Hank's Big Bat Puts Detroit Into Series By HARMON W. NICHOLS ST. LOUIS, Oct. 1 (UP) The Detroit Tigers, famed for the brilliance of their pitching, ride toward a world series date with the Chicago Cubs today on the dark brown bat of Hank Green burg the stick that made a shambles of the St. Louis Browns. The Cubs clinched the National league pennant by defeating the Pittsburgh Pirates Saturday. The Tigers got good pitching, too, in their pennant clinching, 6 to 3 victory over the Browns on rain-soaked Sportsman's park field yesterday. But it was Green bcrg, the ex-army captain, who put them "in" with a bases-loaded homer in the ninth. Into Bleachers Nelson Potter had accepted the strategy of Manager Luke Sewell and purpossely passed Roger (Doc) Cramer, not to get at Greenberg, but to load the sacks and have a play at any base. The Biowns were leading, 3 to 2, and were within two outs of victory. Thirty seconds later Potter and Ihe Brownies rued their strategy. For big Hank parked one of Pot ter's fast ones high into the left field bleacher seats. It was his 13th homer of the year, but there wasn't anything unlucky about it except for the Browns and the poor Washington Senators who had been sweating it out for a week, hoping the Tigers would falter in the stretch. Climax Asked in the. dressing room what kind of ball Potter had thrown him, Greenberg sidestep ped the question nicely. "It was a baseball big and round," he said. "And I kinda liked it." The victory climaxed an uphill fight In Ihe game that might have Powerhouses Stand At Head of Football NEW YOHK, Oct. 1 (UP) The three pigskin powerhouses of 1044 Armyi Navy and Ohio State stood again at the head of the football parade today.

Had the Browns won, the second game, which was can celled, undoubtedly would have been played and the Tigers, with terrific pressure weighing against them, might have lost it too. That would have made the finish an exact tie between the Tigers and Senators, necessitating a playoff game today in Detroit. Elsewhere in the American lea gue, George Stirnwoiss paced the Yankees to a 12 to 2 triumph a". Boston that found them a half game short of lying the Biowns for third place.

Underdogs Come Up With Double Wins in Playoff By United Press The tables were turned Sunday in the Pacific Coast baseball lea gue playoffs and the underdog Scuttle and Sacramento teams came up with clean sweeps of doubleheaders against Portland and San Francisco. As a result, the three-game leads that both the Beavers and Seals enjoyed piior to Sunday's games have been washed out and both aggregations now are cling ing to shaky one-game margins. . The Hauliers saddled Portland with a 7-4 defeat in the first game and came back in night cap behind the slants of left hander Carl Fischer to register a 4-2 victory. Sacramento used .loe Wood, jr.. to handcuff the Seals in the first contest and Guy Fletcher made it two straight for the surging Sacs with a 5-2 tri umph.
