrdlei Tebbelts Thursday was signed to a new three-year con- tract as manager of Cincinnati Redlegs of the National League.

General manager Gabe Paul said Tebbetts was given an in- crease in pay. but no figures were disclosed.

Tebbetts became manager of the Redlegs Sept. 29. 1953. The club finished third in the National Lea- gue last season. barely nosed out by Brooklyn. which won the pen- nant. and Milwaukee. which fin- ished second.

Tebbetts' old contract would have expired It the end of the I957 eeuon.
