TALKING IT OVER
by JOE WILLIAMS

PHILADELPHIA Oct. 5.-That
4 ninth-inning mix-up in the
second game of the world series still
has the boys up to their ears in ex-
cited controversy. About all that
anybody is willing to agree on is
that it was pretty lucky for Jimmy
Wilson, the Cardinals catcher. that
Max Bishop didn't slam one into
the stands at that precise moment.
You remember. of course. the details of
the play. Leading by two runs. Wild Willie
Hallahan passed two men in the ninth be-
tween outs. Then Connie Mack sent up
a pinch-hitter named Jim Moore. ana
this gentleman proceeded to set the stage
for one of the strangest climaxes ever
seen on anv ball field.
With two strikes on him he took a
swing at curve ball that was so low it
bounded into the dirt before reaching the
catcher's glove. In such circumstances 1t
is necessary to touch the batter out or
throw to first. But Mr.. Wilson did neither.
He threw to third to head off double x
Foxx who at the moment was storming
up the base line to third.
Just why Mr.. Wilson did this probably

I have been through these world
series and there are times when a
player can not help having his
doubts about winning. This usually
happens when you fall behind the
other team in the first two or three
games You know, I was in one
series when we did not win a game.
These Cardinals lost their first two
games in 1923 to the Yankees and in
1880 to the Mackmen.
Best Chance Since 1926
Under such conditions a club will
keep up brave front and tell what
is going to be done, and also hope
to do it. But no ball player can be-
lieve that it is easy to win four out
OF five games, as is necessary to
take a series, if a team drops the
first two.
The Cardinals of 1926 broke even
in the first two games with the
Yankees, and they won that series.
Here are the 1881 Cards, also with
an even break to spur them on.
1t is so different from their status
after the first two games of the
1928 and 1880 series that the entire
morale spells confidence. They fig
ure they can do to the AS this year
what Hornsby's Cardinals did to the
1925 Yankees. And I believe this
Cardinal team has a better chance
to win than any National League
team has had since 1926.
The next three days, however. are
likely to be tough ones for THE Car
dinals. The AS will be playing at
home, and that gives them a ire
mendous advantage. Not that base
ball is played differently at home
than when a team is away from
home. But you will find that most
great clubs are even more effective
on their own field, even though
they will win majority of their
games while away.
AS Tough at Home

lean League teams have found the

Mickey Cochrane, Mule Haas and
Max Bishop have a habit of hitting

tune times.
The AS seldom lose a series at
home. have not seen the exact
figures, but I doubt if they have
dropped more than four or five
series all season on their home
field, and it wouldn't surprise me
If the figure is still lower.
l will be greatly surprised if the
Cardinals should take two of the
three games they must play up to
Wednesday. The Yankees have
been able to give the AS a lot of
trouble in league play during the
three pennant years of Mack's team.
But we found them very difficult at
Phllly, and we had to take some of
our worst beatings there.
1 regard the AS as a better ball
club at Shibe park than they were
IN st. Louis or than they are in any
other American League park during
the regular playing season. If the
