had beaten th Cuba , last Thursday.
Frank Secory had pinch hit a tingl while batting for Short
stop Len Merullo after Catcher Dewey Williams had gon out,
Schuster, running for Secory, scored on Hack's double. .
Hack's hit drilled through short and on ino left field. Hank
Greenberg, who had tied th score with hia second homer of th
scries during a four-run Tiger rally in the eighth, miiplayed th
ball and it rolled through him for an error, enabling th sturdy
Schuiter, who was running for Secory to com all th way
around, as th ball bounded to th left field wall.
Silly Exhibition
That was the end of as silly a I
world series exhibition as prob
ably ever has been played, not
the least peculiar feature of
which is that the total of 37 play
ers used by both clubs and the
total of 19 used by the Tigers
both broke previous records for
a fall classic. What's more, the
three hours and 28 minutes it
took to complete the goings on
was far more than the previous
"slow" of two hours and 54 min

Dodgers needed for one of their
1941 tussles.
Hank Borowy, clubbed out of
the box in yesterday's fifth game
after winning the opener, was
the Cubs winning pitcher, send

three walks. Hack was the hero
of this rally, too, his single

TRIAL IN GERMAIUY
LONDON, Oct. 8 (P) The
British air ministry announced
today that Rudolf Hess had left
England in an RAF plane this
morning for Frankfurt on the
first leg of a Journey to Nuern
berg, where he will stand trial
as a nazi war criminal.
The erstwhile number two
nazi, who parachuted down on
the Scottish moors in May, 1941,
was driven from his place of de

and attendant, and an official of
the allied war crimes commis
sion. Formalities at the airfield
were auickly completed and

the plane leave at 8:50 a. m.

arrived, it was burned out al

took part in the mutiny were

Eyes to the floor, Kramer
Insisted he did not know who
ordered the prisoners shot.
He described the Polish camp
at Oswiecim as "a camp which
I did not wish to enter."
His defense attorney, Major
Thomas C. Winwood, asked him
to explain why in his first state
ment he said he knew nothing
of gas chambers and in a sec
ond statement said he knew the
mass execution facilities ex
isted. '
Bound On Oath
"In the first statement, I was
bound on oath to my superiors
not to reveal . facts about the
gas chamber and not even to
admit their existence," Kramer
testified. "The first statement I
made in Belgium at a time I
did not know the true state of
the war. The second statement
was made at a time I was no
lonner honor bound not to re
veal about the gas chamber be
cause Hitler and ilimmicr were
