New York, Sept. 17 CUR)
Barring a baseball miracle, the
Detroit Tigers and Chicago Cubs
were "In" today as 1945 major
league champions.
Although baseball Is a sport
where "anything can happen,"
it would take sim ultaneous
"once-in-a-lifetime" comebacks
by the Washington Senators and
St. Louis Cardinals to overtake
the current leaders.
The Tigers were In front in
the American league by two and
a half games and the Cubs held
a four-game margin in the Na
tional, but Detroit, despite of the
narrower margin, has the more
secure position at the moment.
Senators Muff Chance
The clock apparently struck
midnight for Washington in the
ninth inning of the second game
yesterday when they had a
chance for a double win. The
Nats had beaten Detroit's ace,
Hal Newhouser, 3 to 2, coming
from behind after the Tigers
made two unearned first inning
runs. But Detroit took the sec
ond, 5 to 4, when Paul (Dizzy)
Trout came in to quench a two
run rally In that fatal ninth.
Washington had made it 5-2 in
the eighth to deprive Al Benton
of a shutout and in the ninth got
two more on singles by Buddy
Lewis and Joey Kuhel, an infield
out and an error. When Gil Tor
res singled to put men on first
and third, Trout came in and
ended the game by disposing of
dangerous Mike Kreevich on an
infield out. Benton was the vic
tor although Tommy Bridges and
George Caster both worked be
fore Trout stopped the fire.
Cubs Take Two
The Cubs won two from the
tough Dodgers at Chicago, 3 to
2 and 4 to 2. It was their 18th
double header victory of the sea
son for a new major league
mark.
The lowly Phils, who have
won nine games from the Cards,
gained a split at St. Louis. They
won, 4 to 3, when Manager Ben
Chapman pinch-hit two runs in
the ninth with a single, lost, 10
to 3, as the Red Birds made 15
hits, four each by Augie Ber
gamo and Emil Verban.
The Giants and Pirates, bat
tling for fourth, split at Pitts
burgh. Elwin Roe pitched a 3 to
2 win for the Bucs after which
Jack Brewer got 13-hit support
to win for the Giants, 9 to 2.
Cincinnati missed a chance to
take sixth from Boston by split
ting with the Braves. Boston won
the opener, 4 to 3, when Whitey
Wittelmann singled with the
bases full to climax a three-run
ninth inning. Frank McCormick's
double and Al Lakeman's single
gave the Reds a 5 to 4, 11-inning
victory.
Chandler Wins
Spud Chandler won his own
game with a two-run single to
give the Yanks a 5 to 4 edge
over the Browns at New York
after St. Louis won the first,
8 to 2.
The White Sox won two at
Boston, 5 to 3 and 6 to 1, by
taking advantage of inept Red
Sox fielding. I
Philadelphia, 3 to 0, Steve Gro
mek pitching a five-hitter for his
17th victory, the Athletics took
the second game, 7 to 5.

I In 1932 Union Oil came out with a new gasoline called
76. We made quite a fuss about it. So did you. For it was
demonstrably better than other gasolines on the market
-so much better, in fact, that our sales went up by leaps
and bounds and new dealers joined us by the hatful
If we were to put out that same gasoline today, only
13 years later, it would lose us customers and dealers. For
by modern standards it was of a quality a good deal lower
than what you're accustomed to now, and you'd recognize
the difference instantly. The fact that your sights have
been raised so, in only 13 years, is due largely to one
thing-competition.
People were more than satisfied with our 1932 gaso
line -in 1932. If no improvements had been introduced
you'd be satisfied tvith it today. For you would know of
nothing better to compare it with. But competition would
not permit us to stand still.
For each of us knew that if we could put out a
product a little bit better than the rest of the industry we
could get more business. Consequently, even the company
that was in the lead kept constantly searching for im
provements. Progress from year to year was gradual - as
it always is.
aYe But In 13 years that total progress was considerable.
Now if the oil business had been a monopoly - private or
governmental -it is doubtful if this would have happened.
For there simply aren't the incentwes to better your prod
uct when you already control all the trade.
6
SO as Ions as there's room for imnrnvemenr in an
industry ,the only way to guarantee maximum progress is
to have an economic system that guarantees maximum in
centives. Our American system with its free competition pro
vides these to a degree no other system has ever approached.
