Seven-Run Rally The battering Yanks won their twentieth series for the American League against thirteen for the Na- tionals and climaxed the day and series by scoring seven runs in the ninth inning rally. The terrific batting power of the Yankees is estimated when four hurlers, starting with unlucky Fred Fitgsimmons, were given a hard pummeling. i Decisive Victories Never before has a world series team gone down by such decisive margins as the second and last games of the series. Four Hurlers Belted The Yanks belted Fitzsimmons, Castleman, Coffman and Gumbert for seventeen hits, including a home run by Powell, who was the hitting star of the day with three safe- ties.
