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.
