YANKEE STADIUM, New YORK,
Get. S.-The New York Yankees
won the championship of the base
ball world today. They won by de-
feating the Pittsburgh Pirates for
the fourth consecutive time, win
ming out 4 to 3, in dramatic ninth
inning rally.
A wild pitch by John Miljus,
Pittsburgh reiie1 hurier, with the
bases filled and two out. let Earl
Combs dash home with the winning
tally.
The Pirates fought harder today
than ever before in the series but
that final destructive wild fling
cost them all chance of gaining as
much as a single victory.
Early in the game Babe Ruth put
tremendous homer into the dis
tant right center, scoring Combs a
head of him. This came in the
fifth inning and seemed to put the
game on ice. Wiley Moore was
working we'll for the Yanks but the
Yank S defense cracked twice in
the seventh and the Pirates tied the
score.
Carmen Hill, VINO started for
Pittsburgh was not much better than
any of the other pitchers, DOME
lush has tried during the series.
Hill Is Replaced
Hill gave way to a pinch hitter
in the seventh when the Pirates
scored two runs.
Moore kept the Pirate hits well
scattered but was touched safely 10
times while the Yanks made II hits
off Hill and Miljus.
The last half of the ninth inning
provided drama seldom seen in even
the most exciting of world series
games. Earl Combs had walked and
Mark Koenig reached first on an
infield hit.
With two on and none out Babe
Ruth was purposely passed. filling
the bases and none out.
Then and there Miljus showed
that he had heart of oak, for all
that it was to be that it was his er-
rOr that was to lose the game.
Lou Gehrig came to bat and Mil
jus struck him out. Bob Meusel
followed and the game Pittsburgh
pitcher gave him the same.
Milius was working on Tony
Lazzeri when he made fatal wild
pitch which bounded off johnny
Gooeh 5 glove and Earl Combs came
in with the run that meant the
wolrd s championship.

form down the entire length of
the store, more than q score of
models, wearing fashion 5 latest

pretty Linda Burragc, whose ap-
pcarance was the signal for an
enthusiastic greeting from the

hibition which was particularly
creditablc, and doubly 50 when
it was remembered that those
participating were all local
young people.
Smart evening frocks, in such
vividlv contrasting shades as
shell pink, black, metal cloth
and green were included in the
costumes worn in the pre-view
given in the window. Inside,
the crowd was given an oppor-
tunity to see similar frOcks at
closer view and also to study
the latest modes in afternoon
and sport creations. Variety
was added to the show by the
young men who presented the
togs which the well dressed man
will wear this season, and by n
