Hallahan Blanks Macks, 5-0, to Put St. Louis Back in Running for World Title Vanderbilt Upsets Minnesota Notre Dame Beats Methodists on Late Score WALBERG, SH WALLOPED BY CARDIN 86,944 Mound City Fans Spike A’s Big Guns—Jess Haines Due to Face Grove on Hurling Hill Today. BY ALLAN GOULD. Associated Press Sports Editor. T. LOUIS, October 4.—The St. S Louis Cardinals, after taking two straight bounded back off the ropes of the world series arena today on their home grounds and hand- ed the world champion Athletics an effective shutout wallop, 5 to 0, behind the brilliant southpaw box-fighting of Bill Hallahan. Hallahan started out as “Wild Bill,” but finished up as “Sweet William,” subduing the heavy sluggers of the A’s, while his team mates came to life before a roar- ing home town crowd of 36944 fans, accorded the southpaw brilliant support and pounded three opposing pitchers—George (Swede) Walberg, Texas Bill Shores. and old Jack Quinn. The Cardinals staged a spectacular comeback with Jimmy Wilson behind the bat for the first time and added fresh impetus to an attack that drove ‘Walberg out of the box in the fifth and Bhores in_the seventh. ‘Taylor Douthit's home r‘: off Wal- berg in the fourth inning, the first hit off the big southpaw of the A's, started the Cardinal scoring. ~Profiting from the example of their rivals in the first two games the Red Birds made their blows count for the first time in the series and romped off to decisive vic~ tory by bunching their 10 safe hits. Cards Look Different. ‘With Hallahan holding the A's to seven scattered blows and pitching’ air- tight ball in-the pinches, despite oc- casional streaks of wildness, the Cardi- nals appeared a different ball club as they scored their first victory in three starts against the champions of the world as well as the American League. It was the first shutout recorded in the world series since big Jess Haines, veteran Cardinal right-hander, blanked the Yankees in the third game of the 1926 series in this park.

By the Associated Press. HICAGO, October 4.—The Chi- cago city series was evened up this afternoon at Wrigley Pield | when the White Sox walloped | their National League rivals, 8 to 2.| Tommy Thomas, recently recovered | from an attack of ptomaine poisoning, | pitched in such a manner that pto- | maine poisoning from now on may be | considered an asset for a hurler and | not a liability. He allowed the ferociots Bruins only six blows, and they were docile as kittens in every inning but the fifth, when they scored both runs. The Sox started off on Bush with a run in the first on three hits and fol- lowed this up with three more in the | next frame, Bush making a hasty exit before the inning was over. However, an error by Blair on a ball that would | have retired the side let in all the | runs, none of them being earned. | Things then quieted down until the | Cubs_broke loose to come to within two runs of a tie, Hits by Blair and Bell and walks. to Grimm and Cuyler two games the Red Birds chose their home roost and the familiar back-| ground of white shirts in the bleachers | to make all 10' of their blows count in the scoring. ‘The Mackmen, who previously had | converted a mere dozen hits into 11| runs, were absolutely helpless this aft- ernoon when men were on bases. The A's had only 7 men left on bases in the first two games, but no less than 11 were stranded today as Al Sim- mons, Jimmy Dykes and Jimmy Foxx and Bing Miller, hitherto the big four on the attack, failed to do a thing with Hallahan when a safe blow meant & run. A's Blows Are Scattered. Max Bishop, with three hits, and Al Simmons, with two, poled out the big maljority of blows made off Hallahan, but they were scattered and did no| damage. Simmons, the big clean-up man. offset his batting mark of .500 for the afternoon by striking out in | the first inning with two men on bases and hitting into a double play in a similar situation in the third | Hallahan, on singles by Bishop and | Foxx and a pass to Cochrane, filled | the beses in the very first inning but | punctuated his performance with three | strikeouts. After fanning Dykes and | Simmons, the Cardinals’ southpaw blazed over three straight strikes on Miller for the third out with the sacks Qensely populated by Mackmen | ‘This was the best opportunity the A's wasted, although they had runners as far as second base In the third, sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth in- nings. Foxx and Miller skied out after Simmons’ double in the sixth, Dykes grounded out weakly with two on_ in Ahe seventh, Foxx and Miller again failed to advance Simmons more than a base in the eighth, after Al had sin- gled, and Dyke: struck out as the last man up in the ninth, after Jim Moore, Texas recruit and pinch hitter, had singled and Bishop had walked. Shores, righthander of the A’s, making his first appearance, got by the sixth without damage, but was met by a fresh barrage in the seventh and was relieved by old Jack Quinn after suc- cessive singles by Hafey, Watkins and Wilson shoved over two more runs. Haas' Poor Piay Costly. A poor play by Haas in attempting a long shot throw to cut off Blades at third on Watkins’ hit, enabled the latter to go_to second unmolested and tally with Blades when Wilson came through with a clean single. The 45-year-old Quinn, appearing in his third world series in 10 years, scoring the seventh, but successive doubles by Bottomley and Hafey, marking the end of the pro- longed batting slump of these two sluggers, accounted for the fifth and last Cardinal run. Béfore the game reports were cireu- lated that the big first baseman, Bot- tomley, would be replaced at first by Ernest’ Orsatti, but the latter apper-ed only in the flelding practice and Big | ball into the right-field bleachers fo set the stage for Hack Wilson. A home run would have given the Bruins a lead. but Reynolds made a leaping catch of Hack's liner just as it was about to clear the right-field screen.. This was the last real effort o the Bruips, although. they filled the bases in the eighth with none out, but could not_score. The Sox kept scoring, however, and | after getting one in the seventh on | Cissell's triple and an error by Eng- | | lish, came up with a big e'ghth frame and added three more.

