EN- ROUTE TO NEW YORK, Oct. 7.
Except for the fashionable huzzahs
that will be sounded about SUNDAY
night In the Yankee Stadium. that
ghttering gathering place of basebalrs
socialites up in the Bronx, the 1888
World Series appears to be all wrapped
up.
The Yankees are too good. Too
good for the Chicago Cubs and pos
sibly too good for the future of base
ball. AS the two clubs head into New
York to resume the unequal contest
on Saturday. with the Yankees already
twice victorious, there isn't much to
wonder about except whether Col Jake
Ruppert's super team will make it four
straight.
The general belief on this railway
carriage is that they will When
Frank Crosetti and Joe Di Maggie
raped those late-inning home runs
to beat Dizzy Dean, s to 3, yesterday,
the most obstinate hackers of the Cubs
gave up
II the Yanks had done it sooner,
1t wouldn't have been quite so bad.
But they messed along and let Diz
look the biggest hero since Sergt. York
for 72s innings. Then they reached
out and slapped him down. 1t seemed
like something went out of baseball
when Dean shuff1ed off the field in the
ninth, with final quick glance at
the left field wall that had wrecked
his hopes.
What chance the Cubs had of out
gaming or outlucking the world cham
pions in the series went off the field
with Diz. If he had won his great
effort by the score of to 2, as 1t
seemed he would going into the eighth.
then the series might have developed
into dog fight. But no club, barring
miracle, can spot this Yankee team
| two games.
For those who are impressed by
| figures. yesterdays was the twentieth
| victory scored by the Yankees in their
| % World Series games since 1927. No
club ever before so dominated the
game. Their weakest member, Frankie
Crosetti, high-lighted the opening
| game with his fielding and yesterday
the little shortstop with the piping
voice hit the homer that virtually
settled the series. aybe that is sig
| nif1cant.
Gomez Misses Victory View.
It is happy job pitching for the
Yankees. Vernon Lefty" Gomez yes
| terday became the first pitcher ever to
win his sixth straight World Series vic
| tory without having suffered a loss,
| and Ell Goofy was enjoying nice
warm shower at the time.
Lefty, who had been maced right
merrily by the Cubs as they ran up
| their 3-to-2 lead in the early innings,
| had retired for a pinch-hitter just
before Crosetti buggy-whipped Dizzy's
fast ball" into the bleachers in the
eighth. In fact, it was the pinch
hitter, Myril Hoag, who rode in on the
big punch, so that made Lefty the
winning pitcher. =,
Deans "fast ball'' is inclosed in
quotations because it is very slow COM
pared to the specimens that Diz used
to rear back and fire across the plate
in other days when he strode the
mound like a colossus and stared in
astonishment when somebody knocked
one back at him, But it is the best
fast ball he has now, Nobody will
ever know how he held the Yankees
to three hits, one of them an outright
piece of luck, for seven innings.
After the game Manager Joe Nc
carthy matted himself over the heart
and said: "That fellow Dean has one
OF these" Hartnett said in the dress
ing room: "Diz, you gave me every
thing YOU had-and with sore arm. =
