 Hank Borowy to return one more dividend today as they met the. Detroit Tigers in the seventh and
 final game of the richest world series in history.
 This time they were asking Q. little more than usual from Ford ham Hank for he was facing Hal Newhouser who, with 25 victories, won more games than any other pitcher in the major leagues this season.
 Borowy was going back to the, mound after only one days rest, whereas Newhouser has had two.s And Hank was shooting for soine- thing @ world series never has seen before-a victory while pitch ing his third consecutive game. J
 Hank was the losing pitcher in, the fifth game sunday-when Newhouse beat him @ to 4-and the winning pitcher in the l2-in- ing game Monday which brought the Cubs even with their American league rivals.
 Underdog
 And should he come through the betting was { to 3 hat he wouldn't - 1t would rank him with baseball's all-time pitching greats For only seven pitchers in history have won three games in Q world series, and FordhaIn Hank was guns ming for that third one today. In addition to Mondays victory, he has beaten Newhouser, g to 0, in the opener at Detroit Q week ago. None of them has pitched three in row.
 It wasn't because Hank hasn't already paid off on the ei00,000 which the Cubs paid the New York Yankees for him in mid-season that he was named to pitch today. Man- agcr Charley Grimm, in calling on the blue-eyed Polish righthander. was gambling with time and an old baseball jinx.
 The time risk came in sending Borowy back with such little rest. Tine jinx was the one which Ford. ham Hank long has held over the Tigers. before he was sold to the Cubs he had beaten the Tigers ii times while losing to them only three. And now with these two victories against one defeat in this series his lifetime mark against Dc. troit stands at i3 and {.
 ii and 2
 Grimm was confident Borowy would come through for him again Just as he did toward the end Of the season when he scored most of the important victories the Cubs needed to win the National league pennant. Ills Chicago record was Ii and 2, and one Of those triumphs clinched the pennant for tho Cubs aFid there was no doubt but what gorowy had already paid of on the si00,000 pennant insurance, Today the Cubs were seeking another dividend on the deal.
 Manager Steve O'Neiii of the Tigers was just as confident that. Prince Hal, who has come through for him SO many times when the chips were down, would not fail him now with baSeball'S richest prize ready to Do taken.
 T know Hal will do t." he said. And l hope Hank dreenberg gets the hit that will mean victory for he never should have been charged with an error on that play Mon- day
 That was when Stan Hack hit a line drive to left with pinch run. ner Billy schuster on first base and two out in the twelfth in. ming. The ball got by 0rOenberg and the official scorers ct first caiis cd it Q single for Hack and on. error for 0reenberg which enabled schuster to come oil the way homo with one of the most important runs iii q world series.
 oreenberg was relieved of the stigma when the scorers changed their mind and Hack was credited with . double. Hank, whose home. run if1 tho eighth sent the game into extra innings. wasn't enlarged with Q miscue, for tho bail took 2 queer bounce and scared over ms head just as he was set to field it.
