Ward Charley Gehringer and Lou Gehrig waged a battle for hatting honors during the last American League campaign, and while Larruping Lou carried off most of the honors the Tigers' star second-sacker emerged from the melee with a good share.

According to the American League official averages released today, Gehrig won the individual batting championship with a mark of .363, led in home runs with 49 to his credit and hit for a total of 409 bases to top all other players in this department of play.

We never knew before last year. We know that if we hustle and fight all the way we CAN win. And that helps a lot. "You have heard it said," he continued, "this or that team is a money team.

A feature was the celebration of "Red" Grange Day by the fans, but his play lacked some of the old-time zip and an alert Lion defense crashed through to intercept one of the redhead's forward passes in the third. The Lions' only score came with cnlv a few minutes of the final period left. Coach George Halas sent in Bull Doehring, the Bears' southpaw passer. He was dumped for a couple of tosses and the Lions finally took the ball on downs on the Bear 40.

Only two plays were needed to produce the consolation touchdown. Presfnell flipped a pass to Lumpkin for seven yards and on the next play, broke through the left side of the Bear line, worked himself loose end scampered 33 yards for the score. He added the extra point on a place kick. With the field soggy and slow, hoth teams started hunting a "break" at the outset. Most of the first period was devoted to trading kicks, and from this campaign, resulted the opportunity for the Bears' first score.

At this point, Nagurski assumed charge, with plenty of neat block-in? from his cast. His first blast resulted in a 15-yard gain. Three more plunges by the former Minnesota star gave the Bears a first down on the Detroit two-yard line. The Lion forwards stopped him the next time, but his next drive carried oveil for a touchdown.

2 (A.P.) New York's Americans strengthened their hold on third place In the National Hockey League's International Division tonight by defeating the Chicago Black Hawks, 2 to 1, before 11.000 spectators In the Chicago Stadium. The defeat cost the Stanley Cup holders a chance to regain first position in the American section, leaving them tied with the idle Boston Bruins. The triumph also was the Americans' second straight over tha Hawks, the star-spangled crew having won, 2 to 0, at New York last Thursday. A two-goal assault In the second period, along with a great exhibition of goal tending by Roy Wor-ters, were the elements jn the New York victory. With Art Coulter off the ice for tripping, a five-man wave scored In 9:55, Dave Schriner converting a pass from Eddie Burke.

About seven minutes later, Harry Oliver snared the puck near the Chicago blue line, skated around the Hawk defensemen and bounced a high shot past Lome Chabot.

Dec. 2 (A.P.) The brazen notes of Navy's "victory bell," horse from 13 years of disuse resounded over the Severn River today. The Navy football players, returning. from Philadelphia, to be greeted by a howling mob of midshipmen and civilians, each rang the bell three times, signifying the margin of victory over the Army. The bell, which is rung only on the occasion of an Army defeat, was presented by the Emperor of Japan to Commodore Matthew C.

Perry when he opened Japan to the world in 1854. Every 15 minutes since the midshipmen regiment returned to the Naval Academy early today, a plebe has rung the bell thirteccn times. This was because Navy's thirteenth victory in the service series came after a wait of 13 years In the thirteenth minute of the first quarter of the game. A roaring mob escorted the football players to the academy and yelled for speeches from the stars of the game. Capt.

Dick Burns, of Willmar, raised to the stand on which the bell was fixed, exploded: "Dammit, we won!" Fred (Buzz) Borries, Louisville, the All-America halfback, was as modest as ususj. "I don't feel any too good to make a speech now," he said. Said Slade D. Cutter, the big tackle from Oswego, 111., who kicked the field goal that won the game: a dry day we could have beat 'em, 23 to 0." Navy's Triumph Climaxes One of Grid's Great Years Tulane's Conquest of Louisiana State Is High Point of South's Football Warfare By Jack Carveth Detroit's Red Wings, outluckei more than outplayed in dropping a 3-2 decision to the Maple Leafs in Toronto a week ago. rose up and smeared the Leaf before a near capacity crowd of 12,000 spectators at Oiympia last night, 3 to 0.

