LEGION Of FANS
To GREET AS
BY LES CONKLIN

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. s. Re-
sumption of the world series here
Monday was awaited by Philadel-
phia with rekindled interest to-
day as a result of the 2-to-O vic
tory scored by the Cardinals over
the Athletics in the second game
of the series.
After, Philadelphia's easy vic,
tory in the opener, the games to
be played here next week were
regarded as a sort of Roman holi-
day for Connie Mack's toreadors,
with the Cards filling the role of
rather supine bulls. But with
the series tied at one all, the out
look has changed abruptly.
And SO a legion Of fans will
be on hand to give Mack and
his ent0urage welcome and en-
cOuragement when the baseball
special arrives here late to-
day from st. Louis. The root
ers will whOOp it up for the
AS to wind up the series in
Philadelphia by making a clean
sweep of the three games sched.
uled here.
The bleacher line had increased
to a dozen hardy souls this morn
ing and was expected to be aug
mented considerably during the
day. Still leading the endurance
contest was George Calhoun, semi
pro ball player who began his vigil
Tuesday night, almost a week be-
fore the first game here.

NICK ALTROCK
SAYS

EN- ROUTE TO PHILADELr
PHIA, Oct. Swell, folks, wild
William Hallahan sure made the
AS look like rs. You cannot
bludgeon q baseball out Of the
premises when a smart pitcher
keeps 'em thigh-high and Hallahan
was certainly flirting with their
waistlineS all afternoon.
At that, the heroism should be
carved in half and I don't know
whether to give Halahan or Pep
per Martin the white meat. Pep
per, who was supposed to have
housemaid's. knee, only stole two
bases on Cochrane and then oozed
through Mickey's legs for the
Cards second run. If Martin ever
gets two bum knees they should
enter him for the 100-meter dash
in the Olympics.
Well, the next game is Mon
day. That gives Connie Mack
two days to think over his next
pitcher and then pick Grove.
Gabby Street Is liable to come
back with Derringer. The AS ad-
NIT the kid has nerves of steel.
But look at what steel is selling
for today.
Anything can happen now.
Didn't Indy get himself in an
airplane crash? If q miracle
like that can happen. then
Grove can be batted out of the
box, Simmons can be benChed
for q hitting slump and Mickey
COchrane can go through q
game without opening his
mouth.
Uncle Nick likes world series,
but that is no reason why they
should last as long as Eugene
O'Neill'S plays, so I am going to
ask the boys to make it Snappy
and bury the remains in Shibe
Park.
From the way everybody is
hurrying back to Philadelphia
you would think william Penn
was sick. If it should turn out
to be a long series it would be
tough on some of the players
who are writing up the games
for the papers.

"Oh, for another world series.
The Athletics proved to be the
stronger Thursday while only
collecting IL hits to the Cardi-
mails dozen. The AS won on ac-
count Of being able to hit in the
pinches, while the Red Birds
couldn't come through in the
pinches. The star catch Of
the first day was made by AL
Simmons, who ran against the
left wall and Snagged wilson's
fly out of the air. He also hit
a home run with COchrane ON
first.
Pepper Martin was the bat
ting fool Of the Cardinals and
collected one double and two
singles in four attempts. But,
coming to Fridays game, Halla-
han pitched some wonderful
ball. Though a little too wild,
he shut the AS out with three
hits, while the Red Birds col.
lected six. Pepper Martin again
starred for his team with q dOu-

HARD FOUGHT
. SERIES
LOOMS
By BABE RUTH

EN- ROUTE TO PEIILADELr
PHIA, Oct. 3.-When a pitcher
holds a team as helpless as Bill
Hallahan held the AS yesterday
afternoon, there is not much
more to the ball game. The kind
Of ball the Cardinals only left
handler pitched was the answer
for the series being tied up, and
am more than ever convinced
that Gabby Streets team is
going to be tough to tame this
year.
I am still inclined to the belief
that the AS will win.
What I can't understand is
why Hallahan does not win q
lot more games during the regu-
lar season. 1 saw him shutout
the Mackmen with seven hits in
the 1880 series and he was even
more effective this afternoon in
this three-hit performance. I
look to see him come back with
another great performance before
this series is over.
I know how George Earnshaw
feels in losing a game like this
one. I was a pitcher myself
once and pitcher always looks
at his low score games with q
feeling that he got q tough
break in the luck.
In an ordinary game tWo-run
pitching will win nine times out
of ten. Grove won a ball game
Thursday while being tagged for
IL hits and he won it easily.
Here is Earnshaw allowing half
as many hits as the Cardinals
got off Grove and the best he
gets is a shutout.
Hallahan was very wild but he
was able to snap out of these
wild Streaks quickly before any
damage was done. He was in
difficulty in three different in.
nlngs. His gameness was tested
to a high degree and one little
slip in any of three innings
might have opened the door for
a Philadelphia victory.
Make no mistake about this
kid Pepper Martin. Everything
he does seems to stamp him as
the player who cannot miss be-
ing the hero Of the series. He
now has five hits to his credit,
as well as three steals and the
series is only two days old. He
has figured in three of the four
runs which the Cardinals scored
in the first two days and he will
be hard to stop in the coming
games.
I look to see Connie Mack
shoot George Earnshaw at the
Cardinals Monday in the third
game Of the series and let Grove
have another day Of rest before
coming back. Grove is strong
enough to come back in that
short time but the extra day will
help to heal the finger which
was bothering him at the finish
of yesterdays game. They tell
me that Grimes is to start for
the Cardinals but there is too
much time intervening to make
any pitching choice a certainty.
The AS should take two Of
three games at Shibe Park, and
that will bring the series back
here. where the Cardinals will be
tough to beat.

