Chicago, October 6 (UP) The Chicago White Sox took another year's lease on ths city championship, which they have held since 1931, by winning a ten-inning, rain-drenched thriller from the Chicago Cubs today for their fourth and clinching victory in the inter-city series.

Veteran Teddy Lyor.s pitched the win for the American Lcajuero, and it was his second of the playoff since he opened the series by hurling and batting the Sox to a victory. Lyons allowed seven hits, one of them a homer in the last half of the tenth by Zeke Bonura for the Cubs' fourth run. The Sox tied the score in the ninth on Taft Wright's singla which brought In Solters from second. Then In the overtime frame the South Siders got three of their 10 hits off Cub Southpaw Vern Olson for two runs on Jimmy Webb's single, Joe Kuhel's double and Luke Appling's single. The 1940 title marked the seventeenth championship which the Sox have taken from the Cubs in the times the scries has been played.

And I do know that I wanted to win it more than any other game I ever worked." Despite Newsom's reputation as a pop-off, the Detroit sports writers say he's a great guy and that he pitched his heart out in the Tigers' drive for the pennant. Forgetting the sentimental satisfaction of winning a World Series and getting around to the very practical side of the matter, each of the Reds will be blowing about $2,100 if the team loses tomorrow. Based on the distribution of their share of the pot, each Redleg will receive approximately $6,600 If the team wins the series and $4,500 if they lose the best World Series distribution In quite a few years. And is not hay. Ticket scalpers, who had fared pretty badly for the first two games here, did a lot better today.

Tickets were extremely scarce and Eclling nt fair premiums above the fnc value. The Detroit speculators, Incidentally, operate a whole lot more openly than the scalpers in Cincinnati. In Cincinnati there is a good deal of whispering and hush-hush with hurried deals behind a potted plant In a hotel lobby. But here the boys stand openly in hotel lobbies soliciting business and bargaining for prices. The local gamblers also got back a little of the money tthey lost yesterday when they placed 6 to 4 against Derringer.

Today they again made the Tigers favorites, with prices of 7 to 5 and 8 to 8 against the Reds. The hotels and downtown restaurants still were jammed at dinner tonight, but the crowds drifted away much quicker than they did after the second game in Cincinnati. One reason, of course, was that Detroit's bars were closed today. Arrujng the batch of telegrams waiting for the Reds after the game was one for McKechnle all the way from Tulsa, and signed "A Fan." It said: "Where is Bucky Walters? Whoever heard of Junior. What management." Bill just grinned and remarked: "Well, it takes all kinds of peop'e to make up a world."

Crowning Feat Of Lifetime With Clubs That Never Finished Higher Than Fourth. BY BOB CONSIDINE. Detroit, October 6 (INS) Buck Newsom, who wasted his -pitching fragrance in deserted ball parks for years, won his second great victory in the 1940 World Series here today when he shut out the Cincinnati Reds 8-0 to give the Tigers a 3-2 edge in games. He erected a dazzling three-hit performance which, he said, will serve as a monument to the mem ory of his father, who died in Cincinnati last Thursday morning after Watching his big eccentric son win the opening game of the series. "I'm' dedicating tfiis one to my dad," he announced with unaccustomed grimness just- before the game.

And, wherever he is. it must have pleased the old man For Buck scraped the ceiling of baseball today. His sidearm fast ball was virtually hurtling down the third-base line at those apprehensive Reds, and pounding into Billy Sullivan's catcher mitt with the boom of a bass drum. FANS SEVEN MEN He struck out seven Reds, walked only two, and permitted only one to get as far as second base. It was the crowning achievement of a baseball lifetime spent with scabrous ball clubs that never got closer to a pennant than fourth place.

i LONGEST OF SERIES SPBHIAr. nisPATCH TO THE K.VQUIRF.R. Detroit, October 6 Hank Greenberg's homer in the third inning today was a mighty wallop that landed 20 rows back in the upper deck of the left-field pavilion. It was the longest hit of the series and probably would have smacked against the sign on top of the laundry on York Street had it been hit at Crosley Field. A congregation of 55,189, which left $224,597 in gate receipts, filled Briggs Stadium to cheer on New-om and the men who gave him his runs.

Hank Greenberg, Bruce Campbell, Barney McCoskey, and other members of the wrecking crew. The Tigers now need only one more victory to give them the winners' share of the boodle and the ailing Walter O. Briggs the World Series victory, the hope of which doctors believe has prolonged his life. The scene of the series shifts to Cincinnati tomorrow, where Bucky Walters, who won the second game, will loom between the Tigers and Victory. Schoolboy Rowe, driven out of the box in the second game of the series, will pitch for the Tigers.

The experts agree that it is imperative that Rowe win, for the Tiger pitching staff is close to depletion. Newsom would have beaten any pitcher in the sport today, but as itTurned out he didn't have, too much to lick. FAT FAST BALL. He was opposed at the start by Junior Thompson, whose fast ball looked fat and delectable to those Tigers. When Thompson was shelled out of there, seemingly long after he should have been invited to take a bath, Newsom's pitching rivals were Whitey Moore, Johnny Vander Meer, and Johnny Hutch-ings.

