HICAGo, October Sup to
their necks in verbal war and
adversity-and loving it.
~ those embattled Tigers from
Detroit reached out today for another
grip on Chicago's Cubs, to flip them
over once more for half the margin
that stands between them and base
balls world championship.
The way they beat the Cubs yes
terday was evidence enough for those
with eyes to see that this world series
is headed for the same resting place
that the world heavyweight cham
pionship will find when and If Joe
Louis ever gets into ring with Title
Holder Jimmy Braddock, namely De-
troit. Two more knockdowns and the
Tigers have got 1t.
While the Cubs, maybe bit punchy,
we're staggering around fighting with
umpires and missing their shots at
the real foe, the Tigers decided that
an old hand at the business of VIM

was just the man to sneak another
Sunday punch over the Chicago
youngsters who started SO we'll. but
apparently did most of their running
in the first few PAGES.
Cubs Look to Carleton.

Irishman, to Kenesaw Mountain

the Cubs placed their waning faith
in Tex Carleton, graduate Of the
st. Louis Cardinal gas house gang,
and If that fails, nothing the umpires
say and do is going to matter much
after today.

in courage, insisted that Moriarty, one

from the underdog position into the
favorite's role in the third game at
Wrigley Field.
While the Cubs still were scream
ing to Lands about Moriarty for
heaving Manager Charlie Grimm and
Capt. Woody English, pair of nom
combatants, of the premises because
of complaints about his decision. the
Tigers went about their business of
winning this series, content that
they'll never face anything tougher
than yesterdays problem.
Troubles Fail TO Stop Tigers.
FIRST they were hit smack between
the eyes about noon with the
realization that Hank Greenberg, the
big Jewish first baseman from the
Bronx, who has been their cleanup
hitter all year. was out Of action with
a strained left wrist, not only for
the day but probably for the entire
series.
They had to shift Marvin Owen,
their third baseman. across the in
field to fill big Greenbergs shoes, and

Owens place at third. Then along
came big Bill Lee. the Cubs powerful

them with one run for seven innings.

star, was being cuffed around, and

Rowe Strong Finisher.
INSTEAD of curling up there the
Tigers just started to fight. Rowe
pulled himself together and paced
along with Larry French. the Cubs
third pitcher. until 10 JIG White finally
hammered home the winning run in
the eleventh with single that count

Tigers believe him to be. as he famed

The ball game was q rioutous, in
sane, frozen affair, hitting a new high
in this series for thrills and excite
ment, though it failed by 5000 to draw
the capacity house expected Of it.
The Cubs became incensed at Um-
pire Moriarty, who once played third
base for the Tigers and later managed
them, and who, also formerly played
with the Cubs, when he called Phil
Cavarretta out trying to steal second
base in the sixth. Tempers were hot
and tongues wagged freely.
Moriarty chased Grimm and English
to the club house, where Grimm, in his
ire, punched a hole in the door so that
he could still direct his team through
