MACKS, IN FRONT,
HEAD FOR ST.LOUIS
Intent on CinChing Worlds
Baseball Crown in
Rapid Fire Time.
BY FRANK GETTY
United Press Sports Editor

EN- ROUTE TO ST. LOUIS, Oct
3.-Having won the first two games
of the 1880 world series with as a
fine economy of hitting as any Oc-
tober classic ever has known, the
Philadelphia Athletics we're travel
ing to st. Louis today, bent upon
polishing of the Cardinals in short
order.
The st. Louis club, smarting I'M
der two straight defeats, also was
headed westward with far different
intentions.
Winning Thursdays game to l
behind the brilliant fast ball pitch
ing of big George Earnshaw, the
Mackmen took lead over their Ma
tional league rivals which virtually
assured them of the worlds cham
pionship again.
Once more, it was extra base hit
ting which won for Philadelphia,
Dykes, Cocllrane, Simmons and FoxX
driving out the telling blows in the
early innings off the delivery of
Flint Rhem.
The Macks Waste One!
Thus far in the 1880 series the
Athletics have made but twelve hits,
and have made them count for
eleven runs.
In the opening game, which they
won S to 2, the Athletics made each
hit count for a run. Thursday they
appeared to be slipping and scored
only six times on seven safeties OF
Rhern.
Given the fair sort of pitching
which Lefty Grove turned in on the
opening day. and the brilliant per-
formance of Big George Earnshaw,
Thursday, the Athletics have looked
mighty good without having to exert
themselves to the limit.
Earnshaw Is Big Star
One smashing wallop, one run,
tighten UP the defense and away
to victory has been the highly sue
cessful system of the American
League representatives this October.
When the 1880 series finally is
analysed it will appear that Earn
shaw, on his performance Thursday,
must be given a prominent niche in
any post-season hall Of fame, for
the big Highlander hurled mag
nificent game.
George Watkins, who plays for
st. Louis when right-hander is
working for the opposition. drove
out a home run to score st. Louis
lone run Thursday in the second
inning.
