OuI uSI DO
much of a loss to his Cubs
at the bat as though he were.
Billy Herman-Easily the out
standing hitter of the series de-
spite the fact that his opponent
at second, Charley Gehringer'S
average is AZ points higher.
Should be a great help to the
Cubs when he grows up.
Stanley Hack-Kis triple in the
ninth, which was wasted, offset
two sleepy fielding plays when
he let Fox's double go past him
in the first and when he was
slow on Bridges force-out Of
Owens at second in the fourth.
leaving the burden on Herman OF
an uncompleted attempted double
play on Bridges at first.
Goose Goslin-A fair to mid.
dim country ball player who,
like TennySon'S brook, seems to
have no end. Greatest money
player since Babe Ruth is the
Salem slammer.
"Flea" Clifton-A great defen-
sive third baseman, who, like the
guy across the diamond from
him, Phil Cavarretta, is still a
year or two away from being an
all-around ball player.
Larry F'rench-whose tactics in
passing a weak Tiger hitter,
owen, in the eighth to make a
third out more likely is difficult
to reconcile with his refusal to
pass Goslin, a dangerous hitter,
who slugged the hit that won the
game in the ninth.
George Moriarty-a lamb of
the field and lion on.
Mickey Cochrane-SnapS out OF
q weak series beginning to get
very much in the picture by ig.
hitting the spark which exploded
the Tigers into a well-deserved
victory.
"Chuck" Klein-whoSe belated
presence in the game kept the
Cubs from taking their licking
much sooner than they did.
"Gabby' Hartnett-a polished
player who was unable to trans
fuse his experience into the
mechanics of an aI-tooyouthful
supporting cast. He has right
fully been selected to represent
the National League behind the
bat in all three-mid-Summer all
star games. Series batting aver
age same as his adverSaries.
Charlie Gehringer-a direct
parallel in the American League
Of Hartnett's, who has repre-
sented his league in every all-star
game to date, and played errorless
series baseball, hitting like a
demon.
'Pete" Fox-HiS leading batting
average of 1886 for six series
games, coupled with strike he
threw to home plate Sunday and
another to third base yesterday,
each of which cut off a run, just
about makes him the hero OF the
series.
Marvin Owen-Fielded two diff
ferent positions in errorless fash
ion, despite the fact he has the
reputation for being an Indifferent
ball player, and who started hit
ting too late in the series to be-
come a Standout.
Bill McGowan-Who umpired a
great ball game behind the bat in
the thinning game ir Chicago
Saturday without having a protest
on a ball or strike.
"Gen'r'l" Alvin CroWder-He
had the Cubs nuts all afternoon
when he turned them back Satur-
day, compiling many counts Of
three and two but getting the
sides out ultimately and winning
his first world series game in one
Washington and two Detroit
starts.
Tommy Bridges C a ried the
burden of the pitching duties for
the victorious Tigers and wrap
ped the Cubs up in brown paper
and sent them home carrying the
bundle by the string.
Schoolboy Rowe-Proved to
every baseball fan in the country
he wasn't boy who had been sent
on O mans errand.
Freddy Lindstrom You can
nave him! He had no pebble to
prove an alibi.
Lon Warneke-A strong man in
q flea circus.
Kowlik-Just another guy.
HenShaW-Ditto.
