Williams was on second, Cramer on first as Hallahan came in. The count reached three and two on Bishop as the crowd and players waited tensly. Hallahan shot a curve that the A’s second baseman caught and drove to- ward left-center. With the crack of the bat Martin was off and easily grabbed the ball for th: final putout. It was a fitting climax to a battle for base ball honors that surged back and forth in highly Gramatic fashion before these Cardinals finally broke down the rule of the Athletics after two triumphant years; ended the Amer- ican League's streak of world series triumphs at four straight; blasted Con- nie Mack’s dream of a record string of three conquests; brought the game’s highest honors to their grizzled pi'ot, Charles (Gabby) Street, at the close | of his second big league managerial year, and, for themselves, clinched the man. Million Dollar Series. Rightfielder George Watkins' home- run drive off Earnshaw turned out to be worth just about $45,000, represent- ing the aggregate difference between the winners’ and losers’ share of the financial spoils. It had looked earlier in the game as just as an extra meas- ure of triumph over the great right- hander, but as it turned out, it was the decisive stroke in furnishing the mar- gin of victory. The series closed as the first million dollar base ball big show in flve years, as the receipts for seven games totaled $1,030,723. 'The final turnout of only 20,805 cash customers, however, was the smallest in about 20 years, as was tne “gate” of only $82,165. It was particularly surprising, as Sportsman’s Park had been filled almost to its capac- ity of 40,000 for the sixth game yester- day, in which the Athletics squared the series with a one-sided victory. The Cardinal triumph was an upset to the “dcpe.” Earnshaw's previous mastery over the Cards had installed the A's as favorites to pull the series out of the fire. but the law of averages caught up with Big George, just as it had trapped Pepper Martin, the rookle sensation, who went hitless today for the second straight t'me. Fielders Aided Loss. Earnshaw was outpitched by Grimes, but the Athletics contributed to their own downfall in the first inning by poor defensive work. Shortstop Dib Wil- liams m'sjudged two pop flies at the outset off the bats of Andy High znd Gecrge Watkins. Both went for Texes Jeaguer singles, and the Cardinals took advantage of a wild pitch by Earnshaw and a bad throw by Jimmie Fox to push over their first two runs. Frisch sacrificed High to third #nd ‘Watkins to second as the Cards pressd their advantage. With Martin up, Earnshaw bore down too hard and a Jeose throw got away from Cochrane, permitting High to run home and Watkins to reach thira. The Pepper walked and stole second, | his fifth theft of the series, as the crowd yelled, Then Cochrane dropped the third strike on Ernest Orsatti, who was playing in place of Chick Hafey, | batting champion of the National League, but benched fcr the final game because of his light stickwork. High on Again. The A's backstop threw out Orsatti at first, but Watkins raced home 8&s Foxx's return throw was low and got away from Cochrane. Bottomley fanned for the end <f this rally. High, the substitute third sacker and lead-off man, who got three hits alto- | gether, started the third inning with a | Woods line single to center. Watkins then poled a fast ball over the roof cf the right-fleld pavilion. The Cerds collected only four hits <ff Earnshaw and one off Walberg in the eighth, but they made them count. Earnshaw didn't sllow a hit, issue a pass or permit another man to reach first after Watkins’ clrcuit drive. He mowed 15 Red Birds down in order be- fore he retired after the seventh for a pinch hitter. He fanned seven, including Orsatti three times and Bottomley twice, but this effectiveness came too late to save the ball game. ] Showed Liitle Punch. Led by Bing Miller, who rapped out thres of the seven hits off Grimes, the 's made comparatively few scoring stures. Simmons and Miller singled with oBly onc out in the second, Miller and Williams did the same thing in the £th, but Grimes was invincible. Earn- shaw was permitted to hit in the pinch, in the fifth, and bounced int> a double play. Miller's third strike wds wasted in the nth, sandwiched with three strikeouts. and the A’'s didn’t show much punch even when they chances to capitalize Grimes' wildness in the last two innings. St. Louis Goes Wild, UThe rejoicing of the people of Israel n David knocked out the Philistine heavy-weight Goliath must have been pale and silent compared to the cele- bration put on by St. Louis’ jubilant Xx;s tonight after the Cardinals won the title. After the crowd’s initial outburst when its hero, “Pepper” Martin, caught the last fly, there was a lull for several hours—the 'lull before the storm. At nightfall pandemonium broke loose and the downtown streets became canyons of deafening reverber:tions as automobile Rorns blared, exhausts back- fired and shouting and din combined to make a continuous roar. Tire rims were dragged on the streets, tin pans were beaten into wrinkles howling groups raced up and down the streets in a jubilant release of emotion which followed the tense days of the series. And so on far into the night. Maryland rushline was particularly | effective in the second half when it | checked drive after drive launched by | the Midshipmen and the forwards also | were clever at sifting through to harrass | the Annapolis passers. ‘ Ray Poppelman, fullback, and Woods, quarterback, were quite prominent in the Maryland attack. When they hit the Navy line, and they did so often, they hit hard, and between them they sicked up many yards. Paul Kiernan, | w8 got into the Old Line backfield | after Bozey Berger was hurt, also did some flashy playing in the last period. | | “Navy's line was aggressive, but it | lacked the power and finesse of the ‘Mnrylnnd forward wall. Outside cf Navy's big drive, late in the first and early in the second periods, it rarely | | gave its ball carriers good starts. That was due mainly, however, to the flerce charging dbne by the Marylanders. | They generally had the jump on the | Midshipmen and were waiting for the | lrum-ner coming up to the scrimmage ine. | Harvey Tschirgl in the game through- | | out most of the first half proved a bril- | liant ball carrier for the Midshipmen. | It was Tschirgi who gained more yard- | age than any other Navy toter of the | pigskin. He was given the ball in | virtually every offensive play the Mid- shipmen made in the first two periods | and he reeled off several long runs. But Tschirgl wore quickly and after his departure Navy had no runner able to gain consistently. Chalmers’ Punting Great Aid. i A great factor in Maryland’s favor was Chalmers’ fine punting. More often | than not he booted the ball over the head of the Navy safety, adding many | yards to his efforts with long rolls. | Only one really poor punt was made by | Chalmers. When standing behind his | own goal he punted across the wind in | the fourth period. The ball went out of bounds at Maryland's 20-yard line to give the Midshipmen a fine break; but they were unable to take advantage of it. Campbell did most of Navy's kicking and though he got off several nice ones | he was far from being a Chalmers. However, Maryland's punt receivers at times helped Campbell when they | scemed ball-shy, stabbing at the pig- | skin feebly to let it bound by. | | Each side rolled up ten first downs |and Navy got more yardage than | ‘M&ryllnd by rushing, but this excess | was ‘the result largely of several spec- | tacular_runs by Tschirgi early in the | fray. The Maryland ball carriers were | much_more consistent in their efforts | than Navy's. The teams were hit al- most evenly by penalization, Mary- land being set back 50 yards and | Navy 55. | Both sides took to the air, Navy do- i ing the most passing. The Midshipmen | tossed nineteen times and completed five | passes for a gain of 33 yards. Mary- |land made ten passes and completed | (Continued on Third Page.)

