New York, To-day. Over 50,000,000 people listen: ed in to the "comedy of errors" by the Detroit Tigers in the first_game of the World Baseball Series, American sports classic, in which Frankie Frisch's St. Louis Cardin- alc, National League champions, beat their American League rivals by an 8 to 3 margin at Navin Field, Detroit, yesterday.

The Tigers' "iron-man" infield sensationally collapsed, while their star batters were com- pletely subdued by Dizzy Dean, who, contrary to expectations was put on the mound and con- tinued his incredible pitching triumphs.
