of humanity to the green and vel low square where a world title was at stake.
 Early in the game when it ap- peared that the Cubs would push across the winning runs. great deal of "bleacher management" was forthcoming each time the Cubs went to bat but as it got chillier for the spectators and grayer for the Cubs prospects, the chatter of ad- vice to Joe Mccarthy and William Nrigley ceased and the cheering came for Ehmke, Jimmy Foxx. his teammate who made the only home run, and the valiant but futile ef- forts of the Cubs to fathom the ap- parently simple pitching that Elm Ike was offering with few takers.
 All that, however. was past his tory for those who let their work go today to indulge in their favor ite pastime. The morning sun from out of Lake Michigan brought a new day and new hopes that the Cubs would bat out one victory ani not keep the city on edge until next Wednesday when both teams come here again-if the Athletics don't get into the American lcaeIy habit of the last two years of Win ming four straight.

CHICAGO HACKERS
 DEMAND REVENGE
Plead for Cubs Murderers' Row
 to Open Up in Today's Game

Chicago. Oct. UP)-Chicago fandom moved out to Wrgley field again today with blood in it's eye, demanding as retribution that its idols, the Chicago Cubs. unlmbcr their "murderer's TOW" bats and de- feat the Philadelphia Athletics m the second world series game of 1929.
 The 3 to l defeat at the hands Of Howard Ehmke and Connie Macks strategy yesterday ranked with the followers of the national game for they had come to believe their north side club vas invincible.
 Today they swore vengeance. took extra supplies Of throat lozengcs to the park early and prepared to cheer their favorites to victory. On all lips was the hope and prayer that Rogers Hornsby, Hack Wilson and Kiki Cuyler would get back their batting eyes and pound out a victory, preferably with home runs, before the teams leave tonight for three games in Philadelphia.
 There was little doubt that an other crowd of 5o,74o cash custom CTS would enter into the huge green stands before the umplres growl out play ball" at 1:30 ?. III. Another line of bleacherites was on hand early last night, waiting 10 get into the 10000 $l seats that were thrown open early on grab-bas basis.
 Long rated over the nation as rabid and even pugnacious in their support of the Cubs, Chicago fars so far have shown nothing but the greatest respect and appreciation Of the American league champions baseball ability. Cheering always for their Cub heroes, the partisaus of the National leaguers also dealt out large measures of praise today for Ehnke and his teammates.
 When the lanky, -Joiuted Ehmke moved down the best hit ters in the Cub lineup and set n new series record Of 13 for strike outs, at first the 50,0O0 were mute with astoniShncnt. Then as it dawned upon them that their "mur- derer's row. had met it's match. for the day at least, they screamed ap- proval at Ehmhe as he shuffled to the dugout and to the plate. When Hornsby and Wilson famed, admira- ton mingled with disappointment in the noise that floated from the ring

 Mack heard that, turned his head slightly and said, I'm starting Ehmke. he'll win"
 Today Howard was emphatic in statements that a slow curve will be effective against the Cubs.
 That pitch will trouble them. '" he said. Tt will have to be con- troIlcd and kept out Of their alleys thought 1 knew how to beat them and l did. I'm certainly elated to be q world series winning pitcher. Do l want 10 start again? Don't be foolish. I hope you won't think it egotistical when l say can trounte them again."
 The Ehmkc nature came to the front at this point.
 There's one thing I want to point out" he said. "A man who pitches as Charley Root did yester- day doesn't deser,e to lose. He was just as effective as was. We got the breaks and the breaks win ball games.'

EHNKE TELLS HOW
 HE TURNED TRICK
Used TantaIiZin6 Slow Ball and
 Had Plenty Of Control

