Yankees turned back the st.
Louis Cardinals, 7 to 4, in the
first game of the World Series
here today, but they had a bad
scare in the ninth inning.
When the game was over, old
Red Ruffing, who had set a rec
ord for hitless innings in & series
game, had retired in favor of
Spud Chandler, who finally got
the Cardinals out after they had
scored four runs.
The New York mound veteran
held the Cards helpless throughout
the game and they did not get a
hit off him until two men were out
in the eighth inning.
BY going seven and two-thirds in
nings without yielding hit, Ruffing
set World Series record, exceeding
the seven and one-third frames Of
hitless ball pitched by Herb Pennock
and Monte Pearson in 1927 and 1899,
respectively.
| Ruffing also is the first pitcher to
win seven series games.
