Tigers, Cubs Establish
New World Series Marks
The Detroit Tigers are the new
World Champions of the Major
Leagues for 1945. 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.”

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

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.
