Winner takes pennant. In case of rain, game will be played Monday. NATIONAL LEAGUE NEW YORK (JP) Big John-ny Lindell's 400-foot blast into the left field stands in the eighth inning shot the New York Yankees into a tie for the American League lead. The Yanks edged the Boston Red Sox, 5 to 4. Lindell's clout off Joe Dobson backed up another eye-filling relief job by Fireman Joe Page who once again stopped the Red Sox in a 6-inning chore.

Trailing, 4 to 0, in the early innings, the plucky Yanks made "Joe DiMaggio Day" an afternoon long to be remembered by the 69,551 present by-erupting against Mel Parnell in a game-tying rally. Two big hits by Jolting Joe helped chase Boston's 25-game winner. NOW IT ALL hangs on one game, to be played Sunday in Yankee Stadium. Vic Raschi (20-10) Is the Yanks' best bet for the big game that will decide the league's World Series entrant. Marse Joe McCarthy, of the Red Sox, is expected to start Ellis Kinder, his 23-garae winner with 13 consecutive victories.

Trailing by a game with only two to play before Saturday's tingling contest, the Yanks now are at least an even bet to climax their season-long drive with another championship. The heat was on them, now it's equally divided. Probably no player in modern baseball ever was under more pressure than Joe DiMaggio Saturday.

Before the game he stood for almost an hour to receive a freight-train load of gifts that ranged from a new Cadillac to free barbering service. A cash donation of some $7,500 was to be turned over to the Damon Runyon Cancer Fond and the Heart Fund.

The Yanks trailed 4 to '0, in the fourth when DiMaggio, who struck out in the first inning, led off. Joe sliced a double and the Yank revival started. Before the inning was over, singles by Hank Bauer and Lindell and a fly by Jerry Coleman halved the Sox lead. AGAIN IN the fifth inning, Parnell had retired in favor of the Veteran Joe Bobson with the score, 4-3. Joe iapped a single off Dobson's glove that loaded the bases with none out.

Eventually Billy Johnson banged into a double-play, letting in Tom Henrich with the fourth run. Page, making his 60th appearance and 20th in relief of Starter Allie Reynolds, didn't have it at first. He walked Al Zarilla and Billy Goodman with the bases loaded in the third inning, forcing across the last two Boston runs. After that, he was invincible allowing only one hit in the 6-inning stint. That left it all when Lindell, who had hit only five previous homers this season and none at all since July 31, came to the plate in the eighth.

Two were out and Dobson was breezing. LINDY, WHO has been something less than a hero at the Stadium this year, cracked a tremendous drive that won the ball game. Wildness almost let the Sox "walk" home with the pennant. During the first three innings they made three singlep, six walks and two wild pitches add up to a bulging 4-0 lead. Dom DiMaggio's opening single to short right started the trouble.

Johnny Pesky forced Dom at second but Reynolds was in a jam when Ted Williams' blast deflected off Henrich's glove and Umpire Cal Hubbard for a single. THEN REYNOLDS, pitching to Vern Stephens, uncorked a wild pitch that rolled back of the plate, advancing both runners. When Stephens flied to Lindell, Pesky trotted home. Reynolds rolled through the second, walking only one man, -but he suddenly lost the plate again in the third. With one out he loaded the bases by passing Pesky, Williams and Stephens.

Doerr's 'Blooper" dropped safely in short right, Pesky scoring and Reynolds was done. Manager Casey Stengercalled for Page. Fireman Joe forced in two runs by walking Zarilla and Goodman. Then he whiffed Birdie Teb-betts and Parnell. Parnell, in and out of the bullpen since he hung up his25th victory at the Yanks' expense last Sunday, was touched for two in the fourth.

JOE DiMAGGIO'S double, and singles by Bauer and Lindell did the trick. They got McCarthy's ace in the fifth on successive singles by Phil Rizzuto, Henrich and Yogi Berra. Berra's smash Into center field sent Rizzuto In with the third Yankee run. McCarthy brought on Dobson, but he couldn't stop the Yanks before they tied it. Joe DiMaggio drove one off Dobson's glove for an infield single, loading the bases with none ouL JOHNSON, working the count to 3-2, rapped into a double play, Henrich scoring the tying run on the double out.

Bauer's fly to Dom DiMaggio left Ber- ra stranded on third.

Michigan's mighty football machine took 88,000 sunkissed fans for a little buggy-ride. Stanford went along. The Wolverine express sputtered and stalled for the first half and Stanford fans still had hones as they trailed by only one touch-! down at the intermission. But after a refueling job, the Wolverines came back to ram over three times within a nihe-minute span in the third period and stretch their winning streak to 25 games by a score of 27 to 7. THE MICHIGAN triumph broke Stanford hearts up and down the West Coast as the Wolverines struck by air and land to nip In- Picture on Page 4 dian hopes of an upset victory.

Stanford went into the game with a record of scoring 93 points against San Jose and Harvard. It had not had its goal-line touched. But the Indians bowed by three touchdowns to the Wolver-rines, who turned Leo Koceski, the 165-pound Pennsylvania scat-back, loose for the most brilliant exhibition he has played for the Maize and Blue. The triumph kept alive Michigan's record of never having bowed to a West Coast team in six intersectional contests. The score decisive as it was, didn't really tell the story.

The Indians were in scoring position only once in the first half and didn't return to such a spot until late in the final period when they rolled 46 yards against Wolverine reserves. MEANWHILE, Michigan was banging away in Stanford territory most of the afternoon to keep the biggest throng ever to witness an inter-sectional game in Stanford Stadium in continual awe. Fumbles thwarted more Michigan scoring drives and the clock halted another on the six-inch line at the close of the first half. But the Wolverines still had enough gas to completely dominate the proceedings as they piled up 23 first down to 13 for the losers. A BIT OF GLUE on the fingers of Michigan's pass-receivers would also have helped.

Charles Ort-mann, sharing honors with his brilliant teammate Koceski, was laying his tosses in there, but they bounced off receivers' fingertips all afternoon. Don Dufek's fumble on the Stanford 19-yard stripe derailed a Wolverine drive early in the first period after Lineman Lloyd Hene-veld had recovered the first of two Stanford miscues he retrieved during the game. But the next time they got the ball the Wolverines rumbled 60 yards in eight plays as Ort-niann and Koceski burned up the greensward.

A capacity crowd of 28,000 worried through a first half touchdown drought with Army and then saw the Cadets rear from behind to win hands down. This was Army's final tune up for its crucial game at Ann Arbor next Saturday with Michigan. DESPITE THE ONE SIDED margin by which Army won, it wasn't in a class with Michigan when rated off its performance against Penn State.

DESPITE TWO streaks of stubbornness, Marquette never had a chance. State grabbed a 28-0 lead at the half and always was in complete command while first-stringers were on the field.