Cards Win Pleases
Broadway Backers;
Odds Shift

NEW YORK, Oct. 3.-Broad-
way hackers of the st. Louis
Cardinals were today gleeful
as the result of Bill Hallahan's
victory in the second game over
the Athletics.
Jack Doyle, Broadway bet
ting comm i S Sioner, set new
prices today on the series. The
odds for Mondays game are 7
to 10 against the Athletics and
II to 10 against the Red birds.
They were even money against
the Cards and to 4 against
the AS yesterday.

with q great performance
upon the part Of Hallahan the
Cards were able to win the sec
Ond game of the series. The AS
because Of their extra-baSe abil-
ity, and their fighting spirit,
proved dangerous until the last
man was out.
"The pitching Of the Cardinals
must be on the same high brand
of HaIIahan'S, If they are to
come through winners. In the
first game, when the hurting Of
the Cards was poor, the AS be-
hind no better hurting, scored
three times Is many runs as
their opponents. Only superior
pitching can defeat the AS.

EN- ROUTE TO PHILADELr
PHIA, Oct. Swell, we had the
pitching yesterday in the second
game of the world series with the
st. Louis Cardinals that we didn't
receive on Thursday, in the
opener, yet, we lost the decision,
20. Where an off-form Grove
won, an alright Earnshaw lost.
The reasons are only two. The
first is Bill Hallahan and the
second is Pepper" Martin, the
wild horse of the Ozark. With
the great playing Of Hallahan
and Martin combine some we'll
planned strategy by Gabby Street
and the concoction is a victory
drink, waited for these many
months by the loyal st. Louis
fans.
Hallahan pitched a great ball
game. His fast ball was as per-
feet as Paul Derringer's sharp
breaking curve was on Thursday
Bill threw his rifle shot every
time he was in trouble and the
speed ball burned past the plate
to carry him out Of danger.
Earnshaw Can Hit
Don't take any credit away
from Hallahan in the fifth and
seventh when it was George
Earnshaw batting with the tying
runs on the base path. George
is one Of the best hitting pitch
ers in the majors today.
Pepper Martin seems to be
even "hOtter" at the plate this
year than Charley Colbert was
last October in the champion
ship series with our club. =
Folks, we've tried to fool the
Cardinals young centerfielder
with everything in the 1ook,
we've given him fast ones inside,
outside, high and low ones and
even slipped one down the mid
die. Curves we've given him over
every corner Of the plate. To
date he doesn't have weakness.
Five hits in two games makes
him the outstanding batter Of the
series. But, we'll get him yet.
Every batter has a weakness. It's
up to us to find Martins. And
find it quickly.
That bunt in the seventh was
a honey. It worked for their
second 4un of the game, but we
nearly nippe> it At that.
The Cardinals deserved to win.
They pleyed heads-up ball. had
splendid pitching, some well exc
cuted plays and they forced the
breaks Of the game. After all,
It's the club that can force the
breaks that usually wins out.
Monday we expect to se2 Bur
leigh Grimes. Connie may call
on Grove or Walberg or Hoyt.

Ruel Sees Series

Muddy" Ruel, whose home
Is here and who practices law
in the off-season, sat with us in
the press box for the first two
games of the series and had
much to say in appreciation
Of his many friendships in
Washington.
There has been a rumor 60
ing around Washington that
Muddy is to go back there in
some capacity or another, and
we asked him if he had heard
It. He has heard the rumor
but knows of no foundation
for it.
He has no idea he was taken
to Detroit from Boston with
any plan of supplanting Harris.
in fact Muddy says Harris is
quite a favorite Of President
Frank Navin's and Ruel expects
to hear any day Bucky has
been given another contract by
the Detroit club president.
Some of the fans got on Harris
for letting Hoyt go. but fans
get on managers at the least
provocation, and besides, fans
don't hire or fire managers
not yet.
Ruel is going to postpone his
law practice this winter until
after his return from Japan,
where he is going on a barn
storming tour with several
other players, including four
members of the Athletics. And
was Ruel glad to get away
from Boston, where he was re-
puted to be camping for the
next crack at managing the
Red Sox-but actually never
had any idea Of it.

WILD WILLIE
MONEY PLAYER

Wild Willie Hallahan, they call
him. and he was indeed Wild Will
lie when he shut out the Athletics
yesterday, in the second game Of
the world series, when he blanked
them last year in the first game
that the Cards won, and when he
applied the whitewash to the
Robins, assuring a pennant for
st. Louis in 1880. For all his wild
ness, it seems that the Cards
always put it up to Willie to get
them out Of trouble.
Although Hallahan has not been
around as long as some of the
other players, he was not long in
winning a place of responsibility.
The Cards were two games down
in the 1880 series with the AS and
in a bad way when they finally
called on Hallahan. He responded
with a Shutout. He was not
honored with the opening assign.
ment this year, but he pitched an.
other Shutout when the time
came.
Through his work last season
and in the present world series,
Hallahan is in a fair way to be
called one Of the games great
money players.
Few people around New York
have seen him in his world series
games, but what he did to the
Robins in 1880 must be still fresh
in the minds of the fans Of
Brooklyn and New York.
The Robins were pressing the
Cardinals when Hallahan made
his start against Dazzy Vance. A
pennant was hanging in the bal
ance and Hallahan submerged
Brooklyn'S bid by shutting out
Vance in a 10-inning game. The
score was / to 0 and Hallahan out
picthed the great Vance on one Of
the latter's finest days.
Hallahan is an unassuming fel-
low, who takes his laurels with
pinch Of salt. He is a typewriter
mechanic and whether he has a
good summer on the diamond or a
poor one he usually reverts to his
type In the winter months.
