Terry Moore Named Manager Os Phillies CINCINNATI, O. (INS) — Terry Moore, named to replace Steve O’Neill as manager of the Philadelphia Phillies, said today he has one immediate goal — to win the National League pennant in 1954. Q’Neill was fired as manager of the Phillies Thursday and Mobrd, who served as a scout for Philadelphia for the past two years was thrust into the Job immediately. The Phils lost a double header to Cincinnati Thursday night -and the twin defeat left them in a three-way tie for third place, along with the Redlegs and Milwaukee. Moore, slightly heavier than when he starred as a centertielder for the St. Louis Cardinals, ■aid; ;■ 11 “I certainly hope we can win the pennant despite the fact that we are 15 games out of first place. I am more enthusiastic about my first managerial assignment than my wife. “She has been after me to get ont of the game and she wasn't too enthnsed when 1 called her in Salt Lake City where she has been vacationing and told her." His appointment in Cincinnati by Phillies general manager H. Roy Harney came in mdeh the same surprise manner as did the hiring of O'Neill to succeed Eddie Sawyer in June, 1952. Sawyer had led the famed “Whiz Kid" Philadelphia squad to the pennant in 1950. JyTife announcement of O’Neill's dismissal was the first major change made by Harney since be left the New York Yankee organization to help rebuild the faltering Phils this year. He explained the firing of O'Neill tn this way: “We felt a change was needed and wercertainly like Terry's qualifications.” Moore, who is well acquainted with the Phils because of his scouting assignment, said he has no immediate changes in mind.
