S - HURLER HALLAHAN HAS PLOT'S FATH Proved Mettle by Winning Pinch Contests During Pennant Dash. BY CHARLES (GABBY) STREET, Manager of the St. Louls Cardinals. T. LOUIS, October 4.—We S have lost twice in succession to several good clubs during the National League pen- nant race and we never quit, and we're far from a beaten ball club, despite the fact that the Athletics have taken our measure twice. We can come back and we're going to come back and we expect to have the upper hand when we move back to Philadelphia to com- plete the series. Bill Hallahan is going to pitch for us and Till will come through for us just as he has many times this year. I distinctly remember three games of great importance that Hallahan pitched for us this year. We had lost two games of an important series and I said to Hallahan: “Bill, this is how much con- fidence I've got in you. We have to stop this ball club to prevent them from taking the series. And I'm sending you in there because T know you can do it.” Bill stopped the Cubs in such a series and he stopped the Robins. Stopped Robins' Streal Then the basc »all world still re- members the great game Bill pitched against the Robins /n the last series at Brooklyn. The Rooins had won 11 straight games. They hadn't lost a game at home since August 4 and they were leading the league. If they could have beaten us they would have won the pennant. They knew that and I knew that we had to beat Brooklyn And I told Bill again that we were up against it. All our great drive wouldn't do us any good unless we could beat the Robins and I told him I had so much confidence in him that I was sending him against Vance in the first game and I knew he could beat the Dazzler. Hallahan came through, we clearfed up the series and here we are with another imporiant game to be won and once again I am depending on_Hallahan. Our backs are to the 'll_lllll. lts they , and Bill is going to have to stop ‘fi:{ Athletics and put us back in the fight for the world championship, and I know he can do it. Hitters in Slump. We haven't hit at all in this serles, and without detracting from the work of Mack's pitchers, Grove and Earn- shaw, it isn’t in the books for our good hitters to continue in their slump. Douthit hasn't m?d: tt}flt {“' lBl‘;:; tomley, & at hitter, hasn’t gol v safe, and ‘lfi(ey has made only one. ‘And thet was one that broke through Boley at short. . You can't keep Hafey and Bottomley from hitting day after ¢y, and they're coming out of it. And they are long hitters. A few hits from ‘m and the series :nndln&mld be very different. Things will be different at home. Th Athletics made three home runs at thel ball park, but those hits would have Jes at S sman’$ Park, ‘whereas %lmm' our-bager would have been good for four in almost any k. using Jimmy Wilson behind the plate today. Not that Mancuso hasn't done work. He has performed in | great style. But 'et'lvf lost two games, and a change may help. ‘Wilson ‘x:( more experienced, and for that reason I'm sending him in to han- | dle Hallaban’s curves., Hallahan will beat them today, and before we leave St. Louis I expect to have the Athletics on the run. They say Grove wasn't as fast as usual in his'game. Well, he'll have to be faster by a whole lot if he hopes to stop my boys a second time. We're not licked. We're full of fight, and we'll win this world series yet. (Copyright, 1930, Christy Walsh Syndicate.)

Other famcus hurlers who lost the same number of world series games are Eddie Plank of the A’s, Rube Mar- quard of the Giants and Dodgers and Joe Bush of the A's, Red Sox and Yankees. Matty holds many world series records of distinction besides his three shutouts in one series. He pitched another shutout game in 1913, for a total of four; he pitched more series innings than any other pitcher (101 2-3); he made 12 as- sists in_one scries (1912), end he twice Tetired the side on three pitched balls (second and eighth game of 1912 serles). “Babe” Adams’ three series vic- tories occurred in 1909 over the Tigers and were & great surprise, as Adams was more or less of a rookie at the time. Jack Coombs defeated the Cubs on October 18, 20 and 23, 1910, and the following year he hurled another victory, this time over the Giants. In 1916 he won his fifth world series game, pitching for Brookiyn against the Red Sox. The only other pitcher to win five series con- tests and lose none is Herb Pen- nock of the Yankees. Chief Bender of the Athletics and Waite Hoyt of the Yankees (now Tigers) each won the most games, six for one and half a dozen for the other. Bender lost four decisions altogether, while Hoyt was beaten three times. FRISCH STRESSES CARDS GAMENESS S Team at Best When Coming | From Behind—Did Well | Against Grove. BY FRANKIE FRISCH, Second Baseman of the Cardinals. T. LOUIS, October 4.—One of the | Cardinals’ strong points during, the regular season was their abil- | ity to come from behind. In fact, | during the late drive to the pennant, the | team played better base ball when it | | had to overtake the other fellow than| when it held a lead. Now, a similar condition prevails and I believe we will make an uphill fight to the world cham- | plonship. 