Who Won

> The pitch-potent Cincinnati Reds, National League pennant winners: baseball's 37th annual World Series; nosing out the slugging Detroit Tigers, American League champions, 2-to-1, in the seventh and last game; the National League's first victory since 1934, Cincinnati's first world championship since the scandalous Black Sox series of 1919; at Crosley Field, Cincinnati.

To each Red went $5,782; to each Tiger $3,519.

> The Newark Bears, winners of the International League playoffs: the 22nd annual Little World Series; for the third time; defeating the Louisville Colonels, winners of the American Association playoffs; four games to two; at Ruppert Stadium, Newark, N. J. Next spring, seven of Newark's biggest Bears, including Pitcher Steve Peek, who won 16 of his last 17 games, will try out with the New York Yankees, their parent club, which finished third in the American League this year.
