CINCINNATI--After 21 years, the Cincinnati Reds won their second World's Championship, by conquering the Detroit Tigers 2-1 in the dramatic, nerve-tingling seventh game, which saw Big Paul Derringer triumph over swashbuckling Bobo Newsom.

Jimmy Ripple crossed the plate with the winning run in a riotous seventh inning, which lifted the 26,769 fans in Crosley Field from the depths of despair to the heights of joy.

The Red's triumph, four games to three, gave the National League its first World's Championship since Frankie Frisch's Gas House Gang from St. Louis upset these same Tigers under almost identical circumstances in 1934.
