Attains Dizzy Heights.
THE Clayton veteran rose to his
L greatest height in this fourth bat
tie. He was facing a master left
handler in Grove and he knew that he
could afford no mistakes. In this
emergency he limited the smuggling Ath-
letics to one clean hit and three flabby
infield singles you could strike matches
on. That's how scratchy they were.
Bob Grove pitched better game on
Sunday than he pitched in the opener
back hcme. but yesterday his support
caved in and yesterday he was facing
a rival pitcher who had more stuff.
Each allowed but one earned run, but
they tapped Grove harder than the
Mackmen mauled Haines, who was rid
ing the crest of big day, one of the
best days world series pitcher ever
has known.
The two rival moundsmen might have
been tied up until darkness if the
usually reliable Jimmy Dykes at third
had not picked up Blades grounder in
the fourth and pegged it off-line to
Foxx at first. There were two out at
the time with Hafey rambling on his
way from second but the throw went
wild, Hafey scored, and singles by Will
son and Colbert drove over the second
run to put big Haines in front with
winning lead
The big crowd on Sunday sensed the
fact that If the Cardinals could upset
Grove they had a great chance to
scramble through. 1t was a crowd that
packed every square inch of the Cardi-
nal stands. They we're damned 10
deep back of the final rows and they
were all full OF noise and the old West
ern hip-hip. They opened the chorus
with a battle chant and they never
stopped till the final out.
Beat Grove" the Idea.
ON. almost every play you could look
~ down 10000 open Threats and hear
about as much racket as the West
ern front ever knew.
Beat Grove and we take the series
was the idea that permeated the rollick-
ing throng and the Cardinals beat
fine game Mack's tall left-hander
turned in.
If Jimmy Dykes had retired the side
on his throw to- first in the fourth
inning Grove might easily have gotten
away with a three-hit game But the
support that saved him on Wednesday
slipped yesterday and one slip was
enough to open the Dykes and let the
Cardinal tide flow to victory.
BY beating Grove and tieing UP the
count at 2 and the Cardinals now
have the edge. They have Grimes,
Hallahan and Haines left, while Mack
has only Earnshaw and Grove, and
Grove already has worked his way.
through killing season and two hard
world series games. Here is another
psychological edge. The Cardinals
came from 10la games behind to win
the National League pennant. They
in front. They were two games behind
in this series, after the first two games.
They were out of the series, but here
they are again running even.
They have shown twice they could
come from the rut to the peak, from
the lowlands to the uplands. That
means something in the way of flaming
dent of ultimate success.
Their one big barrier was Lefty
Grove. They knew Grove would be
better yesterday than he was on We'd
nesday. If Grove could win the Cards
would be in too deep hole to scramble
out. But If Grove was beaten they
figured the entire aspect Of the series
fore their concentrated fire, plus the
low throw Jimmy Dykes heaved to first
on hard play.
Haines Deserved Victory.
DUT the Athletics had no license to
~ beat Jess Haines. The big veteran
was at his best. He pitched with
his head as often as he threw with his
arm. He mixed them up with fast
ball and slow ball, curves and a
change Of pace. Both Haines and Grove
kept the ball in close, with the result
that IA batters few out to right, seven
on each side. Ard not one of these got
free swing. They were all half
throttled. Haines and Grove were
throwing to the small ends of their
bats, as Clarence Rowland put 1t, and
Athletics got off Haines came from AL
Simmons bat in the first inning.
The other three were all infleld taps
that were knocked down. The one
credited to Jimmy Foxx was a slow
roller to Frank FTisch that should have
been an easy out Frisch had his man
on the play and fumbled. He still had
his man and fumbled again in hurry
to pick up the ball. The one solid blow
was a line single to right center and
from that spot pn Haines had Mr..
Mack's famous sluggers at his mercy.
He walked his way into one or two
bad looking holes, but when the show
down came he had the stuff to work
his way out again into scoreless plains.
Haines has been around 10 or IL
years. He is no great headliner, but
any pitcher who can shut out the
Yankees of 1926 with Ruth and who
four years later can suppress the Ath-
letics with one clean hit is a pitcher
who deserves to stand beneath the great
white spotlight of fame. He is no part
of a punk and you can bet a shoe store
against shoe string on that dope.
Grove Deserved Better.
DOE GROVE yesterday deserved a
- better fate, but he never deserved
TO beat Haines.
The fourth battle opened with rush
before the largest and most excited
crowd of the series. Bishop beat out
rap to Bottonaley and Haires then re-
