s. Connie Mack crossed up many
of the dopesterS again yesterday
by calling on George EarnShaw.
oWno had had but one day of re-
spite, spent on train following his
five-inning period of toll WedneS-
day, and so accustomed have they
become to unusual moves on the
part of the tall tactician that not
even the selection of some young
.,ster like Breckenridge or Shores
instead of the more logical Jack
dQuinn or Lefty" Grove would oc-
;casion more than mild wonder
sinent.
Considering the results attained yes
terday the iron man role assigned to
Earnshaw proved fully justified, for the
cool and collected right-hander yielded
only six hits as against the nine
amassed by the AS of Guy Bush and
ran his total for strikeouts into double
figures, while issuing but pair OF free
tickets. ......
Fr Two Cub Runs Unearned.
ss As matter of actual fact the worst
fEarnshaw rates yesterday was 1-to-l
draw, for two of the Cubs markers
were of the unearned variety. due to
q costly error by Dykes at a critical
stage.
=. Bush deserves a full need of credit
for the verdict registered by him, Tor
he was seriously threatened on no less
than four occasions in addition to the
NTH inning, when singles by Cochrane
sand Miller, with an infield retirement
ssandwiched between, gave the AS their
Jlone tally.
- In round two, for instance, when sue
scessive safeties by Dykes and Boley and
q futile throw enabled them to decorate
third and second bases, he had mar
on the scoring end OF double steal.
Umpire-in-Ch Moran nisled the
80, 00O-odd fans in Shibe Park by giving
the safe" sign as Dykes slid over the
plate under the delivery to Catcher
Taylor, only to reverse to "out'' when it
occurred to him that the pitch, being
cgood one, constituted the third strike
against Earnshaw.
Successive safeties by Haas and
4Cochrane, with English's daily error on
bounder from the bat of Foxx, loaded
the sacks with Mackmen in the fourth,
when Bush escaped by. causing Miller
to loft, and in the following frame he
crawled out of another hole occaSioned
by Boley's second straight hit and
pass to Bishop when Haas was similarly
disposed Of
ii Yields One Hit After Fifth.
After the AS single scoring session,
the fifth, Bush gave up but one hit,
however. This was Bishops first of the
series, coming in round seven and fol-
lowing pass to Cochrane and Sim
Hinons' sacrifcal fiy. The predicament of
having Mackmen on third and second
for the third time. was solved by limit
ing Jimmy Foxx, who had nlanufac-
tured honers in both Of the first two
tits, to little dribble in front of the
plate. -.
But Bush's contributions toward vic
tory were not confined to pitching.
Having seen his mates restricted by
Earnshaw to two hits In the first five
frames, including triple by Hack Will
son to start the second, the slender
Cub curver took matters into his own
hands in the sixth and by lodging and
bobbing around in the batter's box
coaxed the first free ticket from Earn
shaw.
Mcmillan was unable to help, popping
q foul in an effort to sacrifice, but some
1unlooked-for assistance came from the
enemy when Dykes obligingly fumbled
English's roller and the tying tally ma
sterialized when Hornsby, who had
famed on both of his two previous ap-
pearances to raise his total of Strikeouts
for the series to half dozen, came

Wilson, whose two earlier safeties

point, but Cuyler. previously victimized
