 Six Records Broken.
 Six worlds series home run rec- ords were broken. and two more were cqualled in the spectacular battle be- tween the New York Giants and Tanks while several other hitting rec- ords were tumbled.
 Casey Stengel, whose two home runs gave the Giants their decisive margins in both of the teams vic- tories and Babe Ruth. whose pair Of round trip wallops gave the second game to the Tanks were the chief record breakers.
 Stengcl's feat of supplying winning home runs in one series betters the mark of Frank Baker who won two games for the old Athletics with cir cult walops but in separate series 1911 and 1913.
 Three by Babe.
 Three records fell to Ruth. Two homers in single game had been three times before in series history by Pat Dougherty. liar ry Hooper and Benny Kauff but in none of these cases did the wallops loiit III shtiNSsbN1 ulu Ruth's. The Yankee star bagged hits in the fourth and fifth innings of the second game.
 Babes third homer of the series, in the sixth game, broke the record | of two first set by Dougherty. in 1903. md equalled by seven others, includ- ng Stengel this year. Combining this trio with the one he made in the 1921 | series. Ruth tops the best previous mark for total series-three--held jointly by Baker and Larry Gardner ,f Cleveland.
 Two clubs records were broken. The total of ten home runs for the teams is new mark, while the rival teams with five apiece, hare the honor of shattering the ormer high record of three, set by he Philadelphia Athletics in 1911 md duplicated by the Boston Red 'ox in 1915.
 Four Homcrs in Game.
 The record of four home runs by both teams in q single game, set by he Boston Red SoX and Philadelphia : Nationals in 1915 was duplicated in he second contest when Ruth's pair were added to blows by Irish Meusel nd Ward. The Tanks, with three of his quartet also tried the club rec rd for single game set by the Bos- on Red SoX in 1915.
 Joe Dugan who bagged four hits in he fifth game, and Ross Young who olected quartet of bingles in the ourth contest also tied the record for nost hits in single game, first set y Tommy Leach of Pittsburgh, in 90S and since duplicated by nine thers. Whitey Witt added his name to the st of batting heroes with record , f three successive hits, including a race of doubles, in as many consecu- ve innings in the fourth game.
 One of the most unusual batting eats of the series, and of any series as that of Irish Meusel who gath red all three of the hits off Joe Bush
