TCU and Aritnnana kick off eon-

months book wanted no port of

Becky Harris of the New York
Yankees and Burt (Barney) Shel

managed teams before and they
sold they hod hod enough.
However, the picture changed
when both President Lorry Mac-
Phail of the Yonks and Branch
Rickey of the Dodgers earlier this
year found themselves with teams
and no one to manage thorn.
MacPhail hired Harris loot sea
son “to see what was wrong with
