CHICAGO, Oct. 3.--The
New York Yankees once more
are monarchs of the baseball
world after a fantastic world
series which ranged from the
to the ridiculous.
The Yanks won in a breeze
in four straight games, leav-
ing the Chicago Cubs dazed
and bewildered by the great
est exhibition of power in the
twenty-nine years of world
series play.
1t was the third time in six years
the Yanks had won the world
in four straight games
without defeat or a tie, a record
in world series COM
petition.
The Yanks previously had won
the 1927 and 1923 world series from
the Pirates and Cardinals, reSpec-
lively, in four straight each.
1884 See Final
Battering down the last Cubs
ramparts with a Herculean attack,
the Yanks won the final game Sun
day before 1884 persons by the
breaking score of Is to 6.
Nineteen runs by two clubs is a
new record for one world series
game, and the thirteen runs made
by the Yanks ties the record for
most runs made in one game held
jointly by the Philadelphia Athletics
of 1911 and New York Giants of
1921.
The Yanks leased the Cubs,
tossed away runs by slovenly, de-
fensive play, and even on occasions
were feeble at bat.
But when the score got close and
they needed runs, the Yanks
trained their siege guns, drove
pitcher after pitcher from the
and marched on to victory
TO the song of singing base hits.
Set Runs Record
The Yankees rolled up a total of
runs in the four games,
the largest total ever made by any
team in the world series.
The Cubs weren't quite as bad as
the Yanks made them look when
Colonel Jake Ruppert's boys were
blasting hits all over the premises.
At times the Cubs outplayed the
Yanks over a stretch of several in
nings, but they buckled under the
strain, and went into a nosedive
when the Yanks started smuggling.
A total of 1895 persons spent
$713,377 to see the series, and they
saw some of the fanciest hammer
and tongs batting that ever was put
on in baseball's big show.
The Yanks amassed seventy-five
total bases, another new record for
a four game series. The Yanks'
eight home runs came within one
of tying their own record.
The series produced perhaps the
greatest array of records in world
series history. Babe Ruth, playing
in his tenth series, alone set thir-
teen new marks.
Winning pitchers for the Yanks
were Red Ruf1ng, Lefty Gomez,
George Pipgras and Wiley Moore in
that order.
The Cubs hit them all, but they
couldn't beat them. Rufing and
Gomez went the route.
Pipgras was rescued by Herb Pen
mock, veteran Southpaw, in the third
game. Pennock also pitched three
innings of the final game, reliev-
ing Moore, who had given way to
a pinch hitter. Allen, who started
the game, was driven out of the box
in the first inning.
Mccarthy Joins Greats
Baseball's queer way of hooking
fate never was more ironically dem
onstrated than in the case of Joe
Mccarthy, Yanks' manager.
Two years ago he was fired by the
Cubs because he was considered in
capable of building world cham
pionShip team.
Today, he was the third manager
ever to win a world title in four
games, taking his place along side
George Stallings, leader of the
Boston Braves of 1914, and Miller
Higgins, pilot of the 1927-1928
Yankees.
Individual batting honors for the
series went to Lou Gehrig, Yanks
big first baseman, who led all hit
tiers with an average of .529. He
made nine hits, scored nine runs
and batted in eight runs. Riggs
Stephenson led the Cubs in batting
with 444
