YdnksH Helped
Decide Flags
BY DAN PARKER

I Unable 10 finish higher than
fourth place in the American
4 League themselves, the New York
Yankees, nevertheless, decided
who would be the two contend
ing teams in the World Series
which opens here tomorrow.
BY selling Hank Borowy 10 the
Cubs in mid-season, they insured
the National League pennant for
Chicago Hank won II games for
the Cubs, including the one that
cllnchcd il last Saturday. BY
knocking off Washington in nine
out OF the last IL games between
the two clubs, the Yankees kept
the Senators from overtaking and
passing the Tigers.
BEATEN TO DRAW
If one wanted 10 60 back a bit
farther he could prove that the
Yankees clinChed Detroit'S 1941
American League pennant about
l5 years ago when Paul Krichell,
chief scout of the New York club,
was beaten 10 the fountain pen
draw by Jean Dubuc, Tiger ivory
hunter, when both we're trying 10
sign up a promising Bronx boy
named Henry Greenberg.
Twas the same Hank whose
homer with the bases full pro-
vided a Dick Merriwell climax TO
the hottest pennant scramble in
the history of the American
League Sunday afternoon in st.
Louis, by giving Detroit the one
victory it needed. when defeat
loOmed.
Because of the Borowy an d
Greenberg angles, the Sympathies
Of the New York fans in this
falls series will be as scrambled
as a mess of clearinghouse eggs.
BOTH BACKED
Many Yankee fans, who ordi-
narly would be with the Ameri-
can League team, will be pulling
for the Cubs because Of Hank.
On the other hand. any number
of Giants adhcrentSi from the
Bronx will be lined up behind the
Tigers out of loyalty TO Green
berg, the Crotona Parkway boy
who wasn't found wanting in
Sunday afternoons crisis.
As a matter OF fact, this series
will be harder to pick than store
teeth. Both contcnders finished
the season like paralytics. With
out the ample assistance they re-
ceived from other teams, they
never would have made it.
