I - -- -- - -- - a long drive into left that missed the top of the screen by inches. It bounced off the wire for a double, but Fox was left there a moment later when Rogell flied to Lindstrom in center who misjudged the ball, but finally snagged it. Cubs Threaten Again The Cubs threatened again in the third. Greenberg robbed Herman of an extra base hit when he threw his gloved hand across his body, leaped high in the air and pulled down a screaming liner. Lindstrom's short fly fell safely in left for a Texas League single, but Rowe got Hartnett with a third strike. The hit and run was on and Gehringer made a very fine play on Cochrane's high throw, pulling it down to get Gabby sliding into the bag. It was a very close play. Jo Jo White got a single after two were out in the Tiger half of the third, but Cochrane dribbled an easy roller to Warneke, who threw him out at first. In the Cub fourth, Demaree lined a hit past Rogell's glove, went to sec- ond when Phil Cavarretta layed down a perfect bunt, and got to third as Gehringer threw out Hack. Jurges left him stranded however when he missed a third strike. The Tigers' best scoring chance came in the fourth when with one out, Greenberg and Rogell walked. Fox was out on a close play at first that brought the crowd to its feet, both runners advancing. The stage was set for Rogell to tie up the score with a hit, but the best he could do was a roller to Cavarretta at first who beat him to the bag. Rowe Doubles Rowe gave the Bengals a ray of hope in the fifth when he doubled with one down, but he was left when both White and Cochrane failed to get the ball out of the infield. In the seventh Owen walked after two were out. Rowe drove a well hit ball to left center that looked like it was bleacher headed, but it faded toward center and Lindstrom pulled it downawith his back to the screen. The last Tiger effort was a single by Pete Fox, his second hit of the game, but Warneke was not to be denied as he made Rogell pop to Cav- arretta, and Owen grounded out, sec- ond to first. Detroit was downcast, but hopeful last night as the only real merriment in the city was created by Cub fans who were bent on celebrating their victory. The* second game of the series will be. played at 1:30 p.m. to- day. The probable pitching choices are Tommy Bridges for the Tigers and Charley Root for the Cubs. FJ U i J 1 I L J J r r i Lon Warneke, Chicago Cub's ace moundsman caused Detroit no end of trouble yesterday throwing all he had by the Bengals to win the first game of the 1935 World Series. His offerings netted the American League Champs but four scatteredj hits. Big Ten Begins Fourtieth Year Saturday Night With the opening kick-off of the Purdue-Northwestern football gamne Saturday night, the Western Confer- ence will begin its fortieth season of athletic competition. In 1895 the Intercollegiate Confer- ence of Faculty representatives held its first meeting. On January 11 presidents of seven universities met in Chicago at the suggestion of Pres- ident Smart of Purdue with the ex- pressed purpose of considering the future of athletics at the schools rep- resented. Little was accomplished at this meeting, but the following year an- other discussion was held and a con- ference was organized popularly known as the "Big Seven." Included in it were Michigan, Northwestern, Purdue, Chicago, Illinois, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. The "Big Seven" was the second re- gional collegiate conference formed, following a short time after the Southern Conference and although others have sprung up in every part of the country, none has ever at- tained the prestige of the Western Conference. In 1899 Indiana and Iowa univer- sities were admitted and the "Big Seven" became the "Big Nine" until 1908 when Michigan dropped out be- cause of a disagreement of policy. Almost from the beginning Wolverine teams, especially football, had dom- inated the Conference. The entrance of Ohio State in 1912 brought about a revival of the name of "Big Nine" and in 1917 Michigan re-entered and ended the formative part of the Big Ten's history. Following the War the Conference gained importance in the athletic world with great rapidity. In 1927 it became the first of the athletic con-1 ferences to state its aims. Among these objectives were the development of sportsmanship, the fostering of; healthy recreation for the student, and the offering of opportunity forI athletic competition to as many asj possible.t In the last few years Western Con- ference teams have dominated almost every sport. National collegiate foot- ball, basketball, swimming, golf, and wrestling titles are held or have beenl won by Big Ten squads and Confer-r ence teams are considered as major opponents by every school in the country.E Earned runs - Chicago 2.
