En route to Philadelphia from St. Touis, Oct. 7 (P—The Athletics of Philadelphia and Cardinals of St. TLouis today were well on their way back to Philadelphia to resume their world’s series battle tomorrow in the American league grounds. Both teams had reason to be satis- fied with their three day stay in tional league territory. The Cardi- nals won two games to get them back in the series, while the Ath- letics captured the final clash in Missouri in a thrilling battle pitchers and started home a game rahead and only one decision away trom another world's championship. The Cardinals left late Thursday night two games be- hind the Athletics and they return only one in arrears, but still task is harder. In a golf match the holes eventually run out, and this is all in favor of the played ahead. The | Athletics have to win only one more . to repeat their 1929 triumph and win the supreme praise of Connie Mack as a “great team.” The Cardinals must win two straig .. Manager Mack today forecast of the ultimate series except to say that faith in his “boys. ., “That was a great our stay in St. Louis,” said the vet- eran manager, “a game of superb pitching, and certainly it must have “been a very interesting one to watch, “even though the re: \ul! of course, did not please our St. Louis friends. The “gabby gr-m‘ml of the Car-| dinals, the weather beaten Charles Street, as always, was optimistic to- d “We can win made no end of the he had game closing 1 two straight from * the Athletics,” he said, “and this we ‘will do. We have done it already in this series and we can do it again, ‘of that T am positive.” The final game in St. Louis, won 210 0 by the Athletics in the ninth | .inning when Jimmy Foxx drove a| home run high and far into the left fleld bleacher seats among & group| of disgusted customers, was a grip- ping struggle. ¥or seven innings the 37 year old Burleigh Grimes, a courageous, cagey pitcher, and George shaw, younger and bigger, craftier, battled on even terms. The day was dark, low ceiling and rain threatening | throughout, and all in all it was a| pitchers' day if cver there was a world's series stage set with scenery .dnade to order for the sharpshooters | .on the mound. Burleigh threw his famou: ters,” mixing enough fast ball curves with them to prevent the A" getting “set,” while Earnshaw had a fast one, a curve, and a half speed | ball that baffled the Cardinals. In the eighth inning Earnshaw | moved out of the picture to mak; way for a pinch hitter. The honors were even with his rival for each had allowed two hits in seven chuk- Lers. The pinch hitter got on, but in spite of the partial success of the Mackian strategy, Grimes pitched | himself out of this hole. | Leity Grove, the speed ball king of the A's came in to succeed Earn- ¢haw and as he held the Cardinals junless during the eighth and ninth innings and as the pitcher of record when Foxx hit for the circuit he was credited with the victory. This was | compensation for a game he saved for Earnshaw in the last world's| series, when the big righthander un- | der the scoring rules was credited with the victor: Not since the third game 1923 series between the but no scoreless | the | York Giants and New York Yankees, when | of New, Arthur Nehf blanked the Yankees 1 10 0, has a game been played in the classic with so little scoring. Oddly enough that game, ton, was decided by & home run. a piodigious clout {rom the bat of Casey Stengel break- ing it up. In the sixth game series, Tom Zachary, a lef hander | still going strong, bettered Nehf of the Giants in a game won by Wash- mgton 2 to 1 and Herb Pennock de- feated Wee Willic Sherdel 2 to 1 in the opening game of the 1926 series between the Yankees and the Car- dinals. Bach of the ee pitchers yester- day took full advantage of the poo visibility and in the pinches bore | down with their high, hard ones. Cochrane singled with two out in the first, but Al Simmons, who could get the ball out of the infield only| once during the game, popped to Gelbert. Adams singled with one out | in the first for the Cards but re- | mained at first to see the side r...‘ of 1924 the ~tired. There was no more hitting until lthe fifth when Foxx opened with a single. It did his side no good for Miller rolled to Adams and started a fast double play.

It was Earnshaw's time to bat, but George of Swarthmore is a far better pit- cher than batsman, so Jim Moore, a Texas league rccruit, was named to go to bat. Grimes 100k no chances on Moore. He was determined that he would not give him a good ball to hit for a safety, or even to drive J‘n long fly to the outficld, for it was evident by this time that in all | probability” one run would win the | ball game.

