GABBY PRAISES HALLAHAN FOR MASTERFUL HURLING St. Louis Pilot Also Gives Credit for Victory to Wilson’s Heady Catching and to Fact Bottomley and Hafey Started Hitting. BY GABBY STREET, Manager St. Louis Cardinals. T. LOUIS, October 4.—Ever since we clinched the Na- S tional League pennant I have contended that we had a great ball club, and we showed it today when we defeated the| Athletics, 5 to 0, in the third game of the world series. In| this game we had sensational pitching from Bill Hallahan and he was| backed up by hitting, some-| thing I did not have in the two contests played | in Philadelphia. We are started| now and I don't| think ~ that the Athletics will be able to stop us, no matter who is on the hill for Connie Mack. Jim Bot- tomley and Chick Hafey have started to hit and that will make all the dif- ference in the world to my club. They hit in the third game and we won. And they will continue to hit. Bill Hallahan has been a it pitcher all season and he showed him- self a great world series hurler. He pitched a masterful game and I got a real thrill out of that first inning, when he struck out Al Simmons on three pitched balls and then with the bases full, struck out Bing Miller to end the inning. That was one of the finest exhibitions 1 have seen in some time. A’s Big Three Stopped. Hallahan stopped Cochrane, Simmons and Foxx with men on the bases, and that is all that is needed to beat the Gabby Street. Athletics. Cochrane did not get a hit, while Simmons, with one chance to drive in a run, rapped into a double | play. TFoxx's only hit was an infleld set himself to throw. Hallahan was in trouble several times, but he always ‘hld enough in reserve to crawl out of the hole. | " Jimmy Wilson's presence behind the bat had & lot to do with the success of the club, not that Gus Manusco is not a fine catcher. He is, and he showed |1t during our final pennant drive, but he lacks the experience that Wilson owns. That's Why I used Wilson. He will work again tomorrow. He not only steadied the ball club, but he did some fine hitting. But the real secret of the game was the fact that we hit in the pinches. In the first two games, I did not get a grounder on which Gelbert could not | T THE NAVY SINKS hit from Douthit, Hafey and Bottom- ley, when they were needed.

If you are looking for one, it | is hard to find. All I can say is that | Hafey and Bottomley and Douthit hit and that meant all the difference in the world. When Jimmy Bottomley pulled that foul from Jimmy Foxx out of the fleld box I got a real thrill. It was one of | the finest defensive plays I have seen | in my long connection with base ball. And after Sunny Jim got that off his chest, he smashed out a double to end | his_hitless streak. We are now only one game behind the Athletics and are very much in the running for the world championship. I will use either Burleigh Grimes, who lost & hard luck game in his first ap- pearance in the series, or Jess Haines on the hill in the fourth contest. But no matter who works I am sure we will be even after the contest is played. I said we would go back to Philadelphia and I am sticking to it. “CARDS WILL EVEN SETTODAY," FRISCH Frankie Hails Shutout Vie- tory of Hallahan as Tonic Team Needed. BY FRANKIE FRISCH, Captain of the Cardinals, T. LOUIS, Mo., October 4.— S Now this world series is just getting good.

Al of us on the Cardinal team knew Hallahan was right in the very first inning. He was away from the cor- ners, but his stuff was so dazzling that when he did get the ball over the plate the Elephants couldn't see. Thus, Bill fanned three men in the | first inning, the dangerous Bing Mil- ler striking out with the bases loaded. ‘When tne little left hander came through the early crisis, we knew he | woula win for us if we went out and got him one or two runs. We knew he was agaln in the great form he en- joyed 1n Brooklyn several weeks ago, when he blanked the Dodgers, 1 to 0, in 10 innings of that crucial National League series.

It looks as if Mack will come back with Bob Grove, who ‘was lucky to beat us in the first game. JOHNSON TO SEE GAME To Look Over Players as Hyatts- ville Meets Galesville. HYATTSVILLE, Md, October 4— Walter Johnson will, it is announced, uttend the ball game tomorrow after- noon between the Hyattsville and™ ville nines on the Riverdale field at 3 o'clock, ‘The Nat manager will look over Gump Bailey, Hyattsville pitcher, and other Jmateria). It will be Hynttsville's final mme ol the campaign. } |less it was good enough under any pea; walked a batter, a hit followed and I thought we were off; Hallahan didn't. Hallahan is a crafty pitcher. He had as much at the finish as when he started. He always had something in reserve. In my humble opinion, he pitched a marvelous game. Incidentally, Hallahan received con- siderable assistance from Jimmy Wil- son, the aggressive young catcher that Manager Gabby Street saw fit to use in place of Mancuso. Wilson is sup- to have a badly sprained right ankle, maybe he has, but he handied Hallahan perfectly. Anyway, there was nothing wmns with ‘his batting eye. Jimmy furnishe two timely hits, drove in two runs and was & big factor from every angle in St. Louis play. 1 think Rube Walberg's work was very creditable. Of course, it did not measure up to Hallahan's, neverthe- other circumstances. ‘The Rube was put in a tough spot. His heart was set on winning and he was bitterly disappointed. Douthit’s home run in the fourth, which, by the way, was the first hit off Walberg, would have beex suffi- clent to . When Walberg w yanked, Bill Shores and Jack Quinn attempted to stop the hitting ba e, but were not successful. Douthit's homer was the spark that set the ‘Cards off.