1t is true that few teams have won the champlonship after losing the first two games of the series, but we were compelled to overcome greater odds to win the National League pennant. They | had us counted aut of the league run-/| ning wher we were 12 games from first on August 9—but we came 2 simply a.little bit slow getting started. However, we'll get going. Nat- | urally, we feel hurt over our failure to win at least one of the two games in Philadelphia, but we're not down. We're rarin’ new for revenge. Combine Essentials. Thare are two principal factors in a | ball game, pitching and hitting, and usually, in a series of this caliber, a | team n'ust get good pitching and hit- ting simultaneously to win. So far, the Athletics have combined these two es- | sentials in_each game, although they | required the breaks to help them through the opener. | We hit Grove hard in that game, and if a couple of our hardest hit balls had | landed on safe turf, we probably would | have won. We locked good against | Grov>, even thcugh defested. | In the second game, I'll 2dmit we were not_our: We were far from the | Cardinal team which made that sensa- | tional drive cown the National League | 1030. by North American News- pvaper Alliance.)

LOUIS, Mo., October 4.—The faint, lingering hope of the Cardi- nals as they start their home stand of three games is the belief that the terrific tide beating against the National League since 1926 can't last forever. Here is a rival major league with about the same talent ard it has won exactly 1 ball game in the last 15 starts through 1927, 1928, 1929 and 1930. Cardinal supporters figure that a hostile surf of this destructive force is sure to rebound and start moving in the other direction with the same heavy sweep. The law of average is due to swing about, but there are oc- casions when the law of average takes its cock-eyed time before permiiting the underdog to get back on his feet. Only one team in the long history of the world series has dropped the first two games and then came back to win. That was the Giants in 1921. So Old | Man Percentage is running against the Cardinals on all eight cylinders, and it will take something of a miracle to beat this Athletic team four out of five. The Cardinals proved their ability and their gameness in facing a 10- LAND RICE | game deficit last August and then rip- | ping their way_through Cubs, Dodgers and Giants. But Cubs, Dodgers and Giants are not the Athletics. Not quite. They had no two pitchers as effective as Mack’s two stars, and they had no | supply of dynamite to match the massed punch department of the Mackmen, | Collins, Baker and McInnis were rated as a dangerous trio 20 years ago, | but they were never quite up to the | present trio that has already contrib- | uted a flock of home runs, triples_and | doubles in the first two games. There | are more than a few who believe the | | series will end in five games. I figure the Cardinals strong enough at home to take two out of three and carry |the war back East again, but even in | this case they will be Up against a I morbid assignment, that of beating the Athletics two games at Shibe Park. The Cardinals aré in sad need of a | psychological change. They looked de- | pressed and futile Thursday when Cochrane, Simmons and Foxx began | taking aim for the second time at the | | right field wall. | “They looked as if they were up | against some fate beyond their con- trol. But there is something at least in the fact that they have proved their | ability to come from behind before. | (Copyright, 1930. by North American News- paper Alllance.)

COLLINS CREDITS - MACK HOWITZERS Cochrane, Simomns and Foxx | Have Given Team Its Principal Punch. BY EDDIE COLLINS. Captain of the Athletics. T. LOUIS, October 4.—During 2 day of rest traveling to this city for the third game of the world series an opportunity was afford- ed for a short resume of the games played so far. In a nutshell, the reason we have two victories to our credit is because the three main guns in our offensive, Cochrane, Simmons and Foxx, have boomed most effectively, whercas the big berthas of the Cardinals, Frisch, Bottomley and Hafey, have been| silenced. ’ It is e Frisch, St. Louis’ second | baseman, s just as dangerous a hitter as any of our boys. However, the com- bined power and execution of the Ath- letics’ trio overshadows that of our rivals. From a defensive angle, our two best gttchers, Grove and Earnshaw, have en masters of every situation. Grimes and Rhem, the St. Louis starting pitch- ers, have not. That's the answer to the whole thing. Grimes Pitched Well. Although we beat Grimes, I thipk he pitched a very creditable game, more so than the 5-2 score would indicate. Grimes must realize this, too, judging from a remark he made to a friend of mine the night aiter the first game. “I pitched to a couple of those birds just as we had them figured,” he said. “And then they hit everything safely. ‘What can a fellow do?” I have often heard Connie Mack say: “If you've got the other fellow worried | the ‘battle is half won.” Ty Cobb has | always been my ideal ball player, the | best I ever saw or hope to see, and- 50 | per cent of his offen: threat he was to the defending team, the anxiety he caused opposing pitchers | and fielders, who had always to wonder just what he would do next. If we were in the Cards’ shoes with | two defeats staring us in the face and | our two best pitchers beaten I know | we would be worried. We would be half | sick and then some.

