 It was the third time in six years the Tanks had won the world championship in four straight games without defeat or tie. u enabled them to hang up the un- paralelled record of 12 straight triumphs in world series competi- tion. The Tanks previously had won the 1927 and 1928 world ser les from the Pirates and Cardinals respectively, in four straight each.
 Records Galore
 The Tanks won the final game Sunday before 49,844 persons by the record d-breaking score of 13-6. Nineteen runs by two clubs IS a new record for one world series game, and the 13 runs made by the Tanks ties the record for most runs made in one game held joint ly by the Philadelphia Athletics of 1911 and New York Giants of 1921.
 The Tanks of 1882 are not the gre.test all-round team in baseball annals by long shot. but for sheer unadulterated power they haven't an equal. They leased the Cubs, tossed away runs by slovenly de- fensive play, and on occasions were feeble at bat.
 
 they needed runs, the Tanks train ed their siege guns on the choicest offerings of the best pitching stair in the National League, drove pit cher after pitcher from the mound and marched on to victory to the song of stinging basehits.
 Hits Produce Runs
 The Yankees rolled up total of 37 runs in the four games, the largest total ever made by any team in the world series. The As scored 35 runs in beating the Cubs in 1910. The nearest approach to the Yaaks' new record is 35 runs made by the Cincinnati Reds in eight gImes in the 1919 world series which was later exposed as a fraud. Throwing out the Reds tainted record, the next best mark is 34 runs in seven games made by Pittsburg against Detroit in 1909.
 The Cubs weren't quite as bad as the Tanks made them look when Colonel Jake Ruppert's boys were blasting hits all over the premises.
 A total of 91,99S persons spent 3713,377 to see the series, and they saw some of the fanciest hammer and tongs batting ever offered in baseball's big show. The Tanks amassed 75 total bases, another new record for q 4-game series. The Tanks eight home runs came with in one of trying their own record.
 The games also produced some of the most wretched fielding in a long span of years. The Tanks were guilty of errors, and the Cubs 6. There were numerous stu bid plays which couldn't be placed in the error column.
 Babe Ruth, playing in his 10th series, alone set 5 new marks, and both teams produced the greatest array of records in world series History.
 TwirIcrs Collapse
 The Cubs collapse may be trac- ed directly to the ineffectiveness of the pitching staff, regarded before the series as their strongest point. Guy Bush, Lon Warneke, Charley Root, Jakie May, BurleiSh Grimes, and Bob Smith were powerless. In the final game the Cubs used five pitchers.
 Winning pitchers for the Tanks were Red Ruffing, Lefty Gomez. George Pipgras and Wiley Moore in that order. The Cubs hit them all but they couldn't beat them. Ruffng and Gomez went the route. Pipgras was rescued by Herb Pen mock, veteran southpaW, in the third game. Pennock also pitched 3 innings of the final game relieving Moore who had given way to a pinch hitter. Allen, who started the game, was driven out of the box in the first inning.
 Personal Triumph
 Baseball's queer way of mockinG fate was never more ironically de Nmonstrated than in the case of Joe
