M. was full of flying fruit, apples, oranges, bananas and beer and pop bottles, the fruit squashing and breaking into little bits, the ugly brown and white bottles striking the turf and rolling over and over.

I watched the crowd and Medwick and the missiles through my field glasses, and It was a terrifying sight. Every face in the crowd, women and men was distorted with rage. Mouths were torn wide open, eyes glistened and shone In the sun. All fists were clenched. Medwick stood grinning with his hands on his hips, just out of range of the bottles.

A green apple rolled to his feet and he fielded that too. Umpire and attendants rushed out to left field and began picking up the mess. Medwick came back to the dia-Please Turn to Page 18 Column 1 Visions a Good that course across from the Michigan Stadium. And while I'm there 111 atop in and have a little cry with Kipke." Within a few days Mike will leave for Honolulu with Mrs. Cochrane.

Others who will make up the party are Al Simmons, Chicago White Sox outfielder, and Mrs. Simmons, and Cy Perkins, Mike's assistant coach. Cy and his boss talked things over for a while. They discussed the game and then began making plans for the trip. Mickey seemed anxious to discuss it.

Cy is like many other of the Tigers. Like Denny Carroll, Cy wanted the Tigers to win more for Mike's sake than any other single thing.

9 (A.P.) While a diamond battle in Detroit brought Joy to Jack Rothrock, St. Louis Cardinal outfielder today, a diamond battle of another type came to life here. Miss Jackie Coogan, Boston show girl, filed suit in Suffolk Civil Court for the return of a diamond ring valued by her at $500 which she alleged she entrusted to Rothrock in New York two years ago during a party in her honor. According to Miss Coogan, a writ was served on Rothrock a month ago, while the Cardinals were playing In Boston and he promised to retur the ring within 36 hours. Instead, she charged.

Rothrock brought a counter action. Dizzy Toys with Bengals While St. Louis Pounds Five of Six Detroit Hurler Used By Charles P. Ward THE St. Louis Cardinals won the baseball championship of the world Tuesday in one of the wildest World Series games ever played.

Manager Frank Frisch, of the Cardinals, sent Dizzy Dean, his ace hurler, against the Tigers, and Dean blanked the Tigers, 11 to 0, and had a lot of fun doing the blanking. Manager Mickey. Cochrane used everybody on the Tigers mound staff except Carl Fischer, Luke Hamlin and Victor Sor rell. If the game had lasted a little longer he might have sent them in. Elden Auker, Schoolboy Rowe, Elon Hogsett, Tommy Bridges, Fred Marberry and Alvin Crowder pitched for the Tigers at various times during the wild afternoon.

The Cardinals met them with a barrage of basehits which included triples by Joe Medwick and Leo Durocher, and doubles by Frisch, Jack Rothrock, DeLancey and the incomparable Dean himself. The game almost broke up in a free-for-all fight when Medwick kicked Marvin Owen after sliding into third base in the sixth inning. While sitting on the ground, Jersey Joe took two kicks at Owen's stomach and started the melee. Tigers and Cardinals came running from the dugouts shouting angrily. Medwick and Owen had a slight scuffle but the umpires soon restored order before anybody was hurt severely.

Game Takes a Recess But the crowd which had been watching the Cardinals' rough and tumble baseball tactics throughout the series, would not permit the uproar to die out so easily. When Medwick attempted to take his position in left field at the start of the Tigers' half of the sixth, the indignant proletarians sitting in the bleachers greeted him with a bombardment of oranges, lemons, bananas and a pop bottle or two. The demonstration continued for 17 minutes. Then Judge Kenesaw M. Landis, high commissioner of baseball, restored order by dismissing Medwick from the game.

Chick Fullis took his place in left field and the crowd settled back to see the battle through to the bitter end. The collapse of the Tiger pitching staff might be blamed for the Tigers' defeat, but it hardly deserved the blame. The cause of the setback was a four letter word meaning trouble for batsmen. The word is Dean. Beaten by the Tigers last Sunday, Dizzy came back today and gave a greater pitching performance.

The Tigers didn't have a chance. To have gained even a tie the Tiger hurlers would have had to pitch shutout ball. And none of them was up to that yesterday. Dizzy Lot of Fun The Cardinals presented Dean with a comfortable lead Joe to Blame, Medwick Ban Wasn't to Appease Crowd By M. F.

Drukenbrod The next time Joe Medwick decides to take a kick at an opposing player he probably will look around to make certain that Kenesaw Mountain high commissioner of baseball, is not within sighting distance. Commissioner Landis, from his box near the Cardinal dugout, saw the St. Louis left fielder attempt to kick Marvin Owen following Medwick's slide Into third base In the sixth inning of Tuesday's game. That. Judge Landis explained after the game; was why took things in his own hands and banished Medwick from the game.

He said that It was not done to appease the wrath ot the fans In the left field bleachers, who held up the game about 15 minutes while showering Medwick with fruit of every description ana pop bottles when he attempted to return to his position after the kicking incident saw Medwick kick at Owen," Landis said, "and his act warranted punishment. That is why I ordered him out of the game. At the same time Landis ex plained that he is always anxious to bavo both teams at full strength in a World's Series game, and that for that reason before each Series he instructs the umpires to leave players In the game "whenever they can decently do so." Apparently, though, the Commissioner regarded this as one time it couldn't be done "decently" and accordingly took the action he did. "I knew that the umpires were thinking of my instructions when Medwick kicked at Owen," Landis said, "and for that reason did not order Medwick out themselves." Landis didn't order Medwick from the game until Joe had made several efforts to take his position in left field, only to be chased back by tbe missiles tossed by the bleacher fans. Then Landis called both Medwick and Owen, as well as the two managers and the umpires, to his box.