and in so doing, administered the first reverse in nine starts to Conny Smythe'ft Stanley Cup hopefuls. The Red Wings, playing smart, aggreaive and methodical hockey, turned bark every thrust of the powerful Maple Leafs who came here flushed with eight succesive victories and a commanding lead in the International Division of the National Hockey League. It was eight days ago that untimely and perhaps undeserved penalties cost the Wings a deserved victory over the Leafs in Toronto. There was none to dispute the Wings' superiority last night as they played the brand of hockey prescribed my Manager Jack Adama and emerged with a victory as decisive as it was deserved. Two are Standouts Out of a great battle of speed and stamina emerged two young fellows who stood head and shoulders above the rest of the cast.

They were Ralph (Cooney) Weiiand, who scored the first Detroit goal late in the first period, and Doug Young, who after playing a great defensive game for the Wings, showed the bi(f crowd a perfect piece of finishing around goal to tally the Wings second goal with six minutes to play in the third period. Weiland's goal was the result of the finest piece of passing ever executed by a Detroit team and a perfect shot by the little center-ice star. Capt. Ebbie Goodfellow and Johnny Sorrell relayed the puck back and forth twice before Good-fellow made the pass to Weiiand while Frank (King) Clancy and Bill nonet of the Leafs were serving penalties. The pass to Weiiand was on the left wing and Cooney.

with only a couple of inches to shoot at, whipped a perfect shot that wu waist-high and nipped the far corner before the veteran George Halnsworth could lift his arm. The famed Bill Cook-Frank Boucher-Bun Cook combination never gave a passing exhibition equal to the Goodfellow-Sorrell-Wclland act of last night Every pass was perfectly timed and accurateand had not either Goodfellow or Sorrell been left In the clear, there was Larry Aurie and Herble Lewis parked out ready to receive the pass. Leafs Left Fiat-Footed The Wings' other two goals, the first one scored by Younjr on a beautiful play six minutes from the end, and the other by Johnny Sor- reii, little more than three minutes later, were the result of trapping the Leafs in the Wings' defense zone. Both scorers were In the clear and had only the goal-tender to beat and they finished up their plays In a manner that left Goalie Halnsworth helpleos. Young's goal came a few seconds after young Tommy Anderson had booted a wide open scoring opportunity.

Anderson had only Halnsworth to beat but he shot straight at the goalie. The play was carried to the other end of the ice where Young brought Ken Doraty to an abrupt stop. He broke away In the clear, faked a shot from 10 feet out that brought Hainsworth to his knees and far to his right, and then Young flipped the puck into a wide open cage aa Hainsworth lay stretched far out of his goal. Sorrell's goal was much like Young's. Long John batted the puck down with his hand on the left wing as the Leafs were unleashing a five man drive.

He raced after the loos? puck, picked it up in the clear and found Eddie Wiseman racing along side of him with only Hainsworth to bar their jaunt to a goal. SorrelPcould have passed to Wiseman but instead bluffed a pass and with Hainsworth pulled to the far side of the net. hoisted the puck into the near corner left unprotected. Wipes Out Past One It was a convincing victory for tne wines ana a vaiuaoie one. it wiped out that tainted victory the Leafs cored in Toronto a week ag and offered further evidence that the Wings victory in the Stanley Cup playoffs was merited.

It showed that the Wings were superior in the two games played between the clubs this season by an appreciable margin.

"Last year when we headed East on a road trip, the conversation would be something like this: 'We have 17 games to play on- this trip. We ought to be able to win at least 10 of We made ourselves believe we could win that many." Then he smiled and said, "And we usually did." a THE same spirit prevailed during the game, Greenberg pointed 'out. "Last year we weren't satisfied to keep the score close." he remarked, "we fought all the harder to win the close We played a different style of ball. We would try to "squeeze" runners home, playing for the run that would tie up the game and give us another chance to come out on top. "It was Mickey's fighting spirit that made this so and we all became imbued with the Idea that we could You know what happened.

