Brises Selection on Pitching
Depth, Formidable Oppoision
By ROGERS HORNSBY #~ As Told to John P, Carmichael DETROIT, Oct. 2=The Cubs até in another world series. haven't won one in 35 years although we should have beaten the Athletics in 1920 when we had ane game in the bag, 8-0, in the seventh and got beat and another put away, 2-0, in the ninth and lost it too. This time I pick the Cubs to win . , . In six games. My choice is based upon two things, first: the Cubs have a betterbalanced club and greater pitching depth and, second: they. beat more formidable opposition to win their pennant, The Cardinals were far and away the toughest outfit for any team to lick this season and the Cubs beat ’em in important games , , , the ones the champions couldn't afford to lose, At Peak of Ability Neither team will go into the series in a let-down condition; by that I mean both winners had to battle to the finish to hold their leads and they'll be at the peak of ability for championship play. In 1942, for instance, when the Cards had to make up 10 games in the final six weeks to beat out Brooklyn, they simply retained their momentum and took the Yankees, who had clinched an easy flag, in stride. 80 we have two “hot” for a close series, I'd say the scores in Detroit would be big; the scoring in Chicago low. ., . Up here they have a short right-field fence and a good hitting background. In this spot. a fellow like Bill Nicholson might find the range without warning on a bad pitch to him.
Mental Hazard to Cubs
winners going into action, which should make
At Wrigley field the presence of a white-shirted bleacher background has become a mental hazard to the Cubs, although I've always found that if a hitter is following the ball, as he should, the back-
ground is out of his sight In sizing up the respective inflelds and outfields we find that the { Cubs have it all over Detroit along the second line of defense while the Tigers’ outfield power may make itself felt before the series is over. If there is any weakness in the Cub infield, it is supposed to be at short, I still believe that Len Merullo is Charlie Grimm's best man to cover ground and make the plays. But he may prefer Roy, Hughes’ throwing accuracy to Merullo's greater range. Don Johnson at second Is the best in our league at the plate and does everything afield that Emil Verban (Cards) can do, especially’ on the double play. Cavarretta, Hack Mean Much
There is no need to stress what Phil Cavarretta and Stan Hack mean to a team, They are the veteran stabilizers of the infield, the kéy men in every hitting rally and experienced in rising to all emer= gencies. Detroit's infleld hasn't the smoothness nor the hitting strength of the Cub foursome. Rudy York, at first, is its only threat. With Hank Greenberg and Ray Cullenbine in left and right fields, the Tigers have an edge in extra-base power. Each can break up a game with one smashing blow, Nicholson might come through for the Cubs in that department but on paper Andy Pafko is the only Cub who can hit for distance in the clutch.
Cramer Is Sound Fielder
Defensively the Cub trio .-, , Pafko, Lowrey and Nick , . . shade Detroit's patrolmen. Roger Cramer, a fine all-around player, is the only sound flelder who can cover ground for Manager Steve O'Neill. One more thing: don't forget the Cubs have reserves that Detroit hasn't. Many a Cub game was won this summer when fellows like Heinz Becker, Frank Secory, and Roy Hughes stepped into the lineup when injuries benched regulars. Many a guy has come off the bench to star In champlonship Play,

