TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1951 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE SEVEN PAGE SEVI 11 I I Giants Nip B raves, 4-3, Trail by 21V2 11 Pennauint RaIces (at 1a(Glnce I Yankees Only 3 Games From 3rd Straigth Flag Stengel's Hitless Wonders Face Athletics Today; Brooks Battle Beantowners Tonight NEW YORK-(AP)-The relent- less New York Giants slashed idle Brooklyn's lead to 2/ games yes- terday with a 4-3 victory over Bos- ton that fired new hope in their long shot pennant chances. Meanwhile, with the entire Am- erican League idle, Casey Stengel's Yankees seemed close to their third straight pennant with only one .300 hitter, Gil MacDougald, and no 100 RBI man on the club. ACTUALLY THE Yanks were nearer to the clinching than Brooklyn, practically conceded the National League flag in mid-sum- mer. The Giants continue to give the Dodgers fits down the stretch while the Yank opposition falters. Eddie Stanky, whose error op- ened the door for a two-run Boston rally in the fourth, struck the winning blow with a ninth- inning single. Tied 3-3 going to the last of the ninth with young Chet Nichols blazing an eight-strikeout game, Don Mueller opened with a single. Manager Leo Durocher sent in Dave Williams to run for Mueller. Billy Rigney, batting for Wes Westrum, moved Williams to sec- ond with an effective sacrifice bunt. Ray Noble popped out as a pinch hitter for the second out. * * * STANKY THEN singled off the glove of third baseman Sibby Sisti, who just moved over from short- stop in the eighth, and Williams scooted home with the winning run. Only 6,059 turned out for the Giants' final home game to see Sheldon Jones duel with the Braves' 20-year-old southpaw in the early innings. Dave Koslo, who came in when the Braves knocked out Jones in the sixth, won his 10th game. It was Ni- chol's ninth loss. Brooklyn still needs any com- bination of four wins or New York defeats to clinch the National Lea-' gue championship. Both the Dod-! gers and Giants finish up on the road. The Dodgers, enjoying an off day before a twi-night double- header in Boston, have seven to play, the Giants only four. After four in Boston, Brooklyn winds up with three in Philadelphia. The Giants play at Philadelphia today and tomorrow and finish at Bos- ton Saturday and Sunday. * * * THE YANKS, needing only three more wins or Cleveland defeats to nail down the flag, rested yester- day for the final six-game dash to the wire. Bob Kusava (11-6), used only in relief since Aug. 9, was nam- ed to face Philadelphia's Bobby Shantz (17-9) in a Stadium bat- tle of lefthanders today. Cleveland, with only three games to play, faces Chicago in a night game at Comiskey Park with Early Wynn (20-12), to face Lefty Billy Pierce (14-14). Boston, five games behind and practically eli- minated, plays a night game at Washington. IF THE YANKS go on to win, this probably will be recognized as Stengel's greatest triumph. For this has been a skillful job of piec- ing together a club that never was "set" all season. Byers Named NCAAChief CHICAGO -(A')- Appointment of Walter Byers, National Col- legiate Athletic Association and Big Ten administrative aide the past four years, to fill the newly- created post of executive director of th eNCAA was announced yes- terday. It was also disclosed that the NCAA's executive office would be moved next spring to Kansas City, as also will be the National Col- legiate Athletic Bureau now oper- ating in New York. * * * ..THE ANNOUNCEMENTS were made jointly by Hugh C. Willett of Southern California, NCAA presi- dent, and Kenneth L. (Tug) Wil- son, NCAA secretary-treasurer. Wilson said Byers' new posi- tion was created by the NCAA's executive committee and ap- proved by the 17-man council at an Aug. 28meeting here. Byers' salary was not disclosed, nor was there any announcement on his possible successor as Big Ten assistant to the commissioner. AL Playoff? CHICAGO - () - Although it doesn't seem the New York Yan- kees will be caught, the American League today arranged a playoff program in the event the Cleveland Indians or Boston Red Sox should squeeze irto a pennant tie. Now trailing by two and a half games with only. three games left, second-place Cleveland did the best in the coin-tossing ceremony in the office of league president Will Harridge. The three top con- tenders % ere represented by writ-. ers from wire services. If Cleveland ties with either New York or Boston in a two- club deadlock, either opponent would have to come to Cleve- land for an Oct. 1 single playoff game. If Boston somehow should erase its five-game lag and tie New York, that playoff would be held at Bos- ton, also Oct. 1.
