PAGE EIGHT THE HELENA INDEPENDENT, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 26,1943 Leo Durocher Rehired as Dodgers' Rickey Tells Newsmen All Is Well Mugwump Status of The Lip Is Finally Broken By WHITNEY MARTIN New York, Oct. Branch Rickey today dispelled the fog obscuring Leo Durocher's future with the Brooklyn baseball club by announcing abruptly that the peppery pilot again would manage the Dodgers In 1944. The contract is for one year, and is to manage only. The terms not disclosed, but Durocher said, "It is the best contract I've ever had since I've been in baseball." Rickey himself, in response to a suggestion that the document, which replaces a player-manager contract Durocher had this year, called for a substantial salary warned that he advise anyone to "go out on a limb on that." The announcement, made at a press conference, terminated Durocher's status of the past month. Rickey released him from the player-manager contract late in the season with the explanation that he wanted to be tree to negotiate with Durocher as a free agent.

Since then rumors, mostly to the effect that Durocher was through as a Dodger, were heard frequently, and the impiession was left that Durocher was riding the fence, waiting patiently for Rickey to rush htm one way or another. Rickey said Durocher had not approached him concerning 1944 contract, and that he himself had not considered anyone else, although he later admitted he had talked at length to Bill Terry, whom he said he greatly admires, and Terry might have gained the impression he would be considered for the job if Durocher was not rchired. Rickey also said the gambling situation in the club which had been the big problem faced in the hiring of Durocher for 1943 did not enter the picture this year, as ho felt that Durocher did a thorough job of cleaning up that situation himself. Asked if he felt that Durocher could regain the control and con fidcnce of the players, which appeared to be slipping from his grasp following the Bobo Newsom incident last summer, Rickey said he was "terribly hopeful he and added that he had talked to all the players except one personally. He also gave approval to Du- vochcr'8 guest appearances on radio programs, saying that as long as such activities did no come ahead of the ball club, bo even favored them as a publicity medium.

"Transportation facilities are heavily burdened this year and the number of railway cars and airplanes available for handling Christmas mail is far below thai of former years," Wine said "Be-j cause a large number of tho personnel, who worked as temporary employes in past years, have gone to war, the extra holiday mail this year must be done by women and high school youths who cannot work long hours or at the high speed of experienced personnel." "The only way, therefore, in deliveries ol Christmas mails can be made on time Is by spreading the mailings over a longer period so that available transportation equipment and postal personnel can be used during more weeks," he added.

Gifts should be marked, "Do Not Open Until Christmas." Special efforts should also be made to extend the use of postal delivery zone numbers on all mail addressed to cities having that system, because the numbers expedite mail distribution, Wine said. ever, all sections previously plowed will not be entirely neglected and will be cleared of snow strategic network roads are cleared.
