The crowd lived a thousand years and died a thousand deaths before the pennant was secured dium. The wide open offensive battle saw the lead change hands gave the USF Dons and their new coach, Joe Kuharich, a 70 in augural victory over St. Mary's beardless Gaels before 30.000 spectators.

Pet. Cleveland 93 3d Of TJf: Casey "It's the biggest thrill lof my life. I never wanted a pennant as much as this one." So spoke gray, grizzled Casey Stengel yesterday as his players whooped it up in the clubhouse. "The players won it for me, every one of them helped," he said with a sweep of his hand that embraced them all. It was a nice tribute from a manager who did a terrific job and should he voted "Manager of the Year in the Minors." Stengel had previously won pennants at Toledo and Milwaukee (1911) and was a World Series hero with the Giants in 1023.

Each team now has only five games left to play. Cleveland and Boston's contests are at home, while all those of the Yankees are on the road.

Feller's triumph in the rubber game of the three-game scries was his sixth straight and his eighteenth of the season. He has lost It. Bob allowed only five hits, the third straight game in which he has allowed five or fewer safeties. Relying mainly upon a wicked breaking curve ball, and using his feared fast one only in spots, Feller turned back nine Timers on strikes to run his season's total to 161 strikeouts.
