New York, July 8 01.R) Shrewd Branch Rickey, consid ered the baseball executive "who never made mistakes," must be wondering tonight if Just once in a lifetime he didn't permit a major slip in judgment when he elected to cast his lot with the Brooklyn Dodgers instead of the St. Louis Browns. Rickey signed a five-year con tract to direct the Dodgers at $80,000 a year in 1942, and for an executive who has lived un der the dollar sign through most of his baseball years, that was a hard one to pass up. Brooklyn greeted him with re serve which has turned recently Into hostility beca.ise of a series of experiment? with the current Dodger outfit that has dropped it to the lowest level in public esteem since Leo Durochei be came manager. Its road trip los ing streak is the second longest In Dodger history, surpassed only by the 14 games in a row dropped in 1037, shortly before the regime of Larry MacPhail. The Dodgers continued their inept ways today for their 12th straight loss, an 8 to 5 trounc ing by Pittsburgh. The Pirates made seven luns in the second Inning, shelling Calvin Coolidge McLish. 18-year-old rookie, off the mound. It was the third straight game in which the op position had made seven or more runs in the first two innings. Ted Wilks, St. Louis Cardin als recruit, shut out the last place Boston Braves, 4 to 0, on six hits, with Ray Sanders furnish ing the necessary offensive punch In the fifth inning by belting a three-run homer. Manager Mel Ott hit his 20th home run to lead the New York Giants to a 6 to 3 victory over the Cubs at Chicago. The Philadelphia Phillies won their second straight over the Reds at Cincinnati, getting three unearned runs in the first three innings for a 3 to 0 margin. In the American league, the Boston Red Sox kept up their furious hitting, getting all their runs in tho first two innings to dawn thesClcveland Indians, 11 to 7. Lou Boudrcau tilt two hom ers and Pat Seerey and Ken Keltncr hit one each for the In dlon sign but the long range shelling wasn't sufficient. Bobby Doerr moved closer to the American league batting leader ship with a homer and single, driving in three runs for the Red Sox. Louis (Bobo) Newsom had one of his brilliant days, holding tho Chicago White Sox to three hits In a 3 to 1 victory at Philadel phia. Hal Newhouser of the Detroit Tigers won his 13th game, lim iting the Yankees to four hits In a 8 to 2 win at New York. OPPONENT SOUGH! FOR COAST CHIP Tromoler Mack Lillard was seeking an opponent Saturday for Paavo Katonen on next Thursday night's armory wrest ling card, and hoping that he could sign Bulldog Jackson of Portland for the match. Jackson, Lillard said, has In dicated that he might be able to come to southern Oregon this week, and added that if the Mullilog did make the trip he would be given the Katonen bout. In rase Jackson isn't here. Lillard said that he would prob ably offer Tony Morclli, the husky Floridan, the chance to face the current Pacific coast light-heavyweight champion. Morclli will definitely be on tho program, the promoter stat ed, as will Jack Lipscomb and Hilly McEuin.
