Dodgers,
Giants
Playoff
By JACK HAND
BROOKLYN, Oct. 1 — (A*» — The
New York Giants “miracle men” of
’51 and the dead game Brooklyn
Dodgers charge into hand-to-hand
combat for the National League pen
nant today in the opener of a best
of-three playoff series.
The tie resulted yesterday under
the most dramatic circumstances
when Jackie Robinson's 14th inning
homer gave the Dodgers a 9-8 edge
over the Phillies after the Giants
had subdued Boston, 3-2, behind
Larry Jansen.
All even at the end of the regular
154-game schedule, the Giants and
Dodgers collide at Ebbets Field at
10:30 a.m., PST. The series con
tinues Tuesday at the Polo Grounds.
If a third game is necessary, it also
will be played at the Polo Grounds
Wednesday.
Barring rain, the World Series
with the New York Yankees will
start Thursday at Yankee Stadium.
Yanks to Work Out
While the Dodgers and Giants
continued their struggle, the Ameri
can League champion Yankees
scheduled daily workouts to keep ill
fighting trim. Manager Casey Sten
gel already has named Allie Rey
nolds, his double no-hit ace, to
pitch the series opener.
This was the second playoff in
the storied history of the National
League, now celebrating its diamond
jubilee. In 1946, St. Louis and
Brooklyn fought to a dead heat and
the Cards polished off the Dodgers
two straight.
Brooklyn still sung with talk of
Robinson’s deeds at Shibe Park.
How he saved the game with that
diving catch of a low liner with
the bases full in the 12th. How he
drove a Robin Roberts pitch deep
into the upper tier in left field in
the 14th. How the Dodgers over
came a 6-1 Phil lead, finally tied
the score in the eighth and won
a game they absolutely had to win.
Homer Smashed
Two were out in the 14th and it
looked as if the Sunday curfew
might halt the game without a deci
sion when Robinson smashed his
homer.
When Robinson hit his homer,
the Giants were riding back home
from Boston, not knowing whether
they were pennant winners or tied.
They got the final score by tele
phone near Providence, R.I. Natur
ally they were disappointed at the
many chances the Phils blew in the
extra innings.
As soon as he heard the result,
Durocher said, “Boys, tomorrow we
go back to work. There was nothing
we could have done about it.”
In other National League games
yesterday, the St. Louis Cardinals
closed out the season by splitting
a doubleheader with the Chicago
Cubs, i losing the opener, 7-6, but
winning the second game, 3-0.
Ralph Kiner blasted a grand slam
homer in the 11th inning to give
Pittsburgh an 8-4 victory over Cin

Coast Offering
Big Doings in
Football Doings
SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 1——
Football offers a bar^-up far west
ern college program, next week-end,
exceeding even last week’s bell
ringing slate.
Championship aspirations will
ride on the outcome of the coast
conference clash between the South
ern California Trojans and the
Washington Huskies at Seattle, Sat
urday. From a league standpoint,
it is the most important engage
ment of the day.
The Trojans won their conference
opener from Washington State and
divided a pair with service elevens
last Saturday. Their varsity beat
San Diego Navy 41-7 and the re
serves lost to tha Camp Pendleton
Marines, 27-17.
Washington will be making its
initial bid in the title race. It took
the measure of Minnesota 25-20 last
week in Minneapolis.
The intersectional calendar fore
casts red-hot action. Washington
State touches off the week’s cross
country rivalry in a contest with
reportedly tough Oklahoma A. and
M,. It will be a Friday night affair
at Spokane. W.S.C. chalked up a
good win over Santa Clara, 34-20
last Saturday.
California’s unbeaten, unscored
upon Bears, return from a trium
phant 35-0 visit to Pennsylvania’s
stronghold for a home town Berkeley
joust with the Minnesota Gophers.
It’s set for Saturday.
University of California at Los
Angeles, whipped on its road trip
by Illinois, 27-13, figures to break
into the win column finally as host
to independent Santa Clara. In its
opener two weeks ago, U.C.L.A.
dropped a 21-14 decision to Texas
A. and M.
Oregon’s improving team turned
back Arizona, 39-21 last week but
will faceup to much stronger oppo
sition when it comes to Stockton
to meet College of Pacific, Saturday
night.
Stanford, yet to live up to its
gridiron potentialities, journeys to
Ann Arbor for a meeting with
Michigan. In winning from San Jose
State, 26-13, Stanford played an in
and out game.
Michigan’s 25-0 loss to Michigan
State last week bolstered Indian
hopes considerably.

Pro Football
Round Up
NEW YORK. Oct. 1-MV-If it
had happened in mid-November, the
sports world would be a-buzzlng for
days, if not. weeks about it. But
this greatest of baseball pennant
j races has made the defeat- of the
Cleveland Browns — pro football’s
neatest team — an almost obsolete
\ item.
But lose the Browns did, and to
a team which last season won only
three games — the San Francisco
49ers.
Guided by the deft Frankie Albert,
the 49ers yesterday upset the mighty
Browns 24 to 10, before 52,219 fans
in San Francisco.
It was by far the biggest develop
ment of the day as eight National
Fcotball I.eague teams opened their
chedujes.
In other openers — and they all
ran true to form — Detroit walloped
Washington. 35 to 17; Philadelphia
edged the Chicago Cardinals, 17 to
14, and the Chicago Bears whipped
their perennial enemy, Green Bay,
31 to 20. ■

HUNDRED F IFTY lll'N i'ERS

Over 150 hunters were out on
Mendenhall flats this noon to fire
opening shots in the 1951 duck
season. Dan Ralston, chief enforce
ment officer for the Fish and Wild
life Service reported that in the
first hour of shooting, many hunt

No violators were arrested but
