 Detroit, Mich, oct. 8 - (UP) . Henry Ludwig Borowy, a meek ana mousy little man, twisted the tail oi Tiger today in an attempt to wir baseball vindication.
 The thin-faced Polish lad witt the polite and self-effacing air will brave the focus of thousands of eyes as he goes to the mound in bulgine Briggs Stadium to pitch for the Chi cago Cubs in the opening world series game with the Detroit Tigers
 It's far more than a ball game to this tow-headed youngster from Bloomfield, N. J.
 Young Hank, as he is known to the trade, will pitch his heart out in this one. For it's 9 chance to pay Q debt and even old scores.
 Borowy is an American Leaguer carrying National League hopes in this all-important game which will give the winner the jump t oward the classics gold and glory. Until as late as last July 27, Hank was a front-line hurler for the once- mighty New York Yankees.
 He was a pitcher at New York,s Fordham University when Yankee scouts spotted him and chose him for a starring role in what at that time was baseballs greatest dynasty. That was when the young collegian had a record of 24 victories against one defeat.
 They put him in the Yankee chain, starting Hank of with their important, star ar-developing club at Newark in the International League, just one brief step away from the house that Ruth built. And after three successful seasons there, 1t was up to the Bronx Bombers for the sinewy kid with the blazing fast ball and the sharp-breaking curve.
 Three. years he was headliner, pacing those slipping Yankees to perlnantS in 1922 and 1943 and win 1. ming more than his share when the rrstwhile Ruppert rfles fired dud In 1914. That second pennant year he hurled a Yankee series victory as New York stopped the tigh-dy- Ing Cardinals.
 Sold To Cubs
 Then came the blow. Larry Mac- Phail came out of the Army to head syndicate which bought the ; Yankees and immediately started a. wedding process. Every club in the American League, of course, was in- terested in Borowy but had failed 50 many times to get him. So 1t was a midsummer shock when Borowy found he had been waived rnyster- tously out of the league and sold to the Cubs for $l00,00O.
 He went quietly. But Fordharn Hank didn't like 1t too well. He had won 10 games for the Yankees against five losses and MacPhail in- dicated that the youngSter was bun1-a 'non-winner after rnid-sea- son"
 Hank threw that in their face by winning Il games for the Cubs against two defeats. And one of those victories was the one which iciinched the pennant for a team which wisely had purchased him as "pennant insurance"
 Nov he goes against an old rival, Q Tiger team which he has beaten II times in IA attempts, and he's taking them at their best and against their ace hurler. For out there on the hill against him is Hal Newhouser, the major leagues lead- ing winner.
 You bet I'll try" Hank said quietly in the familiar Briggs Sta alum dressing room. They're no tougher than when I've beaten them before--so I see no reason why can't do 1t again."
 He'll be a real happy guy if he succeeds.
