Manager Casey Stengel, the only de Gaulle figure in baseball, might move his team up a notch if Choo-Choo Coleman provides power behind the plate and Los Angeles rejects Tim Harkness and Larry Burright invigorate the infield.

In Portland the regulars never really left; for six months they published a joint, typo-marred...

As partners, he took in some prestigious names: W. Eric Phillips, head of the Duplate Canada subsidiary of Pittsburgh Plate Glass; John Angus McDougald. chairman of Avco of Canada; and M. Wallace McCutcheon. then chair man of National Life Assurance of Canada.* "Taylor is the idea man." explains Phillips, "but if he didn't have us as a balance wheel, he would go broke...
