Tigers Trail Cubs, II
In Past Big Series;
First Was in 1907
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-The World
Series between the Cubs and Tigers
will be the fourth time that the two
teams have opposed each other in
baseball's classic.
The first meeting was in 1907
with the Cubs sweeping four
straight games, another ending in
tie. The Cubs won again in 1908,
four games to one, but the Tigers
came through with a Al trip-lph
in their 1885 clash.
The league championship was the
Cubs 18th since the senior circuit
was founded in 1876 and enabled
them to break l5-all tie with the
Giants.
1t was number eight for the
Tigers, one of which was achieved
in the National League when Mus
tachioed Bill Watkins led the 1881
team to a flag.

Griffs Plan Grand OverhuuIinq
When All Servicemen Return

their first base well cared Tor.
Mickey Vernon is expected to re-
turn from the Navy, but in service
he has been playing in the outfield
instead and reports indicate he has
developed into a corking fly chaser
as well as a strong hitter.
Griffith looks for Gerald Priddy
to resume at second base after re-
lease from the Army. But Priddy's
return would not throw George
Myatt, sparkplug of the Mats, of
the squad. Myatt would be retained
for use occasionally and as part
time player.
Cece Travis is banked on for third
base, for Griffith and Bluege believe
a winter of rest and training in
Florida will rejuvenate the player,
who was sent back to the game too
quickly after getting out OF khaki.
For a time, those in charge of the
Mats thought of moving Travis to
short and restoring Buddy Lewis to
third, where he played through sew
eral years. But Lewis does not relish
the idea of leaving the outfeld.
Should Stan Spence return, he
will resume his job in center and
George Binks probably would be
placed in left. That would make
George Case one of the extra out
fielders, of course, but brittle legs
have made him an uncertainty.
Ferrell viii Return.
Rick Ferreu is coming back, but
probably to do more than coach
ing than catching. Rick, at 50
and with II seasons behind the
bat, has toiled far beyond the
average span for big league catch
ers. It now seems that Jake Early
still in service, and Al Evans will
be the more active members of the
1916 corps.
A new pitching staff will be built
around Roger Wolff, the Mats 20
game winner; Mickey Haefner
Dutch Leonard, Walter Masterson
and Marino Pieretti. Expected tc
return from military service are
Sid Hudson, Early Wynn and Rae
Scarborough. All qualified as big
leaguers before the draft got them

players will be around next year
Washington's 1916 team ought tt

surprisingly finished second after

CHICAGO, Oct. IAN American
League castoff very conceiyably can
be the difference when the Chicago
Cubs and Detroit Tigers get together
In the World Series starting Wednes-
day.
He's slender, blond, taciturn Hank
Borowy, who Larry MacPhail of the
New York Yankees said couldn't win
ball games after the Fourth of July.
MacPhail asked for waivers on the
wire-armed, right-handed pitcher
and when he had no takers, Borowy
wound up with the Cubs.
Cub fans-and all the Cubs, too
have been singing his praises ever
since. He made the difference" in
Chicago's pennant drive, Manager
Charley Grimm AYERS. He's won ii
and lost 2 games since joining a
kclub that bounced from eighth place
to fourth under Grimm's tutelage
last year, and rocketed out of fifth
to first last July-before Borowy
joined them.
His acquisition, in Grimm's own
words, meant the difference in win
uing or not winning the flag. The
Cubs went into first place July 8
At that time the veterans, Claude
Passeau and Paul Derringer, 38-
year-old Ray Prim just up from the
Pacific Coast League, and Hanky
Wyse were carrying the pitching
burden for the Cubs.
They needed help. Borowy's mys.
terious waiver out of the American
League July 28 was the answer
The Cubs won by three games
Borowy had given them II victories
Not only that, but when he joined
the club he gave Grimm perhap.
the best pitching staff in either
league-a factor that can decide
the World Series.

at Detroit Wednesday. Grimm has

American batting title with three
hits in New York's 1872 romp over
Boston, advancing to .309, one point

who was rained out of final dou-

Yanks finished fourth, lowest since
1925, and worst in the Joe Mccarthy

CHICAGO, Oct. 1.-The Cubs
are In another World Series.
They haven't won one in IS
years, although we should have
beaten the Athletics In 1929 when
we had one game in the bag, 80,
in the seventh and got beat, and
another put away, 20, in the
ninth, and lost it, too. This time
I pick the Cubs to win in six
games.
My choice is based upon two
things, first: The Cubs haves a
better balanced club and greater
pitching depth and, second, they
beat more formidable opposition
to win their pennant. The Card
inals were far and away the
toughest outfit for any team to
lick this season and sthe Cubs
beat 'em in important games.

ards, the Tigers did not look as If
they were potential champions of
the world yesterday. Going into the
ninth they were trailing, 3 to 2. and
it looked as if Nelson Potter and the
Browns were going to return the
favor that Washington did for them
a year ago when the Senators beat
the Tigers, to /, and gave the flag
to st. Louis.
Then Potter got himself into
trouble, filled the bases, and threw
the wrong pitch to Hank. BY the
narrowest of margins was it fair,
but there was no doubling the power
of it. And that was the ball game.
Wild-eyed Tigers. 20-strong, rushed
to the plate to await Hanks circuit
and pummel him.
1T was the greatest thrill of my
life" said Greenberg, later. 1--WE
hit home runs before, but never one
like that. I don't even know what
sort of pitch Potter threw. I just
swung and connected"
At the time it looked as if there
would be a second game, but then
the rains came down again and the
nightcap barely was started when
the umpires called it. There were
deep puddles in the infield all after
noon and, if it were not for the i'm

For the Tigers, Greenberg's homer
made it an especially happy victory,
1t enabled them to answer the cry
that they were backing into a PEN
nant. Not that anything really mat
tered except getting a shot at the
World Series gold, but still it was
more pleasant to win legitimately.
The Browns went all out. Potter
