CHICAGO, Oct. 11.-Detroits
Tigers, champions of the American
League, now hold the world baseball
championship, too, and they'd better
make the most Of it. For neither
the Tigers nor Chicago's Cubs, Ma
tlonal League pennant winners who
were on the losing end of the late
but lamented World Series. likely
will get into the classic again for
some time.
And there will be no regrets by
the hackers Of either club after what
they've seen their favorites perpe-
trate under the guise of baseball in
the wacky round of games, that
wound up yesterday at Wrigley Field
with the Cubs going down for a 9-3
count.
In the memory of the oldest fol-
lower of World Series, never were
two worse clubs in opposition than
in the Seven-game set-to that got
under way right decently in a three
game section in Detroit, then went
to pieces as soon as competition was
switched to Chicago.
1t was so bad it would not be right
to say that the better club won. For
the Tigers looked worse than they
had through any series with Wash
lngton's Mats during the American
League campaign. And even in t. k
ing three of the five games of the
crucial series in Griffith Stadium
last month, the Tigers looked none
too good.
AS to the Cubs, well, after a
f1ashy beginning in Detroit, they
were bad. And as they played in
the series, the Cubs didn't look as
though they could have gone any
where in league like the Ameri-
can.
See st. Louis Clubs as Best.
AS many, who watched the Amer
lean League through the past sea-
son, maintained that the best club
didn't win the flag, so National
League followers at the World
Series asserted their circuits best
outfit failed to cop. They had
reference to the ST. Louis Cardinals
In fact, all hands agreed another
all-St. Louis series would have
brought out the strength of both
majors.
Series highspots were few, but
one was particularly notable. Claude
Passeau, 36-year-old Highlander
with the Cubs, turned in a magni-
ficent feat as he shut out the Tigers
with one hit. 1t matched a series
record set way back in 1906 when
Ed Ruelbach chucked a one-hitter
for the Cubs, only to have his
outfit lose to Fielder Jones Hit
less Wonders" White Sox.
There was nothing really spark
ling about the other winning pitch
ers. Even Hal Newhouser, who won
yesterdays decisive game, never ap-
peared as strong as when he was
moving down the Mats this year.
Dizzy Trout and Virgil Trucks of
the Tigers had their troubles after
each scored a win.
Hank Borowy, who had been
touted as one of the best in the
National League, following his sur
prising sale by New York's Yankees
to the Cubs in mid-season, won
his first game, but was ready to be
knocked out of it any time. He
was no better as he won the second
time after assuming a relief role
and in his two beatings he was a
terrific bust.
Some idea OF the kind of pitch
ing the series produced is found
i'll the statistics. The Cubs used
% pitchers during the seven games:
the Tigers employed Is. The Cub
pitchers yielded 81 hits and 80
bases on balls for 80 runs. The

DETROIT, Oct. 1.-THE Detroit
Tigers, dog tired but hilarious after
dragging down baseball's richest
prize by beating the Chicago Cubs
in the World Series, arrived home
just before / am. today to find
milling mob of fully 10000 fans
band and all--staging an i'm
promptu victory celebration in and
around Union Station.
Although the Tigers special train,
bearing the club home from Chi
cago, was more than an hour late,
the throng jammed the depot and
filled Fort and Third streets for a
block each way continued to swell
with pennant-waving, horn-tooting
celebrants even as the players were
hustled along police-lined aisle to
waiting taxicabs.
Pilot O'Neill Is Amazed.
Manager Steve O'Neill, who hasn't
had team in World Series since
he caught for the Cleveland In
dians' championship of 1920,
couldn't believe his eyes when he
first saw the wall of humanity
through which police blazed a trail
to the sidewalk.
There's nothing in the world
like it," ONeill marveled. Now
there's reception. They love us,
don't they?"
Wild cheers arose from the crowd
as their heroes came in view
ONeill, Newhouser, Greenberg,
Richards, York, Trout.
Players, many of them accom-
panied by their wives, grinned,
waved and yelled with the rest, but
were glad tQget out of reach of the
jostling crowd.
Interrupting the celebrating long
enough to grab a nights sleep, the
Tigers scattered to their homes to
reconvene tonight for an Official
salute at victory banquet sponsored
by the Detroit Board of Commerce.
Banquet officials invited 1000
privileged Tiger followers to dine
with their heroes-at $40 a plate.
Mayo Pleased for Steve.
Eddie Mayo, sparkplug second
sacker of the Tigers, summed up
the all-victorious season:
We're just an ordinary ball club,
but that knack of winning the
big" game consistently brought us
through. Look at Steve: It couldn't
happen to nicer guy"
Owner Walter o. Briggs, returning
on the train with the team. bore a
priced possession: The ball with
which Mayo took Skeeter Webb's
throw to force Roy Hughes of the
Cubs at second for the last out of
the seventh game. 1t was given him
by Mayo.
Catcher Paul Richards, batting
star of the payoff game, carried a
banged right hand on which the
little finger was broken by a foul
tip in the eighth inning.

