premacy away from home.
Gabby Street brought his players tx
Sportsman's park with nothing t.
show for their efforts at Shibe park
against the Philadelphia Athletics
worlds champions. In this he was
in exactly the desperate situation
faced by Bill McKechnie two years
ago when he arrived from the Yankee
stadium, boasting nothing but Z
deficit. On the other hand In 102e
Rogers Hornsby, after two games ir
New York. had an even break.
The home grounds have not beer

1925 Last Victory
No National league champion hai
won q series from the American
standard bearer since that seven.
game battle in 1925 when Grover
Cleveland Alexander, in the role Of
relief pitcher, protected the thin
margin Of the team when managed
by the Rajah.
The present day Cardinals admit
tedly faced q stern assignment in the
games at home. With two losses be-
hind them they knew that unlese
they could take the third game Of the
series. they would have only . slight
chance to overtake the flying Ath-
letics.
II the Cardinals should fall ia
break into the win column today they
would have to win four straight
games. possible but not probable In
q worlds series.
To capture the important game
today. Manager Charles Street named
wild Bill" Hallahan, his sensational
young lefthander, to do the pitching
for the Cardinals.
st. Louis players insist that Hslle-
han is as fast as Vance and faster
than Robert Moses Grove, the Ath-
letics lefthanded ace, and q meeting
between the two southpaws has been
hailed as a baseball natural" There
was a possibility that 1t might ma
terialize today. but men close tc
Connie Mack were inclined to think
the veteran manager Of the Athletics
would give Grove another day Of rest
and send either Bill Shores, young
Highlander. or George Walberg, q big
l~efthander, to the mound.
Connie maintained his character
istic Mackian r~eticence with no sug-
gestion that he would reveal hia
pitching choice until shortly before
game time.
Wilson Replaces Mancuso
A change in the starting lineup Of
the Cardinals was announced in the

a. . veteran battery mate for the
youthful fiallahan.
Manager Mack was not expected ia
make any change in his lineup.

prepared to do battle in the third
contest that neither he o his play
ers were downhearted.
