CHICAGO:
WORLD SERIES:
FINISHING LIKE TRUE CHAMPIONS THE DETROIT TIGERS SLAMMED HANK BOROWY FROM THE MOUND BEFORE
HE COULD RETIRE A BATTER IN THE SEVENTH AND DECIDING GAME OF THE 1945 WORLD SERIES AT
WRIGLEY FIELD WEDNESDAY AND WENT ON TO WIN FROM THE CHICAGO CUBS 9 TO 3 BEHIND HAL
NEWHOUSER’S MAGNIFICENT PITCHING. NEWHOUSER, CHALKING UP HIS SECOND VICTORY OF THE
RECORD BREAKING PLAYOFFS, FANNED TEN BATTERS AND BROKE AN ALL TIME WORLD SERIES MARK BY
RUNNING HIS TOTAL OF STRIKEOUTS IN THE SERIES TO 22 AGAINST THE PREVIOUS BEST OF 20 HELD
BY THREE OTHER FLINGERS. ALTHOUGH THE CUBS GOT TO THE TALL LEFT HANDER FOR TEN
HITS—ONE MORE THAN THE TRIUMPHANT TIGERS COULD MANAGE OFF SIX ASSORTED CHICAGO
THROWERS—NEWHOUSER STIFLED THEM IN THE CLUTCHES WITH HIS SHARP CURVE AND FAST BALL
AND NEVER PERMITTED THEM TO GET IN THE BALL GAME. IN FIGHTING THROUGH THEIR FIRST WORLD
TITLE IN TEN YEARS, THE TIGERS SUPPLIED A SAD ENDING TO BOROWY’S HEROIC EFFORTS TO
PITCH THE CUBS TO WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN THEIR MAIDEN VICTORY IN THE CLASSIC SINCE 1908. THE
SLIM RIGHT HANDER WORKING IN HIS THIRD STRAIGHT GAME WITH ONLY A SINGLE DAY’S REST
NEVER HAD A CHANCE TO STILL THE BENGAL BATS AND WAS ON HIS DISCONSOLATE WAY TO THE SHOWERS
MINUTES AFTER HE THREW HIS FIRST STRIKE. SHARING HONORS WITH NEWHOUSER AND HELPING HIM
CHILL THE HOPES OF OVER 41,000 FANS PACKED IN THE PARK WAS HIS BATTER MATE PAUL RICHARDS
OF WAXAHACHIE TEXAS WHO DROVE ACROSS THREE RUNS WITH A MIGHTY DOUBLE IN THE
CHAMPION’S BIG FIVE RUN FIRST INNING AND HAMMERED ANOTHER IN WITH A TWO BAGGER IN THE
SEVENTH. EVEN THE CUBS FANS GIVE THE VETERAN A SYMPATHETIC CHEER WHEN HE WAS FORCE TO
LEAVE THE GAME IN THE EIGHTH INNING AFTER A FOUL TIP BROKE THE LITTLE FINGER ON HIS RIGHT
HAND. HE HAD PLAYED A GREAT WORLD SERIES FROM FIRST TO LAST. HIS SUPERB HANDLING OF THE
TIGERS PITCHING STAFF POSSIBLY HAVING BEEN THE DECIDING FACTOR IN THE HARD FOUGHT BATTLE
FOR FIRST MONEY. THE TIGERS WERE DOMINANT FROM THE MOMENT SKEETER WEBB, THEIR LEAD OFF
MAN, DROVE A SINGLE TO RIGHT IN THE FIRST INNING UNTIL NEWHOUSER THROTTLED THE LAST
CHICAGO GASP IN THE NINTH. EDDIE MAYO FOLLOWED WEBB WITH A SINGLE INTO THE SAME FIELD AND
WHEN DOC CRAMER DROPPED A SINGLE INTO LEFT TO SCORE WEBB WITH NONE OUT MANAGER CHARLIE
CRIMM REALIZED THAT HE HAD CALLED ON BOROWY FOR A LITTLE MORE THAN THE HUMAN FRAME WOULD
STAND AND BROUGHT PAUL DERRINGER FROM THE BULLPEN. HANK GREENBERG, FIRST BATTER TO FACE
DERRINGER, SACRIFICED THE RUNNERS ALONG AND THEN ROY CULLENBINE WAS PASSED PURPOSELY
FILLING THE BASES. WHEN RUDY YORK POPPED TO STAN HACK IT LOOKED LIKE THE CUBS MIGHT ESCAPE
SERIOUS DAMAGE BUT IT WAS NOT TO BE. JIMMY OUTLAW WORKED HIS WAY TO A WALK FORCING MAYO
ACROSS AND LEAVING THE SACKS LOADED. (COPY FADED AT THIS POINT)…..CAME THROUGH WITH A
TREMENDOUS CLOUT INTO THE LEFT OUTFIELD CORNER TO BRING EVERYBODY HOME. NEWHOUSE, NINTH
DETROITER TO BAT, FINALLY ENDED THE SHAMBLES WITH AN INFIELD OUT BUT BY THAT TIME THE GAME
WAS WRAPPED UP AND IT DIDN’T MATTER.