T. LOUIS, October 10.—“I have just realized the ambition of my life.” It was Gabby Street, grizzled managef of the victorious St. Louis Cardinals, speaking. Street, now 49 years old, had won his first world base ball champlonship after a quarter of a century in the game, and he was so happy that he was on the verge of tears. Street rushed into the Cardinals’| dressing room to congratulate his play- | ers, but before he could complete the round of handshaking he was rushed to the microphone. “Hello, Sally Lou and Sonny Boy, down there in Joplin,” he said. “Daddy kept his promise and is bringing the world’s championship to you tomorrow morning.” ‘That message was for his little 4-year- old daughter and his 7-year-old son, Charles E. Street, jr. Then the Cardinal manafer turned | to newspaper men: “Greatest Day in My Life.” “I am the happiest man in the world,” he began. 'his is the greatest day of my life. T've always wished I could manage & world championship ball club, but I didn't think I could do it at my age. ‘Pitching was the turning mmz. We had the better equipped pitching staff, and we beat a great ball club. “With the exception of the sixth game, my team played hends-ur base ball. We went out to win as fast as we could, and it proves the strength of the club we had to lick when they carried us to seven “The best pitched in by Grimes and was the outstanding pitcher, in my mind, because of his ability to come back after being hurt in the first game. {ll}h!un pitched two marvelous vic- ories. “Pepper Martin, of course, was the outstanding fielder. His work was the inspiration that carried us through. All the infielders played great ball, and I'm particularly proud of Andy High, who filled in for Adams at third. “The umpiring was good and bad in spots. Bill Klem, however, worked per- fectly in every game. He's the best umpire in the major leagues. Mack Sends Congratulations. “So long, boys, and thanks.” With that Gabby rushed into the room where the jubilant Cards, singing and yelling, were pulling off their uniforms for a duck under the showers. Eddie Collins, first lieutenant to Connie Mack, rushed in carrying congratulations from the 68-year-old leader of the conquered Athletics. H2 was followed by Kenesaw Mountain Landis, commissioner of base ball; John A. Heydler, president of the Na- tional League; Branch Rickey, vice president and guiding genius of the Cardinals, and a flock of others. ““The best club won,” said Collins as hs gripped Street in a hearty hand- shake. “Mr. Mack sent me over to tell e | you that. My sincere congratulations.” Mack had remained in the American League offices at Sportsman's Park to grect newmrer men instead of going over personally to extend his congratu- lations to Street. Burleigh Grimes, the 38-year-old spitball campaigner, said he pitched the game of his life to win that cham- plonship. He declared he was not tired in the eighth, when Hallahan first be- but explained he That's why he stalled so much. “I'had a hard time with those boys,” he beamed. “They're great hitters.

