3 J Midland da am RirtHT NEW YORK, July 29 W First reaction here to the Dod gers' announcement that the Phillies had a new manager was that It supported the rumors rampant in Philadelphia that Branch Rickey really is the guy behind the Phils . . . After let ting the idea stew a while, we figure it just the other way . . . We can't see a man with as much baseball wisdom as Rickey fir ing a good manager for no other apparent reason than that he in cietari nn rinine the managing himself and keeping the owner in his place.

Trailing 5-1 at the halfway mark, the Rainiers fought back gamely to edge out Oakland 6-5 for their second straight win of the current series. Seattle clinched the game in the eighth when Lloyd Christopher doub led, Dick Gyselnian singled, Ga brielson walked and Christopher came home on an outfield fly. Seattle's Ed Carnett, in his second appearance since recover ing from an injury, cracked out two doubles and two singles in four times up. At Portland, Ad Liska kept five Hollywood hits well scat tered and registered a 2-0 shut- out. The Beavers were able to collect but five blows off two star pitchers, but they bunched them neatly in the first and third innings.

July 29 (P) Babe Ruth came back to Yankee stadium yesterday afternoon. gave the familiar cry of hi-ya Keed," and proceeded to become a baseball manager. But after little more than six innings he was a tired ex-athlete . looking for an aspirin. . Ruth managed the combined New York Yankee-Cleveland In dian squad that lost an 11 to 5 decision to the North Carolina Pre-Flight Cloudbusters Jn a con test that helped contribute an estimated $35,000 to baseball's war donations. Before the game Ruth actual ly was nervous and interrupted his locker room visit with Ted Williams, once on the Boston Red Sox but now of the Cloudbusters, by pacing upand down and mak ing numerous checks to see that his famous No. 3 uniform was available. " But with Tommy Byrne's first pitch he was as cool as a dime ice cream cone. : He kept that composure until the sixth when he trundled up to the plate as a pinch-hitter for Pitcher Roy Poat and worked Johnny Sain, former. Boston Braves hurler, for a walk after lashing a vicious foul into the stands. Shaking his head vigorously in opposition to the suggestion that he use a pinch runner, he puffed to second for Oris Hock- ett's single. There he saw the wisdom of the suggestion and motioned Tuck Stainback from the bench to carry the tally home. The uprising netted four scores and sent the Yanklands into a temporary 5 to 4 advantage that lasted only until the first half of the seventh when the Flyers landed on Jim Turner for six hits and seven runs. It was during this debacle that he waddled down the dug out steps, murmuring "it's time for a shower. Another day, an other game and all I got out of this is a headache."

Now, the resemblance be tween the Brooklyn rebellion of a couple of weeks ago and the Phils' uprising in St. Louis last night was only about the same as that between a hot-dog and a sirloin steak. They're just dis tantly related. The Dodgers howled over something their manager, Leo the Lip, had done.

And they also listened as Dr. John Harmon of Boston univers ity gave tacit approval to' the army's ban . of- intercollegiate sports for its trainee stationed on the country's campuses. "After helping prepare 59 and 71-hour school programs for the trainees," said Dr. Harmon, "I find I have less fight in an ef fort to have ' the soldiers play football."

Faced with a walk out of prac tically all his able-bodied hired hands, Cox apologized to Harris before the entire club. He told Bucky the dismissal "is not in tended to reflect in any way on your ability as a baseball man ager" which left you wonder ing Just what Bucky was fired for, then. Anyway, his apology apparent ing season, Indicated that the army of nimrods could expect a little ammunition none to throw away, but enough to have some sport. Today, however, some authori ties in the war production board (WPB) showed an inclination to qualify that in this way: Hunters probably will get "limited quantities" of ammuni tion but not for sport purposes, purely. They must sternly repress any pleasure and remember they are out to prevent crop damage from too-plentiful numbers of game.

State High School : Athletic Association Welcomes Portland PORTLAND, July 29 (ffl The Oregon State High School Athletic association welcomed Portland's high schools back to its fold today.

The standings in both leagues generally got a tossing around. The Pittsburgh Pirates climbed into second place by knocking oft the New York Giants 8-3 as Truett Sewell chalked up his 16th win. The Bums were club bed twice by Chicago, 8-7 and 4-2. The Boston-Cincinnati night game was postponed. After a fourrun first Inning, it was easy for Cleveland to whip the New York Yankees 6-2. Then the Tribe and Yanks com bined under Ruth's managing to Farmers and ranchers get am munition at present for "post control,", and just plain hunters probably will be allowed to shoot for somewhat the same reason. Although huge quantities of hunting-size ammunition is be ing manufactured, it is absorbed by the army air force and other branches of the military for training gunners. The WPB is working out a plan so that ammunition can be released for areas where crop damage is impending or existing. A "definite statement" will bo mode within a week, WPB men promised.
