George Case was patient man at

George Case was patient man at
bat last night and because of it the
Mats were to square off against De-
troit's Tigers this afternoon only
half game off the American League
lead at the start of the series ex-
pected to determine a pennant win
ner
Clevelands pitchers generously
contributed seven bases on balls and
Case waited out the pitchers for
three of those with the third pushing
the Mats to much-needed 6-5 win
in the maddest ninth inning at Grit
fifth Stadium this year.
The Mats went into their final
batting turn trailing by two runs
and their cause looked lost. The sit
uation was made more desperate
when Buddy Lewis hunted and was
thrown out, but hopes were raised
when Joe Kuhel tripled and scored
on a single by Cece Travis. Along
came George Binks to single and
move pinch-runner Joe Zardon
with the potential tying tally to
third base.
Cihocki's Error Costly.
Here Cleveland substituted Pitcher
Pete Center for Ed Klieman. Rick
Terrell, first to face the new pitcher,
drew a base-flling pass and imme-
diately gave way to Pinch-runner
AL Evans.
Then the Mats got a break. Gil
Torres shot double-play ball
straight at the Indians shortstop
but Al Cihocki fumbled and Zardon
crossed to deadlock the game. Here
Mike Kreevich was sent up to bat
for Al Carrasquel, but Center threw
a third strike past Mike

Third Pass to Case Forces Run
ToGive Mats Win Over Tribe

That brought up Case, and George
patiently waited while Center threw
the ball all around the plate When
the fourth ball sent Case trotting
to first to shove Binks across with
the big run the 1925 in the stands
really let go.
Through eight and a third in
rnings the Mats appeared hopelessly
beaten. The Tribe had grabbed
three runs off Pete Appleton in the
first round when jeff Heath homered
over the right-field barrier with
two mates on the runway. Apple
ton yielded another run in the third
and Marine Pieretti gave up still
another in the fifth.
Reynolds Is Fortunate.
While all this was going on, Allie
Reynolds was getting by with near
murder on the hill for the Indians.
The Mats kept hitting him and he
kept walking them, but not until
the seventh did their attack get
them anywhere. Then passes to
Case and Lewis, a single by Kuhel,
an error by Dutch Meyer, the In
dams second sacker, and double
by Binks built up three runs. That
is where Klieman came on.
The Mats had made nine hits and
cleaned five walks off Reynolds.
But they left II men on base.
After Pieretti, Santiago Ullrich
came on for the Mats for a two-in-
ming pitching turn; then Carras-
quel took over in the ninth to get
credit for the win
The Mats used II players to grab
the game. They just had to have it.

CLEVELAND, Sept. l5.-Cleve-

the National Football League clubs
would be as easy to beat in cham
pionship play this season as they

With that win tackled on the con-
secutive 2l-to-0 victories over the
Pittsburgh Steelers and the Wash

as a top-flight contender in the
championship fight. The three
games were exhibitions, but the
Rams showed plenty of power and
flnesse.
Waterfield was the games busy
boy, firing three touchdown passes
booting points after touchdown
and adding a 35-yard field goal for
good measure.
Never in danger, Cleveland led
TO at the quarter, 2l-7 at the halt

sion. The Rams outgained the
Giants 269 yards to Is on the
ground, and 1874 to 1876 through the

Megogo Likely Choice

Special Dispatch to The Star.

LAUREL, Md, Sept. 15.-The
builders of the Bowie racing plant,
the late James F. O'Hara of Balti-
more and Gadsden D. Bryan of
Atlantic City, were to be honored

the entries. but the Christiana sta

From 1922 to 1912 the BRYAN
OHara was run at Bowie, but when

in 1e43, and was transferred here
last year There is some talk of

sportsmen built.
The $4,000 Eastern Shore, to-

stake at Havre de Grace and also
was moved to Pimlico when the
Hartford County course closed down
along with Bowie. 1t was trans
ferred mere last year and in all
likelihood will return to Havre de
Grace next fall.
The Eastern Shore field probably
is the poorest since the event was
lnaugurateo and no one here seemed
20 know the reason. Of the six
nominees, Mythman, Pied Piper and
Hamu1 also were nominated for
the second race on the card, and
if more than one of them actually
starts in the second, the Eastern
Shores prestige will be crippled.

BUFFALO, N. Y, Sept. l5.-This

Buffalo because in a vigorous civic
battle for playing dates at Munich
pal Stadium Canisius College and
Sam Cordovano, former George

won decision over Promoter
Charley Murray. Murray is the
man who imports National Football
League teams for exhibition games
here.
Latest word from the City Council
is that CaniSiuS, which introduced
Sunday football here, will have first
choice of dates and the All-Ameri-
can League team will have next call.
Cordovano said the club would play

Either Club Can Win
Flag by Capturing
a Of 5 Contests
BY JACK HAND,
ASsociated Press Sports Write


Baseball's big series of l945 Is at
hand as Detroit invades Washington
for a vital five-game set that should
determine the American League
winner.
If either the Tigers or the Sena-
tors, who trail the leaders by only
a half game, can sweep the series or
take four of the contests, the race
will be over for all practical pur-
poses.
After the Bengals leave town Mon
day night, the Mats will have only
five games to play and Steve O'Neill's
gang, which has been on top since
June IL, will have but eight more
to 60, four each with Cleveland and
st. Louis.
Neither side can afford to hold
back a thing in the seasons first
real crucial man-to-man test, al
though Detroits list of "cripples"
includes Hank Greenberg, Eddie
Mayo and Hal Newhouser. All three
may see action in today's double
header, but none of the trio is at
his peak.
Both Have Close Calls.
Both contenders had tight squeaks
yesterday. the Tigers downing Phila-
delphia, 10, in game cut to five
innings by rain and decided by one
lucky run. Washington had to come
up with three in the last of the
ninth to trim Cleveland, 6-5.
Bob Maier scored the lone tally
OF the Tiger's-As tilt, twisting past
Buddy Rosar to score just when il
appeared an attempted squeeze play
had been foiled by Dick Fowler

out of the baseline and pointed tc
his footprints, but Umpire Art

Mueller gave the Mackmen only two
hits in the five heats.

from Boston, Al, Tightening their
grip on third place via Jack Miller

but instead lost full length.

for three in the seventh inning to
