The Champlons got only five |hits off Burleigh Grimes, veteran spitball artist of the Cards, but they set a new world's series rec- ord when they converted every one of them into runs. Two were hom- ers, by Simmons and Cochrane, two were for three bases and one was a two-bagger. Cards Outhit Athletics In the number of hits made, the Cardinals topped the American League entry in the baseball class- ic. They found Lefty Grove, Cons nie Mack's pitching ace, for nine safeties, including two two-baggers, but they were able to make them count for but two scores. Their nine safeties aggregated 11 bases, while the Athletics’' five clouts were for sixteen bhases. Grimes hurled a great game but the power in the bats of the Champions’_sluggers was too much for him. His team mates spotted him to a one-run advantage in the third frame but, it was blasted out of existence in the fourth when the A’s tied the count on Sim- mons' smash into the rightfield stands, and what proved to be the winning run was chalked up in the sixth when Bishop worked !Grimes for a pass and went scur- rying over the plate when Dykes smashed one of Grimes's offerings into rightfield for two bags. How They Scored Neither team scored in the first, three men facing each hurler. To start the Philadelphia half of the second frame, Simmons grounded to the box and was thrown out by Grimes. Foxx bounged one off the rightfield wall for three sacks. Miller drove a fly deep into center field and Foxx scored after the catch for the initial run of the game, The Cards came right back in the opening half of the third in- ning. Mancusco, Card catcher, smacked one of Grove's slants to right for a clean single. Gelbert, shortstop, duplicated his feat, Man- cusco playing it safe and stopping at second. Grimes laid down a bunt which rolled down and filled the bases. Douthit hit » center for a sacrifice and the Card backstop crossed the plate with the tying run.
