San Francisco Giants beat Los Angeles Dodgers 6-4 on a bases loaded walk and an error--just by way of dramatic contrast with 1951 when the Giants beat the Dodgers in a similar playoff with Bobby Thomson's home run--and the sideline managers immediately took over. Here are their targets: | 1. Why didn't the Giants try jto bunt in the sixth with he bases loaded and no one out and the score only 2-1 in their favor? 2. Why did manager Walt Alston of the Dodgers put in de- fensive players in the seventh after taking only a narrow 3-2 lead, thereby removing veteran Duke Snider from the game. Snider had already hit a double and single and scored twice. 3. Why in the fatal ninth, with the score tied at 4-4 and first base open, did Alston have Ed Bailey intentionally walked? (Obviously this was to set up a play at every base, with two out, but it misfired, as Jim to take a 3-2 lead. Corrigan doubled with one out, advanced on a passed ball and scored on a sacrifice fly by Legree. With two out, Short drew a walk and he scored when Morden tripled. to centre. In the fourth inning, Dervent homered, with one out and no- body aboard, to put Foley's in front 4-2, Houdaille got a run in the fifth when Brown was safe on Morden's error, to open the inning. He was forced by Elliott and the latter went t¢ 3rd on Hanna's double and scor- ed when Caines hit a long fly to centre. That ended the scoring, Shear- er singled for Houdaille in the sixth but there were two out and nothing happened and Hanna walked with two out in the 7th, but Maxwell closed the door on Cairnes to end the sea- son.

As it de- veloped, Pagan bounced to Maury Wills, who threw to the plate forcing Cepeda, and Mari- chal hit into a double play. 2, Says Alston of his defensive move: 'I wasn't too anxious to take Snider out, but he has a bum leg and can't run well, And it helped defensively at Ahird base, second base and left field by taking out only one man." 3..This was sound strategy to fill the bases, and Dark gave his approval. 4, Alston didn't take Roebuck out earlier for a pinch hitter, let alone in the ninth, because he "wanted him in there to pro- tect our lead."

San Francisco's joyous cit- izens appear unmindful of odds which make the Yankees 7-5 favorites to win the opener and 17-10 choice to win the series. All that mattered was that the Giants had whipped arch-rival Los Angeles Dodgers 6-4 Wed- nesday in the final playoff game and brought this city its first National League championship. One reason the Yankees are such prohibitive favorites is their long tradition of series su- premacy. The Yankees have won 19 of 26 fall classics--in- cluding four of six from the Giants, who haven't beaten them since 1922. Another reason is the Yankees are well rested after having clinched the American League pennant Sept. 25. The Giants had a hard pull, needing three playoff games to win the Na- tional League pennant after ene the Dodgers since July | Manager Alvin Dark of the Giants did not appear worried over the Yankees' physical and statistical edge. ' PLANS NO CHANGES "The. Yankees' rest doesn't! make too much of a difference, I don't think," Dark said. "I'm more concerned about my pitch- ing staff. I would have liked for Dark said he plans to use the same line-up that defeated the Dodgers Wednesday, "If O'Dell says he feels al! right, he's my opening pitcher," Dark said. "I want to open with him, then follow with Jack San- ford (a right-hander) here Fri- day and have Billy Pierce (a left-hander) ready for the third game in Yankee Stadium Sun- lay." Dark was asked how many games he expects the World Se- Ties to go. "Well, when we had nine games left in the regular season and we were trailing the Dodg- ers by four games," answered Dark, "I jokingly told the play- ers we had 19 more games to| play ; . . nine in the regular schedule, three in the playoffs and seven in the World Series. "If that's the way it ends, it's okay with me." | The Yankees worked out at San Francisco's Candlestick Park for the first time and re- ported no problems about the wind or the slow infield--both trouble points for. other teams. Manager Ralph Houk said he would go with his usual line-up. Tony Kubek leads off, Tommy Tresh bats third behind Bobby Richardson and Mickey Mantle is the cleanup hitter followed by Roger. Maris.'

The Dodgers get one back in the fourth on Duke Snider's double, Tommy Davis' single and Frank Howard's foree of Davis on which Snider scored. Trailing 2-1 going to the sixth, the Dodgers suddenly turned on the power with a single by Sni- der and a 390-foot homer by Davis, the batting champ of both majors with a .346 aveiage. The Dodgers increased that lead to 4-2 in the seventh when Wills singled for his fourth straight hit, stole second and then stole third for his 103rd and 104th thefts of a record season COULDN'T CARRY ON Roebuck, who came in with the bases loaded and nobody out in the sixth, escaped unscathed.

But Roebuck couldn't carry the load any further. } Marichal struggled through seven innings before he was pulled after throwing three balls to Tommy Davis opening the eighth.
