And it’s Cor rales, to whom he gave a strong endorsement, who is taking over a pressure job on one of baseball’s most talented teams. Corrales, 40, a former Phillies’ catcher and one-time manager of the Texas Rangers, received a two-year contract estimated at $80,000 per year. At a news conference Wednes day he was questioned about his style as a manager. “I can t manage like Dallas Green, and I can’t manage like Danny Ozark, ” he said. “I have to manage like Pat Corrales, and I think I can do the job. “I think I have toughness of character, rather than physical toughness. I’m not a screamer. Occasionally, I’ll lose my temper and raise my voice, but not very often. If I chew the team out, it will be behind closed doors. It’s family business and I like to keep it private. “This organization is a fine organization and has been since the early 1970s. I think it’s going to be strong for years to come. Anytime you manage, it’s a chal lenge. We have to win as many games as we can and bring a pen nant to Philadelphia.’’ Corrales managed the Rangers in 1979 and 1980 and the team finished third and fourth in the American League West. He was replaced by Don Zimmer and spent the 1981 season as an admi nistrative assistant and special assignment scout. He said he doesn't think he’ll have trouble getting his message across to the players. AUTO«FIRE»LIFE •COMMERCIAL RON ALLEN AGENCY 707 TEXAS AVENUE SUITE 110-A 696-9351 FAST.

We’ll start off with the basics. I’ll demand 100 percent from them on the field.” He said his on-field style was molded from the managers he played under in a 9-year major league career — Gene Mauch, Sparky Anderson, Dave Bristol and Zimmer. He said he liked to run and to play hit-and-run, adding he didn’t think there would be any problems managing in the National League. Corrales said the top priority in the off-season would be to obtain another front-line starting pitcher to go with Steve Carlton and Dick Ruthven. After winning the NL East first- half title, the Phillies were thin on pitching in the second half and eventually lost to the Montreal Expos in the division playoffs. Paul Owens, the Phillies’ vice president for player personnel, was Corrales’ first manager in pro fessional baseball in 1959 at Bakersfield, Calif. He has fol lowed him since then, and says the Phillies’ new manager “exempli fies the things you like most in a manager: strength and character. ” Owens added: “He came up the hard way and battled. We didn’t hire him because I know him, but I’ve stayed in touch with him and watched him develop in the last seven or eight years. I like the way he manages, and I think he’s strong enough to handle the club we have here.” Corrales was the leading candi date for the Phillies’ post all along, but coach Bobby Wine also was a finalist. Wine, the right-hand man to Ozark and Green, was a favorite of the players because of his famil iarity. “We feel good about Pat, but it was a very tough decision,” Owens said. “I’m sure we picked the right guy as I see it now.” Corrales said Wine has been asked to return as a coach. He also announced that bullpen coach Mike Ryan would be back and that a number of candidates were being considered for other coaching jobs.

College 823-8051 United Press International HOUSTON — Houston Oiler head coach Ed Biles is waiting to decide how he will shuffle his quarterbacks for Sunday’s game against the Oakland Raiders. Besides the quarterback prob lems, the Oilers might face trying to even their 4-5 record without halfback Earl Campbell, who was given a 50-50 chance of recovering from a pulled hamstring in time to play. Veteran quarterback John Reaves directed the first-team offense Wednesday and Gifford Nielsen, injured in preseason, put on shoulder pads and threw some passes. Kenny Stabler, who continued treatment for the sprained left wrist he suffered during last week’s 34-21 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, did not attend the prac tice, a team spokesman said. Reaves will start if Stabler is still hurt this weekend, and the Oilers will be forced to bring Nielsen off the injured list if Stab ler is unable to play even in a back up role, Biles said. Team-leading halfback Earl Campbell attended the workout but did not work as he rested his injured leg. The Oilers listed Stabler, Campbell and free safety Mike Reinfeldt, who has bruised ribs, as tha 50-50 participants against J Raiders. All three were injured^ the Bengals game.
