...first game of last week's World Series between the New York Giants and the New York Yankees, Pitcher Carl Hubbell of the Giants made just one mistake. That was a pitch which Yankee Outfielder Selkirk knocked into the right-field stands in the third inning for a home run. In a cold rain that started in the second inning, kept up throughout the game, Giant batters slowly ground out runs against Yankee Pitcher Ruffing-one in the fifth on Bartell's homer, another in the sixth, four more in the eighth when the Yankee infield blundered. Giants...
...Stewart, like Hubbell a lefthander. It made good fun, but not for Pitcher Stewart. The first man to face him made first base on an error. Mel Ott, short, boyish rightfielder. stepped to bat for his first time in a World Series and bashed a home-run into the right-field stand. Again in the third, Ott (who was to make four hits in four chances) drove in a run, and drove Stewart out of the box. The Giants, whom sports writers had called "the hitless wonders" of the National League, were ahead...
...Shortstop "Blondy" Ryan. Ryan juggled it and then, without waiting to get hold of the ball, batted it three yards with the flat of his hand to Critz at second base, nailing the runner from first. Next up was old "Goose" Goslin. He whacked the ball against the right-field fence. It was foul by a few feet. He whacked a liner over first base but it streaked smack into Giant-Manager Bill Terry's glove. The tension thus lifted returned redoubled in the ninth. The Senators filled the bases. A sacrifice pushed one runner across the plate...
...with six consecutive hits. After Loughlin had rolled to the box, Adams was safe on a scratch infield single to Neel. Then in quick succession Ware followed with a Texas leaguer that dropped in short left and Thacher scorched a two-bagger which bounded in to the right-field stands. Adams crossed the plate but Ware was held on third by the two-base rule. With the infield playing close, Nevin cracked out a single to Gerhart to bring in both Ware and Thacher, giving the Crimson three runs to Princeton's none...
...blue, the crowd was happy. It was a Sunday ball game. Suddenly, without warning, clouds appeared, thunder clapped, rain poured down. Straw hats, spring clothes were in danger. The bleacherites arose en masse and rushed for the wire-lined exits. The exits were small, the rushers many. In the right-field bleacher section, called "Ruthville" because George Herman ("Babe") Ruth knocks most of his homeruns there, a young girl and an old man were trampled to death, 62 others injured...