YCHE STADIUM, Evanston, Il October 4—"Hard Luck” Hank Bruder, the “Big Tom" of Northwestern University Wild- cats, shook his jinx today, took per- sonal charge of proceedings and re- duced Tulane's Big C Wave to & mere dribble. Playing in ©; fifth game since he became & regular in 1928, Bruder scored two touchdowns and kicked both goals thereafter, to give Northwestern a 14-to-0 victory over the Southern in- vaders, in its first test of the season. Bruder was hailed as one of the greatest backs in the West in his first year, but injuries kept him out of all but ‘parts of three games. He came back_better than ever last season, but in Northwestern's opening Conference game with Wisconsin, which he won almost single-handed, he fractured his left leg and was out for the season. Gives Team Vietory. Today he came on the field wearing .|a big jinx-defying number, 13, on his jersey, and before he retired at the end of the second perjod had led his team to victory. Bruder's first touchdown was the re- sult of a bit of alert defensive play which permitted him to intercept a for- ward pass tossed by Dawson, Tulane | quarterback, and race 54 yards over the goal line. He was not used for the next five or so minutes, but when he went back into action, another touchdown promptly occurred. His punting drove Tulane into its own territory, and a poor Tulane punt gave Northwestern the ball on' the Green 26-yard line Bruder reeled off 14 yards off tackle, then Rentner, sophomore fullback, got 11 more on a- spinner. Renter tried twice_from the 1-yard line, but failed |and Bruder took the ball and hurled himself clear into the end zone for the score. After Bruder left the game North- | western still was too good for Tulane. But not good enough to score without the aid of its leader. Bruder, however, received impressive support. from a big, veteran line, and after he left, the same | forwards had much to do with wreck- | ing whatever offensive attempts Tulane made. Tulane Has Courage. | Northwestern, rated as the team to beat in the Big Ten Conference race, | was clearly superior in everything but | courage. The Greenies ncver stopped | trying to find something that would work, shifting, passing and running | until the final gun shot. Hugh Whatley, a reserve halfback, made most of the | Tulane gains, and in the fcurth period | participated in the Wave's most spirited |and most nearly successful bid for a score. ‘The kicking of Nollie Felts, with the exception of the bad one that led to the second touchdown, also was ex- cellent and helped to keep the Wildcat from clawing up the Tulane goal line on_other occasions.

OUTH BEND, Ind., October 4 (). —Notre Dame pitted a| hard running attack against the famed aerial offense of | Southern Methodist here today, but was forced to revert to the overhead style of play to win out, 20 to 14. Playing before a crowd of 25,000 in the new $750,000 stadium, the Rockne men eked out their mar- gin after the hardest kind of up- hill battling. With the score tied 14-all and four minutes to go, Schwartz completed a long pass to Conley, putting the ball on the 4-yard line. Sohwartz plunged over on the next play with the winning touchdown. The game was full of thrills, most of them resulting from the continual and promiscuous use of the forward pass by | the Methodists. In the first four min- | utes of play each team had scored once. The Texans marched down the fleld, using forward passes at the outset of the game, and Hopper plunged over |from the 2-yard line for the first touch- down after three minutes of play. Notre Dame lost no time in answering this drive. Joe Savoldi -received the succeeding kick-off on his 2-yard line and carried it straight down the middle of the fleld for 98 yards and a touch- down. ‘The Notre Dame second string, which had started the game, gave way to the regulars. at the start- of the second period. After an exchange of kicks Carideo ran back a Southern Methodist punt to the Texans' 16-yard line, and a few minutes later Schwartz sprinted. across the goal line after a 7-yard run. The visitors came back with some more long passes to score their second touchdown just two minutes before the end.of the first half, and left the score tled, 14 to 14, at intermission. Launching a desperate drive in the last half, Notre Dame twice battered its way to within scoring distance, only to benrepulsed by the Methodist forward wall. It was then that the running attack was discarded in favor. of the forward pass, and that took the contest out of the fire. | The Southerners’ aerial attack proved | be, and kept the Irish athletes and fans in constant suspense until the final gun.

