TWO MEDFORD MAIL-TRIBUNE Monday. Oc!. I. 1945 World Series To Open At Detroit Park Wednesday Detroit, Oct. 1 (U.R) Jolly Cholly Grimm headed for De troit with hl banjo on hii knee today, playing a world series so nata that had a Mississippi farm er and an Oklahoma welder tun ing up for a lead role In his Chi cago Cub championship sym phony. And on year late, after blow ing the 1944 American league pennant In the rival American league, Irish Steve O'Neill was leading his Detroit Tigers home, figuring that his Peck's Bad Boy, Hal Newhouser, would strike a sour note In the symphony when they clash Wednesday in the opener of baseball's first post war classic. Cubs FaTored Tha odd makers figured that Grimm's tune would be the best for they made the Cuba 7 to 5 to win the first game and 2V4 to 1 to win the series. So O'Neill decided that New houser, who had been his clutch man all year long, would be his pitcher for Wednesday's opener. His record 23 victories against only nine defeats was enough to win O'Neill's confidence. Grimm, on the other hand, de cided to sidetrack his "pennant insurance" Hank Borowy, who pitched the clincher against Pitts burgh Saturday. Grimm Undecided But the left-handed banjo player, reconteour, and one-time great first baseman, said he would go with either Henry Wyse, a 22-gama winner or Clyde Passeau, veteran of tha major league pitching wars. The Cubs were favored, too, for they were in all-around bet ter shape than the worn and weary Tigers. Three of the Tigers' big guns, second baseman Eddie Mayo, hard-hitting Hank Greenberg and pitcher Dizzy Trout, have been hampered with Injuries and may not be at their best for the series. Not only do the Cubs figure to have deeper pitching strength, but they rate as the heaviest hit ters, too, although they haven't seen very much pitching of the type that Newhouser will show them. At any rate, It will be a sell out series. All tickets for the first three games here and the re maining ones in the best four out of seven series, which will be necessary at Chicago have been sold out. So have the hotels. The situation In Detroit reached such a stage that two lake steamers operating between here and Cle veland were converted Into "floating hotels" to handle the overflow. RANGERS WIN Hollywood, Oct. 1 (U.R) The Hollywood Rangers, top profes sional football team on the Pa cific coast last year, today looked forward to another championship season, after opening with a 26 to 7 victory over the Los Ange les Mustangs at Gilmore stadium. The first postoffice In the United States was organized In 1691, under a royal patent grant ed to Thomas Ncale.

The Cubs clinched the Nation al league pennant by defeating the Pittsburgh Pirates Saturday. Tigers Halt Browns The Tigers got good pitching, too, in their pennant clinching, 8 to 3 victory over the Browns on rain-soaked Sportsman's park field yesterday. But it was Greenberg, the ex-army captain, who put them "in" with a bases loaded homer in the ninth. Nelson Potter had accepted the strategy of Manager Luke Sewell and loaded the sacks to have a play at any base. The Browns were leading, 3 to 2, and were within two outs of victory. Thirty seconds later Potter and the Brownies rued their strategy. For big Hank parked one of Potter's fast ones high into the left field bleacher seats. Yanks Fourth Elsewhere in the American league, George Stirnwciss paced the Yankees to a 12 to 2 triumph at Boston that found them a half game short of tying the Browns for third place. Cleveland and Chicago went at rV for four innings in a double header at Chicago before rain caused cancellation of the slate. Record Set In the National league, Eddie Stanky of the Dodgers set a new circuit mark for bases on balls during a single season when ha coaxed his 148th walk out of Pitcher Hugh Mulcahy as the Dodgers topped the Phils, 4 to 1. That surpassed a previous mark of 147, set by Jimmy Sheckard of the Cubs in 1911. The Giants beat the Braves at Boston, 1 to 0 when Nap Reyes got a homer In the 13th and the second game ended in a 2-all seven-Inning tie. The champion Cubs made it a clean sweep in their final series with Pittsburgh, winning 5 to 3, while the Cards went 12 Innings before beating the Reds at Cincinnati, 3 to 2. (By United Presi) Thm tnhlna ur 4ot-no4 tm. day In the Pacific Coast baseball league playoffs and the under dog Seattle and Sacramento teams came up with clean sweeps of doubleheaders against Port land and San Francisco, as a result, the three-game leads that both the Beavers and Seals ehioved nrlor tn Knnrt.iv'e games have been washed out and Dom aggregations now are cling ing to a shakv one-ffnm mar gin. The Rnlnlers saddled Portland With a 7-4 defeat in th fi. game and came back in the night cap Denina the slants of left hander Carl Fischer tn r.oltlnr a 4-2 victory. Sacramento used Joe Wood, Jr., to handcuff the Seals In the first contest, 4-1, while Guy Fletcher made It two straight for the surging' Sacs with a 3-2 triumph in the finale. The semi-final series resume today In the same parks. Tne winners of the best-out-of-seven games will clash for the cham pionship in a series expected to begin near the end of this week.

