NEW YORK, Oct. 8. It's all over and there isn't any more. In one of the mos hectic conclusions of a world's series that lacked everythinpr to shelve it with others of the past for brilliance, the Yankees, winning their fourth straight from the Pirates, became the new champions of the realm of baseball today. Dramatic was the finish of the game this afternoon.

Drama didn't enter much in the other but this, it seemed, was reserved for everything that could happen and the fates ordained the Pirates to be the victims, 4 to 3. It saw John Miljus waiver to the extent of filling the bases, steady gain, and with splendid fortitude that drew forth the admiration of nearly 70.000 people in the stadium, come almost to the threshold of tinrlvinz fame in the Grim Resistance of East Lansing Squad and Inaccurate Passing by Wolverines Help Hold Down Score.

Cambridge, Oct. 8. Purdue university, a youngster among American colleges, defeated venerable Harvard, 19 to 0, before 20,000 football fans today.

Outweighed and on a strange gridiron, Purdue flashed to victory by a marvelous combination of overhead plays and driving end runs. Under the westerner's fierce attack, the supposedly sturdy Harvard line crumpled, as Purdue slashed for one first down after another. On defense, the westerners held like Iron and Harvard was able to make only eight first downs to their opponents' 17. Purdue registered a touchdown In every period except the final, and in that waa only three yards from the goal line when the whistle blew. Rookie la Star.

Ralph Welch rose to heights of gridiron fame when, In his first college game, he substituted for Cotton Wilcox of Purdue. Slashing through the Harvard line, tearing around the Crimson ends, handling brilliant passes and kicking perfect punts, Welch proved the individual star of the day. He scored two of the westerners' touchdowns. It was Welch who stopped a desperate Harvard rally In the final period by Intercepting a pass on his own 20-yard line. He raced the ball back almost through the whole Harvard team and brought It to the 42-yard line.

From there, Purdue drove down to the three-yard line where the game ended. Crosby, Harvard's veteran fullback, stood out ss the Crimson's star and accounted for most of Harvard's yardage.

The arbiters each received 12,600 and expenses for their four days work.

Ruth's home run was one of the longest ever made In a world'a series. While the right field bleachers, where it landed, are near the plate, the ball soared far back Into them. Wiley Moore, the winning pitcher today, was an obscure moundsman with Oreenvllle, K. C. in the South Atlantic league last year.

His share of the winners' end of the spoils will be close to 16,000. Waner's Jumper to Koenlg opened the fourth scuttle. Mr. Rup-pert's help sort of thought Lloyd waa extremely out, but the official "guesser" said the Charlie Paddock burst at the tape entitled the younger Waner to a base blow.

EXPECTS TO BE TRADED Pirate Star Says Row Is My-' tery to Him Holds No Grudge Against Pilot. New York, Oct. t.

(A. The man who should know most about the "Cuyler case," discussion of which weighted all conversation and writing on the world series, knows less about it than anyone else, he thinks. The man is Hazen S. Cuyler, star outfielder of the Pittsburgh Pirates, who warmed the bench during much of the season and the whole of the world series, despite the strident yells of Pittsburgh and New York spectators, demanding that the man who won the 1925 world series games be given a chance to show his stuff. Tonight Cuyler, for the first time, gave his version of the ease, and expressed belief that he hud played his -last game as a Pirate.

It's Mystery to Him. "To tell the downright and whole truth," Cuyler said, "the whole thing la a mystery to me. There are some things to be told, without doubt, but it is not 1 who can tell them. In my own heart 1 have felt some things, and they may or may not be true, but as for what might be called the facts of the case, they will have to come from my employers. "However, I have decided to tell what I know and some of what I feel, and I do it solelv because Barney Dreyfuss.

Tribute to Coaches. Every seat In the stadium was occupied and spectators Jammed Into every point of vantage while the two teams clashed for the first time. The gathering was a fitting tribute to the coaching ability of both Dorala and Rockne, first exponents of the forward pass, and former team mates at the South Bend school.

And the 2S.0O0 spectators who viewed the contest witnessed a game that never inggea in action nd abounded in thrills until tha final whiatle. In the end It was tha smartest team that won and tha Victory was Justly deserved. From the outset it was apparent that the Titans could not match the sDsed of their rivals who employed deceptive aerial attack to gain when within striking distance or tne gosi line. Two times during the course of combat. It was a pass to Flanagan that netted touchdowns and tha same attack paved the way for tha third, Flanagan's Play Factor.

It was Flanagan who proved tha hub of the Notre ljatne and the trust placed In him was fulfilled with several of the most spectac tilar plays of the game. It was Flanagan throwing passes, recelvt lng them, end, to relieve the monotony at times, darting off tackia for long His was the best brand of all around ability everseea st Dinan field and Notre Dame owea it victory to his ability of plckinj, the logical moments for his moves. Like a prancing deer on a golden autumn afternoon, he was all over the field, and during his stay in tha game always threatened to breast for the same kind of a run that first brought him attention last year against the Army. After the reserve teams of each school failed to score in the opening period. Christy Flanagan made hia debut with a run of 28 yards on the first play of the second period.

