 Detroit, oct. 0-(UP)-A man named 0osiin was the end and the beginning.
 The man named 0osiin did 1t with Q slashing single which, as It bit into the outfield of Navin field, ended the 1o36 world series and started the worlds all-tirne base ball celebration.
 The ball still was bounding hip- pety-hoppety along the ground when Detroit's frenzied baseball thousands rose from their seats as a man, and split the air with a deafening roar of triumph. For a moment 1t made you think of that last split second before dam cruinbles in the face of onrushing water--they paused, as if to gather full momentum. Then, as Mickey Cochrane crossed the plate, and they knew the championship of the world belonged to their cherished Tigers, they surged forward on the playing field, sweeping all before them.
 Wildfire
 The hysteria began at the ball field, but a minute after the Goose's blow had brought the Tigers their first championship in the history of the club, 1t had spread to the fur thernOst reaches of the city. And the madness was on. With one tremendous shout, every man, wo- man, and child began to do his or her best to release all the enthus- iasm this city had stored up in the 48 long years the Tigers had gone without championship.
 The armistice celebration, veteran policemen said, could not match 1t. It was Dewey's return from Manila. the Armistice, Lindbergh's arrival from Paris, done all over again, and with bit more noise. With the flash of the final score every win dow in every office building was thrown open, and every head in the place srtuck out. Tons of waste paper were showered to the streets below, and the more enthusiastic scaled their hats into the milling thousands on the sidewalk.
 Grand Push
 Paper bags filled with water came hurtling down to break with 8 booming crash. Sometimes on the pavement, sometimes on the heads of celebrants. Nobody minded. The streets, which had been deserted until the last run was scored (ev- erybody who didn't have @ ticket was inside listening to a radio) be- came choked with pedestrians and automobilists. It was shove. push, poke, laugh, sing, and yell. Traffic was Bnarled into tangles, and the policemen were too busy yelling themselves to pay any attention, even to patient, milk wagon horse, who festooned and be-ribboned like @ grand prize winner at the county fair, was caught helplessly in @ whirl Of honking automobiles.
 The downtown hotel which serv- ed as baseball headquarters was the scene of indescribable confu- sion. For every one of the hundreds packed inside its lobby, there were thousands outside, waiting for a glimpse of the players. The square in front of the hotel was solid mass Of people. and even the her. oic statues which adorn 1t. were alive with curious spectators anx- ious for a vantage point.
 Some of the crowd sWore 1t saw the biggest Statuary group. com- posed of several men rampant on block of marble. wave and shout If the marble fellows didn't yell and shout, they were the only ones in Detroit who failed to.
 C0stumed
 It was & good natured crowd. Many were dressed in fantastic costumes, and scores of men and women wearing big. black, card- board noustaches were spotted. Ev- cry other person had noise-mak- ing contrivance of some sort to aid his lungs in splitting the air. The Joy makers decorated everything with ribbons, pennants and banners. Street cars and buses were 50 drap- ed with decorations they resembled flagships as they moved tortuously along. Over-exhuberant rooters keept fire engines busy with false alarms.
 Enthusiasm reached 6 new all- time high at many of the grade schools during yesterdays game, when hundreds of children refused to go home and insisted on staying with teacher and listening to the game over the radio.
 Today life went on a bit more normally. but conversation, from the barbershop to the banking of- fices, was of the Tigers glorious victory over the Cubs. The streets still were filtered with torn paper. and the carnival spirit had not totally deserted the city.
 Head Start
 Detroit's tremendous celebration of the Tigers win did not come as Q surprise, for all during the regu- lar American league season, and throughout the series, It's fans gave e demonstration of enthusiasm un- matched in the history of baseball. There have been hot baseball towns, yes--St. Louis, Boston. Washington, and Brooklyn-but never Q town as "hot" for the sport as this. Detroit