Lillard has signed another double main event for the star studded card. Rough Rufus Jones, who gathers more dis taste with fans each week, will lock grips with Georges Dusette, the clever full nelson expert In one-half of the twin bill. In the other half Jack Lips comb, detested coast champion, takes on equally-tough Harold (Blood and Guts) Davidson. All World Series Games Will Start At 1:30 P.M. EST Chicago, Oct. 1. U.R) The of fice of the baseball commission er said today that all world series baseball games would start at 1:30 p. m., eastern standard time. The same starting times for Detroit, in the eastern time zone, and Chicago, in the central time zone, came about after the De troit city council voted to revert back to standard time with the elimination of war time while the change in Chicago was from central war time to central day light time, which are the same. Chicago did not turn Its clocks back an hour because a local ordnance, providing for daylight time in the summer is effective until Oct. 28. Green Bay Whips Bears, 31 to 21 New York, Oct. 1 (U.R) Don Hutson, holder of the world's rec ord for coming out of retirement, was back on the Green Bay Packer roster today, and unsur prised National football league opponents marked the defending champion Packers as the team to beat on the basis of their 31 to 21 conquest of the Chicago Bears. In the only other league game yesterday, the Cleveland Rams Indicated they may be the chief challenger to the Packers by trimming the Chicago Cardinals, 21 to 0.

F 27 UNDER PAR TO Portland, Ore., Oct. 1 U.R) Benny Hogan, the little golfing wizard from Hershey, Pa., today sought new courses to conquer after winning the Portland open with a new all-time PGA tourna ment record of 261 strokes. Hogan chopped 27 strokes off par 288 for 72 holes, his four day total being two strokes bet ter than Byron Nelson's previ ous record of 263 in the Atlanta open this year. Nelson, the na tional champion from Toledo, O., could do no better than trail Hogan by 14 strokes, although his 273 at Portland would have won most tournaments. Hogan collected 52,666 In war bonds and Nelson $1,866 of the $14,333 in prize money. Port land put up the richest purse in the west. Nelson's golfing partner, Har old (Jug) McSpaden of Sanford, Me., shot a 277 for third place and $1,333. He was 11 strokes under par and the most consist ent competitor, with 68, 69, 69 and 70. Shoved back into fourth place was defending Champion Sam my Snead of Hot Springs, Va. He was even with Nelson until the closing rounds, when his sub par 69 was only good enough to collect $1,068. Bill Welch of Spokane, nation al public links titleholder, won the amateur's cup with 294. Most of the players left for Tacoma, where the $10,000 open starts Thursday. 0live fesS Barber's Letter During the harried years of family rearing, I used to console myself with the thought that once tha boys were grown and gone, I could slow down. Instead of swallowing Life In undigested gulps, I would take it loiteringly; let each event linger on the pal ate of my consciousness until I had extracted even its most sub tle flavor. But instead, the older I get the more Life nips at my heels, urg ing me to an ever-increasing speed. Each year finds me hump ing along a little faster, one duty accomplished giving room for two more so that now my normal speed is a dog trot from early morning until late at night. ' Now a plump matron forever in a hurry is comical rather than pathetic. I realize this and feel no happier for the realization. Do all housewives, I wonder, have to quit pickle making be cause they are called to the ma chine shop to help Install an en gine in a logging truck? No mat ter if my part was only to guide the cumbersome, greasy affair to Its place, Just the same the pick les had to wait. The creak of the supporting cables frightened me; the winch threatened to pull loose; my nose tickled but when I asked permission to scratch it, I was told to postpone it until we got the thing-a-ma-jig fitted Into the what-ever. Of course, I sneezed. The results were rather devastating. Try to can huckleberries and you see the cow is making for the corn patch. Our cow has a one track mind. All the cows we have ever had have been firm characters. An hour later the fire had gone out. Well, since it had, called a voice from the ma chine shop, why not take a few (?) minutes off and run to town for a frog. Or was it a spider. What I got was neither. Can a logging truck leer? Well, this one did. But while in town 'and with engine grease on my nose and huckleberry juice on my hands, of course I met the mayor. And got the mail. In this was a letter from an elderly gentleman who said he tvas coming to see us "for a week of quiet, country living." And a request that I speak to a group of women: "In these hurried times, we need a bit of your gen tle philosophy; a glimpse into your peaceful way of life." And at home, the new cat had taken to the top of the tallest tree where she alternately smirk e,d and spit at my offerings of a saucer of cream and hamburg. The rats in the attic could die of old age, for all of her. The fire was out. The cow had again got in the corn. The mechanic in the machine shop needed a help er. "The last of life for which the first was made," I fumed, de liberately handing the mechanic a wrench instead of the pliers he had requested. ACQUITTED, TO DEPART Albuquerque, N. M., Oct. 1. (U.PJ John V. Short, a 25-year-old commercial photographer, was preparing to leave Albu querque within the next few days to "start a new life some where else" after a district court jury early today acquitted him of the "dark room" poisoning of his young wife. STRIKE ENDED Pueblo, Colo., Oct 1 (U.R) A one-day "vacation" at the Colorado Fuel and Iron Com pany's Minnequa steel plant here was at an end today as nearly 8,000 workers were scheduled fo return to their jobs and await the outcome of a war labor board hearing in Denver.