We came through and won the pennant. We got the "feel" of being winners. We became "money" players and that spirit will carry us through again. I have not the least doubt of it" Before leaving Greenberg recalled his first meeting with Cochrane a meeting, he said, that changed his outlook on the Tigers' prospects a year ago. "I never had spoken fo Mickey," he recalled, "when he was made manager of the club.

I was down at Miami. One afternoon I received a phone call from him. He said he wanted to see me and I went over to meet the new boss.

Gehrig took second honors to Gehringer in the manufacture of base hits, with 210 and ranked third in run scoring.

Both Gehringer and Bill Werber of the Boston Red Sox outranked Lou in Scoring, Werber counting 129 times to lead Lou by one tally. The team batting championship went to Mickey Cochrane's champion Tigers who made a thorough job of their triumph. In addition to being the only club in the circuit to .300, the Tigers were supreme in six other departments. They led in runs scored with 958, in hits with 1,644, total bases with 2,321, in two-base hits with 349, in stolen bases with 124 and In runs driven In. They batted in 872.

Only two members of the Tigers' regular cast failed to bat .300 or better. They were Bill Rogell and Pete Fox. Bill missed the select circle by only four points while Pete missed it by 15. Ranking next to Gehringer In the batting race was Hank Green-berg, who pounded the apple for an average of .339. Manager Mickey Cochrane finished up with a mark of .320, Marvin Owen .317, Jo-Jo White with .313 and Goose Goslin with .305.

Even Schoolboy Rowe, a pitcher, was up among the big shot sluggers. He batted .305 in 51 games. Hank Greenberg came close to the League two-base hit record, Averages Are on rage 15 making 63, while Ben Chapman, of the Yankees, topped the League in triples, making 13. Base running honors went to Bill Werber, of the Red Sox, who pilfered 40 sacks to beat out Jo-Jo White, of the Tigers, who stole 26. White was the most consistent base-runner however.

He was thrown out only six times while Werber became a putout victim 15 times. Batting was generally better last season than the season before. Thirty one players who played in 60 games or more who batted 60 or better aa compared to 22 in 1933.

Everything was inverted. Blacks were white, whites were black, and the gray men running on the field shining with mud and water looked like the negative film one sees run through in the cutting rooms of the newsreel studios. But the prettiest trick of all was played by the crowd shortly before the Btart of the game when the sun was blotted out by black clouds that came whirling down out of the West, fore-unners and messengers of a cloudburst.

With the first slanting dash of rain the massed winning spirit. Well, that's what the Tigers acquired last year and it will carry us through again. Mark what I tell you." THE big Bengal first sacker hesitated a moment and then continued. "Here's an example of what I mean. Two years ago, my first as a regular with the club, when we went East, the fellows would sit around and figure something like this: 'We have 17 games on the road.

If we win eight of them we will be doing pretty good. The same was true when we got into a game. We played to keep the score close. If we won, alright. If Stanford in the Rose Bowl.

As an added measure of satisfaction, there was the Associated Press All-America first team rating for two of Minnesota's greatest stars, Pug Lund and Frank Larsen, and a place on the second team for Bill Bevan. Pittsburgh, beaten only by Minnesota and the only eleven to give Bernie Bierman's Swedes a real battle, was generally Tated the best the East afforded, particularly after Colgate's tremendous difficulties downing much-trounced Brown Thanksgiving Day, 20 to 13, while Pitt was slaughtering Carnegie Teeh in the Panther season final. Yale, big three champion, was as tough as any when the bell rang for the Elis a week ago. Temple's Hope Doomed Thanksgiving Day, bringing many teams to the end of the trail Thursday, likewise brought the Big Six title to Kansas State in victory over Nebraska, the Southern Conference championship to Washington and Lee, doomed Temple's Roue Bowl hopes in a scoreless tie with Bucknell, and tied the Rocky Mountain Conference into a three-way knot with Colorado University, Colorado Teachers and Colorado Aggies, all even at the end. Alabama's thrashing of Vander-bilt Thursday won Rose Bowl recognition for the South again, but the outstanding sensation of the week was Navy's magnificent victory over the Cadets in the rain drenched swamp of Franklin Field.