ON THE SIDE LINES With the Sports Editor By DENMAN F followers of the Cardinals —and this town's full of them—are searching for some reason other than those already advanced for St. Louis’ extremely disappointing showing in the first two world series settos, they need look no farther than Taylor Douthit and Jim Bottomley. As lead-off man for the Red Birds, Douthit’s .chief chore is to get on base, no matter how. The quaint theory back of this procedure is that if he lands on the paths it then becomes possible for him to score a run. And, of course, runs are what ball games are won with. As clean-up hitter, Bottom- ley’s. principal attacking duty is to be just that, although if he can't produce extra-base blows, mere singles, sacrifice flies or anything that will get those potential tallies in to the counting block. AND how have the boys func- tioned? In the Shibe Park end of the 1930 edition of the national pastime’s biggest show, Lead- off Man Douthit has gotten on base a total of no times through his own efforts. And Clean-up Hitter Bottomley also has bat- ted for a percentage of .000. The only offensive contribu- tion of Douthit was a fly to Haas in the third inning of the initial tilt that enabled Man- cuso to score from the far cor- ner, and the only time he ac- tually got on the runway was in the seventh session of the same tilt when he forced out a teammate at the midway. Bottomley, in the two games, went to bat exactly eight times, and on just one occa- sion succeeded in getting a ball out ofethe infield. This was in THOMPSON-— the first inning of the second game when he raised a soft fly to Haas. At that time Frisch was cavorting around the key- stone sack by reason of a dou- ble he had walloped off Earn- shaw, and Jim’s death was the third of the frame. OTTOMLEY was victimized on strikes twice, one of these whiffs coming in the third inning of the second game with Frisch awaiting succor at ghe hot station, and it followed g respite Jim had re- ceived when Dykes slipped and fell in attempting to snare his easy foul. And Bottomley had two other opportunities to do something concrete for the Cardinal cause with his bat. In the third inning of the initial combat, for instance, he came up with his side in possession of a pair of tallies just gleaned against Grove on four safeties and a pair of sacrifices. Two of his gang were champing on the bit, so to speak, when Bottom- ley raised a little fly to Foxx. And again in the fifth, fol- lowing Frisch’s ringing double, the St. Louis first baseman again faced a golden opportu- nity, and again was retired by his rival initial sack guardian, this time on a puny roller. THERE may be a different story to tell today, with the series being resumed at Sports- man’s Park, where the Cardi- nals play 77 of their regular season games, but if the Na- tional League is to avert an- other of the routs its repre- sentatives have been subjected to in the last three title sets, they should get more assist- ance from the chap at the top of the batting order, and the athlete who hits, or is sup- posed to hit, in the vitally im- portant fourth place. DOWN THE LINE WITH W. O. The Younger Generation. T STRIKES me that the followers of this annual trdveling madness, which is called the world series, are becoming older and that there mately, there will be no followers at all | it this state of things continues and | then naturally there will be no more ‘What gct me to thinking along these lines was the subject of an impromptu discussion which fook place off the pest room in Philadelphia. ‘There were pres- ent Mr. John Evefs, known as the Trojan and the Crab; Mr. Hugo Bezdek, coach of Penn State; Mr. Bert Bell, master cf the hidden ball trick, who is now coaching Temple College; Mr. Tyrus Raymond Cobb and ' several journalists who have chased world series from Boston to St. Louis and back again. The tip-off cn the fact that those present were ageing was_the topic for discussion. It was “The Younger Gen- Now, whenever a bunch of over their refreshments starts to put the youth of the land in the grease, as the boys say, it means that they are getting thin around the tcp of the head, gray around the temples and a litile dyspeptic around the middle. As I recall it, Mr. John Evers, Te- suming the role of the Crab, in which part he starred as a member of the Cubs of other days, started the subject, involuntarily. Mr. Evers was pointing ocut the obvious defects in the modern base ball players, in their fielding par- ticularly. Said Mr. Evers: “When you go out into that pall park this afternoon you watch those outfielders. You will find them lined up in positions as geo- metrically perfect as those laid cut in the diagrams in Spalding’s Guide. The right fielder will be exactly in right, the left fielder will be in left and the center flelder will be in the middle. They will not deviate cr move. You will not find them shifting with the different batters | or ready to dash into position when a | left field hitter is going to hit into left | of vice versa. There is no jmagination | shown and no attempt to study the op- ponent. That’s the younger generation | for you—trusting everything to luck.” “That's true,” said Bert Bell. “That’s | the way with my team that I am coach- | ing. They won't use their imaginations, either. They do nct keep their minds | on the game. They go into position | and they stay that way. I think half | of the time they are thinking about, dates they have missed or gin parties | they have planned ahead. That's the younger generation for you.” Here Mr. Bell interrupted to mix him- self another rickey and to help Mr.