HOOVER SEES SECOND GAME

Philadelphia, Oct. 2.-H9-Follow-
ing an old American league custom,
the Philadelphia Athletics today were
a game up on their National league
rivals, the st. Louis Cardinals.
The men of Mack jumped out IN
front by capturing the opening con-
test for world baseball supremacy, S
to 2. in a game in which the winners
did not waste a hit. It marked the
sixth consecutive year in which the
American leaguers won the first game
and was their 18th victory in the last
IA games.
The St. Louis safeties were more
numerous than those of the Philadel-
phia batsmen, but the Athletics hits
went farther. The AS were content
with five. two home runs. two triples
and a double. The Cardinals scored
nine, seven singles and two doubles.
Two Left on Base
No game just like the opener has
been off in the Is years OF play Tor
the worlds title. Five hits for five
runs and not a single among them
is a record, or should be. The Ath-
letics had only two men left on bases,
both in the same inning.
Manager Mack, again confused the
experts by doing the obvious and
sending his ace, Robert Moses Lefty
Grove to the mound. Grove was not
as good as he has been In American
league games this season but he had
enough to turn the invaders back
every inning but one-the third
when the two st. Louis runs were
counted.
Behird the lefthanded pitching of
the string bean, Grove, the worlds
champions played as 2 team inspired.
His support rallied to his aid when
danger threatened in two innings
the seventh and eighth.
Burleigh Grimes. pugnacious, lion
hearted pitcher of the Cardinals, who
pitched a worlds series shutout for
Brooklyn 10 years ago, was defeated
but said after the game he was ready
to pitch again today or ANY other
day."
Manager Street. however, an
nounced a determination to adhere
to his original plan Of calling IN
Flint Rhem, to display his pitching
a in the second game, with Syl-
yester johnson, Jess Haines and
others in reserve. The sergeant
placed Crimes application on file ano
may call him in again Sunday after
wild Bill" Hallahan has. had his
fling at st. Louis Saturday.
Unless Manager Mack has some
deep. dark strategy cooking, the Ath-
letics' pitching mantle for the Sec
ond game seemed to be ready to fall
on the Giant George Earnshaw, who
started in two successive games OF
the 1929 series. In some quarters
there was q conviction that the Phil
adelphia pitching staff was made up
of Grove, Grove, Grove, and Grove.
Hoover Sees Second Game
President Hoover saw his second
worlds series game in succession
The president was q spectator at the
closing game Of the 1929 series.
Connie Mack was SO appreciative OF
the services of the chief magistrate Al
a bringer Of good luck to the Ath-
letics, he urged him to remain
throughout the series, but MI. Hoover
had to move on to Cleveland to I'LL 9
speaking engagement.
For the second game Of the series
in anticipation Of q highlander or
the mound for the opposition, Man
ager Street announced that play al
1880 o'clock would find George Wat.
