SEVERAL RECORDS l BROKEN IN SERIES
Teams Divide New Marks
 Mack Captures Fifth Title

New lOrk, oCt. T@AltuOuSH the 1880 World series never will be famous for it's record breaking, half dozen new marks for worlds championship play were inscribed on the books by the Athletics and the Cardinals. And the records are evenly divided between the most and the least. Frank Frisch, veteran Cardinal 1 second baseman led on the positive side as he collected five hits in the six games to set a new total series record of 45 safe blows. He tied the old record of 42, made by Eddie Collins in six worlds series for the Athletics and White Sox, in the first game, then cracked out three more blows. Frisch also has par tcipated in six series. The former Fordham flash fell below the 300 mark for the series. however. and dropped his all-time average for championship play to 1924 from .34S.
 Five Doubles for Hafey
 Right behind Frisch, his team- mate, Chick Hafey set a new mark by slashng out five two base hits, one higher than the total which formerly gave a large group of players a tie for the record. The Athletics set mark of new kind when they went through two games without getting a one base hit, all hlnu-o vt, ir the first clash, they made five long hits and in the last seven ex- tra base Wallops, in each case they scored run for every hit.
 The As also put their great lead CT. Connie Mack, still farther ahead Of all Major League managers in getting results with his clubs. Cn- der his guidance, Philadelphia has won five World championships, and has lost in the Worlds series only twice. John McGraw has led the New York Giants to three Worlds titles in nine attempts while the New York Yankees under Miller Higgins also won three times
 Few Assists Made
 On the low side of the record on assists stood out. In the second game of the series, the Cardinals had only four assists, one under the l former low mark made by the Yankees. while the Athletics had i've setting 8 new low record for both teams. Three days later, in the fourth game, the Athletics re- corded only three assists, again breaking the record. They also equalled the low mark in base steal ing as a theft by Frank Frisch was the only one for the series. Last year the Athletics failed to steal | base and the Cubs pilfered only one \
 Among the near records, the Ath- letics feat of getting v bases on their 35 hits is about the closest thing to a new mark. Other teams have made good many more total bases on their World series hits but never on so few blows. George Earnshaw, the series hero, famed 19 men in three games. threaten ing the record of strikeouts made by Joe Wood of the Boston Red Sox in 1912 and Jim Bottomley came close to another mark when he struck out nine times, one below George kelley's "goat' mark made in 1921.
