Yanks Take Gold Giants Get Glory
New York—(U.P.)—The Yankees took the gold and left the glory for the Giants.
Champions of the baseball world for the third consecutive year and for the 14th time since 1920, the Yankees had the respect admiration which their many skills and great record demand.
It would be unfair to take anything away from Stengel and his Yankees in their hour of victory. They won and they were the better team. But the real turning point came last Sunday when rain poured down on the Polo grounds and washed out both the game and the great tactical advantage manager Do Drocher's team had gained in the first three games.
And, when baseball men look back on the 1951 series they will say the Giants really lost their chance to win it on a day they didn't play.
But the real, moving story of both the 1951 season and the 1951 World Series will always be the Giants—the miracle team that had everything except ability.
That was the day the Giants would have been sending 23-game winner Sal Maglie against rookie Tom Morgan. A victory by Maglie over the rookie would have given the Giants a 3-1 edge and virtual lock-up on the world title.
But it did rain and Stengel was able to come back the next day with an ace of his own—Allie Reynolds, Maglie, who might have had just enough to beat Morgan, wasn't good enough to best Reynolds and the series was even when the Yankees won.
For it was in that fourth game that the Yankees took charge for the first time. They looked different—refreshed, aware of the fact that they had been granted a reprieve and confident that they would take advantage of it.
That was the game in which Joe Dimaggio came out of his "oh-for-11-coma" and started to hit. That was the big game of the 1951 world series.
Once even, the Yankees went to work like purposeful young businessmen about to complete a transaction. They smeared the Giants, 13-1, the next day to take a 3-2 edge and they must have expected that Wednesday's game would be a mere coup de grace.
If they did, they did not know these Giants, who had careened down the National League stretch run with 37 victories in 44 games to gain a tie with the Dodgers, 5-4, in the final game of the three-game playoff series when Bobby Thomson hit a three-run homer in the ninth inning.
Even the Yankees admitted that Vic Raschi "had nothing" yesterday but the Giants seemed deep in a coma such as the one they were in when they lost 11 consecutive games at the beginning of the season.
They could not crack through Raschi, except in the fifth inning when they scored one run, and the Yankees appeared to have the game won easily when Hank Bauer's sixth-inning triple with the bases filled put them in front, 4 to 1.
But the Giants forced Raschi out there with two consecutive singles open the seventh inning and Johnny Sain came in to retired Eddie Stanky, Alvin Dark and Whitely Lockman in order. They filled the bases with two out in the eighth imming but Sain had enough to slip a third strike past pinchhitter Ray Noble.
It was in the ninth that the Yankees won their world championship. Also that the Giants, the greatest comeback team of all time, staged their last magnificent fufile rally.

Pittsburgh—(U.P.)—Ezzard Charles today blamed his new "power swing" for the many punches he missed before stopping Rex Layne at Forbes field last night in the first fight of his campaign to recapture the heavyweight crown.

