Battling a stub born National League outfit, the Chicago- Cubs, the Tigers were forced to go the entire seven games before claiming the world’s base ball title. This series was packed with ex citement and thrills both for the fans and the players. Throughout the entire 7 game series players were thrilling the crowds with out standing plays. Infielders came up with sparkling fielding gems, out fielders made some great catches and throws, and the series was packed' with superb pitching. Cub Hurlers Tops Although the Detroit pitching staff was rated better than the Tigers, two Cub pitchers turned in the best games of the series. Hank Borowy, the ex-Yank, shut out the Tigers in the first game 9-0 on 6 hits; and Claude Passeau, veteran hurler, tossed the best game of the series, and also the best game since the world series was inaugurated 42 years ago. He shut out the Tigers 3-0 allowing them only one hit, a single by Rudy York In the second inning. The leading hitters of the series were Phil Cavarretta of the Cubs and Doc Cramer of the Tigers. Cavarretta belted the offerings of Tiger pitchers for a .423 average, obtaining 11 hits in 26 trips to the plate. Cramer hit .379 getting 11 hits out of 29 times at bat. Three homers were poled in the seven games. Greenberg of the Tigers hit two, on a three run homer in the second game, and the other a terrific smash ever the left field fence in the sixth game. Cavar retta hit the only Cub homer in the initial contest. Nicholson led all players in the series in the R.B.I. column by batting in eight runs for seven games. Greenberg was close on his heels with seven runs knocked in. Let us recap each game of the scries for you, hitting the high- 1 lights of the games in a short summary. First Game, Cubs Rival managers, Steve O'Neill of the Tigers and Charlie Grimm of ! the Cubs, stood pat on their pro- 1 vious choices for the opener. Hal Newhouser, Detroit's 25-game win- i ner faced Hank Borowy, the 540,000 star who won eleven for the Cubs, while losing' only two in the final two months of the Na tional League race. Newhouser was no mystery to the Cubs, for they jumped on him for four runs in the first inning. Two singles by Johnson and Cav arretta, a passed ball, Nicholson's towering triple off the right field wall and another single by Living ston accounted for the runs. The Cubs got three more runs in the third and two in the seventh when Phil Cavarretta homered. While the Cubs were piling up the runs, Hank Borowy was mowing the Tigers down with almost mon otonous regularity. He shut out the Tigers on six hits, walked five men, and struck out four. Cavarretta and Pafko were the leading hitters for the Cubs, garnering three hits in four trips to the plate. Mayo obtained two hits for the Tigers. Second Game, Tigers Virgil Trucks of the Tigers and Hank Wyse of the Cubs were the starting pitchers in this game. The Tigers evened the series by j winning 4-1. Trucks who had joined the Tigers the last week of the season, in time to make one winning start, held the Cubs to seven hits while Greenberg, discharged from the army July 5, crashed a dynamic home run into the left field stand with two on in the fifth after his pals had knotted the score at 1-all. The Cubs had taken a 1 to 0 lead in the fourth when Cavarretta con verted a legitimate single to center into a double by daring to Today marks the beginning of the “Civil War” betvveen two age-old rivals, the Webfoots of Oregon and the Beatf’ej'S of Oregon State. It is really very poor judgment, if vve. say. the Staters haven't a chance in making the seore very close, even if they don’t pull some magic out of the cap of Lou Sillier., Even though there is a shortage of transportation to Cor vallis, Oregon will be represented by a larger turnout than was expected earlier in the week. Six buses and also three trucks have been chartered for the trip north to college in the pleas ant little hamlet of Corvallis.’ Orangemen Add Tvvo A new prospect was added to the scene of today s game when it was announced that two new men may see action as alter nates in this classic struggle between the Orangemen and the Lemon and Green squads. They are Roger Anderson, 218 pound right guard who was a tackle on 1940 Beaver freshmen eleven and Norm Martinson, 205 pound left tackle who played on the 1942 freshman team. Both fellows have recently been dis charged from the army and still possess the qualities of a real fighting man. Webfoot Line Tough Although never in the lime-light as much as the boys in the backfield, Tex Oliver’s linemen have proved themselves every bit as good as a championship line should be. In the past little has been said of the front wall that makes it possible for the backs to look good, so on the day of the third conference game it is about time praise was given where it is due. So here is hats off to the “chain-gang.” 32 Stevens, Boh .... 55 Tunnison, Carl .. 61 Urio, Gilbert . 83 Wade, Keith . 45 Wheeler, Chris 82 Wilcox, Watson FB 187 6’ C 194 5’ 10” RE 160 6’ C 180 6'5” RT 181 6’ LG 194 '6’2" keep running in the face of the incoming Cramer who is some thing slower than old Dobbin who used to draw the family phaeton. Nicholson singled him home. Doc Cramer led the Tiger attack with three hits out of four trips to the plate, and Stan Hack of the Cubs had a perfect day at the plate, three for three. Third Game, Cubs Thirty-four-year-old Claude Passeau of the Chicago Cubs de livered the greatest pitching per formance of world series history when he held the Detroit Tigers to a single hit and turned them back, 3 to 0, in this, the third game of the 1945 classic. While Passeau was limiting the Tigers to a single hit by Rudy York and a walk to Bob Swift, the Cubs scored three runs off the offerings of Overmire and Benton. Peanuts Lowrey opened the win ning rally in the fourth by driving a double against the left-field screen. He moved' to third on Cavarretta's sacrifice. P a f k o walked and Nicholson dumped a short single into left-center to score Lowrey, Pafko stopping at second. Livingston flied to Cramer, runners holding. The fleet-footed Pafko scored on Hughes’ looping single into right, and Nicholson took second. Passeau ended the inning by striking out. Livingston’s double off the right field wall, another sacrifice, and Passeau’s long fly to Cramer in center field' produced the last Cub run in the seventh. Hack got a double later,in the inning, but died on base. Fourth Game, Tigers The series moved to Chicago for the fourth and remaining games. But this did not seem to do the Cubs any good for Detroit’s Dizzy Trout pitched them to a 5-hit, 4 to 1 defeat and also evened up the series at two games apiece. Ray Prim, starting Cub pitcher, wasn't around at the end of the game, being knocked out of the box in Detroit’s fourth inning up rising. Succeeding him in the order named were Derringer, Van denberg, and Erickson. Vanden berg and Erickson each pitched two : innings and held off the Tigers. A walk to Mayo, singles by Cramer and Greenberg, a double by Ciijlenbine, and another single by Richards accounted for all the Tiger runs. That ran the score to 4-0 &hich was just down Dizzy TroUt’s alley. Fifth Game, Tigers Bringing their vaunted power to the support of Hal NewhouSer, winner of 25 seasonal games, De troit’s America® league cham pions drove the.„first game jinks Hank^Borowy to the showers and movefj, into the series lead, three games- to a pairf on the wings of an 8 to 4, 7 hit, victory Oyer the cubs. "* '. A little of everything happened in today’s medley but Newhousers’ mates backed him with counting tallies and the southpaw choked off the Cubs and coasted into a victory., _ - Sixth Game, Chicago The sixth game of the series was a wild and woolly affair. The cubs came out on top by a score of 8 to 7, scoring the winning run in the last of the 12th inning on a single by Hack and error by Green berg which permitted Billy Schus ter to score from first. Seventh Game, Detroit The Tigers won the series when they broke the. seventh and last game wide open in the first 15 minutes and then coasted to a 9-3 victory over the Cubs.
