NAvIN FIELD, DETROIT, Oct. 2
W.P)-The Chicago Cubs, with Lon
ME Warneke, the Arkansas smoke
ball king, on the firing line, picked
up right where they left off in their
sensational drive to the National
League pennant today, to defeat the
Detroit Tigers, 3 to 0, in the OPEN
ing game of the 1885 world series.
A crowd of $4,000, which packed
every inch of the spacious stands,
saw Warneke, given two run lead
in the first inning, handwriting the
famed Detroit sluggers with his
binding speed and wicked hooks
and curves. Over the full nine in
nings the Tigers touched him for
but four hits, and they came at the
futile rate of one an inning.
While Warneke was binding the
Tigers, his mates worked on Lyn-
wood (Schoolboy) Rowe, giant right
handed ace of the American League,
Tor seven hits, one a tremendous
home run by Frank Demaree in the
ninth inning. But the Cubs didn't
need this blow, which sailed high
into the left field bleachers, for
with Warneke in invincible form,
the game, to all intents and pur-
poses, was settled N the first in
ming attack of the Cubs.
The Chicago's, playing With the
fire and dash of the Cub team which
blazed through four straight games
in the 1908 series with Detroit, vast
ed no time today. The game was
scarcely a minute old when Augie
Galan, left fielder and lead-off
man, slashed a double that ripped
of Rogell's glove and bounced into
centerfield. The Tigers, nervous
and jittery, failed to cover second
base on the throw in.
Galan was home with the first
run a few seconds later when Rowe
threw wild to first on Herman's
easy roller. Freddie Lindstrom
sacrificed Herman to second, and
then Gabby Hartnett, catcher and
spark plug of the National Leaguers.
drove him home with sharp single
to right.
The DETROIT G-men - Gordon
(Micky) Cochrane, Hank Greenberg.
Goose Goslin and Charlie Gehringer
who were expected to carry the
brunt of the attack, did not get a
hit between them, and the only one
of the four to hit ball past the
infield was Cochrane, who lifted
short fly in the second. Warneke
personally threw out the G-men six
times on weak little taps to the
pitchers box.
The only Tigers who could solve
the brilliant slants of Warneke to-
day were Pete Fox, 10 10 White.
and Rowe. Fox got double and
a single, White single and Rowe
a double.
The Tigers only threats, and they
were weak ones, came in the fourth
and fifth innings. In the fourth,
Wsrneke got himself in trouble.
After Gehringer had rolled out
weakly, Warneke temporarily lost
his superb control and walked
Greenberg and Goslin in succession,
the latter on four straight balls.
Unperturbed, Warneke took a solid
chew on his cut plug, hitched up
his pants, and went to work. He
made Fox roll weakly to urges, and
Rogell dribbled a gentle little
grounder to Cavarretta.
Rowe Makes Bid
In the fifth inning, with one
away, Rowe made a bid to win his
own game. With the count Two
and three, Schoolboy Strengthened
out one of Lonnie's curves for
double. Jurges made stab for
the ball but it spun him round and
to center for double.
Warneke then made White hit
softly to Herman, and followed by
handling Cochrane's feeble little
bounder himself.
The Cubs nicked Schoolboy for
hits in every inning save the fifth.
seventh and eighth. Jurges singled
in the second, Lindstrom in the
third, De1laree in the fourth. Hart
nett in the sixth, Demaree hit o
homer in the ninth.
The Cubs would have picked up
a run in the third inning had not
