 New York, Oct. 7-(UP)-Joe Mo- Carthy, who never played 8 big league baseball game in his life, hoisted the fifth worlds champion ship pennant over the New York Yankee power house today. There were some who doubted, nlomentarily, just how much volt age those Yankee dynamos could generate when the New York Giants, playing to a grand stand packed with 3s,417 cash customers in the final game of the worlds series yes- terday, started of with a two-run lead in the first inning.
 But the same high tension fre- quency with which the Tanks shocked the entire American league into submission this year was soon into play and Col. Bill Terry's boys were left gasping under 13 to 5 score that gave the 1936 classic to the Mccarthy team, by four games to two.
 The Yankee wrecking crew, which already had amazed the statisticians by hanging up & new world series record of 18 runs in one game, to the Giants 5, drove home 2 of their 13 runs yesterday in then inth in- ming to clinch the championship and break their own world record for last inning tallies.
 This was the second world cham pionship to fall to Manager Me- Carthy and it was witnessed by one of the smallest attendance of the series. Nevertheless, the crowd brought the aggregate attendance to 302, ,924, a record for six games, and the second highest figure ever attained in any worlds series.
 Yesterdays customers paid $169,- S21 to see the Giants electrocution, bringing the series total up to $l,- 203, ,399, just s. ,465 short of the all- time high for worlds series gate receipts in 1926 in the Yankee Cardinal series.
 The Yankees crashed one record after another. this year to ascend bascball's highest pinnacle, winning tho American league pennant by the largest margin it was ever won by any team, IS games.
 Swinging into the worlds series they lost the first game to the Giants through combination of ISin, mud ana too much Carl Hubbell. In the next game thzy scored 18 runs against the National league pennant winners, five runs more than ever scored before in a world series game.
 Continuing their championship march, the Yankees took the next two games but were nosed out of the fifth game, 5 to 4, in 10 innings, by Hal Schumacher's stout-hearted pitching.
 In spite of a courageous rally by tho Giants in the last game yester- day, in which Bill Terry used bat ting practice pitchers, substitutes. old men ending their careers-ali his available manpower-there was no stopping the Tanks who swarmed all over the Polo Grounds in the ninth to whang in the greatest num- Der of ninth inning runs in series history.
 In that historic ninth inning, 13 men came to bat, seven crossed the plate in a finish unparalleled in world series history.
 Johnny Murphy, former Fordham star, rose to supreme heights with that blazing. fast ball of his, al- lowing the desperate Giants only one hit, and that home run by Joe Moore. their left fielder, after he relieved Lefty Gomez in the sev- ez1th inning.
 Gomez, the 26 year old, $2o,O0o a year southpaw, who two years ago was acclaimed the greatest pitcher in baseball, at that time, came back with a flourish to get credit for two of the Yankees four triumphs.
