S PORTS. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1931 SPORTS. m MARTIN'S STOPPED, AS GROVE COPS, 8- Wildness of Derringer and; Mates’ Errors Settle | Issue. BY GRANTLAND RICE. T. LOUIS, October 10.—It sud- | denly occurred to Robert, Moses Grove, the humnn\ coil, that he had better sur- round and capture Pepper Mar- tin before it was too late. This, is exactly what Grove cid, and as ai result of his amazing capture the seventh and deciding game of this world series is left dangling between the two strong right arms | of George Earnshaw and Burleigh| Grimes, the two-hit heroes of the big week. With Martin_stopped for the first | time, the bowildered Cardinals blew wide open as Grove beat Derringer, Johtson, Lindsey and Rehm, 8 to Derringer and Lindsey both heard the call of the wild and started forcing run- ners over the plate faster than the doorman could take up tickets. Derringer, the Kentucky Cardinal, turned suddenly into a stormy petrel in | the fifth inning after Flowers threw | wild to first and mixed up four passes with two hits for a net total of four Athletic runs. This brok2 up the ball game with Grove holding the halter around Pepper Martin's neck, after the manner of an ancient Roman captive tied to the conquercr's chariot wheel. You could hear the Western winds sing- ing cr sighing: ©Oh, somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining still, Somewhere a bloke can get a drink or flash a dollar bill, Somewhere the bands are playing and there's laughter in the fold, But old St. Looey knows no joy since A Grove stopped Pepper cold. A’s Chance in Final. With_the slashing Martin _haltered and coliared, the Athletics now step into the final game favored in the dope. For they have Earnshaw, the Big Mocse, alias the Swarthmore Scythe, all | set to go after the Cardinals in the final game, and he has been rank poison for the Red Birds for two years. They have beaten him once, but even then it took the flying spikes of Pepper Martin to cut him down after he pitched a six- hit game. On the other side of the argument, Burleigh Grimes has held the Athletics to 12 hits in three games, a terrific pace, 50 if the past performance chart is working on any one of six cylinders| Earnshaw and Grimes should put on a pitcher’s battle worthy of the Iyre that Homer smote, “To Make Men Hear by Land and Sea.” Before taking up this matter in fur- ther detail it might be just as well to record a few. of the sombre facts con- pected with the sixth game of this se- Ties. As a show it was a complete flop. Then the Motor Stalled. ‘The beauty and chivalry of St. Louis had assembled to the number of 40,000 on a flawless October day to see the Cardinals mop up and close out the show. For four innings they saw a ball game, with Grove and Derringer neck and neck. Then the tidal wave broke, the blast went off, the mine blew up, the murder occurred, the Yor- nado arrived and the volcanic eruption took place before 40,000 highly excited spectators knew the blackjack had fallen across their domes of thought. It all started when Jimmy Foxx | tapped one to Flowers at third in start- ing the fifth inning and Flowers threw wild. Bing Miller sacrificed and Dykes walked. Then Williams, who had made only two hits in the series and had struck out eight times, hammered a single that scored Foxx. Derringer then fanned Grove and there were two out. Things were not 50 bad. But Derringer, lacking the control that made his namesake famous in the old South, walked Bishop. This filled the bases and brought up Mule Haas. The count was three and two on Mule when Derringer cut the corner of the plate, possibly a trifie low. Any- way, Umpire Nallin called it a ball, forcing in another run, and then thE\ cyclone struck. Mr. Nallin Hears Plenty. About nine-tenths of the Cardinals surrounded Mr. Nallin, bringing him the telephone numbers and office addresses of leading oculists. It was a matter of 21 inch or two either way, but it ended the ball game then and there, for Coch- rane singled and Simmons walked and there were four runs over the plate, with Grove wheeling that fast one through and getting better and better inning after inning. Sylvester Johnson took up the Cardi- nal burden and he was followed by Lindsey, who stepped into a manhole in the seventh when he walked one man, hit another and allowed three hits, “hile Hafey was muffiing an outfield fiy that sent two men across. Here were four more runs, and by this time the assembled multitude, so full of Joy and excitement an hour before, was 5 beginning to yawn when it wasn't raz- | %’ zing Nallin. ‘The Cardianls finally got a run in the sixth when Flowers doubled and Frisch singled, but that was only a drop in the ocean, a piece of ice in the Arctic or a grain of sand along the At'antic Coast. This was a ball game the Athletics | ncver had to win. It was handed to them with the sauce and dressing all |53 prepared A Terrible Ball Game. Outside of errors and bases on balls, the score might have been 1 and 1, 1. | Philadelphia . | St. Lou | Mayor Victor Miller, himself an ‘ardent | the park filled to capacity.

