Cubs Even Series By
Downing Tigers, 8-7
CHICAGO, Oct. 8 (UP)
Chicago, Cubs, taking advant
age of an error by Hank
Greenberg, evened the world
series at three games apiece
when they defeated the De
troit Tigers, 8 to 7, in 12 inn
ings. ...
The tally was scored by little
Billy Schuster, a pinch runner,
when Greenberg let Stan Hack's
single go through him. Earlier,
Greenberg was theDetroit hero
because he hit a home run which
sent the game into extra innings.
No Play
Schuster already had slopped
at second. But when big Hank
failed to come up with the ball,

Tokyo was seeking peace terms

Fourteen urns containing the
ashes of the fliers arrived by

urns and records accompanying
them confirmed the executions
and identity of the fliers. The rec
ords showed the fliers were put
to death last Juno lfl. Their
names wore withheld pending
notification of next-of-kin.
Raids on Formosa were carried
out largely by fliers of Gen.
Douglas MacArthur's far eastern
air forces from Philippines bases.
Also aboard the plane from For

of $580,000 for
little Billy tore for home.
There wasn't even a play at the
plate and Hack, too, could have
scored on the error.
It was a wild ball game with
first one team and then the other
playing like bush leaguers.
For a time it seemed the Cubs,
behind the veteran Claude Pas
seau, were going to have an easy
time of it, for they knocked the
Detroit starter, Virgil Trucks, out
of the box in a fifth inning rally
that netted four runs and gave
them a 4 to 1 lead. They increas
ed it to 6 to 1 and then 7 to 3 be
fore Passeau, suffering from an
injured finger, ran out of gas.
Second Win
It was Borowy's second victory
of the series. He won the opener
at Detroit Wednesday and lost
the fifth game here yesterday.
Both managers, Steve O'Neill and
Charley Grimm, shot the works.
O'Neill sent five pitchers to the
I mound .while Grimm used four.
The Cubs, in all, used 21 diflcr
ent men the most ever in a
world series game.
It was fitting Hack hit the ball
which eventually meant the ball
game, for he had been anything
but an aid to the Cub cause be
fore the payoff single. He had
made two of the three Cub er
rors and otherwise had conduct
ed himself in a manner which
would probably have made him
the goat of the series.
28 Hits
The Cubs made 15 hits olf De
troit pitching and the Tigers
came up with 13. Detroit kicked
in with two errors.
In the 12th, Secory, an Iowa
farm boy, batting for Merullo,
singled to center and Schuster
was sent to run. Borowy struck
out, and then Hack fouled one
pitch, look a ball, and then fol
lowed with another foul, before
he connected. Schuster knew he
was a dead duck if ho tried to go
any farther than second, if Green
berg came up with the ball. He
had come to a dead slop, and
when he saw the ball roll behind
Greenberg he : must have set a
base running record.
