Yanks Win Fourth of Series

THE SPORTS — On Dodgers' Error

New York, Oct. 5.

Broadway Bombdrdiers of Joe McCarthy took the fourth game of the 1941 World Series from the Brooklyn Dodgers today by a 7 to 4 score im one of the weirdest matches in the history of baseball's annual classic.

The Dodgers apparently had the game won in the ninth inning, leading 4 to 3 with two out, when Catcher Mickey Owen dropped the ball on Tom Henrich's third strike.

Instead of ending the game as fans were leaving the ball park, Brool Larger Crowds at lost and the Yankees now lead the series, three games to one, and will take the championship if they win tomorrow.
