BROOKLYN Last years National
League pennant race came down to the final
day, to the Dodgers and Phillies, and to Brook-
lyn pitcher Don Newcombe, who served up the
home run that sent the Phils to the World Series
and the Brooks home for a long, cold winter.
On Saturday night Newcombe turned the
tables, hurling Brooklyn to a 10-2 victory over
Philadelphia that clinched the Bums third N.L.
flag in the past five years.
The win not only redeemed Newcombe for
the gopher ball he threw to Dick Sisler last
year, but made him the first 20-game winner in
the majors this season
The win would not have clinched the pen-
nant for Brooklyn by itself. The Dodgers need-
ed help, and got it Saturday afternoon when
Boston beat the second-place Giants at the Polo
Grounds. The New York loss reduced Brook-
lyns magic number to 1.
Newcombe fell into a 2-0 hole against the
Phils, allowing single runs in the first and third
innings. He threw shutout ball over the final six
frames, allowing just three hits.
As Newcombe went about muting the Phil-
lies, Brooklyns bats went to work. One be-
longed to Newk himself the hurler tripled
and scored in the third inning to halve the defi-
cit. Billy Coxs two-run double in the fourth
gave the Dodgers a 3-2 lead.
Roy Campanella put the game out of reach
with a three-run home run in the seventh in-
ning, and a two-run double during a three-run
eighth-inning rally. Campys five RBI gave
him 101 for the season. The Dodgers boast four
100-RBI bats in their lineup.
Newcombe allowed two batters to reach base
in the ninth inning, but retired Del Ennis on a

SAN FRANCISCO (INS) Baseball
mourned Saturday for Joe Devine, veteran
scout for the New York Yankees, credited with
recognizing and developing more stars than
perhaps any other man in diamond history.
Devine signed or recommended 36 players
who reached the major leagues, including sev-
en-time All-Star Joe Cronin; brothers Paul and
Lloyd Waner, who helped the Pirates to the
1927 National League pennant, and Yankee
stalwarts Joe DiMaggio, Vic Raschi, Bobby
Brown, Gil McDougald and Jackie Jensen.
Devine, 56, died Saturday night in a San
Francisco hospital after failing to respond to
two blood transfusions. His illness was the af-
termath of a freak accident in Twin Falls, Ida-
ho, several weeks ago when he broke his arm
getting into an automobile.
The Boston Post reported that John Quinn,
44-year-old general manager of the Boston
Braves, would be named to succeed Ford Frick
as president of the National League.
A story by Joe McKenney stated that Quinn
is the nearly unanimous choice of the presi-
dents of the eight National League clubs to
take over for Frick when the latter assumes his
new duties as baseball commissioner.

the Braves edged the Giants, 7-6.
New York ace and N.L. All-Star starting

CHICAGO Two years ago, when Paul
Richards was managing Buffalo of the Interna-
tional League, he told outfielder Ray Coleman:
If I ever get to manage in the major leagues, Ill
get you on my club.
Clearly Richards wasnt just being social.
Coleman, acquired by Richards White Sox
from the Browns for the waiver price on July 31,
drove in the tying run in the fifth inning and the
game-winning score in the bottom of the 13th as
the ChiSox beat the Browns 3-2 Saturday night

Coleman batted .296 with 52 RBI in 86 games

BOSTON (AP) Bobby Doerr, one of the
most popular players to ever wear a Boston
Red Sox uniform, announced Saturday his re-
tirement effective at the end of the 1951 season
Forced to the bench by a painful recurrent
back injury, the greying veteran decided to call
it quits after 14 years with the Sox.
The 33-year-old second baseman broke the
news in a manner keeping with his quiet, easy-
going personality. When reporters arrived at the
press box to cover Saturdays Red-Sox Yankee
game, they found the following mimeographed
release:
After conferring with doctors and the Red
Sox management, I deem it necessary to an-
nounce my retirement from baseball at the end
of this season.
The baseball fans of Boston and New Eng-
land have been very kind to me during my ca-
reer. I will always be grateful. My wife, Mon-
ica, and son, Donie, join me in expressing our
gratitude.
(Signed) Bob Doerr.
Second baseman for the American League in
nine All-Star games, Doerr played only one
World Series, in 1946. He hit .409 in that excit-
ing seven game set with the St. Louis Cardi-
nals.
