At the count of ten, Silvers bounced to his feet, apparently un- hurt, and ready to continue. Referee Arthur Donovan waved him to his corner and lifted Leonard’s hand as the winner. Benny, a bit plump around the waistline, showed the effects of his seven-year layoff from the ring. The undefeated lightweight champion ap- peared “stage struck” in the first round and the sudden ending of the bout in the second round made it im- possible to deduce just what chance Leonard has of winning the middle- weight title, the goal on which he says his eyes are fixed. — while Neset of the All Stars was touched for six hits and struck out eight. Sealsh scored in the first inning after Carmichael singled and was brought home on Olson's fly to right field. Carmichael scored again in the third stanza and was brought in by hits by Geil end Fogle. Heihn tallied the winning counter in the seventh on a sacrifice fly. In the eighth stanza Gell of the Miners made two sensational stops of line drives, throwing runners out from deep short with perfect pegs. {POLO GROUNDS FAVORED) Last Year's Classic Netted $400,000; West Pointers Won, 6 to 0 Philadelphia, Oct. 7—(?)—On the great broad shoulders of “Big Jarge” Earnshaw, one of the greatest pitch- ers ever to tread a world series mound, rested the hopes and keen desire of an aged gentleman today for | his third straight championship of the world. The old gentleman was Connie Mack, pilot of the world champion Athletics, and as he sat in his office in Shibe Park Wednesday, pondering VY nis pitching selection for the fifth game of the world series with the St. Louis Cardinals, there was nothing but joy shining out through every wrinkle in his 68 year old face, and thanksgiving in his heart for the magnificent pitching ability of this 30-year-old product of Swarthmore college. “Big Jarge,” stepping into the) breach where the mighty Robert Moses Grove had failed, turned in one of the world series masterpieces | of all time yesterday to riddle the | National League champions with his | fast ball, baffle them with his curves, | humiliate them with his control, and Washington, Oct. 7.—(#)—The echo of clinking dollars for the unemploy- * Jed, stirred by the charging football | Pe teams of Annapolis and West Point, again will be heard this year. ‘The two service teams have agreed to meet, probably Dec. 12, with all re- ceipts going to alleviate distiess of the jobless. Either New York, Phil- adelphia or Chicagé will get the game, with the Gotham Polo grounds hold- ing the most votes now. Army and navy officials, asked for the benefit performance by the Sal- vation Army, agreed to it Tuesday. The Salvation Army sponsored last year’s contest in New York which netted $400,000 for the unemployed and a 6 to 0 victory for Army.

It was do or die day for the mighty Athletics Tuesday. It was a day when the Athletics, thirsting for three straight world championships if only to answer the prayer of a grand old man seeking his last baseball record, suddenly found themselves, the first American champions to trail the National League rulers in five years, struggling on the brink of world series catastro- phe. They talked the situation over among themselves, they listened to Connie's plea, watched the lanky old fellow with the thin esthetic face of a priest tap Earnshaw on the shoulder and say: " “George, you've got to do it for me, Just this one thing.” Tackle Cards Then they went out to tackle the Cardinals in the fourth game of the; series. They came erimly, and the manner 4n which they ripped into Sylvester Johnson, big Cardinal hurler who has been doing splendid relief duty | shi through the past two series, was a picture of the Athletics the baseball world has come to recognize as in- vincible until the Cardinals learned how to take the great Grove apart. Jimmie Foxx hit a tremendous home run. Simmons, Dykes, Bishop and Miller all got the range as the A’s; emerged from their slump. Leading the comeback surge, mag- mificent in his power, was Earnshaw es he turned back all but one of the Cardinals, Martin, while the big gun- mers of Connie's crew, finding the Tange at last. against the pitching of Sergeant Gabby Street's second string- ers, battered out a 3 to 0 victory. Inning after inning, Earnshaw, pitching perhaps the greatest game in world series history, mowed the Car- dinals down to add another two-hit classic to a string of pitching per- formances that knows no equal in ast series history. But there was one fly in his oint- ment, the chunky dogged figure of John “Pepper” Martin, freshman out- fielder who is playing this series for ‘the Cardinals, his first in major! Jeague baseball, as no rookie ever has | before him. As the series wears on the wonder- | ment increases steadily at the fana-| ticism with which this young man, an ordinary hitter during the National | League season, assaults the offerings of every Athletic’s pitcher, even an| Earnshaw on the greatest day of his| career, as well as giving them all a slight attack of “the jitters” by his dey of speed and daring once he is on the en Martin Hits “Pepper” took his cut freely and whole-heartedly and smacked “Big Jarge” for two hits, the entire Card- inal quota. He fanned in the second cheered inning and the alien crowd his every movement, thinking for a while he had been finally stopped. Instead, he wholeheartedly laced a single into left field in the fifth and, after getting the entire A’s defense on edge, easily stole second base, his fourth theft of the series. That blow ended Earnshaw’s chances for a no-hit game but he still had an opportunity to ease home un- der the two-hit figure Burleigh Grimes set yesterday until “Pepper” strode to the plate to start the Card- inals eighth. This time the irre- Pressible youngster smashed a double | against the left field wall but again| he could get no further than second as Earnshaw snuffed out the mates| who followed him. | So despite the glory that was Earnshaw's, the blistering attack that shattered the Cardinals, the hero who! can hardly lose his crown for the ser-| ies no matter what he does from now | on, gained himself further laurels. At} the present he is batting a gawdy .646/ with 9 hits, four of them doubles in! the first four games, surpassing the! all time record of .625 Babe Ruth set | when the Yankees conquered the, Pittsburgh Pirates in four straight’ games in the series of 1928.

All the strategy that the sideline critics could muster in the face of the silence of both Connie Mack and Gabby Street indicated that a left hand pitching duel today between “Rube” Walberg, or even Lefty Grove, the battered master, for the Athletics, and Bill Hallahan for the Cards in the last of the three games here.

I have seen Matty and Bender when they were in their prime, pitching marvelous baseball. “But I will tell you truthfully I never saw @ better pitched ball game than Earnshaw hurled. It could have been no better mechanically, even if he had pitched a no-hit game. This Martin just happens to be too hot to handle.” : Earnshaw has blanked the Card- inals in 38 of the 42 innings he has worked against them. He set them down scoreless for 22 innings in a row last year and he has run off 10 jscoreless innings this year. In five games he has yielded only four runs in as many scattered innings, and only 21 hits. He has fanned 32 Red Birds. It’s a marvelous record, surpassed for a single series only by the superb collection of three shutouts register- ed by Mathewson in 1905 against the Athletics, / Rochester Needs But One Victory To Annex Series Apostles Faced With Almost Impossible Task of Winning Four Straight Rochester, N.