Layne TKO'd By Charles
"But I'm very happy that my new swing has definitely made me a puncher," said the Cincinnati Negro who floored Layne two and won on a technical knockout over the Utah youngster at 2:32 of the 11th round before a sprinkling of 6,257 half-frozen fans.
Layne was bleeding from gashes under his left eye, in his mouth and in his nose when Referee Buck McTiernan stopped the baut in the 11th round just after Rex staggered to his feet at the count of nine after being floored by a right to the chin.
That was Layne's second knockdown of the scrap. In the 10th round a left hook to the jaw dropped him, and he went on his way it rang to end the 10th session, just as McTiernan had reached the count of nine.
Ezzard revealed that he had been seeking punching power in a new "full swing" with the shoulders since he lost the heavyweight title to Jersey Joe Walcott in the same Pittsburgh ring on a knockout last July 18.
Charles and his "new swing" had staggered Layne in the sixth, seventh and eight rounds. In addition, Ezzard wrestled Rex to the canvas in the seventh session, and fell to his own knees almost on top of Rex.
Patrolmen Handle Variety Of Duties
The duties of the police at the University vary from taking care of mad cats escaped from the small animal hospital to directing traffic, Joseph G. Skillman, the new chief of campus police, said today.
"I would like to ask for cooperation of the students and faculty in the enforcement of our traffic rules and regulations." Mr. Skillman said. "The speed limit of 20 miles per hour, all stop signs and parking regulations will be rigidly enforced."
Mr. Skillman was promoted to the position of chief, by C. G. Bayles, superintendent of buildings and grounds. Earl Steck and Otis Nutting were promoted to rank of campus patrolman. Willard Anderson, a senior officer, was put in charge of all officers on night duty. These promotions became effective Sept. 1.
What this corner knows about Utah's football team you can stick in your ear and still not miss any conversation. But we do know one or two of the players on the Redskin squad.
Both are tackles, and if their personal caliber of play is any indication of overall team class, the visitors are going to be rough.
Furthermore, there's a sheet of statistics put out by the National Collegiate Athletic Bureau regularly. On that sheet a Utah lad's name-On Duiblisksk pops up regularly.
Drake's Johnny Bright leads the nation in total offense, with 988 yards in 155 carries. Down in ninth place is Dublinski. He has 514 yards in 122 plays.
You slip down to yards gained passing, and again you find Dublin-ski prominently displayed. This time he's in fourth position. He's hitting 50 per cent of his passes and has gained 480 yards.
In the rushing department, another Utah player, Jack Cross, is 16th in the nation. He's traveled 269 yards in 46 plays. That means he isn't stopping to count daisies when they point him goalward.
If you like your football fancy, you have an afternoon of pure enjoyment in store. 'Cause not only does Utah love to throw the ball around, but with our own Jerry Robertson taking the snap-back from center Wint Winters, everybody's gonna get into the act.
Six of his heaves have wound up as touchdowns.
On The Baseball Scene
Shucks. No more world sories.
And row that it's all over, please
let Joe DiMaggio bow out like many of the old Yankees have. On top.
Way last March, in a quiet hotel room in Phoenix, Ariz. Joe is quoted as seving, "This may be my last year." Current coverage of the Yankee Clipper says he'll give the public an answer—soon.
The hero of kids all over the country does not have to play ball for a living. According to a New York sports script, a Wall Street stockbroker told him "If Joe has held on to the oil stock I sold him a few years ago, he does not have to worry about money."
As for stepping into a managerial position, that seems to be spiked by another DiMaggio quote, "I have trouble enough managing Joe DiMaggio."
He's also been receiving a salary of $100,000 a year.
So if any of the noise from us guys down here on the bottom of the pile can reach the big man's ear, let it make this sound.
"Bye Joe. You're the greatest of them all."
While playing in the Big Six conference, Kansas tied for positions seven times in the 20 years between 1928 and 1947.

'Breaking Up The Yankees'
New York—(U.P) At long last; they're gonna "break up the Yankees."
That time-honored plea always emanated from enemy quarters in the past but today it is the plan of the Yankee officials themselves.
Joe DiMaggio shapes up as the first link in a long chain, of turnovers.
Questioned about his impending retirement the greying, veteran center-fielder proved confusingly evasive.
"I wouldn't dare say anything now about quitting," he declared. "I can wait a while before announcing anything like that. I'm not sure when I'll make an announcement."
Bobby Brown, one handy third
baseman, put his Yankee uniform
away for at least two years yesterday since he already is committed to the U.S. Army, where he will serve in the medical corps as a doctor.
Jerry Coleman, hero of the 1949 and 1950 World Series but merely a fill-in during the classic that ended yesterday, reportedly is ear-marked for the St. Louis Browns, along with husky hammering Hank Bauer, whose grand slam triple was the key blow against the Giants yesterday.
Among the pitchers who might find themselves in different locales next April are Frank (Spec) Shea, Johnny Sain, Art Shallock, Frank (Stubby) Overmire, Joe Ostrowski, Bobby Hogue and perhaps, even Bob Kuzava.