After questioning them Landis ruled MeawicK out oi tne game. "When I called them to my box." Landis said, "I simply asked Medwick if Owen had done anything to him or if there was any reason for his kicking at the Detroit player. To both questions Med wick answered Thereupon I Please Turn to Page 18 Column 8 Cry with Kipke are more popular with their squads than is Mike Cochrane. The rest of the Tigers took their beating with better grace than any of the other three during the Series as expressed by Goose Goslin: "We gave 'em all we had so give the Cards credit" There were many Tigers who thought Marvin Owen showed great judgment in not striking Medwick when the latter kicked at him when sliding Into third base. Other' Tigers thought Marv had a right "to let him have it right in the teeth." Dei Baker, assistant coach who was in the third base coaching box at the time, was indignant "Medwick was sliding into the Pleate Turn to Page Column 4 ot the world.

Riding along on the rubbery, loose-jointed arm of the daz By Paul Gallico The dizziest, maddest, wildest and most exciting World Series game played In recent years began with a seven-run batting rally In the third inning that gave the Cardinals the championship of the world for 1934, broke up in one of the wildest riots ever seen in any ball park In the sixth inning, and wound up, of all things, with the sppctators engaging in an old-faRhioned pillow fight in which for a half hour the populace stood around and hurled seat cushions at one another. For the first time that I know of, the crowd forced Commissioner Landis to remove a ball player from the Twenty thousand people massed a-elant in the left field bleachers turned into a deadly and vicious mob. Only the barrier ot a steel screen and locked gates prevented them from pouring into the field and mobbing Outfielder Joe Medwick of the Cardinals, who bears the incongruous nickname of "Ducky-Wucky." Medwlck's Triple Starts It In the sixth inning, with Pepper Martin on second and two out, Medwick hit a tripln against the centerfield fence and slid into third base. Marvin Owen stepped on him, but whether by intent or accident no one could tell: But there was no Medwick's ideas as he lay on the ground on his back and suddenly began lashing out at Owen's legs with his spiked feet. One-two-three, his feet flashed.

and then he kicked with both together like Joe Savoldi. Then they were at one another with Bill Klem in the middle. The eoaches stepped In. The other players ran over, and what is known as "cooler heads" prevailed. Cards Leave Dugout The Cardinals swarmed from the dugout, a red mob, but returned immediately.

Klem must have seen provocation for Medwick. for neither man was punished. Medwick held out his hand to Owen. The Tiger third baseman refused it petulantly and returned to his station. Medwick remained on third, and scored on Collins' single.

Delancey struck out, ending the inning. The teams changed places on the field, and without the slight-. favorite pop. He grinned a little. "Well," he began, "it's been a tough Series.

Dizzy was good today. He had a lot of stuff and we just couldn't stop him. But while we were taking a beating we took a good one. "Yes, my leg felt a little better, but it was Just the wrong day for the Tigers. All the boys have worked hard this season but none any harder than little Tommy Bridges when he was in there today.

He was pitching his head off. He's a lion-hearted ball player." Mike turned around on his seat and fondled an excellent set of golf clubs held in a very large felt-lined leather bag. "Walter Hagen sent them to me," Mike said. "I am going to take them out to Ann Arbor and play on ling Dizzy, they cut their way to the front through six Tiger pitchers and a wild and savage barrage of beer bottles, oranges Mickey Takes It and other implements of fruit, wood, iron and glass thrown from the left field bleachers that for 20 minutes turned the seventh game into a woolly riot that looked like the two Battles of the Marne, with Verdun and Tannenberg thrown in. Slingshot Dizzy slaughtered six Tiger pitchers, 11 to 0, in this final foray of flying spikes as he held the enemy to six scattered hits for the closing triumph of the Dukedom of the Deans.

But it remained for Ducky Wucky Medwick, the Cardinal Cossack, to steal a big part of the show and start one of the neatest young riots that any World Series has ever known. The Vesuvian explosion that came near blowing up the ball game took place in the sixth inning. Spikes Gleam and Riot Is On Ducky Wucky had just tripled and driven Pepper Martin over with the eighth Cardinal run. Medwick slid into Marvin Owen at third with the speed of a runaway horse. The impetus carried Owen from his feet and as they collided and fell together Medwick threw a pair of shining spikes at Owen's legs, and the riot was on.

When Medwick started for his place in left field at the close of the inning, he was greeted with a salvo from the howling left stands, 17,000 in number, that quickly littered up the field and sent the Cossack from New Jersey into a hurried retreat. For 20 minutes the enraged bleachers laid down a barrage that ight have stopped the charge of First Division or the Prussian Guard. The sunny autumn air was a whirling mass of missiles, fired from a 200-yard front, and the blue autumn skyline was almost Please Turn to Pane Column I. when they scored seven times in the third inning and from then until the finish, Dizzy just threw the ball up there and had fun. He let the Tigers get six hits in the last six innings, but when they threatened to score he just r'ared up and threw the ball past them.

And when he caused them to strike out or pop up he laughed. By Tod Rockwell GORDON STANLEY COCHRANE, Tiger leader, walked smartly Into the dressing room after the final World Series game Tuesday, and sat down in the wire cage surrounding his locker. For a moment he remained there looking into space, then he went into the Cardinal quarters. Manager Mike, striding with dignity, walked over to Frankie Frisch, the Cards' boss. "Congratulations, Frankie," Mike said.

"Thanks, Mike," was the reply. The Tiger, boss was brief, but sincere. After shaking hands, he left and came back to his locker.
