ST. LOUIS CONFIDENT
OF TEAMS CHANCES
100000 Requests for $4,000 Seats
Are Poured Into Offices
of Cardinals.

ST. LOUIS, September 30.-St. Louis
is taking the worlds series between the
Cardinals and the Philadelphia Athletics
in a much more matter-of-fact manner
this year than in 1926 and 1928, when
the club won the National League title.
While more than 100000 requests for
reservations for the games poured into
the Cardinal Offices, there is not the
same enthusiasm evident as in 1928,
when Bill McKechnie plotted the team
to its second flag in three years, and
much less than when Rogers HornSby
gave st. Louis its first pennant in 1926.
Nevertheless, the fans are confident
that Streets men will give Philadelphia
more trouble than most experts figure,
and to back it up there is much Cardi-
nal money in evidence, particularly
since the local betting commissioners
have made the Athletics Is to 10
favoriteS to win the series.
The first tickets for the st. Louis
games, Saturday, Sunday and Monday,
were placed in the mail yesterday, and
it is planned to complete the mailing
today. Supervised by two Post ONCE
inspectors a squad of clerks took care
of the registering.
Thirty-nine thousand spectators can
be accommodated for each of the games.
The grand stand and boxes hold 25, 500
and temporary field boxes ! 500. There
Is standing room for $500, the pavilion
seats $500 and the bleachers 5000.
The prices charged are boxes $3.50,
grand stand $780, standing room So,
pavilion SO and bleachsrs 81.

Mack, Cochrane Held Likely
To Garry As to Series Win

The pitching skill of Grove and
Earnshaw may be matched by the curv-
ing talent of Grimes, Hallahan, Rhem
and Haines. The big bats of Simmons.
FoXX, Miller, Haas and Cochrane may
play a livelier base hit tune than the
war clubs of Hafey, Frisch, Watkins,
Bottomley and Douthit.
AS a club, the Cardinals have outhit
the Athletics more than 20 points on
the seasons play. Without much dis
pute they also overcame sitter opposi-
ton in winning the National League
flag than the AS did in repeating in
the American League. Where the Mack
men had only Washington to worry
about most of the season, the Cardinals
had to fight their way through three
tough and seasoned outfits-the Robins,
Giants and Cubs.
Every regular on the Cardinals club
has hit 800 or better for the year, al
though Bottomley Colbert, Douthit
and Adams barely got inside this figure.
Boley, Bishop, Dykes, Haas and Miller
range between ass and 800 in stick
work, but the cleanup wallops of Coch-
rane, Simmons and Foxx have habit
of being produced when hits mean runs.
The Cardinals, however, have no
backstops to compare with Cochrane in
any department of play. Since the in
jury of Jimmy Wilson, St. Louis has
relied on Gus Mancuso, a hard hitter
and hard worker, who is expected to do
most, If not all Of the catching.

CARDS IN STRIDE
FOR TITLE TESTS
Macks Favored, Though, in
Spite of Steam-RoIIer
Squirt of Foes.
BY WALTER TRUMBULL.
TINE Philadelphia Athletics shou

TINE Philadelphia Athletics should
go into the world series to-
morrow favorites and come out
of it the winners; but 1 don't
think they are going to have any soft
time. However, this promises to be
pretty exciting set of games, and the
grand old dope may be spilled all over
the ball yard.
Man for man, the st. Louis club of
this season certainly looks no better on
paper than did the Cubs of last year
and you know what happened to the
Cubs then. But you also know-if you
think a bit-that the series between
the Mackmen and the Cubs was a lot
closer than it looked
The Athletics had to pull couple OF
miracles out of the base ball cap to win
a couple of those contests, and that is
just what they did.
Connie Mack has a club with pitch
ing and fielding strength, hitting power,
confidence, experience and reserve
strength.
But one thing to remember is that
the Cards are coming up to this series
under a full head of steam. They have
been rolling along with the f1nality OF
Old Man Interviewing over all that
tried to hold them.

LOUISVILLE AIMING
TO EVEN UP SERIES
Depending Upon Marcum, Young
ster, Today to Beat Rochester,
Now Leading 8 Games to 2.

BY the Associated Press.
LOUISVILLE, KY, September 3d.
Allan Sothoron, manager of the Louis
Vile Colonies, has selected Johnny Mar
cum, youthful Highlander, to hurl the
sixth game of the little world series"
between Louisville and Rochester here
today.
Marcum, who recently was recalled
from the Dayton club of the Central
League, has only pitched five games for
the Colonies. OF these he won four and
was not charged with q loss in the fifth
He is leading the team in hitting for
the series, during which he has been
playing in right field.
Manager Billy Southworth OF the
Rochester Redwings did not announce
his mound choice, but it was anticipated
that John Berry, who already holds an
8-to-l decision against the Colonies in
this series, would start.
Rochester is leading by three games
to two in the series, which is to be de-
cided by five out of nine games. Louis
vile won the first game at Rochester
and yesterdays game, which was the
first in the local park.
The weather forecast was fair and