Borowy, Newhouser Probable
Mound Choices in First Game
By LEO H. PETERSEN United Press Sports Editor
“DETROIT, Oct. 2—A couple of guys who have it in the clutch drew the honor today of going after the first game of what probably will be the richest world series in history. It will be Fordham Hank Borowy for the Chicago Cubs and a home town boy, Hal Newhouser, for the Detroit Tigers when the series opens here tomorrow with the National league pennant winners a 2-to-1 favorite. The Cubs were favored at 6 to 5 to take the all- important opening game, Borowy and Newhouser were the pennant clinching boys of 1945. Fordham Hank, the second man in history to split 20 or more victories between the two major leagues in a single season, drew the opening hurling assignment from Manager Charley Grimm because he knows the Detroit Tigers and, what's more, knows how to beat Beats Tigers 11 Times Before Hank was sold to the Cubs by the New York Yankees for $100,000—and it turned out to bé a mighty fine investment for the Cubs —he had the Tigers’ number. Fourteen times he had faced them for decisions, and 11 times he came out on top. The Tigers became known as his cousins.. Jolly Cholly is hoping that will still be true before dusk falls in Briggs stadium. tomorrow evening. It would give Borowy a lot of satisfaction if he could start the Cubs off on the right foot toward what probably will be the biggest player cut in the world series gold. The Yankees—for whom he had been a major cog in winning two American league pennants ahd one world’s championship—sold the blue-eyed, six-foot Polish boy down the baseball river because, in the words of President Larry MacPhail, he couldn't pitch winning ball after mid-season. Borowy already has made the fiery, redheaded boss of the Yanks eat those words. After he donned a Cub uniform, he won 11 games while losing two. Two of those victories came over the St. Louis Cardinals when they were challenging the Cubs for the pennant. But the big one care last Saturday when he beat Pittsburgh in the-first

But, of course, that's up to Mistah Jacobs.” Did the champ believe his bout with Conn would draw as much as Jacobs predicted ?—between $7,000,000 and $10,000,000, including gate, radio, movies and television. Joe rolled his eyes and said, “That's a powful lotta money: ah hopes Mistah Jacobs is right.” Firm and Fit Louis proudly disclosed that the army had given him $1422.40 when he was mustered out yesterday. That included base pay for a whole year, mustering out pay of $100,

I. U., Purdue Grid Staffs Bolstered
Previously strengthened - by the return of lettermen from the armed services, Purdue and Indiana university football squads were bolstered again today as three former coaching aids cast off their war apparel and came back to work, Back at Bloomington was Lt. Carl R. (Swede) Anderson, a backfield assistant coach before he joined the navy in 1942, and expected this week was Lt. Cmdr. C. A. (Timmy) Temerario, former end coach and a veteran of the Normandy invasion and the Pacific war, Purdue's returning assistant coach was Mel Taube, who served as a lieutenant in the navy for 33 months. Return of the three assistant coaches came as Indiana drilled for its next game with Illinois at Champaign, and Purdue rehearsed in preparation for its game with Wisconsin.

game of a double-header which nailed the National league pennant to the Wrigley field flagpole. O'Neill Sure of Starter
There never was any question about Steve O'Neill's starter. It's been Lefty Hal all the way—and he cemented it when he turned back the St. Louis Browns Sunday in the game which gave the Tigers the American league championship. That was his 25th victory-—-making him the winningest pitcher in the majors, It wasn’t quite up to his 1944 standard when he won 29, but it was enough to retain the honor of being the top winner in the majors. The Cubs, who arrived late last night, were scheduled’ for a workout at Briggs stadium this afternoon, while the Tigers were due to go through a fielding and batting drill at noon. The rain of yesterday promised to subside to permit the clubs to work out and clear weather was promised for the opener tomorrow. Tickets, Hotel Space Scarce
~ Like hotel rooms, tickets were out of this world. The overflow crowd for. this first peacetime series was being taken care of in two “floating” hotels. They .tied up two Great Lakes steamers, which usually ply between here and Cleveland, so some of the too many people would have a place to sleep. It even will be worse for the ball game tomorrow. Tickets have been sold out for days but some persons still figured that somehow, somewhere they would find friends who could fix them up. One thing was sure—with the series being played at Briggs stadium and Wrigley field, an all-time high for world series receipts appeared certain, If they exceed the previous high of 1935 when the Tigers defeated the Cubs four games to two in the only series they have won from the Windy City boys in three meetings, it will mean that each player on the triumphant side will receive more than $6544.76. That was the swag that Tigers received when they defeated the Cubs that year.
