the AS, yet, with q savagery that has
never before been duplicated in the
annals of the world SERIES they leaped
upon Root, drove him from the box,
knocked cut his two successors, Art
Nehf and Sheriff Blake In short order.
and were stopped by Pat Malone only
after Is men had gone to bat.
A home run by AL Simmons to the
left-field stands was the fire: bolt OF
lightning that hit Root. Another home
run in the midst of the storm of Nehf
by George Haas on an easy fly ball to
center that Hack Wilson lost in the
sun was the Semi-climax, running the
total of runs up to seven. A rousing
double to left by Jimmy Dykes on a
drive that Riggs Stephenson got his
hands on, but could not hanolss~Was
the grand climax, scoring Al Simmons
and Jimmy Fox with the ninth and
tenth runs that furnished the deciding
margin.
This astonishing counter barrage, this
avalanche of destructive hitting by the
champions of the American League sent
the hometown crowd Of 10000 into an
historical frenzy and eclipsed a run
scoring record that had stood Tor eight
wears. The former record Of eight hits
and eight runs for a single inning OF
world series play was made by the new
York Giants on october z, 1921, when
the seventh inning also was the nappy
moment and the Yankees the victims.
The final score being IL to 3.

team.
To make 1t a perfect ending for the
home forces. Robert Moses (Lefty)

series, came to the rescue with his oiaz-

ninth innings Grove not only helu

This made a total of eight Cub strike,

total of A for the series and equaileo
the record which the Giants mace IN
the series of 1911 against such famous
old pitching stars of the AS as CnleI

Must Win Three Straight.
The Cubs must take three straight TO
win the series. They need not give up
hone entirely. Even If their chances
now are exceedingly slim. The Pirates
turned the trick in 1925 after losing
three of the first four games to WASH
ington. The Boston Red Sox OF 1913
closed with four straight victories 10
win after losing three OF the nrst 1our
70 Pittsburgh.
The Cubs, as a matter of fact, thought
they had today's game won and they
had every reason to think so as tnsy
dashed gaily into the last half OF the
seventh with an 90 lead and Charley
Root pitched just as beautifully as ne
did for seven innings against the AS IN
the first game Of the series.
Il was a home run drive by Jimmy
Foxx in the seventh inning of the first
game that marked the first score on
Root and started the AS toward victory
Today 1t was another home run by the
other seeking twain, Aloysius Harry
Simmons. That opened the seventh ana
There was some wild enthusiasm for
this clout, which ratified OF the upper
roof of the left field stands. But the
big outburst didn't get going until Foxx,
Miller, Dykes and Boley had singled IN
rapid succession, scoring two more runs
and aroustng the hope that the AS, after
all. might do the unprecedented.
Old George Burns came to bat in
the pinch for Eddie Rommel, the third

there was a lull as he popped out to
Mcmillan. Max Bishop followed with
single that drove in Dykes with the
fourth run and drove the disconsolate
Root from the box, having yielded six
hits out of the seven men to face him.
Cubs Become Panicky.
The Cubs now were fast becoming
panicky and the crowd wildly hysteri-
cal. Little Art Nehf, veteran southpaw
and old Giant start of the world series
of 1924, came out of the bull pen
TO face George Haas. This was the
crucial point of the rally. II its mo-
mentum was not stopped quickly. it
would be too late. Nehf twirled care
! fully, and when Haas lifted a fly 10
center, there seemed nothing to cheer
about.
The squat, roly-poly Wilson came
| tearing in. 1t looked like an easy out:
but Hack, though he was wearing sun
| stumbled, and 1t caromed past him,
rolling to deep center, as Boley, Bishop
and Haas galloped around with the
fifth, sixth and seventh runs.
This, as 1t later turned out. was the
big break, making a goat out of Wilson,
/ whose hitting thus far had been one of
! the main factors in the Cub comeback
| 1t upset Nehf so much that he passed
Mickey Cochrar1t, the next man. and
right-hander, who also lasted just long
enough to pitch to two men. The two
! happened to be the clouting twins, SIM
mons and FoXX, up for the second time
! in the inning. Each singled, Simmons
! flashing into one that bounded sharply
over McN4illan's head and Foxx bang
ing a drive to center that scored Coch-
rane with the tying run.
, Malone Called to Rescue.
Big Pat Malone the fourth pitcher of
| the inning was hustled to the rescue,
but the Cub craft was fast going down
| by the bow. Pat was wild and hit Bing
Miller, the first man to face him, there
! by filling the bases with Mackmen. The
crowd was wilder but this time as
| hoarse as the experts In the press box
were groggy frem trying to keep track
of the proceedings.
Chunky Jimmy Dykes was up. swing
ing savagely. He caught a fast ball
and pasted it on line toward deep left
field Riggs Stephenson dashed madly
for it. barely got his fingers on the bali,
but was unable TO hold 1t. Simmons
and Foxx pranced across with the ninth
and tenth runs on this two-base wallop.
