Of the world series arena today
on their home grounds and hand
ed the world champion Athletics
an effective shutout wallop, 5 to O.
behind the brilliant southpaU
box-f1ghting of Bill Hallahan.
Hallahan started out as wild
Bill" but finished up as Sweet
William subduing the heavy
SluggerS of the AS, while his team
mates came to life before a roar
ing home town crowd of 36,944
fans, accorded the southpaw
brilliant support and pounded
three opposing pitchers-George
(Swede) Walberg, Texas Bill
Shores and old Jack Quinn.
The Cardinals staged a spectacular
comeback with Jimmy Wilson behind
the bat for the first time and added
fresh impetus to an attack that drove
Walberg out of the box in the fifth and
Shores in the seventh.
Taylor Douthit's home rNn off Wal
berg in the fourth inning, the first hit
of the big southpaw of the AS, started
the Cardinal scoring. Profiting from
the example of their rivals in the first
two games the Red Birds made their
blows count for the first time in the
series and romped of to decisive VIC
tory by punching their 10 safe hits.
Cards Look Different.
With Hallahan holding the AS to
seven scattered blows and pitching air.
tight ball in the pincheS, despite &C.
casional streaks of wildness, the Cardi-
mails appeared different ball club as
they scored their first victory in three
starts against the champions of the
world as well as the American League.
1t was the first shutout recorded in
the world series since big Jess Haines,
the Yankees in the third game of the
1926 series in this park.
Haines, the hero of that triumph
of four years ago, when the Cards
eventually emerged the winners in q
seven-game series, Is slated to pitch
the fourth game tomorrow for the Red
Birds, confident now of squaring the
count and going on to win in spite
Of the heavy odds against them.
The Athletics, still very much in
command with 2-l margin on games,
will rely on the southpaw craft of
Robert Moses Lefty Grove to score
their third victory and bring the forces
of Connie Mack one step nearer their
goal of a second successive world
Championship.
Anniversary for Haines.
Tomorrow, October S, will be exactly
the fourth anniversary of Haines' bril-
liant victory over the Yankees and the
Cardinals are counting upon making
It a celebration, backed by the en-
thusiastic support of a crowd even
greater than the one cheering them on
today. The official attendance today of
nearly $1,000, with gate receipts OF
s160.267, did not represent the capacity
Of SportSman's Park.
Today's game reversed the series
tables with considerable apruptness, as
the Cardinals put themselves back in
the running. Where they had previ-
ously wasted such fire as they aimed
at Grove and Earnshaw in the first
two games the Red Birds chose their
home roost and the familiar back
ground of white shirts in the bleachers
to make all 10 of their blows count
in the scoring.
The Mackmen, who previously had
converted a mere dozen hits into IL
runs, were absolutely helpless this aft
ernoon when men were on bases. The
AS had only z men left on bases in
the first two games, but no less than
IL were stranded today as Al Sim
mons, Jimmy Dykes and Jimmy Foxx
and Bing Miller, hitherto the big four
on the attack, failed to do thing
with Hallahan when safe blow meant
q run.
AS Blows Are Scattered.
Max Bishop, with three hits and Al
Simmons, with two. poled out the big
majority of blows made off Hallahan,
but they were scattered and did no
damage. Simmons. the big cleanup
man. Offset his batting mark of 500
for the afternoon by striking out in
the first inning with two men on bases
and hitting into a double play in a
similar situation in the third.
Hallahan, on singles by Bishop and
Foxx and a pass to Cochrane, filled
the bases in the very first inning but
punctuated his performance with three
strikeouts After tanning Dykes and
Simmons, the Cardinals southpaw
blazed over three straight strikes on
Miller for the third out with the sacks
densely populated by Mackmen.
This was the best opportunity the
AS wasted, although they had runners
as far as second base in the third,
sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth in
nings. Foxx and Miller skied out after
Simmons double in the sixth, Dykes
grounded out weakly with two on in
The seventh. Foxx and Miller again
failed to advance Simmons more than
a base in the eighth, after Al had sin
gled. and DYKE struck out as the last
man UP In the ninth. after Jim Moore,
Texas recruit and pinch hitter had
singled and Bishop had walked.
Shores. highlander Of the AS,
making his. first appearance, got by the
sixth without damage, but was met by
a fresh barrage in the seventh and was
relieved by old Jack Quinn after sue
cessiEe singles by Hafey. Watkins and
Wilson showed over two more runs.
Haas Poor Play Costly.
A poor play by Haas in attempting
a long shot throw to cut of Blades at
third on Watkins hit, enabled the
latter to 60 to second unmolested and
tally with Blades when Wilson came
through with a clean single.
The 45-year-old Quinn, appearing in
his third world series in 10 years,
stopped scoring in the seventh, but
successive doubles by Bottomley and
Hafey. marking the end of the pro-
longed batting slump OF these two
sluggers, accounted for the nth and
last Cardinal run.
Before the game reports were circu-
lated that the big first baseman, Bot
tomley. would be replaced at first- by
Ernest Orsatti. but the latter appee"e7
