OL
 Chicago, Oct. 1o LT-WlDh most of the prt-a~rics dope scrambled be- |. vond repair tll. Cuhs and Athletics today moved from Chicago tO Phil aGelrhia to resume play tomorrow in the world series. The enthusiasm of the American lea.urrs as they returned to their home and fre=de knew no bounds for they had done all that they coIId at Chicago, win . ming the only two games played The CEhs on th" other hand We're grim but determined hall club as they left home, not to return un less they cau lake two of the three . games Erdulcd at Shbc park.
 Optimism, however, was rampant ! among the National league repre- !. sentatives even after the second {. straight defeat in contest in which the Chicagos never were in the game. A crowd of 49.3S7 had few chances to cheer. Even the groundkeepors have . tangible proof of their faith in the .A ing from Wr&loy field with a g to rebuE on the Cubs in their bag Workmen took their places oil tn" diamond and with meticulous care placed the playing surface in apple pie order for a baseball game that will not be played this season unless their beloved Cubs can execute a strong comeback.
 Root May Be Picked The Cubs were forced to use four pitchers in the second game and l every baseball indicator pointed to the renomination of Charlie Root as as the Cubs finger to open the play in Philadelphia. Root, who stopped eight-ninths of the Athletics in the first game but threw home run ball to Jimmy FoXX. will have had three days rest when the game time arrives tomorrow.
 Quinn iS Favored Old Jack Quinn, the veteran of veterans, probably will get the call from Connie Mack although the tall tactician, o5 silent as he is tall, can summon any one Cf half a dozen pitchers to the mound. The ancient John Picus was all warmed up yes terday i1 spite Of some of the cold est weather on record. He can throw almost as slow as Ehmke, and he has a splitter" too.
 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 a lineup of seven regulars bat ting from the right side of the plate to slaughter left hand pitching. The National league champions won no games at home to start the series and scored no runs against Lefty Bob Grove, as lcft-handed as any pitcher in inc game, in the 1-3 innings he pitched when he went to the relief of Earnahaw. The big right handler was shellcd from the hill in the only decisive offensive gesture the Cubs were able to make in two days.
 NtFiIle-Out Record
 Among the bitter reflections the Cubs took with them on their ride from wc.t to east, WAS strii,e-out record of some kind Ehmkc forced 1G Cubs to miss third strikes Tuesday and Wednesday,, B more famed, although this lii of dcstrIc- tive pitching vas divided between Earnshaw and Grove. Earnshaw struck out scyrn in four and two thirds innings and Grove baggcd six victims in one-third of an inning less,
 The chorc of naming world series hero is rot yet in order but when the final reckoning is made, Jimmy FoyN probably will be con sidered. Tn" Maryland boy, for the second time iu two days, sent tn" As out in front with home run the second besHS more productive than the first in that t"o of his mates rode home with him, Al Sim mons ran the total of Philadelphia home runs for the scrte5 t1 three with a circuit smash good for two runs Tho hou" ran onslaught was enough to win tho gauo.
 Percc tTa1 Malone, strikoout king Of the National l,aruv. started as though ho nigh' .rras the EhuI- ke record established less than 24 hours before.

 Earnshaw, like Malone had a world of stuff but lacked control He had 10 use all his skin 10 pitch himself out of hole of hs oHn making in the third when hr 0l'ad the bases with p9sscs.
