New York, Oct. g RIThere was only one nomination today for the player most entitled to enter the ranks Of world series heroes.
 He is George Livingston Earn shaw, New Yorker by birth. Phila- delphian by adoption and achieve ment, alumnus of Swarthmore col lege and right-handed iron man" pitching ace of the worlds cham pion Athletics.
 Earnshaw is 30 years old now, long past the day when he used to hear the old college cheers. but he still parts his hair in the middle and looks the part of an under graduate. He was a great football player as we'll as star pitcher in college. He now is the greatest right handed iron man" in baseball and entitled to rank with such fam ous old time stars as Joe McGinnity. Colby Jack Combs and Big Ed Walsh.
 Finishes Series Himself
 AllST SildI ll6 l4lc pitSAAA6 biS act" with his teammate and co-star, Robert Moses Grove, most of the way, Earnshaw wound up in blaze of pitching glory by hurling Is of the last IS innings for the As. Earn shaw broke up what was expected to be a repetition of the fifth game "act' with Grove by sticking till the last man was out, even though it was a struggle, while Grove contin- ued to make gestures in the bull pen.
 Earnshaw, altogether. pitched cS innings against the Cardinals in three games, beat them twice and held them scoreless for the first sev- en innings of the game. which Grove finished in St. Louis and re- ceived official credit for winning. The "big moose" of the As held his rivals scoreless for 22 innings in a row, which in a day and age featured by the so-called jack rab- bit" ball, stands comparison with the remarkable record of Christy Mathewson in pitching 27 successive shutout innings against the Athletics in 1905.
 Betters Mathewson's Mark
 Mathewson allowed 14 hits in the three shutout games he pitched against the Mackmen of 25 years ago. Earnshaw gave out only 13 hits and two runs in the 25 innings he worked against the Red Birds.
 Grove, who scored two victories against one defeat, pitched a total of 1s innings. during which time the Cardinals collected 14 hits and five runs. Only three of these runs, however, were earned, the other two being due to an error by Dykes.
 Simmons and Foxx Star
 Al Simmons was the most consist ent of the Athletics at bat, hitting safely in five of the six games as he lived up to the best traditions of the leagues batting king, leading the regulars of both teams with the stick. Simmons had the long range support, however, at various times lloiii SoSiid dllCy anu OAA, dS "tll as Dykes and Miller, who staged hitting comebacks in the final game.
 Foxx struck the most potent and important single blow, when he fired his home run into the St. Louis stands in the ninth inning to de- eide the critical fifth game.
 Colbert Best For Cards
 For the Cardinals, g year old Charley Gelbert. appearing in his first world series, was a sensation at bat as we'll as in the field, reaching spectacular heights in the two vic tories scored by the Red Birds to even the series at St. Louis. He led the Cardinal regulars at bat and handled 2S chances without a slip up in six games. making a number of sensational plays on ground balls.
