natty In a brown suit and sporting the Cubs' world series us agreed that he had been at fault, that if he had played the ball safely he would have captured the ball, the freakish bounce notwithstanding. Hack was credited with his fourth single, more singles than any player ever made in a world series game. Greenberg was charged with an error. Schuster's run thus became technically unearned and Hack was not scored with a run batted in. The Arguments Begin Persons closer to the play than the official scorers were interviewed and Raid the ball unquestionably had hit some object that Greenberg did not have a chance to stop it-There were arguments that the scorers should not violate a precedent by changing their rulings.

Scorers, like umpires, usually stand on their rulings, even'tho they may be convinced by a preponderance of evidence they have erred. In 'regular seasons, the official score often changed after talks with players in-, volved. But this was different. BY ARCH WARD SALUTE to Stanley Hack, a Cub who delivers when the chips are down. It was Hack who yesterday put his team in front in the fifth inning with a single when the bases were jammed.

And it was Hack who again delivered in the with the A 'wi Phil Cavarretta. Cub captain, falls getting away from a wide pitch by Pitcher Virgil Trucks in the fourth inning. Big Leaguers Rally Behind Chandler; Kill Ouster Rumor Mickey Livingston, Cubs catcher, out at second base after he tries to advance after Skeeter Webb, Tiger infieldcr, made a throw to First Baseman Rudy York in the second inning. Tiger catcher blow that broke up one of the wildest games in world series history. The contest set a record for number of players used.

Each team employed 19. The traffic between both benches and home plate looked like State and Madison at the rush hour. The game also broke the time record for a world series engagement. The previous mark was two hours and 54 minutes in the 1941 event, but when Hank Greenberg retrieved Hack's drive that got away from him in the 12th inning, three hours and 28 minutes had elapsed. The Cubs charged into their dressing room with as much spirit as if they had won the series, Manager Grimm's first words were praise for Hank Borowy, the winning pitcher, who came back with only an overnight rest.

Hank worked six innings Sunday. Borowy said he had better control yesterday than he had Sunday, especially against Greenberg. Grimm also gave Hack a heavy pat on the back for his timely single. Hack said he banged a low curve ball on a hit and run play. Bill Schuster, who raced from first to home on the drive, said he never had run as fast in his life before.

Len Merullo had two cuts on his left arm where he was spiked by Joe Hoover in a play at second base in the 11th inning. Claude Passeau's third finger on his right hand was black and blue from a split nail incurred in fielding Jimmy Outlaw's line drive in the sixth. He said he was unable to control his pitches thereafter. The Cubs will not work out today, Grimm said. They will put in appearance at the park for their tickets to tomorrow's game and call it a day.

a The Ecorers agreed, after the evidence was in that Greenberg had been improperly cast in the goat's role. They ruled that Hack had hit a double and that Greenberg, the great Greenberg, had not erred. As one of the three official scorers, who joined with his two colleagues, in unanimously charging Greenberg! with an error, this observer, never suspecting that whether or not a ball Paul Richards took the rebound from the boards behind first base lapel pin, said he was attending BY IRVING VAUGHAN time to catch Livingston.

On from there the tale is of a four run rally by the Cubs in the fifth inning to become a 5 to 1 Chicago lead with a run added in the sixth inning.

Injury Stops Passeau For a time it appeared the game would proceed to a more or less routine finish an easy Cub victory for Claude Passeau and the Cubs. This reckoning began to crumble when it became apparent that Passeau continued to suffer from an injured ment that there was no basis for published reports that an effort would be made to buy off the commissioner's seven-year contract. Happy Still Smiles And the commissioner who attended yesterday's sixth world series game, merely smiled and spoke softly when asked if he could name the ringleaders in the anti-Chandler movement. He said he prefers not to think that any of his 16 employers are involved. After the meeting, at which the two New York clubs and Washington were not represented, copies of a prepared statement were passed out and beyond this none of the baseball officials would comment.

The statement follows: 0- 5 0 0 tans who strolled by or staked claims to stations near the ticket windows. One fellow said he was a Cub stockholder and inquired concerning special consideration. Another one. from Waukegan. offered Andy a six pound fish if he could use his influence.

Agrees to Announcement Before making any announcement of the meeting and the action taken, the owners, thru President Ford Frick of the National league, contacted Chandler. Until then he hadn't heard of the latest development in the smear campaign. He agreed that there was no objection on his part to public' announcement of the meeting.

That's especially true of pitchers, he says. Hank Greenberg won't have to worry about a job when his playing days with the Tigers are over. He has purchased a Ford agency in Brooklyn. Claude Passeau clung to his long standing superstition before yesterday's world series game. As always, he refused to pose for camera men on the day he is scheduled to pitch.
