Sept. 18—(UP) The Chicago Cuba, who have maintained a flrat place margin of at leant a gam* and a half ever since acquiring the lead at mid -season on July 8. needed ju»t one more victory today to make their 1945 conquest of the National League official. They celebrated unofficially last night when a Cardinal defeat at Pittsburgh, following their own double daytime victory over the Red* assured them of a tic. But (he big "blow-off" for Charley Grimm’s happy-go-lucky club won t come until they win the game against th* Pirates they Bead t> clinch the pennant for good. That the victory will come, probably In the first game of a doublebeader at Pittsburgh on Saturday, was a foregone conclusion with every man on the club. "We’re In. were In." shouted Grimm in the dressing room after the Cubs had won their 19th doublehead'-r of the year and their seventh from Cincinnati. 3 to 1, and 7 to 4. That waa before the Cardinal defeat. In an effort to settle things In a hurry with the Pirates. Grimm w!H send Hank Borowy after his 12th National league victory in the first game.

No other team ever won so many doubleheaders from another In a single season.

There was plenty of concern over the Injury to second baseman I Don Johnson, whose services will i be needed in the series. Johnson was taken to a hospital with a pulled monde In hl* eck after a leaping attempt to catch a line drive in the seventh Inning of the first game. It was doubtful j whether he would recover suffl- ’ cient ly to play. ‘ Wyse, who scored victory 22 In 1 the opener, shared honors with veteran Paul Derringer, who gain--1 ed his loth triumph in the nightcap.

"No catastrophe of nature will bring the end of the world for man,” he said. “If it comes at gjl, it will come from a collapse of the human spirit. "Life has continued on the earth now for roughly 600.000,600 years,” he said. "For that reason, if for no other, I am inclined to have a great deal of confidence that it will keep on going. And scientific date leads me to believe that the earth will continue for several billion years.” LOANS Would a cash loan of $25 or more help you?

Detroit Confident Os Taking Pennant • Detroit, Sept. 28— (UP) —The Detroit Tigers, who have been In first place In the American league for 109 straight days, were begging destiny today to let them stay there alone just two more days, giving them their seventh American league pennant. Maligned as a club that tottered In the si retch, the Tigers have lhe reconl book to put the lie to such talk. Maintaining a lead they gained on June 12, they have fought off first one then other contenders until now they need only one more game to settle the issue. The Washington Senators are waiting in agonizing idleness to see what happens In those last Iwo games l>elween Detroit and the Brown* at St. Louis, tomorrow and Sunday. If the Brown* should win them both, the Tigers and Senators will finish in an exact tie. The Tiger* embarked for St. fxrais weary from a nerve-wrack-ing stretch campaign. Injuries are keeping such stars as Hank Greenberg an,l Eddie .Mayo from operating at top efflciemy. Manager Steve O'Neill took time out for a hospital checkup earlier In the week. The pitchers are tired —dead tired. Indicating how thin the mound strength Is spread, O'Neill said that he probably would start Virgil (Firei Trucks, his returning spee<M>i:ller who was the star of the Great latkes naval training station team In 1944, against the Browns. Trucks wired only yesterday that he was out of the navy and that he would be in St. Louis “ready to pitch.” "It he is In shape, he'll start the first game," O'Neill said. Trucks won 3o games in 1942 and 1943 for the Tigers. Detroit, with 14 victories in 20 start* with the Brown*, ha* rea*on to be confident, even though few clubs In the league are tougher to beat at home than the retiring American league champions. Moreover, their aces, Nelson Potter, who shut the Tigers out with two faits last Sunday, and Bob Muncrief are sure to start In the series. In the only American league game played yesterday, Charley (Red• Ruffing of the Yankees, hit a three-run hunter an«i pitched a six-hitter to defeat the Athletics at New York, 8 to 1.
