champions have undergone for the past three years, Wild Bill" bely- ing his nickname with the coolness of a veteran, shut out the Mackmen with seven scattered hits, beat them to 0, and so disconcerted them that they wound up by scoring only one run in 30 consecutive innings.
 When the Athletics resumed SCOT with crash and bang. The crash was the impact of Jimmy Foxx's big black bat against the ball and the bang was the collision between the ball and a hastily vacated left field bleacher seat.
 That home run of Jimmys, SCOT ing Mickey Cochrane ahead of him, punctuatcd as pretty pitching duel as a world series crowd has looked upon for many an October day. Un- til Foxx intruded the lethal wallop, Burleigh Grimes had been splashing his spitball past the As until he had them yelling for life preservers. For the opposing camp, George Earn shaw and Lefty Grove had been standing the Cardinals on their crests. The left field scoreboard showed more zeros than school boys report card until the As went to bat in the ninth inning yester- | day.
 Grimes Calls Cochrane Big Ears
 Mickey Cochrane, who had been engaging Burleigh Grimes in a yer bal duel throughout the series, led off for the Athletics in that session
 Hello. Big Ears" Grimes greeted the Philadelphia catcher. Better i fasten back those shutters or I'll dust em for you,'
 Well, what with one witty saying and another, Grimes neglected tc get enough balls over the plate, anG raucuous razzberries in the direction of the pitchers box

Witt it went the ball game.
 The Athletics were a happy To when they reached their dressin, room. They were somewhat goofy in fact. They even broke out int, college cheers, huddled together somewhat to this effect:
 They can't beat the As. the, can't beat the A, they cant bea the As"
 After which, with three raps an, a tiger for MT. McGillicuddy, the scrambled into their plus fours an, entrained for home, singing some thing about dying for dear old Phil adelpha.
 But for the Cardinals. this is grim, business like affair with tn long end of world series spells a stake, if nothing else. There is difference of s1,92s between tn winners and losers individua shares That figure alone is enoug to make the veterans on the s Louis team fighting mad, as it wa in 1928 that they were walloped i four straight games by the Ne' York Yankees.
 The Cards of 1930 have averte immediate predecessors. After los ing the first two games, they Tough back 10 outplay the America League champions and even tn present series. And in yesterday game, there was only the difference of that ninth inning homer of Jim my FoxX's between the two teams,
