WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1951 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE SEVEN WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1951 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Giants Win, Brooks Lose as Pennant Race Stiffens I 5-1 Win Over Phillies HelpsGiant's Chances PHILADELPHIA - (A') - The grimly-determined New Y o r k Giants pounded out a 5-1 victory over Robin Roberts and the Phi- ladelphia Phillies last night to close within one game of the first place Brooklyn Dodgers. While the Giants were win- ning, the wobbly Dodgers dropped a twi-night doubleheader to the fourth-placenBoston Braves at Boston, 6-3 and 14-2. THE GIANTS now are closer to the National League leaders than they have been since May 19 when they trailed the Dodgers by two games despite a fifth- place slot in the League stand- ings. The Giants called on their ace starting pitcher, Sal Maglie, when Jim Hearn faltered in the An all-campus tennis tourna- ment will begin Sunday, Sept. 30, with first round matches. Hopefuls are asked to sign up at the Sports Building. -Dave Edwards seventh. Maglie induced pinch hitter Del Ennis to bounce into a double play to end the inning and the Phils' last threat. It was an interesting pitching duel between Hearn and Roberts until Hearn was kayoed in the seventh. S * * THE GIANTS scored single runs in the second, third and fifth to build up a 3-0 edge when the Phils came to bat in the seventh. Willie Jones led off with his 22nd home run of the year, a mighty wallop into the left cen- ter field stands. Hearn got the next batter but Eddie Waitkus and Del Wilber followed with consecutive singles. Manager Eddie Sawyer of the Phillies derricked Roberts in fa- vor of Ennis and Leo Durocher of the Giants countered by replac- ing Hearn with Maglie. THE COUNT went to three and two on Ennis before he tapped to Alvin Dark who started the twin killing that ended the inning. Topor Made Eligible for GridPlayi The Wolverine grid defense has been greatly strengthened with the announcement that first string linebacker Ted Topor will be eli- gible for competition this fall. This decision was reached last night at a meeting of the athletic eligibility board which thoroughly considered Topor's scholastic sta- tus. BOARD chairman, Ira Smith, stated that Topor's record con- forms to Western Conference reg- ulations now that hehas made up a deficiency in an anatomy course that he previously failed. Originally a fullback, but switch- ed to quarterback last season the 212 pound Topor will probably throw his weight around in the defensive backfield where the tough tackler can do the most damage to Michigan's opponents.

Porterfield had a no-hit game for six innings. Johnny Pesky's bounder over Porterfield's head starting the seventh was the first hit off him. After Ted Williams hit into a double-play, Clyde Voll- mer singled sharply to left field.

Washington scored twice off Leo Kiely, rookie left hander, in the second inning. With one out Pete Runnels doubled to left and Mike McCormick walked. Clyde Kluttz's single scored Run- nels. McCormick scored from third when Aaron Robinson dropped third baseman Fred Hatfield's throw to the plate after Hatfield had fielded Port- erfield's grounder. The Senators scored their other run in the sixth inning when Sam Mele tripled and scored on Gil Coan's fly to Vollmer in right field. Pennant Races At a Glance NATIONAL LEAGUE W L Pct.

Dewey Appoints New Boxing 'Chairman as Eagan Resigns Boston Tops Bums Twice To Cut Lead BOSTON-(P)-Brooklyn's here- tofore boastful Dodgers, suddenly seized by panic, collapsed almost entirely last night while dropping a floodlighted doubleheader to the Boston Braves 6-3 and 14-2. Those shocking setbacks enabled the furiously driving New York Giants to whittle down the Dod- gers' first-place lead to a single game with three more to play.

AFTER CLINCHING the opener in tt-e easiest possible fashion, the gleeful Braves pounced on starter Carl Erskine for six runsron three hits and as many errors in the second s ssion of the afterpiece, and that was more than enough to paralyze the Dodgers the rest of the nIght.

ALBANY, N. Y. - (P) -- Gov. Thomas E. Dewey yesterday ap- pointed a new boxing czar for New York State and demanded that the fight game clean house. In one breath, Dewey an- nounced the resignation of for- mer amateur boxer Eddie Eagan and appointed Robert J. Christen- berry, New York City hotel keep- er, as chairman of the State Ath- letic Commission. CHRISTENBERRY, 52, is pres- ident of the Hotel Astor. He for- merly was a sports writer and U. S. consular official. Eagan, also 52, had held the $9,378-a-year post since 1945. In his letter of resignation, Eagan said he was quitting be- cause of the pressure of his private law practice. In appointing Christenberry, Dewey detailed a program to im- prove boxing. By implication, he rapped the International Boxing Club, which virtually has a mono- poly on major ring events. * * * "EVERY AVENUE must be kept open so that free competition ex- ists in every licensed club in the State, with equal opportunity for every boxer," Dewey declared. Points in Dewey's "cleanup pro- gram": 1. Fullest reliance must be placed on the Medical Advisory Board and other scientific agen- cies in order to reduce hazards of the sport. 2. The members and profes- sional staff of the State Athletic Commission and their accumulat- ed experience must be utilized to the fullest. 3. "All the business of profes- sional boxing must be conducted in the open. Whenever major questions affecting the sport arise, they should be determined by full and free discussion.."
