OCTOBER 6. T935 Mike Praises Gens Pitching Says His Work Was Best of Series Players Mere Pawns; Fate Plays the Game Tiger Marionets Win Their Game in Spite of All the Laws of Mathematics By Paul Gallico CHICAGO, Oct. 5 Every so often you see some sports event in which the participants are merely marionets. Something indefinable is pulling the strings, The result is foreordained.

There can be no other, no matter what the men on the field do; no matter what strength and energy is in their bodies; no matter guile is in their heads. Such a game was the famous Columbia-Stanford Rose Bowl football game. And such a game, too, was this fourth World Series affair here today, which the Tigers won, 2 to 1. The Tigers were meant to win. The Lord knows they tried hard enough not to do so.

A crowd of 49,350 saw the Detroit a1 By W. W. Edgar CHICAGO, Oct. 5 "It's all over bat the shouting and we'll be doing that tomorrow." These words echoed from the throats of the jubilant Tigers as they piled into the dressing room after taking their third straight World Series game from the Cubs this afternoon. Like a bunch of schoolboys turned loose at recess time, the Bengals barged into their quarters shouting, yelling and screaming defiance to the Cubs to "just try and stop us from winning (his Series right here." As Crowder, the venerable old General, walked Into the room, Schoolboy Rowe and Ray Hayworth picked him up and carried him around on their shoulders to the accompaniment of flashing bulbs from the newspaper photographers.

"Here's the guy who did it," they screamed and hollered, "here's the guy who did It. He showed those Cubs they weren't so hot." In the midst of the Jubilation Mickey Cochrane raced over to grab Crowder and embrace him. "Gen, you pitched a great game," he said. "I was a little afraid of you In the ninth when they got two men on, but you came through like a major. And these Cubs are licked right now." Then as he slumped down In his chair and sipped at a bottle of pop, 1 CHICAGO, Oct.

5-This time a year ago Herman (Flea) Clifton went home to Cincinnati not knowing whether he would wear a hig league uniform or a minor league uniform during th 1935 season. Three months later he impetuously climbed into hia automobile and drove through a snowstorm to Detroit. He had heard that he was shout to be sent to the Hollywood Club in the Pacific Coasrt League and he wanted to register a personal protest with Frank J. Ts'avin. president of the Tigers, about the proposed transfer.

"Don't send me away from the Tigers," pleaded Clifton, "without another chance. Take me to Florida with the Club thit spring. Some of thofe other guys may not be io good as they were last year and I might get a chance to get into the line-up. Give me a chance to fight for rr.v job." Mr. Navin liked the pluck of the little guy from Cincinnati and withdrew the order transferring him to Hollywood.

Tonight Mr. Navin la thanking hig lucky star that he made that derision, for Herman E. Clifton is the hero of the 1535 World Se-rtea, if such a hero there be. The sudden change in hig fortunes hag left the little guy somewhat agape with surprise, but he la taking his good luck an he took the bad, and is carrying his honors well. Future Waan't Bright When the current season began, Clifton was conceded only a remote chance of geelng action.

He might apnt into run for gome glow-footed teammate In a clone game, but break into the regular line-im? Not a chance. He wag a By Doc Hoist CHICAGO, 111., Sept 5-Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis today deferred action on the Friday riot staged by the Cubs on one aid and Umpire George Moriarty on the other. George and the Cubs, however, did not defer action. The moment Judge Landis had tucked his ears under his waving hair, Moriarty threw out his chest and toki Charley Grimm: "Now you young fellows (vounc fellows is a refined translation of what George really calls the Cubi get out there and play ball ana if you do the same thing you did yesterday I'll throw the whole bunch of you out." "I'll be out there, George (George being the refined translation of what Grimm alwys calls Moriarty) and If you do what you did yesterday you'll find me out there again." Judfre Landis is expected to make his decision after the Series. Th.

Cubs say that George called then, everything but the Cubs. "Remember, boys," Grimm can tioned. "Don't let that American League bully frighten you. If you' have a legitimate squawk, get our there and squawk your heads off Remember that Moriarty is no: spelled Mussolini." The umpire trouble started Wednesday In Detroit when Moriarty threatened to throw tho Cubs out in bunches if they did not stop describing Greenberg in foul terms. The climax to the was reached yesterday when Moriarty kept his promise to throw Cubs out in bunches.

He threw out Charley Grimm, Woody English and Tuck Stainback and the Cubs later needed English to ply third base. Lindstrom, who to play third base in English's absence, made the fumble that pave the Tigers the winning run. The crowd today stood uji as one when Moriarty took hi place on the first base line and booed. But if the crowd came to see the Cubs chaw up Moriarty, it was disappointed. The only display of temper today was when Moriarty called a balk on Tex Carleton In the sixth.

The Cubs, headed bv Manager Grimm, dashed onto the field, but did not go to Moriarty to register their complaint. They rushed to Dolly Stark, the National League umpire, who wag behind the plate. Umpire Stark, however, refused to change Moriarty's decision. Fordham Wins, 19-0 NEW YORK, Oct. 5-(A.

Fordham squared off against it old rival, Boston College, today the twentieth time and punched oui a 19 to 0 victory to even up tin-series which now stands nine victories apiece, with a pair of tit-thrown in. CKOWDF.R SCORING IN' Til IK I) elbow. Clifton was on second base. She Nudges the Bull This brought Crowder to the plate. Two out, mind you.

and the pitcher Is just another guy named Joe, taking his licks so he can stay in the game. If Crowder had made a clean hit, you would have said that at last the Tigers had stepped into the breach. But he didn't He skittered the easiest kind of a grasser straight at Jur-ges. Cub shortstop, and all Jurges had to do was to pick it up and throw him out At this point the first of the sistera, the good-looking one, laid down her weaving and nudged the ball just a few inches as it reached Jurges. We all saw Jurges kneel to make the easy stop, and also saw the ball suddenly fly right past his hands.

