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.

Ducks Shutout Hollywood
On Ad Liska't Pitching
By The Associated Press
Portland and Seattle tightened
their holds on third and fourth
places yesterday in victories over
second division challengers from
the southern section of the Coast
league.
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.
The Los Angeles Angels went
131 games out in front, split
ting a doubleheader with San Di
ego, 5-0 and 6-7, as Sacramento
downed San Francisco 3 to 2.

NEW YORK. 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."
