It was in 1927 that the Pirates last won the National League flag. They met New York Yankees in the world series and were humiliated in four straight.
Danny Murtagh, the manager who led Pittsburgh to the title, was a boy of nine then.
Now, a third or a century later, the Pirates will try to even the old score, for they'll meet the Yanks again.

Nechako Cops Soccer Crown

The win gave Nechako a three-point edge over McKenzie Men's Wear in the final standings. McKenzie, dropped a 1-0 decision to Vanderhoof in their final game Sunday.
Neohako jumped into a 4-0 halftime lead and coasted the rest of the way for their win against Queensway. Domain pumped in two goals for the winners while Hugo Riske and Hubert Voik each tallied once.
In the second half of the game Nechako goalie Wolfgang Auer-baoh miscued on two shots by Jim Briggs, one from 25-feet out to lose his shutout bid.
The victory gave Nechako 11 points in the final standings'. McKenzie, only one ipoint behind the league champs going into Sunday's action, failed to pick up any points and finished with eight.
Queensway finished Avith six points while Vanderhoof had. five.

But is was the humble Chicago Cubs, and pitcher Glen Hob-bie in particular, who came to the rescue of the Buccos. Hob-bie, beaten by St. Louis only last Friday, came back to hold the Cards to six hits to enable the Cubs to win, 5-0.
That mathematically eliminated the Cards, and, in fact, pushed them into third place behind Milwaukee.

Pittsburgh Fans Celebrate Pennant
PITTSBURGH UP) — Pittsburgh Pirates fans waited a long time to celebrate a National League pennant winner, but they did it in style when they got their chance.
Safety director Louis Rosenberg estimated 350,000 turned out for a mammoth, welcome home party Sunday night. The celebration continued until early today.
Every major office building was aglow. Traffic became so hopelessly jammed police shut off streets for blocks in the area around Gateway Plaza where a reviewing stand was set up. The celebrating began a few hours after the Bucs clinched their first pennant since 1027 —because St. Louis Cardinals were eliminated by Chicago CJubg. The fact the Pirates lost their third straight game to Mil-\vaukee Sunday didn't bother the jubilant fans.
The Pirates were an hour late arriving from Milwaukee because of their clubhouse celebration, The fans didn't, seem to mind that It was M p.m. when the pennant winners arrived In downtown Pittsburgh from the airport
The players tranferred from busies to convertihles, one for each player and his wife.
It was midnight before the parade broke up—and long after that before some celebrants wont home.
the final two games after another day off on Oct. 12-13.
Just 11 days ago, New York Yankees were clinging to the American League lead by one thin percentage point and it was a leaky ship Casey Stengel was piloting.
The Yanks had just lost two straight to their country cousins, the Kansas City As. A drastic patching job was needed witli a four-game set coming up with the second-place Baltimore Orioles.
Stengel did the job, the leaks were plugged, the ship got on an even keel. The Orioles tumbled to four straight defeats and today the Yanks are the c h a m p i o n s of the American League for the 10th time in the last 12. years.
Since that day more than a week ago, the Yanks haven't lost. They've won nine in a row, including the clincher, a 4-3 decision over the Boston Red Sox Sunday. To Cleveland Indians goes a large assist. The Tribe blanked Chicago, 4-0, eliminating the White Sox.
The pennant is the Yanks' 25th in 40 years, a record that The

