’I'ho final score was 8-3 and the verdict overwhelmingly in favor of the clouting Cardinals as they coasted to victory behind the ef- fective pitching of the celebrated Hlerome Herman (“Dlzzy") Dean, king of the National League's pitchers, signalized the fact they are still riding the crest of the wave that carried them to sensa- tional belated triumph in the pen- nant race over New York Giants.

The mighty Dean, the tall. guwky Oklahoman whose fireball had spread destruction throughout the National League and tossed fear- some reverberations into the Am- crlcans’ camp, pitched his third full game victory within a six-day per- i0d.' With less than three days of rest since he blanked Cincinnati Reds for the second time in the closing drive of the Cardinals to the top. Dean subdued the Tigers with a. rcsoiuceful if not altogether brilliant exhibition.

The elder of the famous pair of pitching brothers lacked his cus- tomary control and yielded eight bssehits, including a booming home run by Hank Greenberg in the eighth inning, but he was seldom in anything resembling real dan- ger or called upon to bear down against the desultozy Detroit at- tack. Dizzy had his “fire ball" when he needed it, however, and he was content largely to ride al- ong behind the steadil" increasing

- lead that his team-mails piled up.

13 Hits

Against Alvin ("General") Crow- tier, Fred (“Flrl-lo") Mnrberry and Elon‘ ("Big Chief") Hogsett, the Cardinals banged out l3 hits, cap- ping the climax 0f the rout with n. four-run drive in the sixth that chased Marberry from the box. This settled any lingering doubt about the outcome. as Dean himself led the onslaught with a rousing two- bagger, although the Tigers had al- ready tossed away most of their chances in one of the most ragged exhibitions ever witnessed in a

, championship game.

Whatever chance the veteran Crowder had to give Dean a real battle and achieve his come-back goal, after being a victim of the Giants in last year's series and then cast off by Washington Senators, was dissipated bv the complete crack-up of the Tiger inner quar- tctte at the outset. Two errors by

-Marvin Owen. the third baseman.

and one each by the other members of the "battalion of death" led dir- ectly to the first three Caidlnal runs with Crowder helpless to do hnything about it.

Yielded Six Hits _

Crowder yielded only six hits in the five innings he worked. includ- ing Medwickk fifth inning home run. With a tight defence that big wallop might have represented tho only run off him but the “Gener- al” retired for s pinch hitter and his successors were promptly belted all over the park.

The Cardinals themselves con- tributed to the sloppy performance with two errors markvd up against their agile centre fielder, Ernie Oi~ satti. but they had nothing much to ivony about and seemed on the whole to be plavlng very much like a big college football team going through the motions of an early season "breather" game.

The outcome. on the basis of the home guards dismal showing in the first World Series setting Detroit has had in 25 years. was a terrific shock to a crowd of 42,505 cash cus- tomers who contributed $139,636 in gntc receipts. The crowd itself fell considerably below expectations and was several thousand short of the ballyhooed capacity of Navin Field

The fpst skating veteran, who has burned up the ice for Cana- diens of the National Hockey Lea- glle for i1 seasons, said he was pleased with the terms agreed up- on now_ that the big deal has been completed and was looking forward to his season with the Stanley Cup holders.

Previously Morenz had felt he was not being fully acquainted with the terms of the deal and would retire rather than be pushed here and there after his many years in hockey but s. conference with Leo Dandilrand, manager of Cunadiens, and a communication from Major McLaughlin changed the COmDIexion of the matter.

Not content with this initial gm 0f two runs, where the Cardinals should have been retired without 560N118. the Tigers blew up again in the third. Medwlck singled to start this inning but with an easy double play in sight on Jim Collins’ roller to Greenberg, shortstop Billy Rog. ell threw wild on the relay back to first base. Medwick was forced out but Collins scampered to second on the error and then ran all the way home as Delanceys hard grounder drifted through Greenbergs hands and into right field,

By this time the home-town crowd was beginning to boo the Tig- ers as lustlly as they had started out to Jeer Dizzy Dean and his mates. There was a brief ‘Tiger flurry, with two out, in the third when Jo-jo White walked and Manager Mickey Cochrane and Gehrlnger singled.

but Greenberg took-a futile swing at Dean's fast ball for a third strike, Medwlck's third straight hit was his fifth-inning homer into the temporary left-field stands but the Cardinals applied the crusher in the next frame with an attack that quickly drove Crowdens replace- ment, Marberry, from the box. Dean started it with a long dou- ble to left centre, a hit that gave him as much pleasure as anything he did all afternoon. Martin's sin- gle, Rothrocks sacrifice and suc- cessive singles by Medwick and Col- lins produced another run and chased Marberry to the showers.

In one of the greatest softball ‘f. struggles to be waged on a local din- La mond, the 8th Battery, City League champions, yesterday won the Pro- vincial title by defeating the Bordon Nationals 9-to-5, thus advancing to the Maritime playdowns. Borden won the first swie of the series 8-7, ‘ but the Battery boys tied it. up by ; taking the second tilt on Monday ' 10-3, making necessary the third game.

It was a pitchers’ battle all through with Cioss and Btull on the mound, but while the 8th Battery played almost errorless ball, , the Nationals proved unsteady and finally broke in the eighth inning to , allow the locals six runs to put the . game on ice. '

It was Hal Gaudet, husky third , baseman, who headed the Battery attack by pounding out two homers which almost blasted Stull from his citadel, and accounted for four of his team's nine runs. Gordon Stcw- _ art, playing right field for the locals, "~ played almost as brilliantly defen- sively as Gaudet played offensively,

handling no fewer than five drives '

to his lane. . ~- L. McAleer and B. McAleer were _

Alvin Crowder, deserted by his de- fence, was given the noisiest ovation of all when he stepped up to bat in the third inning. Dizzy was booed in the suns inning when he shot two "dustnrs" it Cochrane in succession. Dizzy almost injured the Tiger bat- boy, too, when ills bat slipped out of his hand and travelled 30 feet.
