This marks the fifth time since 1900 that a National league ciuu has Jumped from a fifth-place fin !w tv,p nrpviniie vear to Dlav in the World Series. Boston s "miracle Braves" of 1914 were nrsi to m the big leap. They were followed by the Chicago Cubs of 1918, the Brooklyn Dodgers of 1920 and the c. t a rrd nf 1934. Thus, the present Giants are the first team in 20 years to vaun iivc imii-uca. JUMPED CLEAR But wait, that isn't all. The Phil lies of 1915 Jumped clear from, sixth place to the throne room, and Bill Terry's Giants of 1033 n-lipsed even that. They had fin ished the '32 campaign mired in a tie with the Cards for sixth anrt seventh place, each with a 12-82 record. It is of at least incidental in terest that three of the six clubs named the Braves of '14. the Gi ants of '33 and the Cardinals of 34 had enough wind left to go on and whale the American League s representative in the play-off. That would appear to give Durocher s team at least a 50-50 chance in the impending brawl. One has to wonder If any one oi the six clubs which sprang to the top from the second division in ,k .,.)mi, 51 seasons could have looked quite as demoralized as the Giants did a year ago .. . In the last analysis, the research can only give us a greater ap preciation of Willie Mays and what the amazing boy from Alabama has meant to his team. Athletics Headed For Kansas City PHILADELPHIA (P) The cur rent owners of the Philadelphia Athletics called a series of closed door "let's make up our minds" meetings today amid reports the ball club will be sold wiimn; matter of hours. Almost everyone but the princi- pals involved seemed ready to concede the A-s would be sold to Arnold Johnson of Chicago and the franchise moved to Kansas City, now an American Assn. City.. The his- nuestion appeared ' to be when?" The Chicago Tribune reported last night it had learned from high authority the A's would be sold to Johnson within 24 hours. Johnson declined to comment on that time element but said his previous offer to buy the ball club still stood. Roy and Earle Mack, who own the controlling stock interest in the A s along with their father, Connie Mack Sr.. gave Indirect credence to the general belief something was afoot bv scheduling jl series of meetings today. The whole deal showed every sign of still being in the talking stage but reaching the limit of that phase. A major league rule forbids the transfer of a franchise except between Oct. 1 and Dec. 1. That gives any interested parties slight ly over two months to wind things up. The Associated Press was told authoritatively last night that sale of the Athletics couldn't possibly be completed in a matter of hours. In the first place. Johnson report edly has made only a verbal offer for the clue a reported $4,500,000 including Connie Mack Stadium. 52.500,000 without the park. Noth ing has been put in writing yet. The American League would have to approve the sale and any transfer of the franchise to another city. Those little details would require more than a few hours.

Big Ten Blasted By Bell CHICAGO tn Big Ten college football officials Wednesday brushed off a blast of criticism by Bert Bell, commissioner of the National Football League, and said they're not out to make war with the -pros. Bell in Philadclnhfa Tuesday criticized Big. Ten athletic officials and others as "isolationists and selfish men" intent on severing years of' harmonious relations be tween college and professional football.' . , He singled out Kenneth (Tug) Wilson,' Big . 10- athletic commis sioner: Ted Payscur, Northwest ern University', athletic ! director; Fritz Crisler, Michigan athletic di rector, and Tom Hamilton,.-head of Pittsburgh athletics. Upon hearing - Bell's charges, Wilson said in a statement: , NO GRIEVANCE "We have no grievance with the pros and no desire to make an issue with the pros." "We are trying to build college athletics for its own identity, and I have previously told Mr. Bell I was willing to talk over the mat ter." Bell who said he asked Wilson to make the Big Ten stand public but .received uo-a n s w e r. was aroused by a letter from Wilson and a report he received on a con fprpnee meetine at Purdue Univer- slty June 13-14. The delegates dis cussed ways and means of sharply differentiating between college anu pro sports. Bell said Wilson and his col leagues recommended that col leges bar pro scouts and officials from press boxes; refuse to hire coaches froin'the pro ranks until one year after their pro affiliation had expired; -refuse to mention professionals on' college radio and TV- ;progrflins;,. bar radio and TV commentators who broadcast pro games from broadcasting college contests; ban college coaches from coaching in all-star games against pros;' prevent college registrars from giving eligibility information to pros; do away with the senior Bowl game, and refuse to loan college football films to pros. NOT FACTUAL Wilson said the "bill of particu lars" listed by Bell was "not fac tual." "They're not kidding us, Bell said. "We know that the real rea son for their sudden attack on pro football is our elaborate 'nation wide television program. They're sore because we televise on Sat urday nights." i Both Fayseqr and Crisler took calm view of the attack. h Payseur said "there's no war with the pros as far as I m con cerned.