Critics Aver St. Louis Clubs
Were Class Of Major Loops
Cubs Posseou Is Only Pitcher to Display
Outstanding Ability; Walks Big Factor

Tiger pitchers gave up 65 hits and
10 passes for 20 runs The Cubs
struck out %. The Tigers struck
out 48.
So it appears that when the Cubs
were not hitting, they were striking
out. And when the Tigers were not
hitting, they we're being walked to
first base And that was just about
the difference between the two
clubs.
That was the pattern of yester-
days game in which the Cubs got
10 hits off Newhouser, one more
than the Tigers cleaned of a Chi
cago pitching array that included
beside the starting Borowy such
chuckers as Paul Derringer, Hy
Vandenberg, Paul Erickson, Passeau
and Hank Wyse.
But the Tigers got eight bases
on balls while the Cubs got but
one, and only five Tigers were struck
out while Newhouser hurled 10
strikeouts. -Four times a Cub stood
with bat on shoulder as the third
strike whizzed past
The Cubs were a beaten band
before the first inning was finished
and they showed 1t all the way
They were beaten to the punch and
could not recover. That rout of
Borowy by three batters with each
hitting safely to produce run and
the punishment given Derringer be-
fore the initial round was over was
enough to dishearten any club. :
Find Borowy a Cousin.
Skeeter Webb, Eddie Mayo and
Doc Cramer leveled off on Borowy
then Hank Greenberg, first to face
the relieving Derringer, sacrificed
Charley Grimm, Cub manager. -or-
dered Roy Cullenbine walked to fill
the bases. And Just as such strategy
failed the Cubs before, it did in
the telling game of the series.
Derringer got rid of Rudy York.
but could not get the ball over with
Jimmy Outlaw up, so Outlaw drew
an unintended pass that forced
Mayo over the counting block. Paul
Richards went to two strikes. then
socked double to left to knock
across three more runs.
Richards, who hit two two-bae-
gers, drove in four runs during thee
engagement.
There was brief f1are-up by the
Cubs, but the 5-run handicap was
too much. After a couple of hits
had produced a first-inning score
Andy Pafko snuffed the rallv bv
drilling into double-play. Pafko
atoned for that in part by knocking
in the second Cub score in the
fourth inning. But the Tigers had
five runs by that time and Pafko's
hit that sent in the tally was a gift
from Cramer, The Tiger center
fielder, after badly misiudgine
Pafko's fly, let it fall 20 feet behind
him for triple.
Late in the game when New
houser obviously was tiring. the
Cubs picked up their last score. But
the Tigers had not been idle.
Passes given by the liberal Cub
hurlers and couple of hits were
good for Detroit tallies in the
seventh and eighth.
There was no stopping the Tigers
and it had been that way since the
series shifted from Detroit to Chi
cago for the last four games.
True, the Cubs won one game at
home, but they had to go to two out
in the 18th to do that.
The series closed with Don john
son doing what so many other Cubs
had done-forcing out a runner at
second base. Now all hands must
wait until next year and if baseball
can't promise anything better than
the l945 affair, another series then
would be too soon.

CHICAGO, Oct. 11.-This last
World Series had plenty of heroes,
perhaps more than any since the
post-season classic first officially
was established in 1905.

old catcher from Waxahachie, Tex,
was one. So was Roger Doc)
Cramer, center fielder of the new
world champions, who passed his
40th birthday in July.
Richards batted in four runs with
a pair of doubles in yesterdays de-
Gliding game. Cramer had a batting
average of .379 for the seven games,
batted in four runs and scored seven
himself.
There were others Hal New

BY JERRY LISKA,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

CHICAGO, Oct. 1.-THE saddest
man in town today is Manager
Charley Grimm of the Cubs who
was completely crushed by the Ii
gers World Series triumph.
When a guy like jolly Cholly, one
of baseball's most beloved personali-
ties, forgets to go to the dressing
room to congratulate winning rival
you know he's sick way down.
Grimm wasn't in the gang of
back slappers that rushed~1nto the
Tigers lair after their clinching 9-3
victory yesterday. Charley was COW
ering his sorrow with a grin in his
own clubhouse, trying to cheer UP
his battered Bruins.
But there was one moment he
didn't try to force smile. That
was when his 15-year-old son Bill
came and silently shook his hand.
Not a word was spoken as both
strove manfully to hold back tears.
1t was bitter gall for this affable
manager, who once before had lost
to those same Tigers in the 1885
series and whose 1882 Cubs were
belted out of the lot by the Yankees.
He wanted to win this one more than
he wanted anything in his life. 1t
would have been a brilliant climax
to a thorny managerial career.
For seven years-from 1882 to 1888
-Grimm's Cubs never finished in
the second division, but he walked
the plank in 1888 and tumbled into
the American Association as boss of
the Milwaukee Brewers. Then, with
the 1914 season scarcely underway
the Cubs called him back. Charley
forgave and forgot. He had the
Bruins on the upgrade last year and
this season cajoled, joked and
schemed them to the National
League pennant.
Then came the creaking, laconic-
fielding Tigers and clawed the big
gest baseball bubble of his life into
a loud, heart-rending pop.
Steve O'Neill knows how I feel,
explained Grimm dolefully in his
dressing room. I'VE had a long talk
with each other before the game
I'll have a wire waiting for him in
Detroit"
The scalpers got scalped yester-
day. Scores of them met buses. ele-
waited trains, streetcars and cabs as
game time approached, demanding
upward of $25 for box seats. After
the game started, their prices plum
meted to established prices and some
finally started giving them away te
servicemen.
