OPPOSING PLAYERS
 HUMAN OFF FIELD
Series Sidelights Show Them Like All Other MOrtalS
Philadelphia, Pa. Oct. (UP)-

 Out on the ball field the world series contenders are a couple of cham pionship ball clubs going through the motions of striving for the highest prize in baseball. Catch them behind the scenes in their dressing rooms, and one finds them human beings, with all the fault-finding and humor of the most distant fans in the bleachers. | Here are some of the things over heard in dugout and dressing room , during the 1880 world series: Burleigh Grimes, veteran spit ball pitcher of the St. Louis Cardinals, who has twice pitched 5 hit games against the Athletics and lost both of them, telling how he was going to beat them the day before the series opened.
 Grimes Still Hopeful Grimes stililng talking about how he was going to beat them, after l losing the fifth game Monday at St. Louis, when Jimmy Foxx hit his home run with runner on base in the ninth inning.
 T can't beat 'em without runs" grumbled Grimes, 'let 'em get me some runs and I'll beat 'em yet"
 Jess Haines 37 year old Cardinal Louis team, wearing a two days growth of beard on his face and carrying home jug and a wrist watch after beating the Athletics S-1 in the fourth game of the series. T had just about decided to quit if I could pitch one more good game" said Haines, but I had so much stuff I've decided I can pitch for a couple of more years now" What's that jug for Jesse? ?" someone asked.
 T don't know" he replied. Some body handed it to me but I don't know what to do with it now that have it."
 Wilson Bcmoans Luck Jimmy Wilson, crack Cardinal catcher, whose playing has been an inspiration to his team since he broke into the third game after be- ing laid up with an injured ankle, ninth inning of the fifth game.
 What a lousy ball club" moaned | Wilson, who wasn't talking about the Cards. "The ball stuck in his glove, the ball stuck in his glove, I tell you, can you beat it? Such luck"
 ] Foxx had just hit homer in the As ninth and the Cards were des- perately trying to stave off defeat in their half. Wilson, coming up with Blades on first and one out. drove a sharp grounder to Grove, the ball 1 taking a high bounce right into Groves glove.
 How They Meet "the Boys"
 The difference between the inter views given out by Connie Mack and Gabby Street.:
 Mack, meeting the reporters by appointment, and quickly analyzing the high spots of the game in his own shrewd way, places emphasis on what he considers the turning point of the game.
 Street makes the reporters wait and then bawls them out for criti- cising him team after they had lost the first two games.
 T shouldn't even talk to you fel- lows for some of the stuff you wrote in Philadelphia" he shouted.
 Grimes Snubs Earnshaw
 George Earnshaw. As big right handler, passing by Grimes on the ! Cards bench before the fifth game, and saying:
 Hello. Grimes"
 Having Grimes reply:
 Hello, there Jim Moore."-Jim Moore being Texas league rookie out of the minors only a few weeks
 The incident made Earnshaw a bit peeved, and he resolved to beat Grimes, which he did with the aid of Jimmy Foxx and Lefty Grove. Foxx Laconic About Homer Getting an easy interview from modest Jimmy Foxx after he had cracked his dramatic home run. Tt was a curve ball outside. I hit it a mile. It felt good. Say anything else you like" l Jim Bottomley, goat of the series. standing under the stands behind the Cards dugout in the ninth inning of the fifth game, gargling his mouth with water and looking like a man carrying a heavy load on his mind.