The fond dream of Connie Mack of becoming the only manager to win three successive world championships wase shattered, and the tall leader of the A’s felt a bit downhearted about it. “I am sorry to the series, not so much on my own account as on ac- count of my players, my league and because I am a loyal Philedelphian and wished to take a third successive werld serles back to that city,” he said.

EW YORK, October 10.— Georgetown University's | today when the Violets inflicted one of the most decisive defeats in Hoya foot ball history. The including a host of Georgetown's Washington supporters, saw the rout in Yankee Stadium. How much the loss by injury of its flashy fullback, Wilmer Bradley, on the eve of battle and the near inca- pacitation of several other dables may have affected the outcome must ever remain a matter of conjecture, but the fact remains that Georgetown received a licking today that in all de- tails was a masterpiece. Big and powerful in proportion, versatile _and smart, the Violets crossed Georgetown’s goal line five times for touchdowns and every one was earned, albeit among them was one the like of which seldom has been witnessed. It was scored on a forward pass and a double fumble with a 15- yard sprint at the finish. At no time was the New York University goal in serious danger, but never once did the Blue and Gray give up striving reach it. All but exhausted from resisting the never-ceasing pounding of the greatest backfield New York University has known, the Hoyas were in there fighting at the finish.

The Violets got the ball at that point by recovering Donoghue's fumble. Bob McNamara and Lamark made most of the gains, reeling off the yardage by tens and twelves, with a five-yarder now and then. When the ball finally was taken over from the 1-yard line by Abee it was the first time in four years the Violets had been able to score a touchdown against the Blue and Gray. New York won with a safety last year, was beaten in 1929 by two touchdowns and in 1928 was defeated by 7-0 by Ken Provincial's famous run after recovering a fumble. two wins each.

With the University of Georgia, which defeated Yale today; Carnegie Tech, | Colgate, Oregon and Fordham among its remaining foes, New York U. has the opportunity to look in on the na- tional championship. Quarterback Lamark was the spear- head of attack in the second touch- down, with this drive also starting from the 50-yard line. The general tossed a 20-yard pass to the big-handed Hug- ret and gained most of the remaining 30 yards to the goal.

About half that distance was eaten up by Lamark’s aerial to Bob McNamara, who a moment later added a 30-yard run for the score. Hugret's oddity was the fourth marker and the. fifth in the closing period was largely the handiwork of Bob McNamara, who pulled a 25-yard sprint. Once again the ubiquitous Lamark had a share.

BY PAUL MICKELSON, Aseociated Press Sports Writer, OLDIER FIELD, Chicago, Oc- tober 10.—Rain, mud and a great Northwestern team conspired to stop Notre Dame’s famous victory march of foot ball at 20 straight conquests before an excited throng of 75,- 000 spectators at Soldier Field to- day. The “fighting Irish,” carrying on for their departed Knute Rockne, weren't beaten in their valiant bid to establish a new winning streak but were held to a scoreless tie, a result which was almost as precicus to the white shirted giants from Northwestern. Of the two teams, evenly matched in all departments, but stopped by the almost constant deluge which churned the battlefield into a veritable quagmire, it was Northwestern which came the closest to victory—not Notre Dame. Twice in Goal's Shadow. Twice, the Wildcats marched, on the break of fumbles, to within the shadows of the Notre Dame goal line {only to be turned back. Once, the | Wildcats hammered through to the Notre Dame four-yard line only to miss their first down by the heart- breaking margin of one foot. A few to | minutes later, in the same second pe- riod, they rushed to the five-yard stripe only to see their golden ocpportunity float away on an incompleted pass over the goal lme. The Northwestern 20-yard line was the limit of the Notre Dame foot ball travels today. Three times, the “fight- ing Irish” got fo that point—once when Hoffmann smashed through to block Ollie Olson’s kicks; again When the Irish clicked off a pretty lateral offensive with Mike Koken and big mmmlfl!lmkovlch. substitute backs, g the carrying, and again when Olson's punt popped up in the air'and landed dead on his cwn 20-yard marker. But they could budge the Wildcat line no farther. 19 Funmbles Mar Game Nineteen fumbles marred the game and gave the two teams chances during the frenzied battle for that precious toudhdown, but the punting duel be- tween March Schwartz and Olson made spectators forget about those mistakes. The two, realizing the game might be wen or lost on the break of a fumble, kicked frequently and thrilled the rain- soaked throng. Despite the wet, muddy ball, and the treacherous greensward, these two punters sent the oval on its way with remarkable accuracy and dis- tance.
