ais renewing hostilities at Shibe Park.
There were seven games four years
ago, when the Cardinals defeated the
Yankees for the worlds champion
ship, and there will be seven games
again If st. Louis stops Philadelphia
AS it is, the National Leaguers
have contributed the best perform
ance from their league in the last
three campaigns. In 1877 the Pirates
were stopped by the Yankees In four
straight games and these same Card
had no better luck against the
New York Americans In 1928. Last
year the Chicago Cubs won one and
lost four to the Athletics.
The Cardinals have won two games
which cannot be taken away from
them so win, lose or draw In the e
naming game, or games, they have
done better than the Pirates Of 1927,
the Cardinals Of 1928 or the Cubs Of
1929.
AS the sixth game brought the base
ball battles back across the MISSISSIPPI
pi river there was no indication the
series would continue as anything but
q test Of pitching. This far 1t has
been dominated by the moundsmen,
q pitchers series to q degree unknown
since 1920.
Three Shutouts Decade Ago
Ten years ago when Cleveland and
Brooklyn played, the losing team
made no more than one run in any
game. Three games resulted in shut
outs and a run was scored In each Of
four by the defeated side. Cleveland
won five games to two.
In 1905, when the Giants defeated
the Athletics, four games to every
one contest Was q shutout. In the
five games played In the 1880 series
nc more than two rum have scored
by the vanquished and this only
once. Two shutouts have been scored,
one by each side, and twice one run
represented the losers efforts.
A shutout today would tie the rec
ord Of three shutouts registered In
1921 but then eight games were play
ed.
The Cardinals today were Just
where they were in 1926 when they
left st. Louis trailing the New York
ers two games to three and, moving
into the stadium, won two games in
q row and the worlds championship.
The National League club today
has q chance to draw level with it,
American League opponent late in
the series for the first time since Oct
8, 1926, when the series stood three
games to three.
VIII Start Hallahan
Manager Charles E. Street pinned
his faith on his young lefthander
| William A. Hallahan, who blanket
the Athletics S to o, last Saturday
Hallahan came to the majors from
the Texas League with the nickname
OF wild Bill" but he has not shown
q disposition to be wild In his biz
games. In his first worlds series ap.
reardnce he showed he could taxi
his passes or leave them alone, walk.
ing three In the first inning and ther
striking out three. He walked fiv,
| during the game but he ran hi
strikeout string to six and allowet
| only seven hits.
Earnshaw and Grove both wer,
anxious to work In the importan
game today and Manager Comm,
| Mack'S choice was narrowed to hi
two aces. No one would be greatl,
surprised to see both Of the stars II
action today. and again tomorrow
should the series be prolonged.
Before the start Of the sixth game
many supporters Of the Cardinal
| thought Manager Street might max
q last minute SHIFT either In his line
up or batting order. Jim Bottomley
the big first sacker Of the Red Birdl
has 1ielded brilliantly In the serie
but has made only one safe hit In z
times ct bat. He missed third strike
on his last three appearances ct Be
Monday, and has struck out cish
times in five games.
Orsatti May Plsy

There were other suggestions thu
II Manager Street declined to tax
such q drastic step Is removal Of th
big first sacker from the game, b
might drop him In the batting orde
BY switching Colbert to the clean-u
position.
The Athletics were given . rousiu