DONIE BUSH GONE AS CHISOX LEADER [Hands in Resignation, Which Is Accepted—Faber May Be His Successor. By the Assoclated Press. HICAGO, October 10.—Donie Bush, hard-luck man of base ball, has given up the difficult task of attempting to make a winner out of the White Sox.

His fast ball was just zipping around the plate, with a lot of stuff on it. We give him credit for pitching a | masterful game. He was ahead of us in strikes and seldom was in a bad spot.

I don't offer this as any klnd o( an alibl, but when we put uj r ment over that called bail by Umplre Nallin in the fifth inning, we did it in the belief that it should have been a strike.

N ball stage in this part of the country. New York, Atlsgnta and Pittsburgh are the nearest places where are to be played comparable games. And it is doubtful if either of these threc will show the color and partisan interest sure to be seen here from the moment the regiment of mid- shipmen marches on the field at 2 o'clock until the last whistle blxoqws 5 avy is bringing to Wa: hlman an eleven stronger than the one which rep- resented it last season, if reports are accepted et face value. The Sallors are big and strong and fast and have wo teams of almost equal strength. In other words, it generally is conceded that Navy has a margin in reserve power, in ebility to bring up fresh strength to hurl into the fray st an opportune moment. Just how much this will mean remains to be seen. It may count for a good deal and possibly not for so much. Maryland has virtually the same team that wore its colors last year, although it lost two good men. It will place on the field this afternoon against Navy an eleven that should be stronger than its 1930 representative, although so far this Fall that strength has not been shown. Costly mistakes in both the | g2mes already played have kept the Old Liners down to little better than & | mediocre level. As far as the game itself is concerned, pretty well everything that should be | said has been said at one time or an- other or in one paper or another. About the only general summation would seem to be that every indication is the contest should be one of the greatest of the year, with two strong | elevens struggling on pretty close to | even terms for the mastery. Of course, an entirely different result may be the outcome, but certainly no other seems in_prospect. | _In general attractiveness, it is seldom | that any game in which Navy plays is | surpassed. Something zbout the Navy | adds a glamour to its gridiron struggles | that nothing else gives, except that the | Army presents the same kind of scene |on a little smaller scale. The Navy Band, the Maryland Band, numerous sidelights and ~ glamorous’ inciden people prominent in the public life of the Natfon, will b on the side lines to make as a whol> the most attractive and biggest gridiron combat the Na- tion’s Capital has known. EORGETOWN is at New Work for a game with New York University that bids fair to be played before “.he biggest crowd that any Georgetown eleven has ever had watch it play. It is thought that New York University has one of its best elevens, that George- town possesses @ _brilliant team, and consequently Gothamites are getting | ready to watch what they think should |be a greet contest. Coach Tom Mills BY H. C. BYRD. AVY and Maryland today hold the center of the foot .| said yesterday morning just before he |left that he felt his team has a fair | chance to win. Undoubtedly George- town is far better than last year and for one reason or another it always has besn able to give N. Y. U. a game to | remember. George Washington at_Boston Uni- | versity and American Vniversity at Hampden-Sydney are the other con- tests in which local schools take part | today. The Colonials ought to come | back with a scalp at their belts, as Bos- ton University has seldom been any great shakes on the gridiron. It will be something of a surprise if George Washington fails to win. American University, unless it shows far better form than a week ago, is pretty sure to | come back defeated. | ATHOLIC UNIVERSITY started on a scoring spree in the first quarter of its game with Gallaudet yester- day, kept it up until shortly after the second quarter began, then gave way to the second-string outfit, which kept up the point-getting. Any ordinary ac- count of the ganfe ought to_tell about the brilliant offense of the Brookland- ers, but after watching the play one | was more inclined to give credit to Gallaudet for being willing to take the field in a game in which it was so far outclassed in material and everything that goes to make up & foot ball team. The Kendall Greeners simply did not have the men to measure up to the Brookland eleven. Catholic University swept the ends, broke down the line, shot forward passes and succeeded easily in about everything it did. Gallaudet had some good tactical maneuvers, but they were useless without men capable of putting them through. Coach Teddy Hughes, if he wins any game with the material he now has, will be the fi'“"" coach in the world. At least, he should get more credit than any coach ever got. ‘The most miserable of Gallau- det's lay was its punting. got off by its backs hardly ever did more than cross the line of scrimmage. In the whole first half onlhudet'l Kkicks did not average more 8 or 10 yards, and that in lhulf would be enough to lose a fairly close contest. However, the co-ordination of the Catholic U. eleven demonstrated one thing—that Coach Dutch Bergman knew just what he was tl.lklni about at the beginning of practice whe: he sald he would have a much better tcam than last year.
