power in the twenty-nine years of world series play It was the third time In six years the Yanks had won the world in four straight games out a defeat or tie and enabled them to hang up the

down the last Cubs parts with a Herculean attack the Yanks won the final game Sunday before persons by the breaking score of Nineteen runs by two clubs Is a new record for one world series game and the thirteen runs made by the Yanks ties the record for most runs made in one game held jointly by the Philadelphia Athletics of 1911 and the New York Giants of 1921 The Yanks of 1932 are not the greatest all-round team in baseball annals by a long shot but for sheer unadulterated power they haven't an equal They teased the Cubs tossed away runs by slovenly defensive play and even on occasions were feeble at bat But when the acore got close and they needed runs the Yanks trained their seige guns on the choicest of- ferings of the best pitching staff in the National league drove pitcher after pitcher from the mound and marched on to victory to the song of stinging base hits The Yankees rolled up a total of 37 runs in the four games the largest total ever made by any team in the world
