WORLD SERIES

Cubs 3 - Senators 10: Washington clobbered Cubs starter Sam Vidas for 10 runs, 14 hits and 4 walks over 7 1/3 IP. Jethro "Dodge" Lee made his WS debut, allowing 3 runs (2 earned) off 11 hits with 9 K's in a complete game victory.

Cubs 8 - Senators 7: The Cubs scored 4 runs in the 1st off Micky Guyton, but it was their own starter, John "Bucky" Smith, who was forced to leave the game in the 2nd inning with a sore elbow. The Cubs had a 6-2 lead going into the bottom of the 6th, but a 3-run homerun by first baseman Keith Laverick started the scoring in a 5-run inning that gave Washington a 7-6 lead. In the top of the 9th, shortstop Vincent Weatherly hit a 2-run triple with one out and Chicago went on to even the series with a 8-7 win.

Senators 2 - Cubs 8: Chicago scored early and often off all-star Claude Swin. The return of "Punchy" Cote to the mound provided a big boost to the team, and they took a 2-1 series lead.

Senators 8 - Cubs 1: Washington scored 3 runs off Sam Vidas in the first, but he pitched much better after that. But in the late innings, the Washington offense came alive once more to put the game out of reach. Jethro Lee had another great performance, stifling the Chicago offense.

Senators 3 - Cubs 2: John Smith returned to the mound despite an ailing elbow, and he matched with Micky Guyton in an excellent pitching duel. The score was tied 2-2 after the 4th inning and remained that way until Washington catcher Homer Gooch drew a 2-out walk in the top of the 8th. He moved to third on a single by Carl "Dutch" Kahle and scored on a single by Wolter Tjeenk-Willink. A walk to Blake Crocitto loaded the bases, but Smith got centerfielder Sam Kass to fly out and end the threat. Chicago had a runner on 2nd in both the 8th and 9th innings but was unable to score.

Cubs 7 - Senators 5: The Cubs took a 7-0 lead after 4 innings, and although "Punchy" Cote did not have his best stuff on this day, it was good enough to earn a win and even the series at 3 games each.

Cubs 4 - Senators 5: This Game 7 was as exciting as it comes in baseball. Washington threw out dominant ace Jethro Lee and the Cubs used David Wickersham in his first game in over a month, despite later claiming that his shoulder was only "90 percent." Washington took a 3-1 lead and it looked like Lee would once again shut down the Cubs on this day, but Chicago scored 2 runs in the top of the 6th to tie the game. In the bottom of the 8th, Sam Kass hit an RBI double with runners at the corners, giving Washington a 1-run lead. Second baseman Hewie Bartecko then hit a sac fly which gave the Senators a 2-run lead. With 2-outs in the top of the 9th, Cubs centerfielder Michael Brefeld hit a bloop single. He scored when pinch hitter Kip Opitz doubled to left field. With the tying run in scoring position, second baseman Mark Easton came up to face Lee. Easton was 0-for-3 in the game and 2-for-12 against Lee in the series. He smacked a hard line drive toward right field, but Bartecko made a spectacular play and speared the ball from the air, saving a run and winning the series for Washington.

Jethro "Dodge" Lee was named World Series MVP. He went 3-0 with a 2.33 ERA and 20 K's in 27 IP.