| Evers to_something, Mr. Evers taking only a little ice and mineral water with_his. “They don't think base ball and live e way we used to,” continued s, revived by the slight stimu- nd to play base ball you have to eat, sleep and think about it. The younger generation can't realize that.” “No,” agreed Mr. Bell. “They think that they can forget foot ball the min- ute they leave the practice field. They do not Tealize what it entails. I'm get- ting fed up on the younger generation. The material is fine, but the spirit isn't there.” “The younger generation is all right.” put in Mr. Hugo Bezdek. “And, any- how, the younger generation is going to do what it pleases. And what are you going to do about it? All of these younger ~ generations muddle through somehow and they do it pretty well. This one will come out all right.” Don't Rub. S¢J'LL explain the difference,” con- tinued Mr. Evers. “When I was with the Stallings Braves, fight- ing through to a world championship, we took our base ball seriously. It was fight all the time for us. We went to sleep with our fists clenched and a fighting slogan on our lips. “We had a saying then, ‘Don’t rub.’ That meant never to show that you were hurt. I remember in practice col- liding with Rabbit Maranville and knocking out of his teeth with my head. I said, ‘Don’t rub,’ and the Rab- bit kept on playing with a tooth gone and his lips all swoolen for days. It was always that way when anybody had anything the matter with him, ‘Don’t rub.” “Well, one day I was trying to stretch a single into a double. You might remember that. I pulled up suddenly and something cracked. I could hear it. My leg was broken. The crowd on the bench shouted at me, ‘Don't rub!” At the same time I saw the out- fielder drop the ball and as it rol away from him, I kept on running made_ third base with my leg broken. 1 couldn’t rub with the crowd shouting at me and I made it. But they had carry me off the field, and I was out. & whole season. But I didn’t “But you take this younger lera- | ing the dressin, McGEEHAN tion. If one of them gets the least bit of a bump or if they are overfed and it doesn’t agree with them you can't get them to go out there.” “The younger generation is all right,” insisted Mr. Bezdek. “They have too much 'sense to kil mselves over a mere ball game. “Don't rub,” mused Mr. Bell, “Fm going to tell that to my foot ball players when I get them out tomorrow night. I think that the trouble with them is that they will rub and then they forget everything I tell them.” Also in Literature. AT this point Mr. G. Rice mixed him- self a mild rickey and joined in the general condemnation of the flaming youth of the period. “The younger generation is softening up,” said Mr. Rice. “It runs to gin and it thinks only of parties. The writing world is becoming affected by it. Take the writers of the younger set among the colleges. “Can you find one Gouveneur Morris at Yale today? Can you find one Booth Tarkington at Princeton? And then, onee upon a time, there was a_George Ade at Purdue. But today the gin drinking has stopped all of that. A little while ago a certain magazine offered a prize for the best piece by an undergraduate. They got something like 20,000 essays. They gave the prize, all right, and it was good money, but they never published the prize-winning article. It was too rotten.” “The younger generation is all right,” insisted Mr. Bezdek, edging for the door “And the younger generation is wise and will show us all up.” On the foliowing evening Mr. Bell, the foot ball coach, again met with Mr. John Evers. He still looked gloomy “I told them the story about ycur them a great talk. are complaining about a few bruises when an onery little runt of a base ball player with a brok:n leg stretched a single to three bases, little Johnny Evers, the Crab, “Yes,” sald Mr. Evers, pleased, how did they take it?"” “Fine,” said Mr. Bell. “They were much impressed. But when I was pass- room a little later, I heard one of them say, ‘That Johnny Evers is no lion tamer.’'” At this point there was a hoarse, derisive chuckle. “I told you that the younger generation was wise,” said Mr. Hugo Bezdek. “You cannot peddle them any applesauce.” NORTHERN TEAM MAY HAVE TO FACE BEALL One-Time Member of Yankees Is Likely to Do Slab Work for Celtics Tomorrow.

