PHILADELPHIA, September 29.-
- Collectively, the Cardinals have
o heavier hitting outfield array
than the Athletics, but In the
robust person Of Aloysius Harry Sim
mons the American League champions
possess the slugger most apt to break
up q ball game on short notice.
Rival managers and pitchers do not
hesitate to say they would rather see
any member Of the AS except Simmons
come to the plate in q pinch. Simmons
started the winning rallies for the
Mackmen in the last two games Of the
1929 worlds series. What he left un-
done. his outfield mates, George (Mule)
Haas and Edmund (Bing) Miller,

AS. Bing Miller still includes among
his cherished souvenirs the war club

decided the final game Of the battle
with the Cubs last year.
Miller and Haas on.
Miller and Haas have not been hitting
any where near their best this year.
Haas has been a casualty, but their
series records help Offset the fact that
the St. Louis outfleld trio of George
Watkins, Chictk ,Hafey and Taylor
Douthit has been hitting at .355 clip
as compared to around 1926 for their
rivals.

seen a team rise so magnifcently, so
irreSistibly.
'They say we got the breaks? Well,
perhaps we did, but do not forget that
my players were forcing them; that
they refused to let an eight-run lead
by the opposition discourage them"
MACK'S strategy in manipulating his
IL pitchers proved a big factor in the
series. Not once were the Cubs or
the experts able to guess correctly the
old masters mound selection, especially
when he surprised them by starting the
veteran Howard Ehmke In the first
game at Chicago.
Ehmke, of little use during the pen
nant race, was about to be released
late In the season when he pleaded for
chance to stick and pitch In the world
series. knowing the tall fingers ability,
Mack consented and told Ehmke to let
him MACK know when he was ready
to work.
Just before the opening game, Ehmke
fingered after q team conference. He
told Mack he was ready"

ONLY TWO RETAIN
BIG LEAGUE TITLES
Ruth Continues to Top Home

BY the Associated Press.
N YEW YORK, September 29.-Only
M two individual champions in
" the major leagues have retained
their titles in the season just
ended.
Babe Ruth, although unable to re-
main home-run king of all base ball,
continued to- lead the American League
with 40 four-bsggers, improving his
1929 mark by three.

be was not able to pass the total of
254 hits made by Frank ODoul of
Philadelphia in winning in the 1929
title with 1898 mark. He did tie this
total, which is National league record.
Klein and Wilson Lead.
Chuck Klein Of Philadelphia and
Hack Wilson of Chicago led in the in
d1vidual record smashing Klein scored
blows good for a total of ass bases. All
three were records for his league, pass
ing the totals of 156 and 50, made last
year by Roger Hornsby of Chicago and
Johnny Frederick of Brooklyn and of
$50 total bases made by Hornsby a few
years before. Wilson left hardly frag-
ment OF the league home-run record as
he hit Sc to beat the mark of 43 set by
Klein In 1929. And in doing this he
established an all-time major league
mark Of 100 runs batted in and helped
his team do as much for the club homer
record with total Of I'll for the Cubs.

ship which Lou Gehrig of the Yankees
and AL Simmons of the Athletics car
ried on may not be known until the
omcial figures come out, but unoficial
returns have it that Gehrigs three hits
yesterday brought his mark to 1892, to
give him the crown by a one-point
margin. Whoever gets the decision
supplants Lew Fonseca Of Cleveland.
Charley Gehringer of Detroit, who
swept American League honors In 1929,
came to the end of this year without
title. Last season Gehringer led in
runs with 131, in triples with 10 and
in stolen bases with ~ and was In

and Crowder deal. Manush with his
fine hitting and fielding did much TO
keep the club up In the race. Crowder
hurled excellent ball after exchanging
uniforms and finished among the best
in the league. Harris, pressed into out
field service late In the campaign, field
ed we'll and hit satisfactorily Shires,
though, after q brief trial, was retired
to the bench until the final week of the
campaign. Despite his infrequent APP
pearanees In games, however, Art proved
OF real value.
THIS season the Nationals were a
i well balanced club. They hit Sec
ond among the league outfits and
fielded irf fine style. They ran the
bases well and generally their strategy
was sound.
They had among them one of the
outstanding players of the year in Joe
Cronin, shortstop. Joe socked the ball
solidly, fielded smartly and was gener-
ally regarded the most improved young
ball player in the majors. Such vet
Grams as Sam Rice and Joe Judge
helped greatly in attack, each splilrg-

For more than two months Rice led

Connie endeavored to use the Ma
tionals as trial horses for his "bie
three" pitching staff in the final fling,
but the Nationals bucked and tossed q
pair Of his beavers into the dust. Rube
Walberg, big left-hander, went the
scheduled three innings, but took q
bump In the second that caused him
TO be charged with the loss of the game.
Then George Earnshaw, high-ciass
highlander, tried his stuff, but George
made such sorry showing that Ed
Rommel, mere second-stringer. had
to- rush TO his rescue in the fifth frame.
Grove Gets His, Too.
Finally the great Bob Grove, fastest
Of left-handers, attempted to subdue
the rampaging Nationals, but even
Robert Moses the Great felt their kick
in the second Of his two rounds.
All told, the Nationals collected q
dozen safeties and four passes. Four Of
their hits and two of their runs were
on Walberg. All their passes, five hits
and six runs were OF Earnshaw. on
Rommel they cleaned only one hit, but
they nicked Grove for two safeties and
a tally.
In sharp contrast to this pitching was
that done by Alvin Crowder for the
home side. AL went the route, allowing
seven hits. The General was wild, for
he Issued nine passes, but he contrived
to distribute these passes so that only
two were converted into runs. The first

THE season Of 1929 stripped

L. of Connie Mack, restored
his enthusiasm and eager
ness for the game that has been
his life.
Nearing his 67th birthday, he
vas the central figure in one Of

The fates at last turned in Mack's
favor, after long interval. The Ma

ing for Old Connie" Hundreds wrote
him letters of praise, advice, even warm
ing they were ''off him" If the AS
did not come through.
There was something irresistible about
the march of the AS throughout the
1929 campaign, just as there had been
in the victorious rush of the Washing
ton Senators in 1925, when Walter
johnson finally enacted the world series
role of popular hero.
'"The club this year is WORKING its

day. This time the old masters world
series managerial rival was Joe. Nc
Carthy, who was playing on the back
lots of Germantown, a Philadelphia
suburb, when Mack first took command
of the Athletics.
Mackian strategy and the sensational
batting rallies of the Athletics in the
last two games proved too much for
Mccarthy and his Cubs. The Phila-
delphian triumped in four out OF hve
games.
None who was there or who listened
to the radio description ever will forget
the famous seventh inning of the fourth
game when the Athletics, apparently
Iopelessly beaten on the short end OF
an 30 score, hammered out 10 runs
in the most spectacular rally ever wit
messed in world championship play. BY
comparison, even the thrilling ninth
inning rally of the final game, witnessed
by President Hoover, was an anti
climax.
Mack laughed at the reports that he
was so excited he fell on the bench
during the hectic 10-run squirt Of the
fourth battle at Shibe Park.
@Why, never so much as moved,
much less lost my balance" he told me.
