SPORTS By Eddie Ash

DETROIT has participated in five World Series, win“ning one, losing four. ... In 1907 the Chicago Cubs beat ‘the Tigers, winning four games, losing none, and one tie.

In 1908 the same clubs clashed and the Cubs repeated, four games to one. ... In 1909 the Tigers were in it again, opposing the Pittsburgh Pirates, who won, four

games to three.

Twenty -five years later in 1934, the Tigers battled the St. Louis Cardinals and the National Leaguers prevailed, four games to three. . . In 1935 the Tigers finally made it by downing the Cubs in the fall classic, four games to two. The Cincinnati Reds split even in two World Series, defeating the White Sox in 1919, five games to three, and losing four straight to the Yankees last year.

At Buffalo this season he won 15 and lost 16, but several defeats‘were by one-run margins. . . Toledo finished last in 1939 and Buffalo landed sixth this year.

The | Indians’ left fielder, Ben Chapman. | leaped for the ball and barely | missed it. Feller was good, but,a rqokie you never heard of, Floyd Giebell was better. A thin, tow-headed rightihander, he was a last-minute choice {of Del Baker to pitch instead, of ‘Schoolboy Rowe. Giebell tied the (tribe in knots.

Giebell Was Cool

He pithced with the coolness of a Johnson or an Alexander. It was miraculous considering the fact that | {only a few weeks ago he was having | [trouble winning for the Buffalo International League club. There he wasn't able to win half his games, capturing 15 and losing 16. Last |year he won only one while losing 10 for Toledo.

Giebell isn't even eligible for | the World Series. He permitted six hits, all singles, | but was masterful in the clutch. His | particular goat was Ben Chapman. He fanned him three times, [time with two men on base. He also (fanned Mack and Boudreau with itwo runners on. He gave only two, walks and fanned six. Feller walked | {eight and struck out four.

During the winter, Commissioner Landis declared 92 players in the Detroit chain free agents.

CLEVELAND, Sept. 28 (U. P.. —Steve O'Neill, of the Cleveland Indians, today said he would resign as pilot of the Buffalo Bisons. “I have decided to leave Buffalo and I have made another contact which I will not reveal until next week,” O'Neill said. Del Baker, manager of the Detroit Tigers, denied that O'Neill would sign as one of his coaches. Jack Zeller, business manager of the Tigers, also denied the rumor in a statement from Detroit. But Zeller revealed that the Tigers would enter into a working agreement with Buffalo next year and would like to have O'Neill remain there as manager. O'Neill had been repor ted very friendly with Baker and Zeller | since spring training and recently had sent them Floyd Giebell, the young right-hander who defeated the Indians yesterday. Cleveland Club President -Alva Bradley denied that O'Neill, who went to the International League team after Oscar Vitt succeeded him as the Indians’ manager in 1938, might return to Cleveland. “O'Neill's decision,” Bradley said, “has no bearing on our situation. So far as I know there is nothing doing regarding whatever managerial Problems we} we have. ”
