Unquestionab- ly the highlight of the campaign was the stupen- dous stretch drive of Charlie Grimm's Chicago club to overhaul and pass the St. Louis Card- winning streak 1' that reached 2i games. The Card- inals‘ pitching staff collapsed and ~ the overworked Dean brothers were “Rflble to carry the burden. The Cubs‘ run started on September 4 and the Phiiiies.

The World Series was the rich- 3 of the depression era, the gross receipts. including $100,000 for broadcasting privileges, totalled $1,- 173,794. The total paid attendance for the six games was 286,672. Each Detroit player earned $6,831.88: gach Chicago player $4,392.12. The Players’ pool was a. record one, tot- aliiq $4l4.50'l.60. I nnmcns HURLS npsr Goose Goslln_ T°mmy Bfldkas was the series pitching star for the Tigers, win- ning two games without relief. Rowe and Crowder were credited with the others. Lon Warneke won both games for Chicago, though he failed to finish the fifth game due to a shoulder ailment. Lee relieved him and pitched winning ball to protect a. slim Chicago lead. Detroit won the sixth game and the series with a run in the ninth inning. Goose Goslili delivered the winning hit and emerged as the series hero. Manager Micky Cochrane was on base and counted the deciding run. Babe Ruth reached the end of his playing _career under somewhat unfortunate ‘circumstances. He op- ened the Benson with the Boston Braves but a disagreement vinth President Emil Fuchs resulted in a parting and the greatest figure in the game for more than a. decade retired from the field, and not too gracefully.

Night baseball was introduced to Major ‘League fandom by the Cin- 'cinnati club and instant financial and theatrical success indicates that it will be played more extensively in coming seasons. Of particular interest to Canad- ian fans was the wnning of the ‘In- ternational League pennant by the Montreal Royals under the leader- ship of Frank J. Shaughnessy. The Royals proved themselvp the best team in the league, went out in , front in August and finished with a comfortable margin over the sec- , ond pace Buffalo Bisons.
