Of the pre-series dope scrambled be-
yond repair, the Cubs and Athletics
today moved from Chicago to Phil
adelphia to resume play tomorrow.
The enthusiasm Of the American
Leaguers as they returned to their
home and fireside knew no bounds !
for they had done all that they could
ut Chicago, winning the only two
games played. The Cubs on the 9TH
er hand were q grim but determined
ball club rs they left home, not to be
content unless they can take two Of
the three games schedules at Shibe
Park.
Optimism. however. was rampant
among the National League represent
tatives even after the second straight
defeat in q contest in which the Chi
Cages never were in the game. A
crowd Of 1887 had few chances to
cheer.
Even the groundkecpers gave tangi-
Bile proof Of their faith in the club.
After the AS had dashed laughing
from Wrigley field with a 9 to 3 e
buff Of the Cubs in their bag. work
men took their places on the diamond
for q baseball game that will not be
played this season unless their be-
loved Cubs can execute q strong
comeback.
Used Four Pitchers
The Cubs were forced to use four
pitchers in tho second game and every
baseball indicator pointed to the re-
nomination of Charlie Root a the
Cubs finger to open the play In
Philadelphia, Root, who stopped
eight-ninths Of the Athletics In the
first game but threw o home run ball
to Jimmy Foxx, will have had three
days rest when game time arrives to-
morrow.
Old Jack Quinn, the veteran Of
veterans. probably will get the call
from Connie Mack, although the tall
tactician. as silent As he Is tall. can
summon any ~ of half q dozen
pitchers to the mound.
The first two games Of the series
have been glorious triumphs for the
bubbling AS. but disastrous defeats
for the experts. Before play began
the close observers declared that the
Cubs would be almost unbeatable In
their own ball yard and would send
in q lineup of seven regulars batting
from the right side Of the plate to
slaughter lefthand pitching.
Shell Right Handler
The National League champions
won no games at home to start the
series and scored no uns against
Lefty Bob Grove. as lefthanded o. any
pitcher In the game. in the 1 Is Inn
ings he pitched when he went to the
relief Of Earnshaw. The big right
handler was shelled from the hill In
the only decisive offensive gesture the
Cubs were able to make In two days.
Among the bitter reflections the
Cubs took with them on their ride
from west to east was q strike out
record Of some kind. Ehmke forced
Is Cubs to miss third strikes Tues
day. and Wednesday, Is more famed,
although this bit Of destructive Pitch
ing wa divided between Earnshaw
and Grove.
The chore Of naming . worlds SER
les hero Is not yet In order but when
the final reckoning Is made. Jimmy
Foxx probably will Be considered. The
| Maryland boy, for the second time In
| two days, sent the AS out in front
with a home run. the second being
more productive than the first In that
two of.his mates rode home with him.
; Al Simmons ran the total Of philadel-
phia home runs for the series to three
with q circuit smash good for two
runs. The home run onslaught was
enough to win the game.
! Perez Pat Malone, Cub pitcher, yes
terday started Is though he might
break the Ehmke record established
less than - hours before. He sent
three visitors back to the bench ia
the first inning, caught another nap
ping In the second and added = fifth
In the third. He left the sce1e IN the
fourth when the llacks had run Their
string Of runs to six.
