The Cards won this year over
the Giants by 13 games, and a

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 1.-Anyont
who has read and believed the
reports that the Philadelphia
Athletics entered today's opening
world series with the st. Louis
Cardinals in an overconfident
fashion is mistaken. We're in
our best fighting mood. Connie
Mack has seen to this.
When we scored one run in 18
innings against the Yanks and
Phils critics and fans were quick
to claim we were taking the
world series games with the Car
dinals too lightly, that we were
holding the team we had
trounced last year too cheaply
and therefore this mental atti-
tude would reflect on our game
and give the Cardinals a psyche
logical edge.
Something Lacking
Maybe we didn't look at our
best in the last two games. There
was something lacking in our at
tack.
Connie Mack sensed the indif-
ference in our playing. particu-
larly in the charity game with
the Phillies. It was our last
game before meeting the Cards
and Mack had hoped we could
be aroused to the keen mental
edge so desirous on the eve Of
championship contests. He was
disappointed in us and the next
morning-at a special meeting in
the clubhouSe-told us without
mincing words.
I've listened to number of
dressing room talks by football
coaches, and I've heard the best
of political orators endeavor to
arouse the feelings of a crowd
before election, but not one can
equal Connie Mack as a straight
from-the-shoulder speaker.
Needed Talk
He hits straight on, and though
he refrains from ever mention
ing an individual players name
al 1lS CdlkS, GQCTe can DG no
doubt as to the man he's refer
ring to.
This talk was what we
needed. 1t killed any over
confidence which may have
been brewing in the AS camp.
He didn't threaten disaster,
but he showed us how strong
the Cardinals really are and
how we must give all we have
to hold our world champion.
ship laurels.
We had another meeting this
morning at our hotel. Connie
Mack was the only speaker.
What a talk he gave. When he
finished there wasn't a man not
IN the mental pink" We could
hardly wait until it was time to
depart for Sportsmans Park. In
other words, we are primed and
rarin' to go.

Where Are the Facts?

Yea, there is a strong under.
current of Cardinal partisan
ship around here, but few facts
to back it up, and besides, what
would you expect in st. Louis?
Some folks are afraid to pick
the AS again because they all
know the AS can't go on for
ever and that somewhere, some
time, somebody will knock them
off. and a lot Of the wagS are
guessing that this will be the
year that very thing happens.
There is a mysterious alb
Sence Of facts to back up such
a guess, and as far as we can
observe, the main impetus be-
hind the selection Of the Cards
to win the pennant by so many
master minds is the wish that
so often fathers a thought.
The pack is always after the
leader, you know, and the Ath-
letics have been baseball lead
ers for three years now.
We grant the Cardinals are
q stronger team than they
were last season, when the
Good Lord only knows what
would have happened if Sunny
Jim Bottomley had been hit
ting and had not Pitcher Bur-
leigh Grimes not veritably
talked himself out Of a game
on his own home grounds.
Yet we must grant that the AS
are no weaker than they we're
a year ago when they won
handily and with something to
spare in six games.

NICK ALTROCK
SAYS

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 1.-Well, folks,
We are practically on the eve Of
another world series and you
baseball fans are naturally in
terested in how the participants
shape up. First of all I will re-
port on my own condition.
While the other athletes and
experts may be in the pink, I am
in the red. Last night we had a
crap shooting tournament and
Uncle Nick almost threw his
salary wing out trying to shake
an eight. This leaevs me little
lame for my exporting. I may
have to use a stenographer for
the first couple Of games, so if
you see Dictated, but not read"
at the bottom of my stuff, you
will know my arm is no better.
Hope Connie Is Wrong
The st. Louis beer is the finest
IN the country, but fortunately
I am south-paw in this depart
ment Of the game and I will not
have to hire a nurse to pour me
nourishment. My elbow is still
bending in mid-season form.
There is also a rumOr, got
out by the bears, that Connie
Mack only intends to use
Grove and Earnshaw in the
series. That means Connie ex-
poets the series to only last
four games. The Shibe broth
ers hope Connie is wrong.
OF course it is possible for the
AS to get through the series just
using two pitchers. It is also pos
sible for Marlene Dietrich to get
through a picture without even
showing her ankles-but you've
never seen it done yet. The only
reason Connie would have for
just using pair of FINGERS is so
they can use the AS bullpen to
put up extra seats. There's some
strategy in that, at that.
1t also seems to be the experts
opinion that the Cards will have
a slight edge in the first two
games because they'll be using
the National League ball. I don't
know ABOUT that. When the Card
pitchers get Simmons, Foxx, and
Cochrane in front of them, they'll
wish they were pitching the new
golf ball or else shooting peas.

Which is by way Of saying that
Comics theory is that to-day is
today, there amt no tomorrow,
so shoot the works today" a
theory put into practice with
remarkable success.
The leader of the Athletics,
who sends his hirelings into bat
tie with the Cardinals this after
noon for the top honors of ball
dom, never gives a thought to
tomorrow. It is always today
with Connie. The only game
that he accords consideration is
today's game.
"If you win tOday'S game"
asserted Connie, "yOu simply
can't ever lose a ball game,
because it always happens that
tomorrow becomes the today Of
baseball"
"Who would pitch tomorrow"
Well, sir, Connie never gave to-
morrow a thought. To win to-
day, that was all that mattered.
It is the guess Of many that he
will open up with Grove, but the
likelihood is that he will not.
Grove is the best relief bloke on
= staff, the best emergency man
in either league. If he starts
Grove and Lefty wanders into
difficulties, he hasn't anyone Of
rove's heroic caliber to send into
action.
But should he send Earnshaw,
and that is what he probably
will do, and George is treated
with disrespect by the Cards,
then Connie can call on Grove
and the Athletics, instead of be-
ing weakened defensively by the
coming Of a relief pitcher, will
be strengthened. Should Grove
also serve horse leather to the
fancy of the st. Louis mace
mob, there1l be a veteran Hoyt,
the steady Walberg and the bril-
liant Mahaffey in the immediate
offing.
Cholly Street, the rival pilot.

my choice" He perhaps will
hold Burleigh Grimes in reserve
for rescue work if the AS take
too many liberties with Derringer.