I don't think he laid a finger on It. Anyway, It went out into center field and Clifton ran home and dug his spikes Into the plate. You see how screwy the mathematics was? One run on five hits and three passes. One run on no hits. End of a Perfect Day Well, after that, the game might as well have ended.

In the same inning, that Is, the Cubs' half, Herman opened with a double and took third base on the throw, after Llndstrom had fouled out near the dugout. A man on third and one out A team that is meant to win scores a run on that. But Hartnett struck out and Demaree skied to second and the Fatea went on spinning, and gosh! Their work was don. In the last half of the ninth, with one out, Demaree and Cavarretta singled. Two on base, with one out.

Surely the Cuhs must tie the score. The mathematics was ail with them. Figures don't lie. But I told you the magic was around the Tigers like glass. Stanley Hack hit into a six-four-three double play and the game was The three sisters picked up their substitute lnflelder in a field that did not need aubstitutpp.

It wa 4 one of the most durame in Dase- tll. But only two games of the World Penes had been played before the Flea wan given hig chance. Hank Greenberg wag injured gliding Into ball team fill the bases in two' innings and put two men aboard in two more. Detroit might have scored from eight to 10 runs in today's game, but they did not have the punch. Mathematically.

Detroit should have lost. But the Tigers, outside of old Genera! Crowder, had little to do with this game, except to appear on the field and let the thing happen to them. Opportunity Barges In Along towards the fourth inning, somebody saw opportunity staggering about the field, its knuckles wearing heavy bandages from knocking at the Tiger door. In two Innings, the second and third, four Detroit players Owen and Clifton, Fox and Rogell came to bat with the bases full. Any kind of a hit would have sent runs clattering across the plate.

Nothing happened. Six men were left on bases in two innings. Five hits, two of them doubles, and three baseg on balls in those two innings, yielded exactly one run. Count It ONE. As against this, consider the brilliant economy of the Cubs' manner of scoring the same amount of runs.

In the second inning, Hart-nett cracked ft pitch Into the right-field bleachers, and that was that Now, in any other walk of life, such mathematics spells failure. If you have more red ink on the ledger than black, you lose. If you don't take in more money than you spend, the sheriff comes around, unless you happen to be the Government The legend reads that opportunity knocks but once, and If you do not take advantage of it, your name is mu Kg. You can make a break and you can get a break. But if you don't score then, why don't ask for more.

You're through. But not those Tigers. They were destined to win this game as they are destined to win the Series. Fate and Figures Tf you live by figures, you wouldn't have given one round zero for Detroit's chances after they had blown those two magnificent scoring opportunities.

With the Series tied at one game each, the Tigers Mickey paid Crowder a glowing tribute. Finest Mound Job "The old Gen pitched one of the best World Series games I ever saw," the Bengal pilot remarked. "He pitched smart baaeball, always cool and never upset no matter what happened.

It was the best-pitched game of the Series thus far. "Why, In the ninth Inning when I walked out to him after the Cubs got men on first and second with one out, I asked him if his arm was tired and he answered: 'Hell no. I'll get them, Mike. Ill get and that's Just what he did. He got the next guy to hit into a double play.

And what a double play! Did you ever gee anything like that finisher?" Mike beamed a smile and chanted the chorus of the Tigers' theme song, "It's all over but the shouting," then he added, "and that can't come too quickly for me. I'll be off to Wyoming and hunt some more bears." More Curves Than Mae Asked what kind of atuff Crowder had, Cochrane answered, "He Just curved 'em to death. At timeg it looked like he wag bad, but that was because he was trying for the corners, lie didn't give those guys anything good to hit at. Just a smart old guy who knows how to use his stuff." At that precise moment Crowder walked out of the shower and was handed a sheaf of telegrams. He picked them up and quietly remarked, "It dop't take long for news to get around, does It?" The old Gen wasn't left alone were none too continent inni mcy could win without the services of their Mugger, their big run manufacturer, the most, valuable player in the American League this year.

And thi're were a lot of funR who were a lot legs confident than the Tigers when they heard the bad jiews. Monienloii tjuestlon The Tigerg held a meeting that knitting and went home.

Gehringer Suggested Somebody suggested putting Charley Gehrlnger on first nnd the Flea in at.

second. Second base is the Flea's natural position and It was thought that fellow with so much ability as Gehringer possessed ought to be able to do a pretty fair Job of first basing even if he had never had much experience at the position. Gehiinger consented to give the plan a try. But he wanted the right kind of a firt baseman's mitt. He didn't care to try to play the bag with the big mitt that Hank uses.

That scheme was dropped eventually. It was decided to put Marvin Owen on first in Greenherg's place. Owen had played the baa in the Pacific Coast League and had done the Job well enough to attract the attention of Tiger acotiti. Once the decision was reached to transfer Owen, the question arose a to who was to replace him at third. Heinle Krhuble wae and Cochrane decided to Rive him a chance.

The Tigers were about to leave the clubhouse for pie-game practice when Mickey suddenly changed hig mind anii Informed the Flea thnt he would be given the opportunity. It wag a bad spot in which to drop a little fellow who had not seen much action all season. But the Flea was not frightened at the responsibilities placed upon him. Instead, he ate em up. He had as much pepper as Johnny Ever In hia heyday.

Tonight baseball men gathered here are marveling at the luck of Mickey Cochiane, who found a good third baseman when the injury of his star first sacker threatened to cost the Tigers the Series.