have mentioned, we may eclipsed as
far as individual performers and their
records go. But what matters that?
At the end of our last league series in
Cleveland this year. when we had about
clinched the pennant, heard manager
Mack remark: You are looking today
at as good team as have ever had"
And that, believe me, is a mouthful
In these games Grove and Earnshaw
we're at their peak, and the rest of the
team functioned like the well-oiled
machine it is.
1t is a club Connie Mack always has
believed in, even in 1928, before we our
selves realized our possibilities. 1t is
a living example of what tolerance,
untiring patience and advice have
nodded together. While he never had
admitted It to me or to any one else,
I always will believe Connie has taken
more pride and satisfaction in the
development of his present Champion
ship team than in any of his past
winners.
Team Gets Results.
1t has required more work, and
whether the club is recognized as great
or not, the one thing that has to be
admitted is that it gets results. And
that is what counts. Like the base hit,
it's not "how" but where"
Take every vital series last year or
this, when any one club seriously
threatened we stopped them. Early in
the season Washington, our closest rival,
beat us seven straight. They came into
Philadelphia Decoration day, and had
us beaten in the morning game by 8
runs, two men out in the ninth inning,
no one on base. Then things began to
happen. We tied the score and eventu-
ally won. We continued on and beat
them in turn seven straight
That particular game and its moral
effect. believe, were the beginning of
the end so far as the American League
Pennant race for 1880 was concerned.
Assured OF our pennant in mid
September, naturally we have been
watching with interest and speculation
the outcome of the National League
race. The two leading clubs finished
as we rated them, but we missed up on
third and fourth. We figured to have
had the least trouble with the Giants,
Especially with their pitching. Brooklyn

IN PHILADELPHIA, September 3d.
- Two of the factors that help
weigh the balance of dope" in
Philadelphia's favor in the base
ball battle with st. Louis for the world
championship are the man in the dug
out, Connie Mack, and the man behind
the bat, Gordon Mickey Cochrane.
Macks shrewdness and great expert
ence, Cochrane's aggressiveness and
masterful handling of the AS mounds
men count heavily in a short conflict
where the forcing of few breaks" at
vital moments often proves decisive.
They are factors that may have more
to do with the outcome of the world
series than the individual brilliancy of
Simmons or Grove or Foxx. the fighting
spirit of the Cardinals or the law of
average.
So far as the comparative figures and
records 60, good case can be made
out of either contender in the annual
American base ball classic. The greater
experience and fine defense of the AS,
plus the confidence of their 1929 con-
quest, may be Offset by the aggressive
attack that carried the Cardinals past
all obstacles to the National League
peak.

GAChnAB the WINNER
n A OST of those who like the Ath-
M letics In this next world series
advance the following reasons:
l. The pitching of Grove and
need from others.
2. The managerial craft and wisdom
of Connie Mack, now facing his seventh
world series.
8. The catching and spirit of Mickey
Cochrane.
4. The assaulting powers of Al Sim
mons. Cochrane, FoxX and others, in
highly concentrated form at the big
moments.
Those who favor the Cardinals have
this to say:
/. Here is the team that has been
coming in hurry for six weeks and
has the impetus of victory.
2. More pitchers to call in Hallahan,
Grimes, Haines, Rhem, etc.
3. A harder hitting lineup all the
way through.
4. Frank Frisch in a world series,
where he is at his best
5. Greater all-around speed
6. A better infield
THERE is logic enough back of all
L this rival reasoning But the Ath-
letics have the stronger case. Con-
ME mack is a past master of world
series strategy. He can sense situations
quicker than any one in the game. He
was directing world series campaigns
back in 1905, and that happens to be
Is years ago. His teams have been in
six world series and he has won four
of these. He has made almost no mis-
takes.
He had no chance in the series of
1905, where the pitching of Matty and
McGinnity broke up the series in short
order with four shutouts from five
starts.
The matter of Grove and Earnshaw
pitching to Mickey Cochrane is an
other important detail in world series.
Cochrane is one of the best catchers
that ever played, possibly the best of
them all. He is confident that Grove
and Earnshaw will be at their best in
this series, able to work four games at
least.
The Cardinals have more pitching
talent. but no two who can quite match
this pair.
Not Quite as Good.

away from 1929. But there was enough
strength left to beat Washington. one
of the best teams in either league,
down the pennant speedway.
They still have two of the best pitch
ers In base ball, two seasoned perform
ers, handled by a great catcher. And
they still have plenty of power on at

and others who can hit in a pinch.
About the Cardinals.
THERE is nothing soft or pulpy about
- this st. LoIis ball club. 1t has
proved its ability to come surging
up from far behind. 1t has four dan
gerous pitchers in Grimes, one of the
last of the spit-ball stars; Hallahan, a
fast left-hander; Haines and Rhem.
1t has two fine infielders in Frisch
and Bottomley, who can do their share
OF hitting. Hafey is always dangerous.
The team is well rounded with a high
batting average all along the front
Gabby Street has been handling the
club well, holding it together. Street
has been around long enough to know,
and he has proved his place this sea-
son.
NATIONAL League pennant winners
" have now accumulated the total
of one victory in their last 10
world series games. The Yankees won
four straight in 1927 and four straight
IN 1928. The Athletics made it four of
five in 1929.
Yet the Cardinals were the last Ma
tional League club to win world series,
and that was four years ago. Frisch,
Bottomley, Haines, Rhem and Hafey
were in that series on the winning side.
1t will be a tough blow for the Ma
tional League to drop another series.
1t hasn't great ball club to beat, but
it has one TO stop in an important show
where confidence counts heavily.
The Athletics are more concerned
about Burleigh Grimes than any one
else. Grimes is a strong money pitcher,
and he is q Spit-ball workman where
few are left. The Athletics are not so
sure of manhandling the Cardinals
pitching staff. But they feel pretty
sure the Cardinals will have even more
trouble with Grove and Earnshaw.
For several years these world series
went the limit. Then they suddenly fell
away to brief runs. They have had to
send money back for eight games in
the last three years, and that means
we'll over a million dollars. It seems to
be about time, In the general break of
fortune, for another six or seven game
series.
.NNE or two members Of the Cub out
~ fit rated Hallahan as fast as Bob

Hallahan is even close to being that

might slip speedometers into the two
