GET THIRD.
AND LAST
CHANCE

with admirable sang froid. That
Shibe Park was to be sold out to
its capacity of 80, 500 was ordained.
That the usual zealots waited
throughout the night TO be the first
into the unreserved sections at 10
o'clock this morning was another
development not without custom
These were manifestations inevitably
associated with world series baseball.
Count Series As Won
But the customary hysteria of
town gone baseball crazy seemed to
re missing. Philadelphia APPARENT?
had assumed that the worlds Gham'
pionship was as good as won and
enc could hardly say that the good
Durghers were utterly mistaken.
They won't be that. in fact, urill
the Cubs win four of the remaining
five games and even then the good
burghers won't be exactly mistaken.
They will be dumbfQunded.
The betting odds had four dollars
ready to deny this possibility against
any single dollar that though there
was a chance. But eyene Diagenes
with a searchlight couldn't have
found this honest but ill-advised dol
lar on the streets of Philadelphia
today. AS a betting proposition. the
series had gone blotto.
The weather for the third game
however, was scheduled TO be all
that the doctor ordered. This morn
ing dawned clear but cold. indicating
that Connie Mack, with fortune in
pitching strength, would deputize
old John Quinn to go out there ana
bSffle one and all. John was under
stood to be very good battler any
time the weather was chilly.
Mccarthy to Pitch Bush
Guy Bush, according to Joe Nc
earthly. will be the Chicago pitcher.
this causing much CONSERVATION
among those who are willing 10
save baseball from itself any time
Of the day or night. Anyhow, 1t
was the sense OF those assembled IN
the hotel Hobbies this morning that
Mccarthy ought to come back with
Charley Root for this all-critical
game.
Root to date was the only Cub
pitcher who looked like winner
and the fact was that this series
had got so far out of hand that
/ anybody who looked the part was
acceptable. Root pitched shut
out for six innings of the first
game but the inspired Ehmke
pitched a shutout until the ninth
and this performance was so much
superior that Root wasn't even in
| there by that time.
He had been replaced by Bush
| today's nominated pitcher. and the
| latter was hit just enough to lose
the ball game after English had
| filled the bases with a couple OF
errors.
Anyhow, Mr.. Mccarthy thought
Bush was the man to pitch the third
| game and, since it was Mr.. Nc
McCarthy's ball club and his series
to play, and probably to lose, per
haps it might be just as well to 1el
| him play it and lose it in his owr
| way.
The Cubs, as a matter OF fact
didn't talk a losing series last nigh
as they stayed close to their hote
and avoided the series crowds a!
much as possible. They were &
train-tired team. when they got il
yesterday afternoon from Chicago
and every intelligently avoided {
workout at the ball park. Instead
they intended to get out there around
II O'Clock this morning in order t
see what it was all about.
Spectators May Be Stuck
BY that time, it was expected tina
the general admission selections
would be closed out, but whether al
the reserved seats were to be filled
at game time was a matter yet Il
be established. The SEibes sold these
to the last ticket weeks ago, but no
all of them ultimately reached theil
intended recipients.
Spectators worked openly in the
downtown section last night bu
seemed to be getting nowhere will
their quoted price of SIS for three
game ticket. Therefore, it was pos
Sible that the grandstand might no
play to absolute capacity, SPECTATOR!
being noted for the fact that the!
see very few bali games on theil
own tickets.
The price. at that. might have
been all right to Philadelphia. a:
such prices go. The two. however
