ST. LOUIS, Oct. 15. Enos Slaughter ran from first base to home plate on a two-out hit in the eighth inning today, and the St. Louis Cardinals are champions of the world.

His run beat the Boston Red Sox, 4 to 3, in the seventh game of the World Series before 36,143 at Sportsman's Park.

The Cardinals led, 3 to 1, going into the eighth. Rip Russell, batting for Hal Wagner, singled, and George Metkovich, batting for Joe Dobson, doubled him to third. Manager Eddie Dyer took out Murry Dickson and sent in Harry Brecheen, who had pitched all nine innings on Sunday. Brecheen struck out Wally Moses and got Johnny Pesky on a liner to right, but Dom DiMaggio doubled off the right-field wall to score both runners and tie the game. DiMaggio hurt his leg running out the hit, and Leon Culberson went in to run for him and play center field.

Slaughter opened the Cardinal eighth with a single to center off Bob Klinger. Whitey Kurowski popped up a bunt and Del Rice flied to Ted Williams in left. With the count two balls and one strike on Harry Walker, Slaughter went with the pitch. Walker lined it into left-center for a double. Culberson fielded it and threw to Pesky in short left-center. Pesky held the ball a moment, and by the time he threw home, Slaughter was sliding across the plate.

"I hesitated," Pesky said afterward. "I thought he'd hold up at third so late in the game."

Boston put its first two men on in the ninth, Rudy York and Bobby Doerr on singles. Pinky Higgins forced Doerr, Roy Partee fouled out to first, and Tom McBride, batting for Earl Johnson, bounced to Red Schoendienst, who stopped the ball against his arm and flipped to Marty Marion for the force at second.

Brecheen won his third game of the Series, the first left-hander to do it. The Red Sox, who won 104 games in the American League race, scored 20 runs in the seven games. Williams, in his first World Series, had five singles in 25 times at bat.

PITTSBURGH, Oct. 15. The Pirates are champions of the world. Down three games to one, they came back to take the last three, and this afternoon at Forbes Field, under a drizzle that never let up, they beat the great Walter Johnson, 9 to 7, in the seventh and deciding game.

It did not look like Pittsburgh's day at the start. Washington scored four runs in the first inning, three walks and a pair of wild pitches doing most of the work, and Johnson fanned Cuyler and Barnhart in the home half. The Pirates got three back in the third, but the Senators answered with two more in the fourth on Joe Harris's double, and it stood 6 to 3.

From there the old master began to tire on a soggy mound. Carey and Cuyler doubled for a run in the fifth. In the seventh Carey doubled again and Pie Traynor drove a triple to deep right-center, and the score was tied at six.

Roger Peckinpaugh, the Washington shortstop, put his club ahead with a home run into left field in the eighth. It was a hard afternoon for him all the same. He made two errors today, eight for the Series, and the second of them, on a throw to second base with two out in the eighth, left the bases full for Kiki Cuyler.

Earl Smith and Carson Bigbee had already doubled to tie the game again. Cuyler fouled off four pitches, ran the count to two and two, and then lifted a long fly down the right field line that was ruled a double under the ground rules. Bigbee and Eddie Moore came home, and the Pirates led, 9 to 7.

Red Oldham pitched the ninth and struck out Sam Rice and Goose Goslin before a crowd of 42,856. Johnson went the whole way and was hit for fifteen safeties. Max Carey had four of them, three doubles and a single, and stole a base besides.

On this date in 1908, the Chicago National League club closed out the world's series at Detroit, defeating the Tigers by a score of two runs to none in the fifth game. Orval Overall, the big right-hander, held Jennings' men scoreless and took his second victory of the series, with "Wild Bill" Donovan charged with the defeat. Mordecai Brown had shut out the Tigers by three to nothing only the afternoon before. Thus the Cubs carried the championship four games to one for the second autumn running.

The followers of the West Side club could not have known it then, but it would be one hundred and eight years before the flag of world's champions flew over Chicago's North Side again.

Two winless teams. One of them had to leave with a win.
Episode 4 goes to week 4 of Uganda's Central League, where St. Peters Nsambya (SPENSA) and Ashinaga met at the bottom of the table, both still looking for their first win of the season.

Ashinaga is run by an offshoot of a Japanese non-profit: 79 players, 53 of them Ashinaga Uganda students, video sessions on Mondays and Tuesdays and on-field training the rest of the week. SPENSA began as a day school founded in 1907 and is now run by the Kampala Archdiocese, in a part of Kampala that is also home to Uganda's oldest football club. Both clubs came into the day winless. One of them also produced the best defensive play we have filmed all season: a diving tag at the plate that came within inches of a triple play.

Since this game, the regular season has finished — and the club you watch here ended up in the playoffs.
