...ninth. In the fourth game, he set down the White Sox without a hit in the eighth and ninth, was credited with the 5-4 win. By the sixth game Lawrence Sherry was so eager to pitch that he swaggered in from the bullpen in the fourth inning with unconcealed, cocky cheer. He shut out the White Sox the rest of the way, won the 9-3 game that gave the World Series to the Dodgers...
First Game. Opening the series in their own Comiskey Park behind burly, 39-year-old Pitcher Early Wynn (22-10), the no-hit White Sox suddenly turned robust sluggers while the Dodger defense fell apart in a horrendous, seven-run third inning.

...White Sox. The Sox last won a flag 40 years ago. And they did it this season with the weakest bunch of hitters in the major leagues. Catcher Sherman Lollar, with 20 home runs, was their one and only slugger. Once the Chisox treated themselves to an 11-run inning with the benefit of just...
