 Series highlghts in the series as seen by The Associated Press writer are:
 The third game went a long way toward establishing the Yankees as the greatest baseball team of all time, and 1t also knocked a super stition of two years standing into cooked hat. In 1925 Bucky Harris refused to put in Dutch Puethcr. his only starting pitcher who had not seen service. because it was com mon belief that the Pirates Were death to left handers. Herb Pen 5 sifotk personally attended to the matter of establishing the fallacy.
 Last year Tommy Thevenow, q weak hitter through the regular National league season, led all the series players in batting. Mark koenig, who finished the American league campaign with a mark of .2SG has hit for .462 in three series games. Lou Gehrig alone tops him with an even 800.
 Paul Waner, Barnhart and Ruth are all hitting at the same clip: .364 with II times at bat and four hits. but Ruth, with q reputation of being the American leagues lead ing run scorer, has crossed the plate three times while Waner and Barn. hart had not scored In the three series contests.
 Ruth has hit his 61st Of the sea a0H. but it doesn't go down in the American league record books as 'lA' H. I H' I'ei''' lHIl " ol ' llS' however. and believes the so will be good enough in his league for while.
 The fans had almost forgotten about Heinie Groh until he came up in the ninth with that bottle bat. choked half way up, and his odd batting stance. His best was weak pop fly to Pennock.
 The right field crowd at the Yankee Stadium is well acquainted i with Ruth. Every time the Bam- hino hits one up in the air his faVorito section ducks. The entire section was on its feet before the ! Babes smash had passed the infleld. {
 Ruth didn't look so good against i Meadows. The Pirate moundsman , was putting his speed on the bad , balls, Just to mix things up, and the ! ones that crossed the plate were . ioatcrs. CvenEros tried 10 slip one oy and while he failed on Ruth he . succeeded against the next two bat CTS, Gchrig and Mcusel.
 Pennock Is the only pitcher on 'ocord with two three hit games to liS credit in world series compe- ition, his first being against the Cardinals last year.
