On the next to the last day of the season the Giants fell off the cliff. Home runs by Doug Clemens and Billy Williams Saturday in Candlestick led to a 10-7 victory for the Chicago Cubs and mathematically eliminated the Can-dlestickers as pennant contend ers once and for all. The cellar dwelling Mets had already defeated the St.

Louis Cardinals 15-5 when the Cobs came to bat in the fourth trail ing 24. That meant, if the Giants could hold their advantage, they still had a chance to particpate in a tie for first place. Every thing woulddepend on the out come of today's game. The Giants have been sus pended over the abyss ever since last Sunday when they lost a double header in Chicago But the cliff edge began to crumble when rookie Dick Es- telle walked Ernie Banks. John Boccabella, a bonus rookie from Santa Clara, filed out to right.

The final outcome could possibly have been different, but for a judgment error by fullback Billy Cannon on the final play. Cannon's failure to reach the out-of-bounds sidelines on Buffalo's 33 tolled off the final seconds and prevented a last-ditch try by the Raiders to get into, the end zone for a winning touchdown. With 11 seconds left, the' former Heisman Trophy winner from LSU caught a sideline safety-valve pass from quarterback Cotton Davidson, but to the de- 1 i amazement of 36,461 Buffalo fans Cannon cut inside toward midfield instead of taking a step out of bounds. Precious seconds were lost and the gun sounded before the Raid er's could regroup for another play.

The near-capacity crowd at War Memorial Stadium was left limp by the fourth quarter fireworks. The spectators did not touch their seats through the last two minutes when Oak land moved from its own 20 across midfield into Buffalo territory.

Morton, under terrific pressure from the red-dogging Minnesota linebackers, still was able to complete 17 of 29 passes for 259 yards and one touchdown. The effort gives the towering senior from Campbell a career total of 3,022 yards passing, breaking the university record of 2,966, held by Paul Larson. But it was the passing of Gop her quarterback John Hankinson that did all the damge during the afternoon. He hit just nine of 13, but they -were good for 145 yards and a pair of touch downs.

Hankinson's passing was like frosting on the cake, too. It was effective enough to keep the Bears defense from tightening up on the Gopher ground game. As a result, halfbacks Bill Crockett and Lonnie Morgan, along with fullbacks Fred Farthing and Mike Reid, ripped for startling yardage with em barrassing frequency through the Bears' defense. Reid scored a touchdown, kicked field goals of 33 and 29 yards, and added a pair of points after touchdown. He also gained 27 yards In seven carries.

But the Gopher ground game was all Crockett and Farthing. Both were able to shake off tacklers repeatedly and get the big yardage when it was neces sary. And Aaron Brown, the giant Minnesota end, was thorn as Defeated Trlbunt Photo by Roy Williams 31, is Gopher back Mike Reid, while Craig is wrapped in the arms of another Gopher, Glen Wir-tanen.

Here's how it went yesterday, hereafter to be wailed Suicide Saturday; The Mets dumped St. Louis into an unbelievable tie in the National League pennant chase, 15-5 behind a five-homer bar rage.

The Reds and the Phillies, both idle yesterday, felt a little better when tdar. was done and the Giants had expired at the lands I of the Chicago Cubs, 10-7, ending the chance of a four-way tie. Badly as the Giants felt, the 1 Cards must have felt worse. A 1 win yesterday would have given them their first pennant since i 1946. The Mets shellacked eight Cardinal pitchers for 17 hits.

George Altaian started the homer parade, leading off the second with a blast into the right field seats. Ed Kranepool, whose run-scoring single beat the Cardinals 1-0 Friday night, connected with two on in the third. Charlie Smith was next, starting the fifth with a homer into the left field bleachers, Bobby Klaus and Joe Christopher closed out the barrage in a six-run seventh inning. Klaus connected with two aboard and one out later, Christopher 1 rapped the ball into the left field bleachers. -An ominous sign cropped up for the Cardinals with the first batter of the game.

The Yankees' dramatic victory on the next to the last day of the season eliminated the runner up Chicago White Sox from contention and brought the New York club its 14th pennant in the last 16 years The Yankees, the only team ever to win five consecutive pennants, duplicated a feat they accomplished from 1949 through 1953 when Richardson lined the ball over the head of Dick Howser at short with twoout in the eighth. Howser, timing his jump per fectly, leaped high into the air, but the ball popped out of his glove, and dropped right at his feet.