And if they had a. soothing effect on the Tigers it was mainly because the Tigers were tired of running the bases. Newsom faced only 31 batters. He got the first three in order, then Frank McCormick singled to left to open the second. But Buck retired the next three men, struck out two in the third, and gave Mike McCormick the Reds' second hit at the start of the fourth.

Goodman's grounder sent McCormick to second, but Frank McCormick popped to Sullivan and Ripple lifted to left to make third base an outpost never reached by a Red. Buck struck out two more men In the fifth, and after Werber had singled to center to start the sixth. Buck got Mike McCormick to roll Into double play and struck out Goodman. He walked Ripple with one out in the seventh, then retired the next eight men to finish things out their tough guy, Frank McCormick, for the final out of the game. TICKETS CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.

toTand'reserve seat tickets will be put on general sale at Crosley Field and at the Club's downtown office In the Union Central Annex immediately after today's game. To accommodate season box holders, however, the club will provide them with tickets for the capacity of their boxes, providing checks for that number of tickets reach the not later than 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. Box seat tickets are $6.85 each. Tickets for box holders who send in checks will be held for them until noon tomorrow at the downtown office. After that they will be put on general sale.

Tnis state of affairs leaves a wide opan field for speculators, who may Tigers Taking 3-2 Lead In Series Two On, Hank Greenberg Homers In Third Inning. CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE. Buck's final pass in the seventh. While Bo-Bo was blowing over our champions with the greatest of ease, the American Leaguers, led by the mighty Greenberg, trained their big guns on a quartet of Redleg pitchers and did everything but blow a couple of them right out of the stadium in collecting a total of 13 resounding base knocks, all of them singles with the exception of big Hank's same-winning wallop and a Rouble by Dick Bartell. Thompson, who was finally given a chance to start a game after being named twice by Deacon Mc-Kechnie, only to be sidetracked at the "eleventh hour," in favor of Milkman Jim Turner on one oc casion and Paul Derringer yester day, proved to the big crowd early that he did not have the stuff to stop the Tigers.

Some weird base running by the usual heads-up Dick Bartell kept the Tigers from cashing on three singles in the opening round. They left two of their total of 13 runners on the hassocks in the second. DIFFERENT IN THIRD. But it was a different and much sadder story in the third. The first two Tigers to face the fire- balling Thompson in this round Barney McCosky and Charley Gehringer blasted out singles.

Then came the blow that spelled defeat for our boys. Greenberg looked at a called strike and two balls, and then got a fast ball in hit favorite groove, pounding it for a OO-foot ride, high into the upper deck of the right field stands. It was the hardest hit ball of the series. It carried on a line into the upper deck, and one quick look by Ripple convinced him that it was no use getting into free wheeling. Thompson saved further embarrassment in this round by retiring the next three batters.

But the Tigers, having tasted the blood of the Deacon's sixteen-game winner, tore into him with renewed fury again in the fourth. And before Whitey Moore could be rushed to the hill it was obvious that it was just a question of playing out the string. The Tigers put together four of their ten walks, along with two more hits to put the game beyond recall, before the pride of Tuscarawas, Ohio, making his third appearance in the series, succeeded in retiring them. Sullivan started Tommy on his way to an early shower by drawing a pass to open the inning. Newsom came through with a sacrifice on his third attempt, and Bartell chased home the fourth Tiger tally with a double past third.

And when McGosky drew Junior's fourth pass, the Deacon "tossed in the towel," calling in Moore from the center- field bullpen. But Whitey, who pitched brilliantly in relief in the opening game, was wilder than a hawk, and before he succeeded in retiring the side the Tigers had scored three times off him on two more walks, a long fly off the war club of Greenberg, and a two-run single by Bruce Campbell. Johnny (Double No-hit) Vander Meer and Rookie Johnny Hut.ching3 finished. Vander Meer, piling coal on his hard-high one, managed to keep the Tigers away from the payoff station, from the fifth through the seventh. He issued three passes and wa3 touched for a pair of singles.

Hutchings served em up in the eighth and ducked, and only a sensational catch by Ripple kept the nger8 from enjoying another big inning at his expense. Singles by Greenberg'and Camp bell, the third hit of the game for each, and a wild pitch, allowed the Tigers to rack up their eighth run before Ripple, running like the wind, and ignoring the possibility of suffering serious injury by crash ing into the stands, raced into the left-field cornor, and made a diving catch of Sullivan's bid for a triple with two Tigers aboard. HANGS ON TO BALL. Ripple plunged to the ground hard after making the catch. But he gamely hung onto the ball, and with a flying tackle in the first Midshipmen In Hall Of Fame For McLemore Writes.

the memory of the 55,000 customers who saw it for a long time, and Ripple should be twice saluted for making it when the cause was lost, and there was no real reason for him Hiking life, limb, and pursuit of happiness to get his hands on the ball. Just at the last one-hundieth split second he had to make a dying, convulsive flipflop to get his hand on the ball. The force of it, together with his weird position in the air, turned him around and then sent him somersaulting. But as he turned, and then somersaulted he held his gloved hand with the ball in it, high in the air, so that the umpires and the fans could see that he had held onto the ball. The applause for Jimmy when he staggered to his feet with the ball was like thunder in a phone booth.

