DETROIT. Oct "a sickly sun
peered through the skies this after
noon as the Chicago Cubs and De-
troit Tigers took the field in the
second battle of the World Series
with the Cubs one up with yester-
days 80 victory.
A hail storm. accompanied by q
biting wintry wind that sent the
mercury tumbling to the low 40s.
greeted the football-dressed thou
sands who poured into Navin Field
for the second encounter of the
series.
Managers Charlie Grimm of the
Cubs and Mickey Cochrane clung
to their original decisions and sent
Charlie Root. 36-year-Old sidearm
hurler, and Tommy Bridges. Ten
nessee curve ball artist, to the
mound.
DetrOits Need Victory
Even the cold, however. was not
enough to deter those hardy base
ball filberts who stand in line all
night in order to be the first
through the gates when the unre-
served sections are placed on sale.
A few hundred of the valiants. in
Guiding a smattering of Amazons.
stuck it out through all the cold
and sluSh of the night and, when
the gates were opened at 9 a. m.
mushed through to the choice
bleacher iglooS.
Today'S game, which is likely to
go down in history as the Battle
of the human ice cubes" is the one
the DetroitS must win to keep more
than a fighting chance for the
championship.
ShutOut, 3 to 0, by Lon Warneke
yesterday. the Tigers are hopeful
that Bridges. the gamester who
licked the great Dizzy Dean in the
fifth game of last years brawl. will
send them to Chicago tonight on
even terms.
Blow to Charlie Root
Today's cold weather was a blow
to the veteran Root. for he is at his
best when sun is so hot it makes
the bleaCheriteS shed their coats
and furnish him with a white back
ground for his Side-arm delivery
But therell be no shirtSleeveS today.
Even Roots dearest friend would
not shed his coat out there on the
ice barrier today.
The wind played weird tricks with
fly balls in batting practice. The
balls, particularly the high ones
Topped and dipped like swallows
making the business of catching
them a neat combination of skill
and luck.
The wind. which was riding out
of the west. reduced the attractive
ness of the short left field bleach
ers as a target FOR home runs. II
was blowing almost dead behind
them, and balls which go in there
today will be very substantial pokeS
