 Tightens Until Seventh Derringer frightened up for the next three frames and though he was nicked for two singles in the fourth and one each in the fifth and sixth. was not scored on.
 Haas opened the seventh with a grounder to short and was thrown out by Gelbert. Cochrane singled to right. Simmons blasted the pill into the left field bleachers for the first homerun of the series, scoring Cochrane ahead of him.
 Syl' Johnson, righthander, pitched the eighth and ninth, after Derringer had been taken out in the seventh for a pinch hitter. He held the Athletics hitless and scorelesS, not man reaching first on him.
 Hit Grove Freely
 The Cardinals hit Grove freely but not when it counted after the first frame. Fast fielding cut down possible hits that might have spell ed trouble for him.
 In the sixth inning, after Hafey and Martin had singled and stole third and second, Simmons saved two scores by a great catch of Wilson's fly to left field. Williams, at short, starred with two great stops which cut off hits. 4
 In the seventh inning, with two away, Roettger and Frisch singled, the former going to third on Frisch's hit, but Grove forced Bot tomley to hit to second for the third out.
 Two pinch hitters railed Manager Street in the final canto. Gelbert, started that inning with a two. bagger to center. Blades was sent in to bat for Johnson. It was an unfortunate selection as Grove fam ned him. Muncuso was sent in to hit for High and fouled out to Dykes near third. Roettgers fly was gathered in by Haas in center.
 Perfect Weather Prevails
 The series got under way under ideal conditions. It was g perfect Indian summers day with the sky slightly overcast and temperature nearly 80 degrees. Fans began to gather at the park before daybreak, and long lines had formed and were waiting for the gate to open, long before the hour set.
