Giants Rally
Misses Mark
BY LEO MACDoNELL

NEW YORK, Dec. 16-The
Green Bay Packers are again
the worlds professional football
champions.
They won the title for the third
time since the East and West
divisional playoffs were started In
1888 when they defeated the New
York Giants, Ia TO z. before a
crowd of 46,016, a record turnout
for the title game. at the Polo
Grounds yesterday.
The great crowd paid a gross
gate of more than S146, 900 to see
the contest, richest pool in pro-
fessional football history.
The triumph gave Western
teams q margin Of eight victories
to four in the intersectional series.
It was the New York clubs third
setback in seven such games.
BOTH BY FRITsCH
Both the Green Bay touchdowns
came In the second period after
the rivals in the first quarter
spent most Of their time in an
exchange OF punts. And, both
were achieved by Ted Fritsch.
Two long broken field runs by
the veteran Joe Laws and Fritsch
set up the first. With fourth down
and two yards to 60, II looked like
the Green Bays might try field
goal. But the Western division
champions decided to 20 for the
touchdown and Fritsch plunged
over his own right guard TO score,
Don Hutson kicked the extra
point.
The time was 2 minutes and &c
seconds In the period.
To show the Vests versatility
Frftsch at 13 minutes and 43 Sec
onds in the same stanza, took Irv
Comps beautiful pass and ran &c
yards for the second marker
Again Hutson converted and the
score was Ia to o in favor Of the
Packers. which was none toe
many points. later events proved
HUTsoN IS DEGoY
To score the second touchdown
the willy Packers used Hutson as
decoy, as they did against the
Lions in Detroit in the regular
season. With the Eastern pack
voting Hutson the player named
Fritsch alone in another ares
grabbed Comps pass and pro-
ceeded TO score unmolested. The
usually bright Giants were caught
double flatfooted.
Ward Cuff, veteran halfback
who gained the most yards run.
ming for his team yesterday
accounted for New York's lone
touchdown at the start of the
fourth period. With the heat
only three seconds old. Cuff
! plunged over from the 1-yard line
Ken Strong kicked the extra
point.
The marker was set up when ir
the fading moments Of the third
period Harold Livingston inter,
cepted a Green Bay pass anc
Frank Liebel raced Arnie Herber',
throw al yards TO the Packers
l-yard stripe from where Cuff
went over.
Spurred by this success, the
Giants in the remainder OF the
final quarter battled desperately
to overcome their opponents lead
but TO no avail. They couldn't

The Wings, trailing through the

GremIins Take
A. & W. 9 10 5
Four-Run Reilly
Helps in Sixth

Although outhit by a nine to
six margin, Gremlins came from
behind with a four-run rally in
the last of the sixth inning to
take the measure of A. G. W..
Root Beer and assure themselves
of finishing in first place for the
regular season. These same two
teams will engage in a two-out-
of-three-game playoff series be-
ginning Monday, August z.
A walk to LaForest, Streu's
single, a sacrifice and another
one-bagger by Servo put A. &
w. in front by one run in the
first Of the second inning, but
Gremlins bounced back with a
five-run cluster in their portion
of the second. Four Root Beer
misplays coupled with a single
by DuBay and doubles by Nose
ley and Allor accounted for the
quintet of markers.
A. G. w. tied the score in the
top portion of the fifth with a
four-run outburst. Streu, Golden
and Ballantine singled in success
sion before the first batter was
retired. Breiling then drew a
pass, j. Monte singled and an
error put Phillips on first al
lowing Breiling to follow the
first three men across the plate
That was the extent of the Root
Beer scoring, however, as the
final two putouts followed.
Bases on balls to Gallagher
and Stengel started the Gremlins
off on its winning rally in the
sixth. Moore singled to drive in
Gallagher and put Stengel on
third, and he took second on the
throw-in. Middleton flied to CEN
ter field and when a bad return
to the infield resulted, both
Stengel and Moore crossed the
plate. The last score in the in
ming was credited to c. Phillips
who slammed long home run
over the left fielders head.
Ten errors. were made by the
two clubs during the contest but
at times the fielding was spec.
tacular. Four double plays were
executed, three by Gremlins and
the other by A. e. w. Bob Streu
Root Beer left field, also came
up with two swell catches oil

eve did it, boys, we did it,"
Came the clear, triumphant cry;
From a fighting, scrapping ball
club
That could never quite say die
Though Andy's Texaco had lost
Every game they'd played,
They always kept on fighting
Til the final out was made
Despite all ridicule, they played
With all their heart and soul;
With grim determination, tried
70 reach their far-off goal.
The team had suffered twelve
defeats
And things looked black indeed;
But, somehow, something told
them that
This time they would succeed!
And when the game was over,
They gave out" a rousing cheer;
Their faces wreathed in happy
smiles,
For victory was here!
And Manager Jack Richards
Had realized his dream;
For Lady Luck had smiles, at
last,
On his fighting softball team!

Hal and Tex
DeadIo(ked
Al IS Wins
Red Sox, Tigers
Come Stymied
in Eighth Inning

DETROIT, July 27-(P)-A
Boston victory in the third
game of its current series with
Detroit today might enable
Cecil TEX Hughson to reach
the l6-victories mark ahead Of
Hal Newhouser.
The Tiger Southpaw was de-
prived of a chance at his 10th
triumph yesterday when dark
ness and rain halted play in the
eighth inning with the score
deadlocked at IL.
After three scoreless innings
Eddie Mayo started the fourth
for Detroit with a single off
Pitcher George Woods glove.
Mayo went to third on a base
hit by RACER Cramer and scored
on a long fly by Rudy Yory.
The Red Sox, who hadn't
garnered a hit off Newhouser N
the first six innings, knotted
the count in the seventh. Bob
Johnson worked the fourth
walk from the Detroit ace. Whsn
Dick Wakefield hesitated in
handling Bobby Doerr's single.
Johnson went to third and Doerr
to second. Jim Tabor's fly
brought Johnson home.
In their half of the seventh
the Tigers lost their best oppor-
tunity to give Newhouser the
game. With Chuck Hostetler on
second, Hal himself lined a
grounder back of second. Hos
teller paused after rounding
third when shortstop Skeeter
NeWsome threw late to first, but
even then could have scored if
he had selected TO slide under
catcher Roy Partee at the plate,
Partee lunged backward to tag
the standing Hostetler.
Boston threatened in the
eighth. Leon Culberson led off
with a single but was forced at
second on Joe Cronin's attemp-
ted sacrifice. Then after Pete
Fox, the former Tiger, sent Lou
Finney, who ran for Cronin, 20
third, Umpire Joe Rue called
time because of darkness. A
moment later the showers came
and he was forced TO call the
game, which will be replayed
