WRIGLEY FIELD, CHICAGO,
Oct. 7.-CUP)-The long right
arm of Lonnie Warneke and the
big yellow bat of Chuck Klein
combined yesterday to give the
| Chicago Cubs a 81 triumph over
the Detroit Tigers in the Fifth
game of the World Series on
sunny October day before a
crowd of 49,237.
Those two-Skinny .Warneke
and Robust Klein-with gallant
assistance from Big Bill Lee
kept the cubs in the battle for
the worlds baseball champion
ship, and sent the two rival teams
back to Detroit to complete the
series. The Tigers hold a three
to two edge in the series with the
sixth game, and seventh, if nee
essary, scheduled for Navin Field.
Needing only one game to
clinch the title, the Tigers falter-
ed Sunday before the gallant
pitching of Warneke and Lee for
six innings Warneke, the Mount
Ida, Ark, boy who shut out the
Tigers in the opening game, stood
the American League champions
on their ears. He was almost in
vincible, allowing. only three hits
and permitting only two men to
reach second base.

neke's magnificent pitching, he
was toiling under the handicap OF
an injured shoulder. While pitch.
ing to Schoolboy Rowe in the
third inning, Warneke snapped
something. For three innings he
continued to hurry with all the
strength and stamina at his com.
mand, knowing that a pitching
lapse might mean disaster to the
Cubs.
He pitched until his arm hung
limp at his side, and he couldn't
throw the bal: to the plate
Only then did he tell Manager
Charlie Grimm that he couldn't
go any farther. Big Bill Lee step,
ped into the breach and held the
Tigers ir check tn keep the Cubs
from going down to their fourth
straight World Series defeat.
One mighty swing of Klein's
bat brought victory to the cubs
Billy Herman opened the third in,
ming with a triple to center field
Klein, staring the first Worlc
Series of his career, came ur
next and cracked one of School
boy Rowe's fast balls into the
right field bleachers for home
run, distance of about $50 feet
The cubs made another run
and so did the Tigers, but they
didn't mean anything. That one
blow from Klein's big bat tumbl
ed the Tigers to defeat.
Klein's homer was a one-day
early birthday present for the big
outfielder. This morning he wa:
only a substitute riding the
bench. Freddy Lindstrom, Cubs
centerfielder, injured his left
hand attempting to catch a fly
ball in yesterdays game. Mana.
ger Grimm moved Frank Demaree
over to center field to replace the
injured Lindstrom and placed
Klein in right. Previously he had
appeared only in a utility role
and appeared destined to see most
of the series from the bench.
But yesterday he was a hero
and today he's 30 years old.
Klein's dramatic homer off
Schoolboy Rowe was the most
valuable hit the former National
League batting champion has
made since he Joined the Cubs,
He was bought from the Phillies
for a reported sum of $125,000
in November, 1888. Since joining
the Cubs Klein had proved a big
disappointment. His hitting de.
clined the past season until he
was permanently benched early
in the Cubs 21-game winning
streak. Only the injury to Lind
strom brought him into the series
as a regular.
Manager Mickie Cochrane plac-
ed his ace, Schoolboy Rowe, again
yesterday and lost. 1t was the
second defeat of the series for
the towering Arkansas hurler,
he having lost to Warneke in the
opening game.
The Cubs made only eight hits
off Rowe, but Herman's triple
and Klein's homer were enough.
After Warneke had to retire,
Lee, who was knocked out of the
box in the third game, went to
the mound for the Cubs and bot
tied up the Tigers 9. He pitched
three innings and allowed four
hits and one run. He wasn't any
where near the brilliant pitcher
that Warneke was, but he was
good enough to stave off the
Tigers with two-run lead. After
Lee came into the box, the Cubs
added another run to their 20
| lead in the eighth. Billy urges
started this inning with a single
to left, and was sacrificed by Lee
to second. Augie Galan hit s a
bounder down the first base line,
which Marvin Owen let get
through his legs, and urges was
out attempting to score, Fox to
Cochrane. Galan pulled up at
