again. From among the pillows
came in muffled tones, "Its-about

But what about him? What's
he done?"
For an instant the room was
tensely silent. At last Norma found

ut. LOUIS, October 10 (E1.-The
grandstand managers blamed
part Of the reason for the Ath-
letics' defeat today on just such
another strategic blunder as they have
called twice before on Connie Mack.
The veteran pilot let George Earn

one out and two men on and his club
trailing by four runs. With chance
to start a rally and get the runs they
needed more than pitching at the mo-
ment Mack failed to send IN hitter
for Earnshaw and the pitcher grounded
into a double play. He did the same
thing in the second game here.

the series, despite his failure to hit IN

ERNEST ORSATTI, who doubles in

screen comedian, failed to double
or even single for any one today when
he substituted for Chick Hafey, batting
champion of the National League, in
the Cardinal left field. In three times
at bat he struck out three times.
Apparently the crowd, that numbered
about half capacity and left bare spots
all over Sportsman's Park, had as much
confidence in Burleigh Grimes come
back to win his second as the betting
commissioners. The faithful indicated
by their absence that they believed the
odds of 2 to l offered that the AS would
win the final game and the series be-
hind Earnshaw's pitching.

OLYMPIC STADIUM, Los Angeles,
October 10.-Orville Mohler, led South
ern California to a smashing victory
over Washington State, SO to s, today.
He scored four of his teams six touch
downs, one after a brilliant 65-yard run.
The Southern California Trojans had
been pulled up short in the shadow of
the goal line in the first period, when
the visitors took the ball on downs on
the 3-yard line. It was different when
Mohler took hand in the second
period.
His first play was a lateral pass to
Gaius Shaver. good for gain of 81
yards to the Washington State 25-yard
line, and then Mohler carried the ball
in successive plays across the goal line.
For the second counter, Mohler ran
Is yards without an opposition finger
being placed upon him. He also scored
twice more, once on a long run and
again on line smash.
Ray Sparkling contributed the third

Navy Gains Through Center.

Navy Gains Through Center.
For a time late in the first period
and early in the second the Midship-
men romped through the center of the
Maryland line repeatedly. but the Old
Liners, once they sensed this partic-
ular bit of Navy attack, combatted II
most successfully. The center of the
Maryland rushline was particularly
effective in the second half when il
checked drive after drive launched by
the Midshipmen and the forwards also
were clever at sitting through to harrass
the Annapolis passers.
Ray Poppelman. fullback, and Woods
quarterback. were quite prominent in
the Maryland attack. When they hit
the Navy line, and they did so often
they hit hard, and between them they
picked up many yards. Paul Herman,
who got into the Old Line backfield
after Bozey Berger was hurt, also did
some flashv playing in the last period
Nays line was aggressive, but II
lacked the power and finesse of the
Maryland forward wall. outside CT
Nays big drive, late in the first and
early in the second periods, it rarely
gave its ball carriers good starts. That
was due mainly, however, to the fierce
charging done by the MarylanderS.
They generally had the jump on the
Midshipmen and were waiting for the
runner coming up to the scrimmage
line
Harvey Tschirgi in the game through
out most Of the first half proved bril-
liant ball carrier for the Midshipmen.
It was Tschirgi who gained more yard
age than any other Navy toter of the
pigskin He was given the ball In
virtually every offensive play the Mid
hit 10 IN, fIn fret tun V1ArindS
and he reeled of several long runs.
But Tschirgi wore quickly and after his
departure Navy had no runner able to
gain consistently.
Chalmers Punting Great Aid.
A great factor in Maryland's favor
was Chalmers fine punting. More often
than not he booted the ball over the
head Of the Navy safety, adding many
yards to his efforts with long rolls.
Only one really poor punt was made by
Chalmers. When standing behind his
own goal he punted across the wind IN
the fourth period. The ball went out
of bounds at Maryland's 20-yard line
to give the Midshipmen fine break,
but they were unable to take advantage
of it.
Campbell did most Of Nays kicking
and though he got of several nice ones
he was far from being CnalmerS.
However, Marylands punt receivers at
times helped Campbell when they
seemed ball-shy. stabbing at the pig
skin feebly to let it bound by.
Each side rolled up ten first downs
and Navy got more yardage than
Maryland by rushing, but this excess
was the result largely of several spec
tacular runs by Tschirgi early in the
fray. The Maryland ball carriers were
much more consistent in their efforts
than Nays. The teams were hit al
most evenly by penalization, Mary
land being set back so yards and
