CHICAGO MAY SEE
 MORE OF SERIES
Cubs Need Only One More YiC-
 tory to Return Home Again

Philadelphia, Oct. 12 (UP)--The Cubs were back in the running to- day, with only one more victory needed in the two games here Sat urday and Monday to carry the world series back to Chicago.
 Guy Bush. lean swarthy southern CT who halted the heavy artillery of the Philadelphia Athletics In the third game, told the United Press in his quaint drawl how he did it.
 T didn't realize I was pitching a world series game until two men were out in the ninth" the dark eyed Chicago Cubs right handler said. It was one of the easiest games I ever worked"
 Leaning back against 6 flower pot in the lobby of the Cubs hotel, Bush puffed on black cigar and told how he stopped Jimmy Foxx, whose pace started the As to victory In the first two games, not once, but three times in q pinch.
 'I knew if I kept the ball on the outside FOXX wouldn't get any ot those home runs off me-" Bush said T gave him plenty of speed and made him reach for them. He never bothered me at all"
 Foxx famed once, and hit ground CTS the other three times up. He got on base when English booted his roller in the third inning. Three times FoXX came up with men on bases and he was unable to hit Bush's dazzling fast ball, low and on the outside corner.
 Bush is a lanky, hungry-looking chap with skin dark enough to make him resemble q foreigner He has high cheek bones and has long dark Sideburns on the side of his face He weighs ITO pounds but looks thin and weak in civilian clothes His eyes were blood-shot and he looked as if he had been out on 6 party the night before.
 What made you keep getting yourself in hole all the time, Bush was asked
 T don't know why" he answered T made up my mind last night when Joe Mccarthy told me to get ready 10 pitch that nothing was go- ing to worry me, l went out there to take my time, work hard on every man and forget it was world series That's what I did even when they
  them and pitched just like they weren't there.
 T almost forgot about Dykes or third, too, and he slipped home be. fore l knew it. But I got the third strike over on Earnshaw and tha, ended the inning and the score didn', count"
 4 group Of young boys from Buff. falo cam" up and got Bush to auto. graph half dozen balls for them A minute later two ladies from Nil, waukce walked up and said:
 We just want to shake your hand 1 Mr. Bush"
 Why, sure" he said. Now whats your name?" he rcpcated their names over To remember then and said:
 "Thats sho' nn" I'm glad you liked the way I pitched"
 When they left Bush turned anG said.
 "W"n, if they wer" looking ror tn" hero, they had better go oyer th"re in 'hc corner and shake hands I with kiki cuylar, that's the bab, "Ao really won the game, l pitched 1 if all right, tut h" won it with tha- hit in tn" sixth"

Philadelphia, Oct. 12 tUP)-Thc cause of the generally uninspired performance of the players and in applicable apathy on the part of the fans, was resumed here today with the Philadelphia Athletics leading the Chicago Cubs two games to one
 A courageous pitching effect by lanky Guy Bush and a timely re- covery of a missing batting eye of Kiki Cuyler had put the Cubs, win ners in thethird game by the score of to 1, within striking distance of evening up the series. and the Ma tional leagne champions went out to- day determined to do so,
 But somehow, for all that, the spirit of Mudville is missing.
 There has been nothing to remind one of the prodigious ambition and spectacular collapse of the immortal Casey, nor do the fans Of Phila- delphia hang brcathless on the every move of their heroes in the pinches. These fans do not even break down and weep when their ball club blows up.
 The tense spirit of partisanship which characterized the game in the days when mighty Casey went to bat for Mudville is nowhere to be found.
 Being ambition money players. Of course. the Chicago Cubs will be out there this afternoon, fighting to even the count The Athletics, presuma- bly,, will try to deal their National league rivals another of those tell ing blows which all but put the Cubs down for the count in the open ing games at Chicago.
 It will be Charley Root for Chi cago, and goodness only knows who for Philadelphia.
 Connie Mack, tasting the sting of defeat for the first time in the series, was trying to think up another of those spectacular surprises such as the one with which he crossed the Cubs by sending Howard Ehmke in to pitch and win the first game.
 The Mackmen did not show to ad- vantage in their first appearance before their own fans yesterday. Jimmy IFoxx, the versatile first base man. who was the hitting hero of the games in Chicago, couldn't bat ball out of the nfeld. Al Simmons went hitlcss. Jimmy Dykes. most popular of the whole lot with the ;rF< to contribute the misplay which 7 helped along the three run Chicago rally in the sixth inning.
 That rally was featured by time ly hits from the bats of Rogers Hornsby and kiki Cuyler. who, in a measure, thus redeemed themselves for earlier errors of omission.
 But it was the lion hearted work of Guy Bush, the soft spoken, drawl- ing Mississippian, who pitched him self and his ball club to victory despite constant trouble, which was most responsible for the Cubs first victory Of the series, which also was the first achieved hy National league contender iN three successive years Of wor}d series play.
 Not only arc the Cuus decidedly better or' nathcmatically as 8 re- suit Of winning the third game, but they should prove q vastly lmprov ed ball club with tho encourdsomenr they received from their victory.
 The spell IS broken. They have proved that they are not d"a'iuod for any such devastating defeat q. overlook Pittsburgh in 1e27 and thc St. Louis Cardinals in t&2N. They have fair chance of coming through now 10 win tho 1929 world series. If they so down, it won't be with a c-lt Cs .-El.-.--.eh

