han walked Dykes and Cochrane with
one out and he then forced a grounder
out of Al Simmons that opened the way
for a double play. That was the last
chance they ever looked at through
this ball game that was fought before
packed and cheering stands. The day
was warm and sunny and the populace
showed no sign of encouragement.
They came to the park chanting the
slogan of three straight" and maybe
they know something. But they nave
Grove and Earnshaw to handle n the
next two games and they are not wal
berg and Shores. Today's crowd brought
in much more racket and noise than the
Philadelphia gathering. When Halla-
han famed Miller with the bases full
in the first inning the outburst was ter
rife, It was evident enough right mere
that the fast left-hander was or top
of a big day and that he would be
hard man to hit.
He had his fast one singing through
the sunlit air and his curve ball was
breaking sharply across the corners.
Once in q while he lost his control lot
q moment, but he always cooled on IN
tire the side.
Stages Amazing Comeback.
It was amazing how quickly he came
back to earth and settled down after
his exciting first inning, where ne hao
to pitch his arm of. He must have
needed work, for he was in little danger
after that He spent most of the after
noon putting Athletic runners on the
bases and leaving them there. Bishop
and Simmons were the only two to hit
of the seven hits He had the others
stopped completely. Hallahan is the
first pitcher in the series who has kept
Cochrane, Simmons and Foxx from
planting q hoof on the home plate. He
did not tie them up 100 per cent as
they got on five times through hits and
passes, but they could find no one to
connect with the Cardinals fast ball Tor
scoring punch.
Wild Bill, who also is known as Noon
Hallahan, permitted no scoring punch
all day. He emptied several buckets
fulS Of water into the athletics powder
magazine and there were no explosions
left.
AL Simmons was the only Philadel-
phian to hit for an extra base, and the
best Al could do was a double. Halla-
nan ana WalDeTB were running IeCk
and neck or arm and arm in a keen
duel through the first three innings.
Walberg Makes Mistake.
Walberg retired the first nine men
who faced him. Up to this point he
was outpitching the other southpaw.
The battle looked to be an old-fashioned
pitching duel until the Cardinals came
In for their part OF the fourth. With
Douthit up, Walberg abandoned his fast
ball and sent over floater. The Rube
made a sad mistake. Douthit took an
extra toehold on the bakedout Western
clay and drove the ball across the left
field screen for home run. That was
quite enough with Hallahan rolling the
Athletics back round after round. In
the next inning Blades, Wilson and
Colbert singled In q row. And that
alas, another run.
No chance after this with the Cardi-
nal left-hander getting better and bet
ter and the Cardinal team back on its
toes again, fighting and hustling, far
different bali club from the aggrega-
ton that Earnshaw beat to /. The
big crowd by this time was all steamed