Even the Tigers on the bases gave him a hand, and the Detroit owner, Walter Briggs, a sick man, thumped the floor of his box with his cane. So, architects get out your blueprints! Nuts to those niches! Let's build Ripple a place at Coopers-town that will make the Ta Mahal look like a chicken coop. Not a good chicken coop, either, but like one where they keep the poor egg producers. you that my gang, to the last man, was digging in out there and hurtling their heads off every minuto to help Newsom win. But Buck didn't need much help.

He pitched a ball game. Ho had wonderful control and a world of stuff and was way out ahead of them all the way. It was certainly one of the finest games Buck has ever pitched, and although I haven't seen all the World Series games and heven't memorized the record book, I'd venture a guess that it was one of the finest games ever pitched in any World Series. Newsom's performance today 3hould silence his critics for a long time. Buck has been called lucky, but if anyone who made that remark had taken the trouble to examine the pitching records he'd find out how wrong he was.

No pitcher who wins 20 games or morn in three consecutive seasons is lucky. Luck msy play a part some of those victories, but over the long pull a pitcher gets about an equal share of bad breaks along with the good ones. Certainly. Buck wasn't lucky down In Boston that day when he broke the thumb of his pitching hand. It took him weeks to regain his usual effectiveness.

Yet he refused to let the Injury get him down and he came back to pitch some mighty important wins for us during that stretch drive. He climaxed. his season by chalking up two victories over the Chicago White Sox in one afternoonand that isn't luck. Newsom can pitch for me any day. He has stuff, control, but most of all, a great heart.

The latter helped mightily to bring him his great win today. After those first two Innings I was confident that it was only a matter of time before we'd get to Gene Thompson, but frankly I didn't think we'd explode as early as the third. After that inning I knew we were rolling along. And I hope we're rolling along down there on the banks of the Ohio about tomorrow afternoon. If we are, we'll wind it up.

But it would be unfair to stop at that point when telling the story of our 8-0 win over the Reds In' the fifth game of the World Series. To let it go at that would be to pass over one of the most dramatic stories I've seen In good many years in the baseball business the pitching performance of Buck Newsom. Everyone knew how much the big fellow wanted to win this one for his dad, who died following Buck'u victory over the Reds In the first game of the'series.

McCormick clashed a single over second to open the fourth, but expired at 3ccond after reaching that bag on Goodman's slow infield roller. Werber Bingled to open the sixth, but promptly was doubled on M. Mccormick's smash to Bartell. Despite the one-sided defeat, the Reds were exuding confidence as they pulled out of here for their home range. They are confident that Walters again would muzzle the guns of the Tigers tomorrow, and that Derringer will clinch the title and the major portion of the swag Tuesday.

But, as the speculators know, it's a situation which might backfire.

If they get too many and ask too much, the fans might leave them with a flock of unsold tickets at Same time tomorrow. The hotel room problem is not quite so complicated, although it has been complicated enough ever since the Reds won Saturday, when a stream of telegrams and telephone calls for reservations began to pour in. The requests continued all day yesterday, and what rooms were left untaken were gobbled up when the trainloads of fans came in from Detroit late last night. Early yesterday the Hotel Neth-erland Plaza was booked to capacity. Robert L.

Timmerman, office manager, said all rooms not previously reserved had been filled by delegates to conventions of the Selected Morticians and Household Goods Carriers' Bureau. At the Hotel Gibson, 75 per cent of the rooms had been reserved before the influx of fans began, Randall L. Davis, general manager, reported. Mel Deininger, manager of the Fountain Square Hotel, had advance reservations for half of his rooms, with 200 left for first-come first-takers. He put an extra crew of clerks and bellhops on all-night duty.

All these hotel men and those at the Sinton, Metropole, and other downtown hostelries agreed, however, that the situation was no worse than before the first series game. They were resolved to crowd plenty more fans onto cots in temporary quarters. Temporary hotel bars also were ready for another big push at the Netherland, Gibson, and Fountain Square.

What Ripple Deserves Making Great Catch, BV HENRY McLEMORE. Detroit, October 6 (UP) A plan already is under way to get Jimmy Ripple a niche in baseball's Hall of Fame at Cooperstown for his catch in the seventh inning of the fifth World Series game between the Tigers and the Reds today, 4ut I am opposed to it. I am opposed to it on the grounds that a little ole niche, just big enough to accommodate a plaster of paris bust of Ripple, is not sufficient tribute to the catch that Jimmy made off Billy Sullivan's line drive to left field. This catch, which I will describe in detail further in this monograph, was the greatest ever made by an outfielder since the first horse yielded his hide for the manufacture of the first baseball. What Ripple deserves at Coopers-town is not a niche, but an entire wing.

Had Ripple catch come in the clutch and not when the game already had been won by the Tigers, it would be remembered and talked about for the next cen tury.