By the Associated Press. MORGANTOWN, W. Va., October 4. | —A pile-driving fullback named Hood and a squirming. snake-dancing “half- back named Heller brought grief to West Virginia University's foot ball | team on Mountaineer Field here today and a 16-to-0 victory for the University | of_Pittsburgh. Twenty-two thousand fans, including | Gov. Conley of West Virginia, saw the | Panther, bullding its attack around | these two. count touchdowns after drives of 85 and 59 yards, respectively. | Two placements and a safety completed | the scoring. | * ‘West Virginia found the Panther line | almost impregnable and its passing of- | fense, for the most part used in the | final period, was rendered useless. ‘The | alert Pitt backs batted down 12 of the 16_tosses. ‘The first Pitt drive was unleashed | midway in the first period, starting at the Pitt 15, where a punt by Bartrug, West Virginia right half, rolled out of bounds. Hood accounted for some 45 yards and Heller for 25 in smashes di- rected for the most part at the tackles and mingled with reverse plays. A 15- yard penalty against West Virginia for holding made up the rest of the dis- tance. Hood drove through center from the 4-yard line for the touchdown. Baker’s blocked placement counted be- cause West Virginia was offside.

By the Associated Press. INNEAPOLIS, October 4.— A substitute halfback, Johnny Askew, combined forward, lateral and inter- cepted passes with flashes of ter- rific speed to lead Vanderbilt to a 33-to-7 victory over Minnesota today. It was the first victory for the Southerners in three annual in- vasions of the Gophers' Northern stronghold, and a defeat for Min- nesota’s new coach, Fritz Crisler, in the first major game since he took over the Minnesota coach- ing reins. While the versatile Askew sped for four brilliant teuchdowns, his team- mates effectively broke up the aerial game Crisler bas ‘cultivated and seven times the Southerners intercepted throws by Minnesota backs. Only once did Minnesota’s aerial challenge succeed—in its first play of the game. Jack Manders, giant full- back, hurled a 38-yard pass to Wal- ter Hass, ‘who_sprinted 25 yards for a touchdown. But 18 pass attempts by the Gophers during the remainder of the game failed to produce scores with only four completed during the entire game for a total gain of 84 yards. Pass Gets Touchdown. Vanderbilt ‘quickly balanced Min- nesota’s scoring start when after a fumble by Manders, Benny Parker tossed a forward to Amos Leonard who eluded tacklers and went across for a touchdown. Askew began his deadly efforts in the second quarter, cashing in on the first of the costly interceptions of Mine nesota passes. With possession of the ball, Parker passed to Schwartz, who | caught the oval with one hand and {the signal for Askew to begin ~was | sounded. The substitute dashed through the Minnesota line for 6 |yards, bringing it within a short dis- | tance of the goal and on the next play took & lateral pass and dashed through a wide gap in the Gopher line. A few minutes later Askew scored | again, this time on a forward pass from Parker, which again immediately followed interception of a Gopher pass, deep in Vanderbilt territory. Askew made his third touchdown | shortly ‘after the start of the second half when he hugged the ball on a long pass from Parker after it had | glanced off the arms of a ‘Gopher | would-be intercepter. The substitute’s final thrilling per- | formance of the afternoon came in the final period when another Gopher mis- play, this time a fumble, gave the 20 | Southerners possession of the oval near their own goal line. Askew spun through the Minnesota: line and then outsprinted the Gopher secondary de- fense with a burst of speed which car- ried him far across the fleld—but across the goal line just before a tackier brought him down. ¥ Victory .Is Earned. Statistics. of . the game showed that in addition to winning the braaks of | the game, the Southerners earned the | vietory. They scored 10 first downs to 5 for Minnesota, gaining a -total of 282 yards from . scrimmage 1o 166 for the Gophers.
