NEW YORK, Oct. 1o.-They1l be
remembering Carl Reynolds Is the
"All-America out" for this World
Series.
The ex-American Lacquer, who re-
turned to the big show this year with
the Chicago Cubs and batted neat
800 in the National Leagues regular
season, was officially ut bat II TIMES
in the four games Of the just-ended
fall classic with the Yahkees-and he
failed, completely and entirely. to
make . single safe hit.
That Is . batting honor" few have
equalled in the history Of World Series.
In fact, the last time . player went
for . line Of goose eggs" in the COM
posite box score for q series was in
1911, when John Murray of the New
York Giants did it. Only four others
did 1t before Murray.
Reynolds' Failure Unique.
In q lot Of ways, Reynolds work
at the plate was unique in the 1888
championship set, even in the face Of
Lefty Gomez's six-game indicated
winning streak for his series career,
or Bill Dickey's four singles in the
first game, or Stan Hacks seven sim
sles to equal q mark for q four-game
series, or the New York Yankees un-
precedented feat of winning three
world championships in . row.
For instance. Reynolds hit exactly
one ball out Of the infield in his string
of hard luck. He famed three times,
hit into double plays twice. His prede-
cessors In the record stunt could
hardly boast such = slump as that.
Generally speaking, however, the
1898 series, short and sweet and COM
pletely one-sided. showed few impor-
tant changes in the record books.
Gomez's new mark probably was
the most important. Up to this fall
he had been deadlocked among the
World Series undefeated pitchers with
Jack Coombs, the Athletics old-time
strong man, and Herb Pennock, the
classy hurler of the Yanks' great
ball clubs Of the middle eos.
Homers Get Mark for Gomez.
He turned in the lone poor per-
Torrance for . Yankee pitcher in
the just ended series, but his victory
was saved when Dizzy Dean tossed 4
pair Of home-run balls to Frank Gro
setti and Joe Di Maggie. This gave
Lefty . new aN-time record Of six
victories and no defeats for series
career and deadlocked him for the all
time high with Chief Bender, the
Athletics old-timer. and Waite Hoyt,
ex-Yankee, each Of whom were cred
tied with six victories. although de-
feated at some time during their LONG
series careers.
Dickey whacked four singles in thu
frst game, equaling record set by
Clarence Beaumont Of the Pirates In
1903 and matched four times since
then. Hacks seven singles represent
an equal for the mark for four-game
series which three others also have
tied sizce Johnny Evers frst turned
the trick for the Bees in 1914. Incl
dentally, Hacks All batting average
the series leader, Is the highest in the
National League since Pepper Martin
ran wild for 500 for the Cardinals
, against the Athletics back In 1881,
and the highest in both leagues since
Lou Gehrig's .529 against the Cubs
In 80.
Cubs Slab Parade ID Record.
Red Rufnng, turning In two pitching
victories, equals the mark for four
game series. The Cubs, tossing six
pitchers into the battle in . futile at
tempt to stop the Yanks In yesterdays
final game. also put one In the books
Bill Lees two losses still Is one more
for . four game series.
OF course, you can't overlook the
Yankees neutrality-suspicious.
feat Of three straight World Series,
which marked = new high Of seven
world championships for themselves,
breaking their own record of six. The
gate receipts and the individual
players shares, both winners and losers,
also hit new highs for = four-game
series.
