KANSAS CITY TAKES
MINOR SERIES TITLE

BY the Associated Press
ROCHESTER, N. Y, October IA
The star of the American Association
still remains on the ascendant where
the annual battles for the class AA
championship of base ball are con-
cerned. For the third successive year
the champion of the Western entry in
the little world series has captured the
title from the International League
champion to give the association six
victories in the 10 years the series has
been played.
Rochester, champion for the second
year of the International circuit, put
game and the series yesterday, to 5,
in IL innings. The victory gave Kansas
City the minor league title by five
games to four.
A year ago indianapolis defeated
Rochester, to l, in the post-season
series. Toledo defeated Buffalo by the
same margin in 1927.
In yesterdays game Riconda, Kansas
City third baSeman, accused Carleton,
Rochester pitcher, of busting off"
batsmen and fist fight resulted. A
near-riot at the end came as a result
of Toporcer's protest of a called strike
in the ninth. He was ordered from the
game and Rochester fans offered vio-
lent protests.
The receipts for the nine games
totaled $13O,308, of which $35,65l goes
to the Kansas City players and S23,567
to Rochester players. The two leagues
will divide $12,660 and the club man
agement will split $54,528.

CUYLER IS HOPEFUL
STILL OF VICTORY
Points to Cubs Offensive
Strength to Turn Tide
of Series Battle.
BY HAZEN ("KIKPD CUYLER,
Chicago Cubs Outflelder.

~ PHILADELPHIA, october IA
- This world series isn't over yet.
Connie Mack's team has to win
Il another ball game before get
ting the worlds base ball
championship.
1 know it's easier to win one in a
row than three in a row. Our Cubs
have to win three straight to get the
title. It's a tough assignment, true
world series Of 1925 between Pittsburgh
and Washington. I was with the Pitts
burgh club at that time.
Washington won the first game.
Pittsburgh won the second, and then
Washington won the next two, gaining
a three -to-one lead on us. But in that
crisis the Pittsburgh club went out and
won three games IN row to gain the
worlds championship.
So it has been done before, and 1t can
be done again.
1 have been told about a series once
between the Cubs and the White Sox
for the city championship. The Cubs
won the first three games and the
White SoX rallied and won the next
four. There was case of winning four
in a row.
Better on Defense.
One good reason VIII it might be done
on this occasion is that we are not out
classed. There is good reason to be-
lieve that the Cubs have greater often
sive strength than the Mackmen. That
may sound odd after what happened
Saturday, when they made 10 hits and
drove in 10 runs in the seventh inning.
But we know that never in history has
a team had so many lucky breaks piled
up in one inning as the Macks had in
that seventh inning.
They never should have scored more
than three runs. A half dozen good
breaks had to come to them all at once
in order to get any more than three
runs, and they got half dozen of them.
1t was actually uncanny. Such thing
couldn't happen again in so years.
When a team wins one like that I
can't see where it deserves any great
credit. We went out and earned eight
runs by superior playing. They got 10
runs by about four freak hits and with
the help of the sun shining in the out
fielders eyes.
So, believing we are stronger and can
beat the Athletics, we are going into
this fifth game still hopeful. If
strength alone decides things. from now
on, and luck and the sun will keep out
of it. there is reason to believe we can
win three straight.

cial figures for world series attendance

CLOUT|NG OF CUBS
IS MAINLY TO RIGHT
Only 10 of Bruins IS Hits
Have Gone Into Left,
Figures Show.
BY WALTER TRUMBULL.

PHILADELPHIA, October 14.-"Chi-
cago has the greatest. bunch of right
field hitters I ever saw" said Wilbert
Robinson on his way to the world Sc
ries. These Cubs hit to right until
they drive you crazy"
1t looks as if Robby knew his stuff.
Out of the 35 hits made by the Cubs
only 10 have been to left field, and
Grimm, a natural left-field hitter, has
made of the TO- Mireover, most of
the long fouls that the Cubs have been
hitting have gone into the right-field
stands.
Quinn suits the Chicago style of bat
ting. because his splitter breaks out
Not one of the seven hits Chicago made
off Quinn was to left field. The Phila-
delphia pitchers have been taking adj
vantage of the liking of the Cubs for
outside balls. Several times Hornsby
has famed on curve balls which broke
over the outside corner, and his team
mates have been fooled by similar
pitches.
Long Hits Play Part.
Long hits have played their part in
the games to date. The Mackmen have
made AZ hits to 35e for Chicago, but
they also have hit for a total of so
bases to as total bases for the Cubs.
Five home runs to one have helped to
tell the story.
Hornsby and CuyIer have been the
strikeout champions, tanning seven
times each, while Cochrane has drawn
the most bases on balls-six. The 500
hitters are Wilson. Cochrane and Dykes
and the 400 hitters are FoXx and
Grimm. Grove has struck out 10 Of
the % men who have faced him.
The Athletics certainly got the breaks
in Saturdays game. When they gave
a team which had won the National
League flag an eight-run lead. with
only 21a innings left to go, they had
to get the breaks to finish in front.
Winner Gets Breaks.
It looked as if they needed the breaks
and a couple of miracles. That is all
right Breaks always help to decide a
base ball championship. In the course
of a season, or two seasons, breaks even
up, but in a short series the winner
gets them.
Mr. Wrigley, naturally, is bit an
noyed over the result of the Athletics
Cub tilt of Saturday and probably would
like the commission to sanction the an
choring of Zeppelin between the sun
and his center fielder, but he probably
is no more upset over the week end re-
suits than some Of the foot ball coaches.

