TWO MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE gQfirT BROVNS CAPTURE FIRST PENNANT IN LEAGUEKISTORY Cinderella Boys Whip Yanks ; Four Straight to Nose Out "igers by One Game By Leo H. Petersen ' United Press Sports Editor St. Louis, Oct. 2 (U.R) The St. Louis Browns carried the American League pennant Into the world series today for the first time In history. The Cinderella boys won It the hard way, nosing out the De troit Tiners by a one game mar gin on the last day of the season. They will go Into the scries opening Wednesday with their Intra-city rivals, the St. Louis Cardinals, under-dogs, but no one who saw them whip the New York Yankees In four straight games was soiling them short and with fans the country over, thev will be the sentimen tal favorites. Goal In Clutch The fipht that won them the Browns first world series gold since the American League be gan operating In 1001 was mag nificent. They went down to the last day to win, and. as they had been showing all season long, they ha what It takes In the clutch. No one. Including their manager Luke Sewell. could class them a great club, but they have fisht and courage. Everyone of them was a hero to all the others and outstanding of these heroes was Chet Laabs. whose two home runs provided the power to down the Yankees yesterdnv In Sportsman's Park In the gnme that meant gold and glory. The score was 3 to z. It was 22 years a"o that the Browns made their first serious bid for an American League pennant. They lost then to the Yankees by one game, So It was satisfying that the Yankees were the victims this vear. At Detroit, the last place Washington Sena tors gave the Browns the assist ance they needed by defeating the Tigers with whom the Browns were tied when the last games started. f WW WITH William UNDID WHISKIT moor )- CHAIN NIUISAl (flSITf v.vv-Vv' n af -ill mm mm OOODLKHAM I WORTS ITD. .