Southern California could save nothing, though losing, 14 to 7, to Washington, tjfth defeat Please Turn to Page 14 Column PUBLICATION of the American League official batting averages this morning serves to bring back, out of the football hysteria that annually grips the Nation for two months, memories of the past baseball campaign. In between the lines of cold type there comes again the picture of the "Fighting Tigers" as they battled their way to Detroit's first pennant in 25 years.

As one reads down the column of figures it Is easy to thrill again to the stirring struggles fought by Cochrane's men, the blows delivered in the pinches that brought victory after victory to a team that was conceded little chance to land on top when the season began. But a close study of the figures furnishes ample proof of the Tigers' superiority over their rivals. They showed the way in many departments of offense and barely missed boasting the batting champion of the League when Charlie Gehringer was forced to trail Lou Gehrig, of the Yankees, by seven points. That's all water under the bridge now, however. figures are just a reminder of the past that causes one to wonder what the future holds in store.

wh: the Tigers finish next year? Can they battle their way through the opposition again with the same battle front that showed the way last summer? If you take the word of Hank Greenberg, the tall (tuardian of first base, the answer is an emphatic "yes." Lanky Hank dropped In for a visit the other day before returning to his home in fiie Bronx to await the spring training camp call and we asked him these questions. "You can mark it down right now," he answered, "we will repeat as pennant winners next year. Wc can miss. I don't know what changes may be made In the club, but even if we must enter the campaign with the same gang, we'll come through again." "It has been said by wise baseball men," we interrupted, "that the Tigers will need replacements in several positions if they are to duplicate their performance of a year ago." "Maybe so." Hank answered, "but I honestly believe we can take the same fellows that carried the major portion of the burden last season and repeat. We just can't miss." GREENBERG spoke with an air of confidence that made one want him to explain his reasons for so emphatic statement.

"What makes you so certain thousands on the sides of the stadium turned themselves into a tapestry woven of colors as the women donned their colored rain capes against the downpour. Powder and marine blues were the prevailing colors with sprinklings of reds, greens, yellows and whites. The west stand, whose bleacher sides rise less steeply than the north and south fortress walls, resembled a tulip bed in Holland in The colors were so clear and sharp and well defined. Sunlight is not the best friend to true colors, but rather that gray half-light that turned the gigantic football stadium into a Bastille, a Bastille whose high, ominous sides appeared to be covered with flowers.

The great stadia of the land were filled with ghosts and hollow echoes today, and all there was left of importance to another football season, one of the greatest in the history of tne game, was the final New years Day climax between Stanford and Alabama in the Rose Bowl. "Navy men could lift their heads again wherever Uncle Sam's battle wagons roamed the seas, for the breeding ground for officers at Annapolis, the Naval Academy, had broken the 13-year domination of Army's Cadets with a 3 to 0 vic tory before 80.000 storm tossed spectators at Philadelphia, thanks to big Slade Cutter's 19-yard field goal in the first period. Tulane's Green Wave, conqueror of Senator Huey Long's widely ballyhooed Louisiana State eleven, 13 to 12, ruled the Southeastern Conference with undefeated Ala bama as that campaign came to a close.

There were all the phenomena of light as the storm drew its dark mantle across the sky, and there was, too. that moment after the game was over when the corps of Midshipmen swarmed across the field to serenade the Cadet corps which, obeying the ancient etiquette of the game, remained seated solidly in the stands.

Wind and weather and nature set the scene. Of all the Army-Navy games I have seen this was by far the most beautiful and the most awesome. Almost every mood of nature was reflected before the afternoon was over.

There were sunshine and rain and a roaring windstorm, and there were those curious half lights and mock twilights that alternat-ingly illuminated and changed the scenes and colorings inside the'' gigantic fortress of the field.
