Chicago Fans
by
Short Series
Some Cub RooterS Find
Fault With Judgment OF
Joe Mccarthy.
BY BERT DEMBY
Tnited Press Stan Correspondent

CHICAGO, Oct. 15.-An attitude Of
surprise, intermingled with disap-
rointment, characterized Chicago
baseball fans today as they pom
dered the downfall of their Cubs.
There was distinct difference Of
opinion as to whom should be
blamed for the four games to one
world series defeat the Philadelphia
Athletics handed the Chicago team.
1t seemed unbelievable to these
Chicago fans that any baseball team
had the ability to trounce their ia
vorites as the Athletics did. They
were willing to admit the Phila-
delphia team rated to be ranked as
favorite, but they we're not willing
to admit the series should have
ended four games to one.
Mccarthy Criticised
They pointed out that the Ath-
letics got "alI the breaks" Backing
that opinion was the superb pitch
ing exhibition which Pat Malone
put up Monday only to lose in the
ninth inning after he had pitched
two-hit ball for eight innigs. Also
there was the sun which caused
Hack Wilson to allow fly balls to
drop safely.
There was one opinion which
seemed almost unanimous and that
was that Manager Mccarthy made
a mistake when he jerked Charlie
Root in the first game after the
pitcher had hurled three-hit ball for
seven innings. Many fans seemed
to think the first game would have
gone into extra innings with IL
tie score in the ninth if Root had
been left in.
Miller Hits Fast Ones
Too, there was some discussion
as to why the Cubs elected to pass
Foxx in the ninth Monday to get at
Bling Miller. True, FoXX is a great
hitter, but he hadn't touched Pat
fO- a safety during the day and
Miller is a glutton for fast ball
pitching. He already had garnered
one of the Athletics two hits, and
If there ever was a tough man to
face in a pinch it is Miller.
Curiously enough, there was little
to refute the opinion that
the better team won.

Then the fireworks were touched
of, and before the clamor of the
crowd was stilled and the rattle Of
base hits at an end, the Mackmen
had scored three runs, hammering
out a most sensational 3-to-2 vic
tory and winning the decisive game
and the championship Of the world
to boot.
Spell-Bound Delirium
Never before has a world series
finished with such touch of drama
The better ball club won, but in a
manner which had 10000 fans, in
Guiding President Herbert Hoover,
spell-bound in the thrOes Of de-
lirium.
The Cubs had gone out and piled
up a convincing two-run lead
through the first eight innings. Two
runs are not many as ball games go
these days, but with Pat Malone set
ting the Athletics back on their
heels inning after inning, it was dol
lars to doughnuts the National
League champions would win the
fifth game.
When Art French. who used to
carry footballs across the chalk
lines for West Point, struck out 10
start the last half of the ninth, the
fans started to leave Shibe Park.
When Max Bishop scratched a
single over third base, it looked like
one of those accidents which crop
up in the national pastime to mar a
practically perfect performance.
Pat Had Courage
And then Mule Haas caught ahold
of a fast one, and drove it on line
over the right field fence, tying the
score.
Pat Malone is a pitcher whose best
attribute is courage. His fast break
ing curve which had turned back the
AS inning after inning, was one
thing, but his heart was as big as
lions.
Let me go. I'll get en- he told
the anxious board of strategy which
gathered about him.
Malone forced Mickey Cochrane,
who bats third for Philadelphia, to
roll out to Rogers Hornsby, and it
seemed as though the worst had
happened and that the Athletics
had tied the score.
But then Al Simmons slapped a
two base hit up against the right
field score board. There was a
further consultation of the Cubs
board of strategy, and it was de-
cided to pass Jimmy FoXX and work
on Bing Miller.
It ended the world series. With
the count two and two, Miller, once
a Mack cast-off, hit to right center,
and Al Simmons came dancing and
prancing home with the winning
run.
'Rube" Deserves Praise
"Rube" Walberg, the southpaw
pitcher, who entered and finished
the fifth and final game after How
ard Ehmke had been batted to all
corners of Shibe Park, must not be
overlooked when credit for the win
ming of the championship is
allotted. Walberg came in under
trying circumstances and allowed
only two hits and no runs in five
and one-third innings.
Ehmke, who not only beat the
Cubs to in the opening game of
the series but struck out thirteen,
a new record for such engagements,
was not effective Monday,
Walberg stopped the Cubs and
this, in the final analysis, made it
possible for the Athletics to break
through in the ninth and win the
game and the championship.
