BOSTON, Oct. 14.-The thing
tat couldn't have occurred. The
absurd has become a re-
atty. The impossible and vain is
true. Boston's Braves are worlds
C1ampiors after the most astound-
i~g worlds series ever played. Their
victory, 3 to 1, over the worlds
onsmpior Athletics reversed the title
yesterday and won for the astonish-
ing Braves not only the title, but
the first time it ever has been won
