INITIAL TRIUMPH
HELD IMPORTANT
Collins Says Loss for AS
Would Have Put Them
in Predicament.
BY EDDIE COLLINS,
Cornie Mack's Right-Hsnd Man.

CoELle MACK 5 HlBnt-hano Adahs
~ HILADELPHIA, Pa, october 2.
- Winning the first game is
i most important, say what you
y will.
! In fact, If the tables had been re-
versed. we would really have been in a
worse predicament than st. Louis Is
now, as a defeat for Grove at the onset
would have hurt q lot.
The game was one Of the most inter-
esting, though possibly not as exciting,
as any that I have ever participated in
or witnessed. II the skeptical base pan
public ever needs concrete example
of the power or greatness Of the 1880
Athletics, I don't know Of q game we
played, this year that could answer this
question more satisfactorily.
In every instance where. one OF our
players was called upon to proouce
he was not called upon in vain. Five
different players came through and the
result was five runs.
The only player on our club-and
this is not said to detract any from
the greatness of his performance-who
was not up to par, would say, was
onstrates what tried to bring out in
my previous article-that he is a
pitcher and not merely thrower.
BY this I mean when he did not have
his real stuff as far as his fast ball
and curve are concerned, he more than
made up for what he lacked by his
Judgment. This is what wins ball
games.
The game as played by our club
fully illustrates the fact that our club Is
not a one or two man team. Every play
er, from the lead-od man down to the
pitcher, at some time or other did his
bit that helped to bring us home win
ners.
For this reason it Is hard to single
out any one man who stood out above
any one else on our club. The play
that Joe Boley and George Haas pulled
between them that scored our fourth
run was the old-fashioned squeeze, q
play seldom used in base ball today.
Give Joe Boley full credit for pulling
this clever piece Of work. He is a
master worker in executing his end OF
this kind Of base ball.

Boley-Haas Squeeze Play Brings Back Memory Of

slugging, but they also saw smart field-
ing, heady pitching and their eyes
opened in amazement when they saw
the almost forgotten squeeze" play
executed by Joe Boley, shortstop Of the
AS, for the first time in a world series
game IN at least II years.
Harry Davis. captain of the old AS
Of 1910, rubbed his eyes in amazement
as he contemplated a duplicate of the
500, 600 infield of 1910-14 made famous
1T looked like old times" remarked
Harry. II never thought would see
that again. This team plays like the
old AS, but it has bigger wallop."
1t was as smart as anything have
seen IN years in the world SERIES" added
Joe Bush. 1T was natural, with Boley
at bat and fast man on third, but
1t worked so fast that barely caught
Haas start for the plate out of the
corner OF my eye. Grimes may have
anticipated It, but smart as he Is,
doubt 1t. There wasn't anything he
could do, anyway. Boley laid the bunt
down to perfection.
ITO me, however, Bo1ey's stop Of
Douthit's smash IN the seventh, when
he fell down and still was able to make
the throw for the force-out ct second,
was the greatest play In the game and
the one that decided it.
"Boley Is O great shortstop, but he
never received the credit due him be-
cause he is not so colorful as some other
performers. He is steady in the field
and a good man at bat in the pinch.
In these respects he is a lot like Jack
Barry"
Bush conceded that Grove was not
at his best and nowhere as fast as
usual" But he added:
Bob pitched good game, good
enough to win with the great support
he had, and he may come back in his
next start to NOW the Cardinals down.
Don't forget it was q chilly day and
that perhaps Grove felt some Of the
strain Of starting his first world series
game with every one expecting him to
stand his opponents on their heads
The boys think he has an on day unless
he fans about 10 men,"
The big Four" reasons for consider
ing the AS favorites at the start
Grove, Cochrane, Simmons and Old
Man Strategy, represented by Mack
stood up pretty well, all told, in the
first test They were ready for business
again today at the old stand.

Boley Gives Boss
Greatest Thrill
BY RAYMOND A. HILL.