n PHILADELPHIA, October IA
l. When the world series started I
had some sort of bunch that
i the Athletics would win the title
in five games. That happened
in 1910, when the. AS and Cubs met
then.
I don't know why felt that way. I
had no real idea that one of our
pitchers would go down. And If had
been guessing would not have picked
Earnshaw to be the loser in a duel with
Bush.
But something seemed to tell me that
the law of averages would lose us one
ball game, and only one. Therefore, I
am going into the fifth game of the
series this afternoon confident that
when it is ended we will be the base
ball champions of the world.
The fellows on my club spent a very
pleasant Sunday, our day of rest, think
ing over the many incidents Of that Lig
seventh inning Saturday. All the thrills
that came to me while we were making
those 10 runs were experienced over
and over as my thoughts Travelled back
to the game.
"All Over for Cubs"
I know that it made me feel our club
had it all over the Cubs. think, we
will start right off hitting this afternoon
where we left off Saturday.
1t will make no difference which one
of his pitchers Mccarthy sends against
us. We dubbed all his stars except
Bush Saturday. And If Bush is the
man today we'll hit him. For we are in
our stride.
My confidence is as solid as steel now
I had not expressed it before, but ]
feel that 1t may not now be classed
as verconfidencc-not after what hap
pened yesterday.
The Cubs probably did not put in

III Simmons Had PRESERVES
Hulcb A's Would Win in 5 Tits

such a comfortable Sunday as we did
I judge they must have done quite lot
of worrying about the happenings in
that fourth game.
Consequently they will not have the
same mental attitude they would have
enjoyed had they held that 30 lead
and evened the series by winning the
game Saturday. I have been in the
same kind of boat in which the National
LeaguerS were sitting all this day, and
l know how 1t feels.
I don't want to boast, but I do think
that by winning three games of the
four played in such decisive manner we
have proved to the world that our club
is the best in the majors this year. We
have both the punch and the pitching.
Earnshaw May Twill.
I have no idea who will pitch today's
game / guess it will be either Earn
shaw or Grove for our team. 1 imagine
that either Blake or Bush will start
for the Cubs. However, in a situation
such as exists now manager may
change his mind at the last minute.
Probably both managers will go to
the ball park to talk it over with sew
eral pitchers who may be in line to
step on the mound; It may happier,
that they will decide which one will
start after watching the warming up
of two or three.
And 1 also presume that, no matter
which pitcher starts, there will be much
activity in both bull pens right from
the first gun. Today's game is awfully
important to both teams. If We win,
the series is over; If the Cubs win, they
will figure they may come through in
the two games in Chicago.
I assure you that I am thinking Of
the money that hangs to the champion
ship. 1t means at least $500 more to
me If the AS win and end the series,
as figure we should.
Will I fight to get that extra cash?
Will fish swim?

through TO triumph.
That Chicago's cause is not abso-
iutely hopeless, though hanging by an
exceedingly slender thread, Washington
fans can well attest from the outcome
of the 1925 event, when the Nationals,
after losing but one of the first four
tits, dropped the next three in a row,
and with them the world title to the
Pittsburgh Pirates.
Red Sox Did II in 1903.
And barking back even farther-to
the nine-game series of 1903-the Bos-
ton Red Sox finished with four con-
secutive triumphs following defeat IN
three of the first four at the hands OF
the Buccaneers.

which Bush flashed last week when he
gained a 81 verdict over George Earn
shaw. although outbatted by a, g.
margin. would make possible return
to Chicago for resumption OF the set
on Wednesday, but What happened to
his teammate. Charley Root, on the
occasion of his second start made TINS
seem improbable.
1t will be recalled that Root, on his
initial appearance in the opener, yielded
only three hits before giving way 10
pinch hitter after seven rounds, al
though one of these was a homer by
Jimmy Foxx, which proved a vital
factor in the victory of the AS, yet on
the occasion of his second start Satur-
day was equally effective for six frames,
only to be thumped off the mound I'M
der a barrage of half dozen Safetles
in that record rally staged by the AS.
Earnshaw, already credited with one
victory, in the second game, although
he needed the help of Lefty Grove, and
nosed out by Bush in his second start
due solely to faulty support, would ap--
pear to have an even chance against
the latter should he face him this
afternoon.
Fans Hope to See Grove.
But If Howard Ehmke, the hero of the
opening combat, when he established a
world record of Is strikeouts, is removed
from consideration, as reported, because
of a sore arm, the finger the fans
hoped to see start today was Robert
Moses Grove. the lanky southpaW, whose
rescue work on two occasions ranks
among the high lights of the series.
Seeing service for the first time In
round i've of the second game. Grove
snuffed a rally that had Melted five
hits and three runs for the Cubs by
whiting Pinch Hitter Hartnett and
similarity victimizing five more OF the
Bruins over the remainder CT the route
while allowing only three scattered hits,
while on Saturday, summoned to pro-
tect the AS two-run lead he struck
