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.

HITS HOMER TO
CLINCH PENNANT
St. Louis, Oct. 1 (U.R) 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
berg the stick that made a
shambles of the St. Louis
Browns In one Inning yesterday.
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.

er said today that all world series

ment record of 261 strokes.

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.

and $1,333. He was 11 strokes
under par and the most consist
ent competitor, with 68, 69, 69
and 70.

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.

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.

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.
