hurler, off the mound with five hits
and as many runs in the second
inning, the Detroit Tigers went on
to win the first game of the World
Series here this afternoon.
The score was 7 to 2.
Not a Derringer Day.
1t wasn't Derringer day and it
took the Tigers only two innings
to prove it. The Detroiters went
out in order in the first innings, but
the next time they looked at Big
Paul they went to town. scoring
five runs on five hits. a base on
balls and two Cincinnati errors.
Greenberg, first to bat in the Sec
ond inning singled sharply to left
and York followed with a single to
right. Campbell dumped a bunt
down to third base and Werber was
charged with an error when his
trow pulled Second Baseman Eddie
Joost. covering first, off the bag.
With the bases loaded and none
out, Higgins singled to center to
drive across two runs. Sullivan
walked. again filling the bases. New
som forced Campbell at the plate
for the first out, but Bartell and
McCosky singled in succession, max
ing it so and ending Derringer
chores for the day Moore replaced
him and got the side out without
further damage. although he got
little help. Whitley had picked Bar
tell off second. but Myers dropped
the ball for an error. 1t didn't make
any difference. Ten Tigers went to
bat in this inning, Greenberg hit
ting twice.
Buck Has Fast Ball.
Newsom opened with a blazing
fast ball and good control. With one
out in the first inning Mike Nc
Cormick swung late and dunked a
double down the rght-feld line,
but nothing further developed. With
two out in the second Joost. also
swinging late, singled and was forced
by Myers Not until the third did
the Reds find any sort of range.
Goodman started this round. in
which the score was cut to ST.. The
Cincy outfielder doubled sharply TO
center and scored when Ripple sin
gled to center after Frank McCor-
mick popped out. Newsom got out
from under when Wilson hit into a
side-retiring double play.
The Tigers got mad again In the
fourth. 1t started tamely enough,
Greenberg taking third strike,
but some of that long-range power
seeped out when York tripled
against the right-field screen and
Campbell slugged Moore's rext
pitch over the same screen and into
the bleachers for home run, up
ping the count to I'll.
