Dodgers Move up To
Half Game from Toil
NEW YORK. June 14 (UP) Dodger President Branch Rickey's
statement supporting his peppory pilot, Leo Durocher, indicated to
day that he either has had a chanco of sentiment or that he define
itely doesn't want to break up a winning combination.
Maybe the fact that the Dodgers are riding o winning wave and
that they are just half game out of first place had something to do
with Rickey's expression of confidence in Durocher at a time when
he is involved in court action for

Career of Heavyweight Challenger Is
Ruined By Atrocity of Nazi Gestapo
BREMEN, June 14 (UP)
Cuslav Thromier, once tho
number one challenger for Max
Schmeling's German heavy
weight championship, Is through
with his boxing career because
he was anti-Nazi.
Thromier, who should be a
100-pounder at the peak of his
career, now weighs a mere 140,
while Schmeling, the Nazi, is
sleek and healthy in Hamburg.
Thromier, who says he still
can throw a pretty good punch,
never will enter a ring again.

Ramters Move Up
On League Lead By
Trimming Beavers
By United Press
Pot Hand's Pacific Coast league
leadership, unchallenged almost
since the start of the campaign,
had been reduced to a slim or.o
half game today by the rampag
ing Seattle club.
The Rainiers took their second
straight from the Beavers by a
4-3 count last night. All the scor
ing was confined to the eighth
inning. Seattle got to Don Pul
ford for two hits and two walks
which, combined with a miscue
by shortstop Johnny O'Neil, ac
counted for the four tallies. The
Beavers rallied in their half of
the frame but Joe Demoran halt
ed the scoring after three run
ners had crossed the plate.
Joyce Beats Oaks
Bob Joyce racked up his 13th
pitching win as San Francisco
downed the Oakland Acorns, 5
to 2. The Seals jumped on Halo
Chelini, their old jinx, for three
runs in the first inning. Ray
Perry of the winners had thrco
for five, including a double.
Vallie Eaves of Sun Diego also
notched his 13th decision in a
relief role when he hit an 11th
inning homer which gave the
Padres a 13-11 triumph over Sac
ramento. Eaves look over the
hurling chores in tho 10th after
the Solons had knotted the count
with a four-run uprising in the
ninth. Morrie Abbott of San
Diego also clouted a limner ear
lier in the game.
Brooks Holder scored from third
on a fielder's choice to give the
Hollywood Stars their second
slraight win over Los Angeles,
2 to 1, in 10 innings. Hon Smith
was the winning pitcher and the
defeat was charged to Red
Adams.
O Coasting Along
By HAL WOOD
United Press Staff Correspondent
OAKLAND, Cal., June 14 (UP)
Dolph Camilli, the maii who
"quit" when he was fired as man
ager of the Oakland Acorns, plans
to head back for at least a short,
final fling in the majors.
Ousted as boss of the Acorns,
a team that has been in the thick
of the league pennant chase since
the stait of the season, the one
time pride of Flatbush, the Na
tional league's "most valuable
player" and tho big gun in lead
ing the Dodgers to a pennant in
1041, thinks he still has a few
good games in his system as a
major leaguer.
"I think I can help at least two
or three of the major league
U'ams as a lust baseman," Dolph
told i 'pollers. "But 1 won't be
playing anv minor league base
ball." The statement that he thinks
he still can play major league
baseball conflicts with Dolph s
ideologies as a manager of the
Oakland entry in the Pacific
Coast league race.
In fact, Camilli's failure to in
sert himself into the Oakland
lineup is believed to have been
the cau.'o of his being fired by
the theater magnates who own
Hie Acorns Brick Laws and Joe
Bhiiuontlial, a pair of old-time
bowmen.
Lamiin was being paid an
estimated $12,000 per year to
manage and play for Ihe'Oaks
bul he had been to tin- plate only
:i tew limes all year. He had two
capable first suckers in Vic Pi
celti and Les Scarsella and with
his aging legs, he didn't feel like
playing (he outtield. He did lake
a turn on the pitching mound
just once.
Now. the question tho Oakland
fans are asking is this: .
"If Camilli thinks he still is
rood enough to play major lea
gue baseball lien why didn't
he gel into the Oakland lineup'.'"
It's a lair question, at that.
