i Y Athletics retaining base
balls highest title by rea-
son Of their 7-to-1 victory in the
sixth game Of the set yesterday
ut Shibe Park, it must be said Of
the surprising Cardinals that they
were surprising right to the finish.
After having come from behind to
cop the National League banner by
grabbing A Of their last 81 games and
then pulling up to even terms with the
Mackmen following reverses in the tni-
tial two tits of the championship set
aust ended, they were expected to set
off lot of fireworks at Philadelphia to
once again nuIlify the edge the AS
obtained with their win at st. Louis
Monday and set the stage for soaring
struggle this afternoon that would set
Gle the question Of base ball supremacy.
What they did in the finale was TO
absorb the most convincing licking adj
ministered In the set Of six tits, to
leave the National League without
world title since another aggregation
Of Cardinals contrived to nose out the
Yankees in 1925 and increase to Is the
number Of world championships ac-
uuired by the American League since
the classics got under way, back in 1905.
In the IS years the two major circuits
have been contesting for the cash and
honor involved in these Autumnal
meetings the parent loop has contrived
TO prevail on only nine occasions.
Finale q Tame Affair.
BY winning last Saturday and again
Sunday the Cardinals did succeed in
doubling the number of instances regis
tered by representatives Of their loop
IN the three years preceding, but on the
whole their showing failed to alter the
impression that as q league the Ma
tional fails to measure UP to the class
of the American, and the hollow ease
with which the Mackmen smothered
them in the finale yesterday proved q
sad disappointment to the approx
mately $4,000 cash customers, who had
Q feeling as they filed out Of the park
that they hadn't gotten their moneys
worth.
One Of the chief reasons for the Inn
potency Of the Redbirds, Of course, was
the splendid exhibition Of pitching
elrned In by George Earnshaw. Max
ing his third appearance in the series,
che big right-handed ace Of the AS
whitfield half dozen Of the Cardinals
while yielding only five bingles, and
but for the fact that Chick Haley

would have duplicated the shut-out per-
Eormance he turned in for seven rounds
of the last game at st. Louis Monday,
when his left-handed teammate, Bob
Grove, got credit for the triumph over
Grimes that Foxx clinched with
homer after Earnshaw had given way

called that In his IS innings Of pitch
ang he allowed but ID hits and just two
Runs, and "a consecutive innings sepa-
rate those tallies. Furthermore, his
enasterful effort Of yesterday came after
only one day for recuperation, and that
day spent In travelling on . train.
A Run for Every Hit.
Then. to get an adequate idea Of how
the Mackmen can make their bingleS
count, IL need only be recorded that for
the second time in the series they COM
piled as many tallies as they did hits.
In the opener Of the series at Phila-
delphia last week they were limited by
Burleigh Grimes to just five safeties,
but each was for extra bases and also
FOR q marker. Yesterday, too the seven
Safeties they collected OF three Of the
quartet Of twirlers they faced netted
them an equal number Of runs, and
again there wasn't single In the col
1ection.
The answer, Of course, was furnished
By the trio Of sticksmiths who supplied
the bulk Of the AS attack during the
league campaign. In that first game,
Tane and Simmons and Foxx who de-
Hyered the lethal punch, and 1t was
significant that In games Nos. and
their bat music was mumed.
In the fifth game Fox alone was
able to perform at his wonted pace, but
his one hercuiean hit proved sufficient,
and yesterday the triumvirate got back
into its stride, and with some assist
ance from Jimmy Dykes and Bing MIL
Ter rudely ended Gabby Streets dream
of O world championship In his flrst
season as q big league pilot.

triple by Cochrane following a pass TO
Dykes and the FIRST Of Bing Miller's two
doubles after Foxx walked gave the AS
all they needed in the way Of tallies to
cop the contest and the series.
1t was at the expense OF Bill Halla-
han who hurled the Cards to their first
series win in shut-out fashion last Sat-
urday, that these two runs were earned.
The little southpaw, who was handi-
capped by o blister on his pitching paw,
was lifted to let Pinch Hitter George
Fisher double futilely for him in the
third, and Sylvester johnson, his sue
cessor, promptly was greeted by Sim
mons with O lusty homer into the upper
aeft-field stand, the second circuit clout
Of the series by Al, who. incidentally,
added the batting leadership Of the set

The sacks were unoccupied when
Simmons emitted his round tripper, but
It was different in the following frame,
when Jimmy Dykes emulated his ex-
ample. for Bishop had preceded him
It was in the fifth that Foxx decided
10 get back into the smuggling picture,
which he did with q soaring double to
center, that paved the way for tally
when Miller and Haas followed with
sacrifices, the 1atter's OF the aerial
variety.

johnson then was withdrawn to let
nay Blades fan for him, and Jim Lind
eey came on the scene, to be promptly
nicked for the seventh and final Mack
man marker, due to another walk by
Bishop, Dykes healthy double and
Cochrene's long ny.

rest. for the Cardinals meanwhile were
getting nowhere In q hurry with the