PHILADELPHIA october From
I the Athletics viewpoint three
things stand out as result OF
the first world series conquest.
l. Connie Mack got his greatest
thrill in so years of base ball.
2. st. Louis will be tougher to
beat than the Chicago CUBS were
last Fall.
3. II Lefty Grove is right, no
team under the sun can beat him.
When Boley came up with Dout-
hits smash in the seventh and
forced Grimes by snap throw from
q sitting position to Bishop, I knew
the turning point had come" said
Connie in his famous tower ofice
at Shibe Park Immediately after
the game.
Had Joe let the ball get through
one cannot tell what the Cardinals
might have done. With two men on
and the top of the batting strength
still to be faced, Grove would have
been in a mighty tough spot. 1t
was my greatest thrill to see Boley
make the play"
Boley himself thinks it one of the
hardest plays he ever made. II
dove after the ball with the crack of
the bat" Joe said. THE ball hit
my glove and stuck. didn't know
whether was In a ball game or an
explosion. Then heard Max
Bishop calling for the ball. Instinct
made me throw 1t to him."

FR|SCH DECLARES
ATHLETICS LUCKY
Sees Cards as Better Team
If Opening Contest Is
Used as Criterion.
BY FRANKIE FRISCH,
Second Baseman, st. Louis Cardinals.

SeCOuu 0abenduB 81 LOUIS OdIulLaLos
NHILADELPHIA, Pa, October a.
- Win, lose or draw, we've got a
better ball club than the Ath-
letics, If yesterdays game is a
comparison. They beat US on runs
scored, and in the final reckoning I
guess that counts, but they had all
the breaks with them.
There was, for example, that line
drive by Mancuso in the fourth inning.
Gus cracked the ball right on the seam,
but it sailed straight to Simmons in
left field. Blades was on base at the
time and Gelbert followed with sin
gle, so that tough break cost US at
least one run right there and prob
ably two.
Artillery Comes Through.
We had hard luck twice in the sew
enth inning. Grimes was on first base
and Douthit shot a ball to Boley's
right. Boley made q diving play on
the ball and forced Grimes at second
base. Then, after Adams singled,
hit a good ball toward right center,
only to see Bishop make leaping
glove catch, Those plays cost US two
or three runs.
What I had heard and read Of the
Athletics punch was borne out. They
had only five hits, but each Of them
was an extra sacker. Simmons, Coch-
rane and Foxx were generally rated as
Connie Mack's heavy artillery and they
certainly came through, two of them
with homers, the other with triple.
We're all peeved over this defeat
not because we have lost the first game
of the series, but for having lost 1t
after hitting the ball so hard and con-
sistently. You can take 1t from me
this feeling Is going to spur us on all
the more In the remaining games.

Series Pick-Ups

BY the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, October Goats,
furs and even blankets were used by
the fans to keep warm during yester-
days world series tilt. Chilly blasts
Swirled in and out of the big park.
Burleigh Grimes had the heavy hit
ters of the AS constantly "in the hole"
with fine control, but he suffered dis
astrous lapses In throwing extra base
balls" at Cochrane, Simmons, Foxx,
Haas and Dykes. 1t was Burleigh's
for Brooklyn In 1920 against Cleveland.
The spitballer won one game and lost
two In that battle.
Bing Miller contributed to the
Superlative defense of the AS with
bare hand, running stop of Frisch's
double down the right field foul line
in the fifth. On similarly hard blows
Haas and Foxx of the AS got triples.
Grimes had the best batting average
yesterday anyway. He hit safely twice
in his three times up.
Sunny Jim Bottomley, rangy first
sacker of the Cardinals. failed to meet
expectations at bat. Jim famed and
fouled out twice.

Simmons missed getting an automo-
bile when he poled his homer in the
fourth. The drive missed by q few

grounds, which promised a sport
model to any ball player hitting it.
Old-time fans who lament the pass
ing Of base running and smartness on
the path, enjoyed the duel of wits in
the first inning between the Cards bat

The st. Louis players left Shibe

hour last night. Their subject was
an old one-the breaks.
"You know. that's funny thing,

five hits of him converted into runs
to give the Athletics the opening
world series game. "It just seems
like the National League teams can't

While the deciding break In the game

which permits hitting with one arm

Colbert, Adams and Mancuso showed
well In their first world series. 1t was
Mancuso's single which started the
Cards on their way to their two runs.
The Cards were not satisfied with
returns. They claimed there had been
dirty work at the cross roads and de-
manded recount.
The Athletics made five hits and five
runs. That is economy for you. The
Macklnen must have Scotch blood.
There were almost as many fans on
the housetops back of the right-feld
