Fans who saw Pop Warner's 1929 eleven. win from the Olympic Club team, 6 to 0, witnessed a freak bit of tackling by Herb Fleishhacker, giant Stanford halfback. The Cardinal husky made a desperate dive over the sprawling fori of an interference runner to bring down Morton Kaer, former All-America halfback on the Olympic Club team after he had received a punt. disgruntled Cardinal is shown on the ground at the right where the tricky Kacr eluded him. phia in 15 years brought out the old guard, back from the yesterdays of baseball, to see the modern version of the Athletics, in the game's acid test. The Mordecai Johnny Klings, Jimmy Archers, Joe Tinkers, and the rest looked at the Cubs in Chicago and shook their heads. In Philadelphia the Chief Benders, Home Run Bakers, Harry Davises and others will see how the young fellows have taken up the baseball torch they dropped when forced from the stage by the relentless years. Weather forecasts for today said nothing about rain in the neighbor- hood. The probable lineup for the third game: Athietics— Bishop, 2b Haas, cf Cochrane, c Simmons, If Foxx, 1b Miller, rf Dykes, 3b Boley, ss Cubs— McMillan, 3b Cuyler, rf Grimm, 1b Taylor, c Blake, p Moran at + Van Graflan (American), at (National), at second; Dinneen (American), at third. ‘Bettors Favor | Athletics Again | Philadelphia Only 6 to 5 Favor- Evans Believes Cub If Athletics ‘Win Today He Doubts That Nationals Can Win Four Straight FIRST GAME DISASTROUS Former Umpire and Critic Says the Losers Are Stronger Than Fans Think By BILLY EVANS (Tribune Special Service) Philadelphia, Pa., Oct. 11.—With two games on the debit ‘side of the ledger, the Chicago Cubs have their work cut out for them if they are to | remain in the running for the world's | championship.
