Batting in the ninth, the Yankees put three men on base with no one out. Then John Miljus, Pittsburgh pitcher, struck out Batters Gehrig and Meusel and had one strike on Batter Lazzeri.

After an entertaining series of adventures in which the audience sees expertly photographed pictures of Mike Donlin, Irish Meusel, Bob Meusel, Tony Lazzeri in real baseball action and almost smells the fresh rolled diamond, the frowsy gloves, the players' sweaters, the hero is filmed winning the final world series game for his team by sliding for home with a vicious lunge that sweeps him along the ground halfway from third...
