BOSTON - (IP) - Baby-faced Chet Nichols pitched the aroused Boston Braves to a dramatic 4-3 victory over Brooklyn today to slice the Dodgers' first-place National League lead to a half-game ovfer the pressing New York Gia'nts. The Braves, still smarting over what they termed Brooklyn's "rub- bing it in" tactics on Wednesday, pushed over the winning run in the eighth inning on singles by former Dodger-owned Bob Addis and .Sam Jethroe, and an infield grounder by Earl Torgeson. SO HEATEDLY did the Dodgers protest plate umpire Frank Das- coli's decision on the winning run that it resulted in the ejection of * * * ROBINSON, and many of the other Dodgers, engaged in about the most uproarious baseball rhu- barb of the year after Dascoli had ruled Bob Addis had slid home with the run that gave the Boston Braves a 4-3 win. It cut the Dodgers' first place lead over the New York Giants to a Half game. The loss pared Brooklyn's once overpowering 13A game margin ovet the Giants to a mere five percentage points. The Dodgers have won 94 and lost 57 for a .623 percentage. The Giants, who have won the same number, have dropped 58 for a .618 percentage. Washington erased the Boston Red Sox from American League pennant contention today, blasting Chuck Stobbs, Harry Taylor and Willard Nixon for 11 hits and an 8-6 victory. * * THE DEFEAT virtually assured Cleveland of second place, for the only way Boston now could tie for the runner-up spot would be to sweep a five-game series with the league-leading New York Yan- kees while the Indians split their remaining two games with Detroit. Boston had a flicker of hope in *the ninth inning when, trailing by two runs, Johnny Pesky walked with one out. But Ted Williams hit a double-play grounder to Cass Michaels at second base and once again the Red Sox were frustrated in a pennant bid. Bill Veeck's St. Louis Browns, striving for home attendance, drew a meager paid crowd of 560 at Sportsmans Park yesterday as they romped over the Detroit Tigers 7-4 in a loose contest ending De- troit's 1951 appearance here. The winner was rookie Duke Markell, just up from Oklahoma City, who registered his first Ma- jor League triumph. The right- hander started one game earlier and lost. Going all the way, he gave up eight hits - including Johnny Groth's third homer of the season. Senior Circuit Chooses Giles As New Prexy CINCINNATI-(A)-Warren C. Giles will bceome president of the National League Oct. 16 and will establish headquarters in Cincin- nati. That was determined t o d a y when Giles, president and general manager of the Cincinnati Reds, accepted the invitation of other clubs in the circuit to take the post. HE WILL succeed Ford Frick, who last week was elected base- ball commissioner. It was under- stood Giles' salary will be $55,000 a year, although he declined to comment on that subject. The 55-year-old Cincinnati- an's term of office will end Dec. 31, 1955, he said. Gabe Paul yesterday was ap- pointed general manager of the Cincinnati baseball club of the Na- tional League, succeeding Warren Giles. Giles earlier in the day ac- cepted the presidency of the Na-' tional League. Paul immediately announced the retention of Luke Sewell as man ager of the Reds for 1952. j The daily practice chores were somewhat lightened for the Michi- gan grid squad yesterday as the day for the 1951 season opener with Michigan State draws near. Coach Bennie Oosterbaan almost entirely eliminated any heavy con- tact work for his charges in the usual three hour session that was held amidst winds of gale velocity, that chilled the field with a re- minder of the coming winter. THE ONLY scrimmage play throughout the afternoon wasa brief passing drill run off by Oosterbaan's first string backfield of Captain Bill Putich, Frankie Howell, Don Oldham and Tom Witherspoon. Quarterback Putich sharpened his accuracy by hitting both his ends, Lowell erry and Fred Pickard, with mostly short spot passes. Defense was not neglected, how- ever, as scout Don Robinson had the Michigan scrubs run through some of the Spartan plays that he picked up at last week's MSC-Ore- gon State game. The Wolverines were particularly cautioned to take notice of number 47 in the enemy backfield, who, is State's quarter- back. Al Dorow. BOTH PUNTING and conver- sions for points after touchdowns were also concentrated upon de- spite the high winds. Bill Billings did most of the punting as he simulated both the offensive and defensive boot- er. In the latter case he found himself kicking to such Wol- verine safety men as Perry, How- ell and Oldham. Russ Rescorla will be the man called on for the extra point this year and he exhibited some fine place kicking in a rather lengthy session in that department. Billings also took a crack at the uprights and did well, wind storm and all. The session ended with signal calling drills by four separate squads. * * * YESTERDAY'S RESULTS Boston 4, Brooklyn 3 TODAY'S GAMES Brooklyn at Philadelphia Cincinnati at Pittsburgh St. Louis at Chicago Only games scheduled YESTERDAY'S RESULTS St. Louis 7, Detroit 4 Washington 8, Boston 6 TODAY'S GAMES Chicago at St. Louis (2-twi- night) Philadelphia at Washington Boston at New York (2) Only gaikes scheduled -. /11V 1~ - 1 MADE BY Styled in rich, fine-grain to high-light your woolens and tweeds.

'Campanella's eviction was to prove costly to the Dodgers' hopes of gaining a tie in the ninth. With Pee Wee Reese on third and only one out following his double and Jackie Robinson's grounder, Wayne Terwilliger came to bat in Campy's cleanup spot. The latter bounced out without advancing Reese. Ni- chols then squashed the dazed Dodgers' last hopes by fanning Andy Pafko. Six policemen were rushed to guard the locked door of the Braves field umpires' dressing room yesterday after a special po- liceman reported a pounding and kicking Jackie Robinson split two of its panels while venting his Brooklyn Dodger rage on umpire Frank Dascoli.
