Died. Arthur Nehf, 68, mild-mannered lefthander who helped pitch John McGraw's New York Giants to four National League pennants in a row (1921-24); of cancer; in Phoenix, Ariz...
...nine innings at Braves Field, a crowd of 40,135 sat spellbound by the tightest World Series pitchers' duel since Art Nehf beat Sad Sam Jones in 1923. Sain kept feeding the Indians big, jug-handle curves, interspersed with little curves, until they were fit to be tied. His control was uncanny; he allowed four hits and not one walk.

He hit Miller in the ribs with a crazy pitch while the Athletics in their clean cream-colored uniforms continued to run around the bases. After that inning...