It was this sprint that paved the way for the first score and startel th Titans on the road to defeat, ftahman followed up this sprint with another of 10 yards and Kl'in-agan advanced to the 3-yard line. Here It appeared as thoug-h 'he breaks were against him. He hurled a short pass to Uliey over the line, but the move was discounted by a penalty for holding. Passes Everywhere. This didn't disturb th Irish, who Just added that much more force and deceptlveness to their attack.

The pass pity was alternated, and, catching the Titans unaware, Flanagan took a pass to the 2-yard line and the same play netted a touchdown. The passing of thia pair was uncsnny and provided tha spectators with a sample of what was to follow. Not content with the damaga already done, this pair, augment! by the line plunging of Wynne, wera on the threshold of the Titan aoal line shortly after the third period opened. It was a pass to Flanagan, then to Riley, followed by an oft tackle thrust, that set the stage for the second score. In thai march th Irish unleashed a lateral pass thut never missid ita mark and the Titans were dizzy watching the hall's progress.

The play was well covered and the Detroit hack seldom found the richt man. it was when Flanagan took a backwsrd tosa from Rilev and was brought to earth only when he had moved to within seven) yards of the goal. Wynne mad Continued aw Page 2. Football Results I.V DETROIT. Notre Dame 90, V.

Laszert, rather than spoil Hill's record, breezed to space out the strikeout quota. Meadows and Hill hardly get a break from the "umps."

He out-footed Moore a tosa, made from a CoaHauedl Pag tory was in 1915.

A defense, plus Michi gan's inaccurate forward passing, enabled State -to limit the Wol verines' scoring activities. In 1926 Michigan won 55 to 3) State had a far better team today and Michi gan, was less potent. Two of Michigan's touchdowns came when State backs deflected passes into the receivers' hands. The other was made in four running plays that brought a total of 61 yards. Offensively, State reached Michigan's SO-yard line in the third quarter, on Its one bid for a touchdown.

The Spartans had four first downs to Michigan's 13 and only one of the four came from rushing. Running Playa Score. Michigan crossed the tally line once In each of the first, second and fourth quarters, the last score arriving In the last minute of play. Another time in the third quarter, Michigan reached State's five-yard line, but on the fourth down Green-wald'a throw grounded near the goal poRta and went for a touch-back. On three other occasions during the game, receivers either muffed or saw the ball go out of their reach.

During the first half, Michigan resorted largely to trying out the State defense and keeping Its air methods secret. Running plays brought the first score before the Initial quarter was fairly launched. Michigan forced State to punt after Gilbert's klckoff and Sam Babcock, with a fine burst of footwork, ran the kick back 26 yards from his 13-yard line. On the first play, Pabcock skirted left end for 34 yards and wag almost away, but Captain Paul Smith of State brought him down. Louis Gilbert swung around Hornbeck for 23 yarda and the ball was on State's four-yard line.

Babcock lost 8 at left tackle and then Gilbert hit the same spot for seven yards and a touchdown. He kicked over another point. Gilbert Out of Game. Before the quarter finished, Louis Gilbert was Injured and taken out. Following his Captain Ooalerbaan, who played end, forward passed and ran with the ball from position.

Intercepted one of Smith's passes and raced to State's 32-yard line. It took three State tacklers to bring him down. Line bucks advanced the ball three yards nearer as the period ended on State's 29-yard line. Greenwald threw one HofTman's way as the second period opened that grounded. Greenwald tossed again, this time to Boden.

Two State backs went Into the air after the ball and one batted It down Into Boden's arms. Boden was not too whocked to run. He was stopped at State's four-yard mark. A penalty placed State on its one-yard line. From there Rich drove through left guard for the second score and Gelstert.

Gilbert's substitute, kicked goal. Undismayed by the prank of fortune. State hung- on and managed to get through the remainder of the period unscatched. A throw from Oosterbasn that went 47 yards found no accepter and grounded for a touchdown. State Threatens Jim McCosh and Paul Smith, on the State side, and George Rich, working for Michigan, punted and punted throughout most of the third period, when State mad Its beat showing.

Ita aingle challenge for a touchdown came 1b the form Kwrrie abort buek, a 11 -yard It was in the ninth inning that the drama, which ever will be recalled, was crowded to the breaking point. The score stood at 3 to 3, and for the first time in the scries the Pirates, fighting courageously with their backs to the wall, had overcome the damage of a home run by Ruth with Combs on the bases. Mil Ju Fatter la Ninth As relief for Carmen Hill, starting Oie neventh, MUJus had been a marvel of efficiency. His mates tied the scorn for him when the Yankees, slipping and apparently worried by the fight they didn't (ntlctpate, wobbled In the field In the Seventh Inning to let through the (tap the tying runs. Miljus appeared to be atrong wfti-n the ninth opened and tha T.mkcea equaled away to put together the ingredlenta for the win-' ninir run.

Traynor came In with all the speed his legs are capable of, and in his hurry, overran the ball. To were on the bases then and the first man yet to be retired. Miljus put everything he could on the hall, pitching to Ruth and it hit the ground In front of the plate to esrape from the catcher.

Meusel etruck out seven times, failed to get the ball out of the Infield on seven other occasions, made two scratch singles and one clean hit in 17 times at bat. Pennock tied the record of Jack Coomba with five victories and no defeats in world's series competition.

Coombs scored four with the Athletics and one with Brooklyn. None of the Pirates reached the heights at any time. The Waners, who were expected to star, were Just ball players.
