PRAISES HUSTL|NG
SHOWN BY MACkS
Bruin Pilot Promises to Take
Series Back to Chicago
for the Decision.
BY JOE MCCARTHY,
Manager CHICAGO Cubs.

~ PHILADELPHIA. Pa, october Ia
- When base ball club can over
come an eight-run lead and
i establish q two-Aln lead Of its
own in q single inning there
isn't much left to do but cheer the bat
ting attack.
And, yet, it seems to me that there
were a couple of circumstances in the
AS big seventh inning today that con-
tributcd as much to their success as
did any OF the hitting they produced.
On pop fly, that should have been
handled, and one long fly, that was not
especially hard. got away from Hack"
Wilson In center field when he lost both
flies in the sun.
Great Accumulation of Runs.
These two breaks had a great effect
on keeping the AS rally alive and they
delivered enough other sound batting
to make possible as great an accumu-
lation of runs as i have ever seen in
one inning
Up to the time that the trouble broke
out Charley Root was pitching well
enough. He had a working margin of
runs that seemed great enough to carry
us through. But 1t didn't, and there's
nothing else to say about 1t. The AS
showed plenty Of hustle once things
started going their way and they didn't
let up until Pat Malone got the range
out there on the mound.
Today. for the first time, the Cubs
began to look like themselves at the
plate. They tore after Quinn, almost
from the jump. and at no time did 1t
look like he was going to last the ball
game. Cuyler emerged from his hit
ting slump and Hornsby continued to
crack the bali around.
Grimm Delivered Greatly.
Grimm delivered greatly in the first
pinch of the ball game, and the rest
of the boys kept right after the pace he
set. With one game left here in Phila-
delphia and a days rest in between, I
am sure that Pat Malone can come
back and stop the Philadelphia hitters.
Ordinarily the Cubs put together
enough runs today to make certain the
winning of a ball game.
Those lost flies, and some solid hit
ting, squared all that and worse, how
ever. When your ball club cannot hold
an eight-run lead, on any game, then
there isn't q great deal to be said on
the subject. Wen be out there Mon
day battling for the next game and
take this series back to Chicago for q
decision, regardless Of the developments
here today.

- fourth game of the 1929 worlds
series was the most bitterly
Il fought and sensational game OF
base ball have ever witnessed.
1t was nothing less than q knock down
and drag out affair, but 1t was worth
a journey from South America to see.
This battle-and 1t was that-was
highly favored with both big league
and sand lot ingredients. Everyday
cold blooded fans became wild, woolly
and enthusiastic as school boys. The
vast crowd awakened from its lethargy
and seemed to feel the spirit Of this
game long before the tremendous Incl
dents began to unravel.
This great. unprecedented contest
started with the two calm and crafty
veterans Jack Quinn and Charley Root,
on the slab. For few innings 1t pro-
missed to be a pitchers battle, but 1t
finally developed into the biggest
parade Of pitchers yet recorded in a
world series.

Dakota farmers today had Senator
Gerald p. Nye's word that he expects

result from the special congressional
session, which will consider agricul-
tural relief.
Senator Nye holds to the belief that
the expected federal board will be
authorized to deal with cooperative
farm organizations and empowered
to assist in their organization.
He also anticipates, he said. that
the cooperatives will be supplied with
ample credit facilities and this credit
will be available to be used In H.

Off the market"
Nye maintains 1t was "tremend-
GUS mistake to pass the McNary-
Haugen bill knowing it would be killed
by Veto" although he has mot
changed his opinion - to the merits
Of the equalization fee.
1.-THE fine thing about the situa'
tion," he said, is the fact that w
