New York | Yankees snatched the fourth ’38 World's Series game* from Chi. cago Cubs, 8 to 3, and decided the} season’s issue right then and| there. An error by shortstop Jurges in the second inning set the scene for a Yankee three-run rally and{ a lead they never relinquished. | A home run by O’Dea, after one run had been scored, put thej ‘Cubs close to the Yanks but they never got any closer after that | fatal eighth. Hartnett sent in pitcher after pitcher in a vain at- tempt to stem the tide of defeat but the Yanks marched on to put the game on ice with a four- run rally. In all, the Yanks collected 11 safeties off Lee, Root, Page, French, Carleton and Dean. Red Ruffing, victor of the opener con- test, went the route for “Mur- derers’ Row”, hanging up his sec- ond win. Bruins collected eight | bingles off his deliveries. It was the third straight World's Series victory for New| York Yankees, thereby setting a record that has never been made in the history of baseball.
