Tigers Hew World Champs
As They Win Last Game 0-3
Tile 1945 World Series ended in a complete rout of
the Chicago Cuhs as the Detroit Tigers emerged with
a 9-3 victory in the last game to become the World
Champs. The Series proved to be one of the most ex-
citing in baseball history and included a one-hit game
pitched by Claude Passeau in the third game. A home
run by Hank Greenberg in the eighth inning of the sixth
game tied the score and sent the game into three extra
innings before the Cubs won out to send the Series into
a full seven games.
The Cubs won the third
game 3-0 behind the one hit
pitching of Passeau, who be-
came the second player in
history to accomplish this
feat. Ed Reulhach, also of
the Cubs, hurled the first in
1906, heating the White Sox
7-1. Passeau faced only 28
men. Rudy York was the bat-
ter who got the hit.
Detroit came hack to take
the fourth game 4-1 as Diz-
zy Trout set the Cubs down
with five hits. The big inn-j
ing of the fourth game was
the fourth in which Detroit
got their four runs.
In the fifth the Tigers
knocked out eleven hits,
three of them doubles by
Hank Greenberg, to win 8-4.
The twelve inning sixth
game saw almost every
pitcher on both teams tak-
ing their turn on the mound.
The Cubs pulled the game
out of the fire as Hack’s
freak hit hounded over
Greenberg’s head and Schu-
ster scored the run that gave
them their 8-7 win.
The final game found
Newhouser on the mound to
redeem the prestige he lost
in the first game. His team-
mates were all out for the
championship and in the
first inning they knocked
Hank Rorowy out of the box.
Derringer was unable to
tame them as a total of five
runs crossed the plate. The
Cubs made a valiant effort to
overtake the Tigers, hut the
lead proved too great and
Newhouser completed the
game for a 9-3 win.
This is Detroit’s first
World Series Championship
in ten years. The last time
they won was in 1935 when
they defeated the Cubs four
games to two.

Babe Ruth Md laps
The best known American
in Japan — according to
news dispatches — is appar-
ently not Roosevelt, MacArt-
hur, Nimitz or Halsey. It’s
Eabe Ruth.
It seems that the Rabe
made a tremendous impres-
sion on the Japs during his
tour of Japan years ago with
other big leaguers. The Jap
hall players, puny hitters
themselves, were popeyed in
awe over the Rahe’s prowess
with the big stick.
The war, however, slight-
ly altered this admiration'
and one Marine correspond-
ent reported that Japs facing
Marine fire at Cape Glou-
cester used to yell “To hell
with Babe Ruth” during
their banzai charges.
When Ruth heard about
this, he had a ready reply.
“I hope every Jap that ment-
ions my name gets shot,” he
said, “and to hell with the
Japs, too.”

at Reykir, that engineers
estimate there is 20 per cent
more than enough to heat
the entire city of Reykjavik.
When the project/is com-
pleted Iceland’s import of
coal for heat will he reduced
measurably and along with
it the smoke that-comes with
burning coal.
The professor’s comment,
although it sounds very good,
is not entirely practical for
the Vhole country. Major
Ragnar Stefansson of the
CIC section, IBC, says that
an attempt to find hot-water
at IsafjorSur has apparent-
ly failed and that the entire
east coast of the island is
without volcanic activity of
that type. Perhaps the pro-
fessor was identifying this
project with that of electri-
fying the entire country as
the government plans to do.
Iceland has many streams
and waterfalls which are
practical for this purpose. |
