~ ETROIT September 29-The
only thing the Detroit Tigers
j were sure of tonight, as they
prepared to close their regu-
lar 1884 schedule Sunday against the
st. Louis Browns, was that they are
champions of the American League
Speculation over what team they
will play in the world series and
when the series will open was rife
among the Tiger players. Tonight,
as guests at a huge testimonial BAN
quet attended by more than 1000
fans, the Tigers expressed only one
wish-that the National League race
was decided.
Members of the team were show
cred with gifts at the dinner, among
the hundreds of presents being dia-
mond ring for each member of the
squad.
The Tigers are generally agreed that
they would rather meet the New York
Giants than the st. Louis Cardinals.
The prospect of facing Dizzy Dean,
then battling Paul and then facing
Dizzy again is not heartening. Aside
from the playing angle, the Tigers
realize that a series with New York
would be much more profitable than
one with the Cards. whose park can
not compare with the 5,000-capacity
Polo Grounds.
The Detroit Base Ball Co. an
nounced today that, in an effort to
prevent speculation, reserved seat
tickets would be given only to those
successful applicants who appear in
person at the Navin Field box Offices
Monday and Tuesday.
If developments in the National
League necessitate a change in ar
rangements, the company was pre-
pared to announce new plans Sun

Thirsting for revenge ever since
Bill Terry coyly questioned for publi-

world champions, while the Giants
frittered nervously all over the rain
soaked sod in the half orizzle that
shrouded the play.
And the swarm of rabid rooters that
came with the invaders, numbering
most of the 13,774 who paid in, didn't
help the Giants any with their whole
hearted booing and mad array of
noise-making machinery.
Mungo. the young fireball right
handler, was the triple-threat hero of
the occasion, and tonight he's the
toast of the most rabid fandom in the
world.
He scored the Dodgers first run in
the fifth after singing to center, TAX
ing second on a passed ball, and rest

IF THE elder of the famous pitching
pair succeeds, st. Louis will win
the championship regardless Of
what the Giants do in their c.osing
clash against Brooklyn. A Cancelled
game, if the weather forces it, will
be just as good.
The only way the Giants have a
chance to win the flag is to capture

loses.
In that case a three game play-of

eide which of the rivals will oppose

The younger Dean, winning his
nineteenth victory of the season to-
day, was almost as effective as the
famous Jerome Herman was yester-
day although he was hit rather more
freely. The only run the Reds scored
was in the eighth inning when Jim
Bottomley hoisted home run into
the top of the pavilion roof.
Cincinnati had two other chances,
one in the third when Paul struck
out two batters with men on first

when the Reds loaded the bases with
only one out. Then Dean got rid OF
