Mack Maintained Silence Close mouthed to the last, Connie “Mack crossed 99 per cent of the crowd when he sent Ehmke out to pitch the P opening game. The vetcran mentor Hof the A’s had announced he would keep the identity of his starting pitch- ) er a deep, dark secret until the last minute. It was more than a secret, it @ mystery. Ehmke had pitched only two com- games during the season and | his innings of work in the champion- fj) ship campaign totaled only 55. He ‘was not even asked to accompany the ) team on its last invasion of the west. * Now that it can be told, it is learned . that there was method in his abzence. |) The Phillies, it seems, were enter- staining the Cubs about that time and while his playmates were away from home, Ehmke was watching the Cubs in action at Baker Bowl. Charlie Root, the losing pitcher, '! left the game to make room for a hit- » less pinch hitter with only one run » and three hits scored against him in } seven innings, the lone counter being © a towering drive into the center field F) Bleachers from the bat of Jimmy ‘Foxx. | _ In contrast to Ehmke’ | lizing side arm curve: half a dozen fast slow, tanta- less than is mixed in for the sake of variety, Root depended on Guy | @ fast ball and a fast curve. Bush, the other Cub pitcher. allowed | sthree hits and two<uns, but the runs ‘were not earned, being made possible by two successive errors by Elwood English, Chicago shortstop. Exactly 50,740 spectators paid to see ‘Ehmke stop Rogers Hornsby and Hack Wilson in their tracks, neither of the Cub sluggers getting to base. Wilson the best bid, crashing a line ive into Ehmke's side in the ninth ith such force that it knocked the gpitcher to the ground and produced | ) Yan ugly bruise. Ehmke, however, took » ‘only a short count and was strong at “the closing bell. He capped his per- jformance by fanning Charlie Tolson _ {for the last out with the tieing run on base.

Ran Wrong Way Riegels, it will be recalled, snatched up a fumble by Thomason of Georgia Tech and, completely turned around in his directions, ran almost to h | own goal line before his teammat could flag him down. Under the new rule, the ball would have been dead at the spot where Riegels recovered it. Calderwood, ® Northwestern half- back, grabbed the ball when it was dropped by Westphal of Minnesota and outraced the whole Gopher team. His touchdown, which was_ instru. mental in winning the game. 10-9, robbed Dr. Spears’ eleven of a golden chance at the title. However, had Thomason or West- phal recovered the -ball either could have continued to run with it. That hurled in a world series. | On the eve of the first game Mack | had given considerable thought to u ing the veteran Jack Quinn. one of | the few surviving spitballers in; the majors.