nants. In the American League the No. 2 club in pennant production was the old Philadelphia As with nine, all under Connie Mack.
Ralph Terry—with a one-batter assist from Luis Arroyo — pitched (he Yanks to their deciding victory. Two months ago, Tony was strictly excess baggage on the New York pitching staff. At one point, he had the dubious distinction of pitching to 11 batters, 10 of whom hit safely.
Ho was untouchable from the fourth until the ninth when he yielded three singles and one run; With the tying run on third, Arroyo came to the rescue and forced Pete Runnels, the league's batting-leader, to foul out.
Roger Marls drove in two Yank runs and it was Terry himself — an .OfiS hitter — who doubled home what proved to be the deciding run.
Bobby Locke took care of the White Sox for Indians. He lot the pale hose down with just four hits, and worse yet, dropped them into third place behind the Orioles, who whipped Washington Senators, 3-1.
Public announcement of the protest was made during a half-time television interview with general manager Herb Capozzi. Stamps jumped into a 10-0 lead during the first quarter, increased the edge to 13-7 at the half but trailed 14-13 at the third quarter mark before scoring two touchdowns for the win.
Turning in exceptional jobs for Stampeders were Ronnie Morris and Doug Brown. Morris intercepted two of Randy Duncan's passes ami ran one of them 35 yards for a touchdown. Brown's fine kicking, under slightly windy conditions, accounted for two field goals and three converts.
Duncan's return to action after five games on the B.C. bench was inauspicious—his were the only passes intercepted during the game.
Don Stone, Morris and Gene Filipski scored touchdowns for Calgary, with Morris kicking a fourth-quarter single. Don Vide and Nub Beamer scored touchdowns for B.C. and George Grant converted both.
Calgary's two games with Saskatchewan this year have resulted in a 15-15 tie—for Rough-ies only point of the season— and a 23-15 win that was not considered easy.
Winnipeg has beaten Edmonton in each of their previous meetings, by tight scores of 18-14 and 15-14.

The Big Four Football League rolled into the second half of its ] 1-game schedule Saturday with Toronto and Ottawa still riding herd on the opposition and the losing coaches are in a dither— for different reasons.
In Montreal, Alouette coach Perry Moss registered an official protest on a nullified convert as Toronto Argonauts bumped the Als 21-9 for their third win in as many meetings. It wasn't the officiating that worried Hamilton coach Jim Trimble. It was the punchless play of his once-mighty Tiger-Cats as they slumped along to another defeat, 35-21 at the hands of Ottawa Rough Riders. "The worst football team I ever coached," said Trimble sadly. "And! I am solely and personally responsible for it."
iii DEADLOCKED Ottawa and Toronto emerged from the weekend still deadlocked for first place with six wins in eight games. The Als are six points back with three
victories and Hamilton has a lone win.
"They looked like a bunch of knuckleheads," said Trimble after watching three potential Ti-

"Our guys were saying, 'will you take it or will I? You've got to fight for those passes."
Ottawa snagged two other interceptions as the Hamilton defence sagged before a tough attack. Ottawa scoring was led by Gary Scbreider, Joe Kelley, Da-vey West, Dave Thelen and Ron Stewart with touchdowns'.
Shreider kicked four converts and Jim Conroy kicked a single.
Tic.vr scoring
Ticat scoring was handled by Gerry McDougall. Tommy Grant anil Garhey Henley. McDougall kicked three converts as fewer than 20,000 fans turned up at Hamilton to watch.
Toronto gathered 25S yards in the air in the win at Montreal, tossing 21 passes for 20 completions while fullback Cookie Gilchrist and quarterback Tobin Rote, who completed the game with a touchdown pass, his 18th of the season, led the attack.
Moss telephoned Sydney Halter of Winnipeg, Canadian Football League commissioner,, after looking at films of the game, played before a crowd of 23,-452-.
The team is disputing nullification of a convert by Bill Bew-ley at 12:20 in the third quarter. Team officials claim there cannot be illegal motion on a convert as the referees ruled.
"As long as no one moves forward and offside, just about anything goes," said Ken Brown the Als' director of development.
fJ         MOTION
"Backfielders of course, can run anywhere. Linemen, say the rules, can- adjust to splits by rhoving laterally or backward. So how can there be illegal motion?"
Toronto piled up 238 yards rushing with Gilchrist collecting 131 of them and fullback Dick Shatto 50. Gilchrist ran 74 yards for a touchdown in the third quarter and added a 33-yard field goal, a pair of converts and two singles to his total. End Boyd Carter caught a iouchdown pass and Dave Mann kicked two singles.

After Mizell set down Chicago Cubs with six hits Thursday for his 12th victory in 17 decisions since joining the Pirates, Murtaugh pointed a finger at him and said, "There is one of the big reasons we are up here. The trade that brought him here really gave us a big lift, made the difference."
All of Mizell's 11VS years in organized baseball had been spent in tho Cardinals' organization, where ho had fallen far short of tho great things predicted for him. In six years with the Cardinals, he was a .500 pitcher.
