If took Dodgers 13 innings and 4 hours and 9 minutes to grab the chance, finally subduing the stubborn New York Mets 5-4 when Frank Howard doubled Jim GUV iam home with the winning run. That gave the Dodgers a halt- game edge over the runner-up 'Hants. The Dodgers sent Demeter to Philadelphia last year for pitcher Dick Farrell and inficlder Joe Koppe--both no longer with the Dodgers.

Demeler, meanwhile, has become the Phiis' top power producer. He got the Phils started against the Giants with a second inning homer, then hit a two-run shot in the seventh that snapped a 2-2 tie and ended San Francisco's- five-game victory string.
