 Thomas Joseph Thevcnow had the most satisfying afternoon of his 23 years. The strong-armed shortstop who was born in Illinois but lives in Indiana. drove In two Of the three runs the Cards counted and with two great fielding plays turned the Yankees back when less efficient work by the dashing youngster would have spilled tho beans and gold for the men who were to take the first championship in years be- yond the "Ole Miss

Marks for attendance and receipts who paid s1,907,S6i for the privileged status, single game figures were moved up a new notchcs in New York and St. Louis made records only to break them at Sportsman's Park.
 Babe Ruth crashed his way to added glory in a series in which his presence alone made q new mark seven for an individual.

 For the third year In succession, the annual baseball classic was eX- tended to its natural limit of seven games and for the third time in as many seasons the ultimate winner came from behind. The Yankees moved on the west with q one-gamc margin three 10 two. The Cards wiped it out Saturday and went away from here yesterday.
 The Yankees spent the series see ing advantages lost. In front with a first game victory. the series was deadlockcd in the second game. St. Louis forged ahead on its first ap- pcarance before the home folk. only to see the count knottcd again and then the invaders go out in front.
 The pinch pitching of Alexander and the pinch hitting of Thevcnow stood out for the winners of the h- nal game. Babe Ruth, colorful 10 the last. played the string out get ting home run on his only chance 10 hit the ball. as he was passed four times. The great sluSgcr also made q hair-raising catch. making his scn- sational fielding feats for the series thrcc-a marvellous catch and per feet throw to retire a runner at the plate having made baseball history in prcvous games.
 Waite Hoyt. old in baseball be- vond his ycars,. pitched well enough 10 win but his mates did not field so well as he pitched and he finished his world series participation in mid game to let q pinch hitter swing for him. Pennock finished game already lost without further dam- age 10 his reputation.
 The Yankees blasted the supersti- ton that the team scoring the first runF wins, for Ruth hit his home run in tho third inning when the Cardinals were absolutely innocent of offensive results. Not for long vas the lead to stand,
 The Cards were up and at them in tn" fourth. The start was not suspicious however. Hornsby rolled to Hoyt. Brt Bottomloy sent left handed single to left Lester Bell hit hard 10 ehortstop. Koenig with his eye on a double play and his head q few laps ahead of his hands, failed 10 hold the rushing roller. All hands wore safe. Hafoy then gave the Eanl5ccs a chance to show that the pop fy disease was contagious. His loft between I[oonig and Meusol would have been easy for either had the other dear charmcr remained away. It was hit under the cir cumstGnCos. and the bases were full 10 ovcrfow;nC. O'Farrcll sent high fly 10 NeUsnl.

Thcvcnow then arranged for what proved 10 be winning runs, his single 10 right sent Fell and Hafcy homo. That was all hut it proved enough.
 The Yankees made another run in the sixth through q combination of Dugan's single and Scycrcid's double.
 AleNandcr's dramatic entrance came in tho seventh. Th" bases had been nllod with q hit by Combs and passes to Ruth and Gchrig with outs by KooniE and Mcusol in between. Alexander came 10 strike out Lag zori and illustrate that where the krucklo ball may prove a menace. tho side arm is powerful and will prevail,
 There was ono moment of thrill left in tho game X world champion ghip could not ho awarded until Ruth had his say T tho ninth.
