En- Route to Philadelphia From st.
louis. Oct. 7.-P-The Athletics OF
.philadelphia and Cardinals OF st.
| Louis today we're well on their way
back to Philadelphia to resume their
worlds series battle tomorrow on the
american League grounds. +
/ Both teams had reason to be salts
fed with their three-day stay IN Ma
ional League territory. The Cardi-
halls won two games to get them back
IN the series, while the Athletics cap
cured the final clash in Missouri In
1 thrilling battle of pitchers and
started home q game ahead and only
.one decision away from anotner
worlds championship.
The Cardinals task is the harder.
The Athletics have to win only n
more to repeat their 1929 triumph
and win the supreme praise OF Connie
Mack as a great team" The Cardi-
mails must win two straight.
No Mackian Forecast
Manager Mack today made no FORE
cast of the ultimate end Of the series
except to say that he had faith In his
I, ''boys."
"That was a great game closing
our stay in st. Louis" said the vet
lseran manager, "a game OF superb
pitching, and certainly it must have
been q very interesting n to watch.
even though the result, of course. did
mot please our st. Louis friends"
The "Gabby" general Of the Car
ldinals. the weather beaten Charles
4 Street. as always, was optimistic to-
day.
(. 1--WE can win two straight from the
Athletics he said, land this we VIII
do. We have done it already IN this
series and we can do 1t again. OF
that I am positive"
The final game in st. Louis. won
2 to 0 by the Athletics In the ninth
inning when Jimmy Foxx drove q
home run high and far into the LETT
field bleacher seats among q group
Of disguised customers, was q grip
ping struggle.
For seven innings the 3~7-year-old
Burleigh Grimes and George Earnshaw
Z; battled on even, scoreless terms. The
day was dark, with a low ceiling and
rain threatening throughout. and al
in all it was q pitchers day II ever
there was a worlds series stage set
with scenery made to order Tor the
sharpshooters on the mound.
Burleigh threw his famous spit
ters," mixing enough fast balls and
curves with them to prevent the AS
getting "set," while Earnshaw had q
fast one, q curve, and a half speed
ball that baffled the opposition by
throwing the batsmen off their stride.
In the eighth inning Earnshaw
moved out Of the picture to make
a for a pinch hitter. The honors
were even with his rival, for each had
allowed two hits In seven chukkers.
The pinch hitter got on but IN spite
of the partial uccess Of the Mackian
strategy. Grimes pitched himself out
of this hole.
Grove Gets Credit
Lefty Grove, the speed ball king Of
the AS. came in to succeed Earnshaw
and as he held the Cardinals runless
during the eighth and ninth inning
and as the pitcher Of record when
Foxx hit for the circuit, he was cred
tied With the victory. This was com-
~pensation for q game he saved for
Earnshaw In the last worlds series
when the big highlander under the
scoring rules vas credited with the
victory.
Not since the third game Of the
1909 series between the New York
Giants and New York Yankees, when
Arthur Nehf blanked the Yankees /
to 0, has q game been played in the
classic with SO little scoring. Oddly
enough that game, too, was decided
by q home run, q p~rodigious clout
from the bat Of Casey Stengel break
ing it up.
Each Of the three pitchers took full
advantage Of the poor visibility and
in the pinches bore down with their
high hard ones.
In the sixth game Of the series at
shibe park tomorrow wild Bill"
Hallahan will pitch for the Cardinals
and Earnshaw or Grove, or both, will
do q turn for the House Of Mack.
Hallahan held the American League
champions to seven hits and no runs
at st. Louis Saturday and his mates
counted on his sturdy left arm to
draw them level again.
Manager Mack gave no suggestion,
as usual, Of his pitching nomination
but no one thought it would be any
other than one of the two aces, the
lefthanded Grove or the r~ighthanded
Earnshaw.
