DALLAS, Oct. 7-tPI-There had
been a tendency to alow-rate" the
Baylor Bears before their tussle
with Purdue Saturday. but Coach
Jennings machine will have a hard
time sneaking up on any Southwest
conference foe now. The battle put
up by the Bruins was, without doubt,
al outstanding feature OF the mid
west invasion.
Southern Methodist did little more
than its followers anticipated In
holding Notre Dame to a single
touchdown margin. but Purdue had
been rated a top-heavy favorite over
the Bears. The fact that the Bap-
fists fought the Boilermakers on al
most even terms all the way and
lost only because their secondary
failed to bat down a couple OF passes
will not be overlooked by conference
rivals.
On the strength Of their form to
date. the leading contenders might
be ranked. l. Southern Methodist.
2 Texas Christian, 3. Baylor. The
Bears, thus, are moved a notch
above the University of Texas Long
horns, who yet have failed to show
anything like championship class.
Baylor Steps Out

contender when, and IL, IL ever

EN- ROUTE TO PHILADELPHIA
FROM ST. LOUIS. Oct. 7-P)-
The Athletics Of Philadelphia and
Cardinals Of st. Louis today were
well on their way back to Phila-
delphia TO resume their Worlds
Series battle tomorrow on the
American league grounds.
Both teams had reason to be
satisfied, with their three day stay
in National league territory. The
Cardinals won two games TO get
them back In the series. while the
Athletics captured the final clash
in Missouri IN a thrilling tattle of
pitchers and started home a game
ahead and only one decision away
from another worlds champion
ship.
The Cardinals left Philadelphia
last Thursday night two games
behind the Athletics and the. re-
turn only one in arrears. but still
their task Is the harder. In a golf
match the holes eventually run
out and this is all in favor Of the
player ahead. The Athletics have
to win only one more to repeat
their 1929 triumph and win the
supreme praise OF Connie Mack as
a great team" The Cardinals must
win two straight.

Fine Hurting
Burleigh threw his famous spit

had a fast one. a curve, and a half

ton by throwing the batsmen off
their stride.

Lefty Grove. the speed tall king

Earnshaw and as he held the
Cardinals runless during the eighth
and ninth innings and as the pitcher
OF record when Foxx hit for the
circuit. he was credited with the
victory. This was compensation for
a game he saved for Earnshaw In
the last worlds series when the
big right-hander under the scoring
rules was credited with the victory.
