PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 14.-In the

for the baseball title there are no
games won credited to the name Of
Bob Grove, slim southpaw who hurls
fireballs for Connie Mack and his
Athletics. Yet without his services,
it is questionable whether the AS
this morning would hold a two-game

Twice Grove has gone into the

AS POISED FOR
FINAL THRUST

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 14.-The
world series of 1929 is resting today
on the vineyard line with the
Athletics in possession Of the ball
and the Cubs still in a swoon. No
baseball of any sort, not even
world's series baseball, being toler.
sted in this city on Sunday, there
!s now in session a 24-hour respite,
hut today the battling is resumed
in the presence of President and
Mrs. Hoover and two Cabinet mem
hers AMI their wives. Furthermore,
there is more than a slight posi-
hiIity that the morrow will also
see the end of the series.
For the Athletics now stand
poised to drive home the final
thrust. They are leading the series
ny three games to one and need
only one more victory to bring the
series to a dramatic close. They
are confident that the momentum
gained in that amazing seventh
inning Saturday, when they scored
70 runs to overcome an eight-run
lead of the Cubs, will sweep them
on to A landslide victory in the
fifth game today. thereby removing
the necessity for playing a sixth
game in Chicago on Wednesday.
As for the Cubs, they still
were too far gone today to
realize anything, for no team in
world series play had ever been

the fortunes Of war-nOt even

ing q blow in self.defense.
But the Cubs did fight back.
Thrown off their stride by the crafty
Connie Mack in the first two games,
they fought back we'll to win the
third and appeared set to capture
the fourth and square the series
when one of the most astonishing
string of events in all baseball
crashed down upon their heads to
flatten them a It. a single blow.
Even the famed second guessers,

were silnnced today. True, Manager

The faltering Charlie Root sooner
than he did in the whirlwind seventh
and he might have inserted Hal Carl

He might even have gone in and

Hack Wilson might have exercised
the foresight to wear two pairs of
smoked glasses, in which event he
might not have lost Mule Haas high
fly in the sun, which fell for home
run and provided the real finishing
blow OF the battle
But above all else Is the feeling
that no matter what the Cubs might
have done it would have made little
difference or would have thwarted
that amazing Mack assault. The
outstanding feature is that the Ath-
letics staged a rally such as had
never been seen before in worlds
series competition.

LAST HOPE
Of CUBS
BY Babe Ruth

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. IA
If the Cubs have anything left
they've got to show it today.
And somehow I've got just a
sneaking hunqh that they
haven't.
After that terrible shellacing Of
Saturday, 1t will be mighty UNI
usual If they can come back this
afternoon and carry the series
back to- Chicago. If they do 1t,
then III be ready to hand it to
them for about as Aame an outfit
as / ever saw,
Somehow the series has been q
little disappointing to me through
those first four games. Being an
American Lacquer, l have been
pulling for the AS TO win, but I
did hope to see the gGmes closer
and tougher than they were. After
the firsa game l still figured the
Cubs would come back. That first
one was strictly a pitchers battle
and didn't give any real line on
the comparative strength Of the
Cubs. But since that first one it
has been all Philadelphia.
Even the game which the
Cubs won was no great recon-
mendation. All that gave them
that one was the breaks. plus
some mighty fine work by Guy
Bush who looks right now as
the individual star of the
Chicago outfit.
In the field, at the bat ands from
the dugout, the AS have had the
edge all throush-and it hasn't
been any thin edge. either. 1t has
been a mighty wide one that 1t
didn't take an expert to see.
All the boys are guessing at the
pitchers for today's game. So fer
as the Cubs are concerned. l don
think 1t takes much guessing. Nc
Carthy has to pitch either Bush or
Malone, and my guess is that Ma
lone will draw the assignment.
Sending Bush back after only two
days rest Is a long, long gamble.
Malone, it's true. worked a while on
Saturday, but it was only for a
short time and the work he did in
that game ought not to keep him
from working today.
Guessing Comics pitcher is like
scratching for that needle the boys
talk about. Grove, l understand.

would be my guess. But II it is
true that Groves finger is bother.
ing him, then l would figure
Ehmke to come back today with
Grove in the bull pen to finish up
if the game demands 1t.
There has been n lot Of
criticism around here because
Joe Mccarthy left Charley Root
in so long on Saturday. Per-
sonalIy l think Joe was right.
A lot of that trouble was
caused by bad fielding breaks,
and so far as I could see in the
press box, Charley still had all

There are many respects in which
the current classic parallels the
1925 series. Just as the Cubs of
1929 played listless ball. so did the
Pirates of that year. The Corsairs
apparently could not get going.
The Cubs have looked that way in
this series.
The Cubs have been guilty of so
much bad baseball that it seems as
II their cause is hopeless. The
same condition prevailed when the
Washington Senators met the Pi-
rates. Washington won the fourth
game. to D, and ran the count
American League.
The Pirates, with this situation,
went into the fifth game with the
tension gone and threw caution to
the winds.
They copied the fifth game,
to 3, took the sixth, to 2,
and grabbed the championship
out of the smoke and rain Of
one Of the most dismal days
Pittsburgh ever has witnessed,
by winning the seventh, 9 to I.
And the player who broke up
that final game with a triple off
Walt : Johnson, is here to help the
Cubs attempt to do as the Pirates
did in 1925.
In this role, We give you Hazen
Cuyler, Cubs right fielder.
His triple wrecked Johnson that
day as it splashed through the mud
and water, and brought in the win

Salvador and Guatemala.

Golden spikes to close the new 30
mile link Of rail line uniting Salvador
and Guatemala, and giving Salvador
for the first time a railroad outlet to
the Caribbean, yesterday were present
ed DR.. Adrian Recinos, Minister OF
Guatemala, and DR.. Carlos Leiva, charge
d'affaires of Salvador, by Fred Davis
president of the International Railways
of Central America, which will be con-
nected up by the new unit. The pre-
sentation was made at the Pan-Ameri-
can Union.
Representatives of neighboring repub-
lies attended the presentation. They
included Juan B. Sacasa, Minister OF
Nicaragua; Manuel Castro Quesada,
Minister of Costa Rica; Carlos A. Per-
domo, Minister of Honduras; Ramiro
Fernandez, first secretary of the Guate-
malan legation. The United States
was represented by Dana S. Munro OF
the State Department and George j.
Eder of the Latin American section OF
the Department of Commerce.
According to the Pan-American Union
the new rail link places the products
of Salvador Is days closer to the mar.
kets of the Eastern United States and
of Europe. Heretofore all shipments
from Salvador have been through the
Panama Canal, from unprotected har-
bors on the Pacific, handicapped by the
added expense of Tightening.
Approximately $12 100000 was spent
on the new line, and its completion
