It was the first game the Ma
tional League had won since 1926,
by the way. It looked as they
were due to add another the fol
lowing day, with Quinn driven
out Of there practically in the
first minute of play and Root
pitching fool-proof baseball for
six innings. Then disaster!
Simmons began the greatest of
al world series rallies with a
home ru1 into the left field
stands. The circumstances passed
almost tiYlnoticed. The Cubs were
away out in front. But before the
inning was over, Simmons, Foxx
and Dykes had made two hits
each, for one series record; the
Athletics had scored 10 runs, for
another record, ana the Cubs
were e. beaten ball club. The
climax of the uprising came when
Wilson lost Haas drive In the
sun, with two on, and the ball
got away for a home run, ty-
ing the score. Thus, luck was on
the side ~ the heavier artillery,
for WilSotl missed another fly IN
the sun during the inning and
Simmons second hit took q crazy
bound over McMillan'S head.
However, the Athletics were the
better bail club and they proved
ie the next and last time out, in
s manner equally amazing. This
time, Malone had them licked
going into the ninth. He had
pitched q Year.perfect game and
was within two piitoutS of vic
tory When Bishop doubled. Then
the pestiferous Haas hit one off
the right field wall to tie the
score and, before another man
could be retired, doubles by Sim
mons and Miller ended the game.

Down there he can bust any
kind Of record he wants. just so
long as he let's them get first
hand glimpse Of that marvellous
man who holds so many worlds
marks and who so completely
dominated track and field three
years ago.
1t is well that Paayo is duck
ing this country on his next tour.
for. there Is little doubt that If
he came back he would again
be subjected to the humiliation
OF occasionally losing q race.
Paavo has bowed to Father Time,
just as have other great athletes
before him, and although he
hates to admit it, the Peerless
Finn is not the runner he used
to be.
For q time it looked as though
he would overcome the stamp of
decline, in the form Of . bald
spot on the top Of his blonde
head, by maintaining his old
record breaking form.

he used to employ In cuttint
down old track marks and sprint
ing away from dangerous oppo
nents on the last lap Of thrlll

rnanently out Of the category o.
the famous Finn.
Not that Nurni is not an ex
ceptional athlete still. Most as
suredly he is.
But at the mile distance anc
at the two miles. where he Won
his most brilliant victories in this
country, he must play secont
fiddle if he starts against such