DREWS Manstore WHY' IRISH EYES ARE SMILING Giants1 Infield Given Edge NEW YORK Wi If you take the word of the New York Giants from President Stoneham right down to the batboy, this is the best team ever to use the Polo Grounds as its home. "They're definitely better than Bill Terry's teams of the '30s," said the moon-faced Giant presi dent Wednesday while waiting for his National League champions to take the field against- the fallen Brooklyn Dodgers. "They can hit and pltcb better. I know we had standouts like Carl Hubbell and others in those days, but this 1954 team has more pitching depth. They're all good, not Just a few top Individuals. The ciud to ma has been tcrrilic all year, i leu mat ngnt irom our training camp in Phoenix. "It was pressed time after time but never showed a sign of quit ting. Even when the Dodgers beat us three in a row, they couldn't catch us." After letting his enthusiasm sub side somewhat for a day. Manager Leo Durocher became thoughtful. "I don't know yet who will pitch against the Indians and in what order. I'm going to talk It over with the players first. Also. I'd like to rest some of the regulars but with the second place not yet decided it might not be right. They may have to go all the way today. "The two key men in our win ning the pennant were Willie Mays and Johnny Antonelli. I said in. the spring we'd be rough if they came through. I never said we would win the pennant, but I knew we were better than third. "I started to think we could win It when the boys wouldn't give up. They always kept bouncing back."

"I think Bert's getting pretty excited about nothing," Crisler said at Ann Arbor. "We're not de claring war on professional foot ball. We are trying to separate all that is extraneous from col lege football. If trying to promote our own game is Isolationist, I presume we are guilty." HUNTERS! DEER TAGS - BAGS THE GUN STORE Special Reg. 24.95 Stengel Signs New Pact NEW YORK Wl Casey Stengel signed a 2-year contract Wednes day to manage the New York Yankees through 1958. Stengel, who is 64 years old, has managed the Yankees for six years. In his first five years the Yankees won the American League pennant and then took the World Series. New York finished second this year to the Cleveland Indians. Terms of the contract were not disclosed. Under the 2-year con tract' which expires 'Jan. 1, 1955, Stengel was reported receiving $75,000, plus a pension deal ana a $10,000 gift each year bringing the total to around $95,000 per season The grizzled veteran, who made baseball history when he became the first manager to win five straight pennants and World Se ries, grinned when President Dan Topping made the announcement at a press conference at Yankee Stadium. "Well, I guess you'll be having me around for a couple of more years," said Stengel. "I think we'll have some fun and, I hope, win couple." "We think Casey has done truly outstanding job and at no time did we consider a .change. said Topping in a statement re leased at the time of the announce ment. "wnen Stengel was first ap pointed the Yanks had a big re building job to do and Casey seemed to be the logical choice to lead the way. "To say that he was successful is putting it mildly.' Only five men are left from the club Stengel In hcrited. Now several of our long lime stars appear to be nearing the end. "Though the rebuilding job this winter may not be as comprehen sive as the one in 1949, we would be looking for Just such a man as Case, whom we are lucky enough to have in our organization. "Casey did the Job once and and now we are In a better position than when we started our great streak of live straight." Heavy summer rains delayed farm work in Canada.
