ST. LOUIS, Mo., Oct. 9.—The New York Yankees won the
World Series today from the St. Louis Cardinals, National
League champions by a score of 7 to 3. The Yanks won the
first four game* of the series, thereby shutting out the Cardi-
nals who failed to win a single game.
Babe Ruth was the feature of the game, getting three home
runs today. He scored his first four-bagger in the fourth, the
second in the seventh, and wound up the game by knocking
another onto the roof of the pavilion over the bleachers which
bounced onto the roof of a building across the street, in the
eighth.
The Cardinals broke in the seventh, after holding the
Yankees by a 2 to 1 score, when Babe Ruth knocked a home
run. Gehrig followed the Bambino with a fence-buster, after
which Meusel got a double and Combs sacrificed to bring in
Meusel.
In the eighth, Durst, the first man up, got a home run.
Koenig struck out, and Babe Ruth hit his third homer of the
game. The Cardinals wilted, but managed to put the Yanks
out before they scored any mere tallies.
New York failed to score in the ninth, but the Cards scor-
ed one more in their last vain attempt to check the victorious
Yanks.
The Yankees marched off the field amid the roar of thou-
sands of fans with the 1928 World Series rag safely tucked
away.
Millionaire’s Widow Leaps To Death From Apartment
¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥
(International News Service)
' NEW YORK. N. Y„ Oct. 9—Des
pondent over the death oi her million-
aire husband two weeks ago, Mrs.
Arthur E Stillwell, 68,' leaped to a
horrible death from her fashionable
apartment in the twelvth story of a
New York Hotel today.
The body of the widow of the late-
ly deceased millionaire was found
soon after her suicide on the robf of
an adjoining four story building. It
was badly mangled, and officials were
led to belivee that she met her death
instantly.
The couple had been carried for 49
years, and had resided in this city for
many years. Stillwell's death is said
to have left her in such worry that
she bad never regained complete com-
posure after his passing. Business
troubles had nothing to do with her
death, it was reported.
A sealed farewell note which was
written by Mrs. Stillwell, apparently
penned just before she leaped from
the window, was found by officers in-
vestigating her room early this morn-
ing after the tragedy, and it was im-
mediately turned over to police author
- ities.
The coroper's verdict returned soon
after the discovery gave suicide
the cause of the woman’s death.