o'clock at Mem orial Field in Willow team of this city will encounter the stiffest opposition of the city when it stacks up against the powerful Newark Bears. The visiting delega- ton is considered one of the most powerful professional football teams in the east outside of the National league and the locals will have to be at top form for the game.
 With lineup composed of stars of former years In well known and strong college elevens, the team also has reserve list that looks like the who's who of football. The team has met and defeated some of the hest combinations in this section and, in it's first appearance in this city. the club is confident of taking the measure of the local team.
 The Nutmegs have two victories to their credit already both of them in the Eastern Professional league. The first game of the year against the New London Ockfords. resulted in a victory for the locals by the score of 40 to 0 and the sec- ond agains the Williams team of New Haven, was a win for New Brit 1 ain by 13 to score.
 All of the regulars on the local team, with the exception of Johnny Grip, are reported to be in excellent shape for the battle tomorrow. Grip may not play because of a broken rib suffered last Sunday in New Haven. Buckley will probably be stationed at quarterback In his place.
 One of the largest crowds of the season is sure to turn out to watch the locals in action tomorrow. Tho kickoff will take place promptly at 2:30 o'clock.

SCALPERS FOOLED
 BY TICKET SALE
Rum0rS Of Counterfeit Tickets
 Causes Market to Fall

Philadelphia. Oct. 12 (CP)---The bottom has fallen out of the world series market around here and If 1t didn't have sentimental associations you could probably buy Shibe park for a song rhyming "sedate" and som ething l ate"
 The Athletics made their first home town appearance as world ser ies money players in ] 5 years yes telday and the occasion was attend cd by all the wild public rejoicing that usually marks the opening of the oyster season.
 There was no bleacher line today to fool the innocent writers in town into believing that so1n ethinE really was up, and the 1900 highly excit- cd gentlemen who milIed around the entrances shortly before game time, was generally accepted as a token of great things inside. But it turned out to be the old side show added at traction racket. Once inside, the 1000 fans who parted their coat tails were too embarrassed by the po- lite atmosphere to become chummy
 And the 1900 gentlemen outside were found to be excited because they were tickct-scalpers. who had paid full prices for tickets and were suddenly aware that instead of ob- tainlng 80 each for them they would be lucky 10 sell for cash at $l.50 the ducat.
 A wild rumor went around last night that as many as 7.500 persons had been refused admission to the sacred stamping grounds of the Ele- plants because they had bought counterfeit tickets It was finally reduced to an estimated 15Q unfor- tunates turned away at the turnstilcs on the ground that the federal stamp showed their tickets had been in the hands Of scalpers.
 1 Tho woe Of these unfortunates was ! not lcsscn"d by the fact that other l scalpers were offering the tickets for ! the equivalent of two hot dogs and q i bottle of pop, or four sacks of damp 1 peanuts Ducats which had brought 1 the Shibe park management $5.50 several weeks ago, az q matter of l fact, were going begging at $50, 1 There vas no indication that today ! would be any plcasontcr for the | 'Icket-snaving gentry, since appar- "Ntly all the fans who came ycstcr- 1 day were there to see Graham Me ] Name. broadcast instead of q rough