LOUIS, October 4.—While the Athletics have won both games of the current world series and placed the Car- dinals at a decided disadvantage, the real test for us starts in this city today. We are scheduled to play three games here, and if we win two of them the series will be over and that third-game stub-held by Philadelphia ticket purchasers will be good for redemption value only. Should we lose two out of three games or three straight on Missouri soil, then the series will return to Philadelpkia, to be finished at Shibe Park, with the sixth game scheduled Wednesday and a seventh game, if necessary, the fol- lowing day. Only in one instance where a team that won the first two games of the October classic eventually was beaten for the title, That was in 1921, when the two New York clubs battled for the highest hon- ors. The Yanks captured the first two contests and then lost, but it was only possible because the rules that year called for five out of nine games to de- cide. Since then the rule has been four out of seven. Used to Park. ‘These past performances are mighty comforting, but I am looking for the Cardinals o present a stronger front in St. Louis. It is true the park advantage is not so great, for we play elevén games each year at Sportsmen’s Park, which is the home of the Browns of the American League as well as the Cardinals, and the records show that we have always thrived at this battlefield. In the two games played so far the point that has impressed me most is that our team has hit when hits meant” runs. We make our hits when they are needed. Our hit totals were not big on either day, but our run making was heavy. Our hits counted far more than ‘the blows of the Cardinals. This was due to the fact that both Grove and Earnshaw seemed to be stronger in keeping our opponents from hitting when it was necessary to do 5o to_keep runs from scoring. In two games we made 12 hits and scored 11 runs. The Cardinals made 15 hits, 3 more than us, but scored only three runs, 8 less than we did. These figures reflect the difference between hitting in a pinch and failing to take advantage of opportunities. Grove and Earnshaw always had something in reserve whenever their opponents threatened to score. A’s Click Generally. - The Athletics backed up this sound pitching with timely hitting and bril- liant fielding. Cochrane, Simmons and Foxx, our big three of the pennant race, have borne the brunt of the attack, all coming through with extra base drives. Already Cochrane had had two home runs and Simmons one. Looking at the base ball drama from the bench, one wou'd imagine that those three have put 1-ar in the hearts of St. Louis pitchers, who by this time realize that at any time they are apt to_deliver a long hit. I want to point out that in both games we started rallies with two out and nobady on base. Too much credit cannot be given Jimmy Dykes for his electrifying doubles in both games that were helpful in keeping us out in front. Haas on opening day and Miller on Thursday also came through in the pinch. Our batting punch is best exempli- fied by the fact that in the two games played we have never been behind in one inning. In fielding Boley, Bishop and Dykes have stood out. Our outfielders have not had many opportunities to show their abundance of skill for the reason that. Grove and Earnshaw allowed so few hard hit fly balls. Behind the bat Cochran has been the human dynamo that he was all season. It is nothing new for Mickey to play dazzling ball. Gabby Is Praised. . In my opinion the Cardinals have played good, steady ball. I can well understand why they are champions of the National League. I think Gabby Street has handled his team as well as anybody could. His players have not Bit in ‘pinches and no manager can prevent that. So far the lower end of the batting order has outshone the others with the bat, excepting that Frankie Frisch is playing the usual swift game he Always shows in a world ‘series. There are two young Pennsylvania boys in the Cardinal line-up who have done astonishingly well. I refer to Charley Gelbert of Ambler, son of a famous Penn athlete, and little Sparky Adams of the coal regions. Both of these infielders have accepted many difficult chances with efse and grace, cutting down our hit totals each day, while both have hit the ball hard. Mancu:o, the catcher, has handled himself so well that he must be ranked with the leading catchers. As for my pitcher today, I am not going to recede from my policy not to an- ncunce anything in advance. As a matter of fact. 1 have not the slightest idea to whom I will hand the ball today.
