Although both clubs had lost key players to military service, so had
other major league teams, and after a season shortened by a month because of
the war, the Red Sox and Cubs found themselves opponents in an early-September
World Series.
In the opener, Babe Ruth pushed his string of consecutive scoreless World
Series innings to 22, holding the Cubs to six singles as he went the distance.
The Cubs' Hippo Vaughn pitched just as well, but two of the five singles he
yielded followed a leadoff walk in the fourth and produced the game's only
run. Chicago evened the Series in Game Two, bunching four of their seven hits
after a walk in the second inning to take a 3-0 lead. Successive triples in
Boston's ninth spoiled Lefty Tyler's shutout but not his victory.
Hippo Vaughn lost another close one in Game Three when he gave up two
runs in the fourth inning on a hit batsman and a succession of singles. The
Cubs got him one run back in the fifth, but the Sox' Carl Mays held Chicago to
that one run as he hurled Boston back into the Series lead. Ruth pushed the
Sox farther ahead the next day in another squeaker. As he continued his
mastery over Cub hitters, he drove Boston into the lead with a two-run triple
in the fourth inning (his only Series hit). But in the eighth a run-scoring
ground out ended his record setting string of scoreless innings at 29 2/3, and
a single drove in another run to tie the game. The Sox, though, scored a
third run on a Chicago error in the last of the eighth, and reliever Bullet
Joe Bush shut down a threat in the ninth to save Ruth's win.
Vaughn, in his third start, finally found what was needed for victory--a
shutout, on five hits, as the Cubs added hits to walks from Boston's Sad Sam
Jones in the third and eighth to push across their three runs. But in Game
Six the Sox scored two unearned runs on a dropped line drive to right in the
third inning. It was their only scoring off Lefty Tyler, but Boston's Carl
Mays was on his way to a one-run three-hitter that brought the Red Sox their
fifth world championship in five tries. To date, although they have tried
four more times, they have not won a sixth.