Chicago. Oct. 9 UP)-Interrupt- Howard Ehmhe, q tanned angular man, old in a baseball way but young chronological today inject cd his opinion into the hysteria sur rounding the 1929 world series by giving the Ehmke version as to how the Cubs can be beat.'
 And that opinion is the product of the experience which Howard gained yesterday when he. a sec ond-string pitcher for the Philadel- phia Athletics, literally stood the Cubs on their ears and downcd them 3-1 in the first game of the annual classic.
 Ehmke made no secret of the fact that he believes a tantalzing slow one" combined with the ability to put 'cm where they don't want en-" will beat the Cubs.
 Backing his opinion was the fact that, exerting marvellous control and great slow curve. he set down those Cubs yesterday and set them down so we'll that there was no doubt but that he was a better pitcher than they were hitters.
 If you've never experienced the thrill of getting into series, you cant imagine what 1t is likc,' he said. I've been battling aroun1 for some 15 years of pitching now and I don't hesitate to say that my greatest thrill came yesterday. Boy, every time one of the Cubs went down swinging, my confidence went up a million miles" (Ehmke had room for plenty of confidence for he struck out 13 batters to estab- fish q new series reCord.)
 Howard certainly pitched to the weaknesses of the Cubs yesterday. His work against Hack Wilson is a fine example. Hack likes a high fast one on the outside. Yesterday he got low slow ones on the inside. and he went down twice on strikes when hit would have meant runs to his team.
 Why Mack selected Ehm!ce in- stead of one of his stars. WalberE Grove or Earnshaw, was still a problem.
 However, from Comics actions before the game one would judge that even Mack did not know whom he was going to start until a few minutes before game. For half an hour Mack paced the floor of the dug out. He looked several times at Nose Grove. He also looked ab- sent -mindedly at the bat boy who was expressing an opinion that George Earnshaw would start.
 Finally. he walked over to Ehm- ke. How do you feel. Howard 2" he asked. Great" came the an swer. Well. get out there and warm up," Mack fired back anl then he walked back into the dug out, sat down and watched Ehmka throw a few balls. A few minutes later, Howard yelled at Mickey

COMP ARES
 EHMKE AND OTHERS
Never Saw a Performance in Series Like That Of Yesterday
BY CN YOUNG (Only major league pitcher to win
 

0uD g2neS)
 Chicago, Oct. UP)-Searchin back in my stock of memories of 22 years in major league baseball. 1 can't recall any second string pitch T who ever pitched world series opener and delivered as Howard Ehmke did yesterday for Philadel- phia and Connie Mack.
 Neither do I recollect in all the time from the sos down to now that l have seen a pitcher who works like the lanky hurler. Connie Mack, whose tricks I have come to know through long friendship. again show ed the baseball word the value of his unexpected moves.
 In attempting to figur" out from my own experience how Ehmke tan taliZed victory out Of the Cubs, three pitchers of the old days come to my mind as comparisons but none of them fills the bill in all respects. Ehmke's perfect control in putting the ball where he wanted to at the time he wanted it there, reminded me of Frank DWyer who played with the Cincinnati club in the 90's. He was Ehmke's equal in control but lacked some of his other qualities.
 George Cuppy. who played on the old Cleveland teams from '91 to '9S when 1 was pitching there, hurled his games a great deal like Ehmkc, slowly, tantalizingly and with Il lot of cool headedncss. Cuppy, however. wasn't the pitcher Ehmke is by a great sight. Neither did he nave Ehnlke's three arm motions, over hand, side arm and rnderhand.
 Another who measures up in some respects to Ehmke's was Cy Falken- berg of the Cleveland club in the carly l900's. He was smart like Ehmke and had the change of pace that enabled the Philadelphian to win but lacked the perfect control
 l don't think I ever saw better pitching in q world series than Ehmke showed. It was his day and he made the most of it. The way he set the Cub 'murderers row" down was a big surprise to me after what I had heard and read about Horns by, Wilson and Cuyler as fence bust CTS.
 Charley Root, who went seven in nings for the Cubs, was more a vic tim of circumstances than of bad pitching. He was going along fine until FoxX got that home run, which might happen to any pitcher. Then the Cub management, apparently banking on getting two runs, put in a pinch hitter and that let Root out.
 Except for the two bobbles of English, Guy Bush might have pull ed the game out of the fire. He pitched good ball for the three in nings.
 Ehmke's long windups, slow mo- lions and change of pace turned the trick for him, think. He had the Cubs where he wanted them and played with them at will He pulled himself out of three bad holes by flaming the best batters in the Cub lineup when a hit would have meant runs and possibility of losing the game.
 From the press box it looked like Ehmke didn't have anything at all on the ball but the fact that he fan ned 3 men for new world series record shows that he had plenty.
