Deciding Tills In Pro Football League Sunday By UNITED PRESS The New York Giants who can blame everything on the Cleveland Browns ififltiey falter, and the Detroit Lions must clinch the National Football League's division titles the hard way next weekend — on enemy fields. The Browns will fall to win a division title this season for the first time in their fabulous 11-year history, but they played like champions in the rains and snow at Yankee Staduim Sunday to whip the Giants, 24-7. The defeat cut New York's lead to one game in the Eastern race and the Giants must defeat or tie the Eagles at Philadelphia Saturday to assure themselves of the title. The Washington Redskins kept alive their hopes of catching the Giants when Sam Baker’s 21-yard field goal in the last 25 seconds produced a 19-17 victory over the Eagles. Detroit remained a half — game ahead of the Chicago Bears in the Western race by thumping the Pittsburgh Steelers, 45-7. The Pears, who play host to the Lions Sunday in their regular season windup, eliminated the Chicago Ga-dinals from the Eastern race, ’ M, in a game marred by brawls.
