iol the [ C Pittsburgh Pirates dressing room and manager Danny Mur- taugh grimaces in delight as Bucs fter Waiting 33 Years. By ED CORRIGAN Associated Press Staff Writer A dream 33 years in the mak- ing came true for Pittsburgh Pi- rates Sunday. They are the champions of the Nationa | League It was in 1927 that the Pirates last won the National League flag. They met New York Yan- kees in the world series and were humiliated in four straight Danny Murtaugh, the manager who led Pittsburgh to the title, was a boy of nine then Now, more than a quarter of a century later, the Pirates will try to even the old score, for they'll meet the Yanks again The Pirates won the pennant Sunday in unglamourous fashion, bowing to Milwaukee Braves, 42, when Eddie Mathews blasted a home run in the bottom of the 10th inning. But it was the humble Chicago Cubs, and pitcher Glen Hobbie in particular, who came to the res- cue of the Buccos. Hobbie, beaten by St. Louis only last Friday, came back to hold the Cards to six hits to enable the Cubs to win, 50.

A drastic patching job was needed with 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 to- day the Yanks are the champions of the American League for the 10th time in the past 12 years Since that day more than a week ago, the Yanks haven't lost.| They've won nine in a row, In eluding the clincher, a 4-3 decis- jon over the Boston Red Sox Sun day.

Yawkey said the 42 - year - old Williams will serve as a batting instructor at the pre season camp at Scottsdale, Ariz., next spring, Williams then would re- main in the organization and "assume duties in keeping with his great talent," the owner added, He did not elaborate. The statement killed specula- tion that Williams might change his mind about ending his play ing days. Number nine has said he was ending his stormy, oft interrupted career before and come back SAID IT THEN When he hit his 500th homer at Cleveland in June Williams said it was his last year, He has repeated the decision frequently since then but it took Yawkey more like a father than a bess to his star, to seal the verdict With 520 home runs, Williams is third in the all-time derby only 14 behind Jimmy Foxx Wouldn't that be incentive ONTARIO MOTOR SALES.