Specialists have an- nounced that an eye infection will keep the big back idle for at least two weeks and possibly for the en- tire football season. A scrimmage, one of two sched- uled for this week, was on today's program for the Elis as they con- tinued to prepare for Saturday's game with Georgia. It is likely that Coach Mal Stevens will polish up Yale's defense against the forward pass during the week as a safeguard against an aerial attack similar to that used so effectively by Maryland last week. With the promotion of six second string men yesterday, Yale's varsity squad was increased to 33 players. Another Yale football squad was to begin dally practice sessions to- day. Athletic officials have decided to put a varsity 150 pound team on the gridiron this season and are ar- ranging a four game schedule with Harvard as one of the opponents. Herb Miller, a back on last year's varsity squad -vill coach this team. Yale and Princeton Seek Revenge New York, Oct. 7 (A—Two mem- bers of ‘the one.time “Big Three” will be out for football revenge this Saturday, and they may get it. Harvard has no hard feeling against Springfield college, but both Yale and Princeton hope to gain satisfaction for reverses they suf- fered a year ago. Tuss McLaughry’s Brown Bears were the perpetrators of the first of a serles of disasters that overtook Princeton last year, winning a spec- tacular battle, 13-12. Whether Bill Roper's men can beat the Bruins (his time remains to be scen, but | Tiger adherents took some comfort out of Princeton's showing against the strong Amherst eleven in the opening game last week. As for Yale, the Elis bowed to Georgia in the south last year, 15-0, but there is every indication that the tables will be turned at the Yale Bowl on Saturday. Mal Stevens has rounded out a fine team at New Haven this year, with plenty of good, fast backs. Georgia also is strong, but the odds seem to favor the men in blue. Vying for popular favor with the Yale-Georgia battle, will be Carne- |&ie Tech’s duel with Georgia Tech |at Pittsburgh. This looks like a toss up, as does New York Univer- sity's clash with - Villanova. Col- gate's high-powered offensive should take care of Lafayette -with comi- parative ease for the Leopards do not look nearly so powerful as usual this year. Syracuse also will be heavily favored over Rutgers which already has bowed to Providence. Watwood in Hospital With Skull Fracture Chicago, Oct. 7 (A — While his teammates dispersed to their sever- al homes today, Johnny Watwood, ‘White Sox centerfielder, settied down for a three week stay in a hospital to recover from a blow on the head trom qne of Pat Malone's fast balls Sunday. It was not believed Watwood was seriously injured when he was car- ried from Wrigley fleld. An X.ray examination, however, revealed a three inch fracture of the skull, on the right side, just above the ear. ‘Watwood said he was certain Ma- lone had not intentionally “dusted” him, saying that he had “lost” the ball against the moving background of fans in the center field overflow crowd. MAPLE ENDS PLAY NIGHT FOOTBALL Bristol Team Batles Manchester Majors at Hurley Stadium The first night football in Con- necticut will be inaugurated tomor- row night at the Hurley stadium in East Hartford when the Majors of Manchester will play the Maple Ends of Bristol. That the Majors will be in the big time class this year is' indicated from the manner in which the man- agement is building up the team. Tasker, who played with the New Britain professional team, is one of the men signed. Four members of last year's Hartford Giant team have been signed. They are Piscusesi. Scully, Sheehan and Leo Fisher. The last named player is very fast and caused New Britaln no end of trouble in last year's games. To make the event official, Mayor Batterson of Hartford will kick off and Mayor Rogers of Manchester will receive the kick, Mayor Crumb has been invited and it is expected that he will accompany the Bell City team. High school coaches and the management of many of the leading semi-professional teams in the state have becn invited to tend. On October 12, the New Britain Tlues v:ill play the Majors at Hicliey Grove in Manchester. If the weather i» not favorable tomorrow night the contest will be postponed until the following night. The lineups follow: Carthy and Crockett, ends; Casco and Conroy, tackles; Sheehan and Scully, guards; Vendillo, center; Fisher, quarterback; Fiele and Tas- ker, halfbacks; and Miske, fullback; Maple Ends, Smelter and Santanel. lo, ends: Swift and Hugret, tackles; Bayer and Munn, guards; Blashke, center; Hare, quarterback; G. and P.

Chicago, Oct. 7 (#—On the flag- pole at Wrigley fleld where the 1929 National league championship floated during the recent season, the 1930 Chicago city title banner will fly next year. The Cubs yesterday finished the task of retaining the title when they won from the White Sox in 1928, by taking their fourth victory in six games, 6 to 4, by an old-fashioned ninth inning rally. After gaining a two run lead ia the fifth, the Cubs saw the Sox tie it up and go out in front in the sixth. Rogers Hornsby's men tied it again in the eighth, but the stub- born Sox again took the lead in the same inning. The Cubs finally got organized and cracked Garland Braxton for three runs in the ninth to win the game and series. It was the Cubs' sixth champion- ship out of 17 series, with one hav- ing been tied and the other ten be- longing to the White Sox of other days. The series drew a total attend- ance of 162,918 paid, with receipts of $187,647. Each club and several others connected with the club, as well as Joe McCarthy, former mana- ger of the Bruins, recelved $1,- 235.71, while active White Sox players and others got $796.34 cpiece.
