Experts Say Haney Must Win Pennant
NEW YORK Regardless of a routine front office statement that Fred Haney will be retained as Milwaukee Braves manager in 1957 only if he does a good job in 1956 a pennant is needed for next season. A reliable source said another man was under consideration as Grimm’s successor even before Haney joined the Braves as coach. Lou Perini denied contact with Leo Durocher saying he does not fit into their plans. Haney, who took over after Grimm, has a contract for this season with a retention promise if warranted.
