fans know it or not, but 1t was
exactly three years ago this
| afternoon that Grover Alex
ander came parading in from
| the bull-pen at the stadium to
fan Tony LazZeri and eventu-
ally win the game and the
series for the National League.
I'm an American Lacquer, and
naturally 1 am happy to see the
American League win. But I'm
not kidding myself. l know that
those straight games don't mean as
much American League superiority
as a lot Of the fans believe. I
know that in the eight games the
Yankees won we got some breaks.
And 1 know too that when two
pennant winners meet in the world
series there is not actually as much
difference in the class Of the teams
as those 10 straight would indicate
| to the fans.
So far as the present series is
concerned l think it's about over.
| The AS are away to running
start and they're hard to head.
| Furthermore every test that has
come, has served to give the AS
| duueu confluence.
1t was said that the Cubs would
murder left-hand pitching but Bob
Grove proved that was wrong. 1t
was said that the AS would be
! bothered by Pat Malone's speed, but
| they drove Malone out In less
than five innings
The Cubs couldn't be beaten on
their home grounds, the experts
said, but the AS beat them-not
once, but twice
Don't misunderstood me. I real
| ize the power that exists in that
Cub hitting order, and | know that
| the Chicago boys are not showing
| their real form. But that's part of
| the world series. Before the series
| wrote that a short series never
| gave a team that was in a slump
| a real chance to show. And that is
another feature of this series. The
CUBS are in slump-and the time
| is too short for them to shake out
of it.
Yesterdays day Of rest, of
course, meant more to the Cubs
than 1t did to the AS. 1t gives
them 24.hour rest in which to
get back their strength and
their confidence. And 1t takes
from the AS the keen edge of
their form.
Sometimes one off day, when a
| team is going good, will do more
harm than anything you can
imagine. Probably that won't be
the case with the AS, but it's Ger.
tain the rest won't help them as II
| does the Cubs.
The Washington times., 1929-10-11

the most optimistic conceded the AS
big edge, although the performers,
as always, were co..fident of a come
back.
There was hollow sound to
their optimism, however, and II
ever a band of athletes 1COked
the part of beaten men it Is
these same Bruins who were for
merly SO cOcky.
Frankly, the Athletics have out
played. out-fought and out-classed
their opponents in every sense of
the word and the general concensus
is that Saturday night will find the
1929 classic history
mo matter who Mack starts here
after the AS will win one promi-
nent National League head explained
today. THE Cubs have been one Of
the biggest disappointments in Ma
tional League history and on the
strength of their previous shoWings
they don't deserve one break"
Others maintain that Joe McCar-
thy, a pre-series miracle man, has
used miserable judgment in the
juggling of his pitchers and has
burnt out his first string men in
relief roles.
Root, Bush, Blake and Carlson,
his four big shots, were pressed into
using the first two games with the
cause practically lost. This was
particularly true Wednesday when
Blake and Carlson were inserted
with the AS virtually a cinch to
win.
On the other hand. the Bruin
batters have shown little to recon-
mend them as the tOuted siege
guns of old and with Rogers
HOrnsby and Hazen Cuyler. their
mainsprings. still in the dOldrums,
Chicago supporters can only hope
that they will flash a sudden re-
turn to form.
In many quarters it Is thought
that little Art Nehf, veteran port
slider and at one time the greatest
money pitcher in the game, could
tame the smuggling Athletics, but,
unless an unexpected turn of affairs
is brought about. he can hardly be
expected to get this chance.
And with it all it must be consid-
cred that the Elephants batting or
der is gradually swinging into full
power while the Rruin combination,
on the whole, is rapidly getting no
better.
Wonder if the fellow who suggest
ed that the Chicago gang should be
placed on diet of violin strings |
didn't know what he was talking
|, I,oIIt fFpr all1

Although other members of
the Mackian melange aided to a
considerable degree i'm coping
both games. it was Foxx's four
masters that really showed the
Athletics out in front at critical
stages.
