Yankees Win Series

BROOKLYN, Oct. 10--Slender Johnny Kucks beat Brooklyn with a three-hit shutout to win the World Series for the New York Yankees in the seventh game today with the backing of four home runs, including two by Yogi Berra and a grand slammer by Bill Skowron.

After losing six straight at Ebbets Field, the Yanks again crushed Don New-combe in a "big game" to end the Dodgers' one-year reign. This time the score was 9-0. It was the Yank's 17th championship in 22 attempts and their sixth over Brooklyn in seven series.

Kucks, a 23-year-old righthander from Jersey City, with low breaking stuff, had the Brooks rolling out or popping to the infield all through the sunny but chilly afternoon.

Climaxing this fine comeback after losing the first two games in Brooklyn, the Yankees ended a two-year span of National League supremacy and restored the American's edge to 34-19. Only one other club, the Dodgers of 1955, ever fought back to win a seven-game series after dropping the first two.
