In only one game was the losing team able to score more than one run and in the opening battle only a scant two runs fell to the lot of the vanquished. Before the series started close ob- servers of the pitching strength of the Athletics suggested that the ven- erable Connie Mack would have to | depend on his two stars, the left- | handed Robert Moses Grove and the right-handed George Livingston Earnshaw to bring home the bacon The four Philadelphia victories | were equally divided between the | pair of aces, cach officlally credited with winning two, Grove was charg @d with a defeat while Earnshaw record escaped unmarred.

Frank Frisch, veteran Cardinal second baseman led on the positive side as he collected five hits in the | six games to set a new total series record of 45 safe blows. He tied the old record of 42, made by Eddie Collins in six world's scries for the Athleti and White Sox, in the first game, then cracked out three more blows. Frisch also has par- ticipated in sfx series. The former rdham flash fell below the .300 marl for the series, however, dropped his all-time average championship play to .324 348, from Five Doubles for Hafey Right behind Frisch, his team- mate, Chick Hafey, set a new mark by slashing out five two base hits, one higher than the total which formerly gave a large group of players a tie for the record. The Athletics set a mark of a new kind when they went through two games without getting a one base hit, all their blows going for extra bases. in the first clash, they made five long hits and in the last seven ex- tra base wallops, in each case they scored a run for every hit. The A's also put their great lead- | er, Connie Mack, still farther ahead of all Major League managers in getting results with his clubs. Un- der his guidance, Philadelphia ha won five World championships, d has lost in the World's series only twice. John McGraw New York Giants to thre World's titles in nine attempts while the New York Yankees unde Miller Huggins also won three times. Few Assists Made On the low side of the record breaking, performances of the clubs on assists stood out. In the second geme of the serics, the Cardinals had only four assists, one under the former low mark made Yankees, while the Athletics had fhve setting a new low record for both teams. Three days later, in the fourth game, the Athletics re- corded only thrce assists, breaking the record. They also equalled the low mark in base steal- ing as a theft by Frank Frisch was the only one for the series. Last vear the Athletics failed to steal a base and the Cubs pilfered only one.y Among the near records, the Ath- letics feat of getting 77 bases on their 35 hits is about the closest thing to a new mark. Other teams have made 2 good many more total bases on their World series hits but on so few blows. George Earnshaw, the serics hero, fanned 15 men in three games, threaten- ing the record of strikeouts made by Joe Wood of the Boston Red Sox | in 1912 and Jim Bottomley came close to another mark when he struck out nine times, one below eorge Kelley's “goat” mark made in 1921, List of Leaders The list of series leaders follow: Batting—Simmons, Athletics .400 Runs—Bishop, Athletics; Coch rane, Athletics 3 3 Hits—Simmons, Athletics Doubles—Hafey, Cardinals .... 6 Triples, Foxx and Haas, Athletics, and Gelbert, Cardinals Home runs—Cochrane, Athletics Simmons, Athletics ......

He is George Livingston Earn- shaw, New Yorker by birth, Phila- delphian by adoption and achieve- ment, alumnus of Swarthmore col- lege and right-handed “iron man" pitching ace of the world's cham- plon Athletics. Earnshaw is 30 years old now, long past the day when he used to hear the old college cheers, but he still parts his hair in the middle and looks the part of an under- graduate. He was a great footbail player as well as a star pitcher in college. He now is the greatest right handed “iron man” in baseball and entitled to rank with such fam- ous old time stars as Joe McGinnity, Colby Jack Combs and Big Ed Walsh. Finishes Series Himself After sharing the pitching “hig act” with his teammate and co-star, Moses Grove, most of the way, Earnshaw wound up in a blaze of pitching glory by hurling 16 of the last 18 innings for the A’s. Earn- shaw broke up what was expected to be a repetition of the fifth game “act” with Grove by sticking till the last man was out, even though it was a struggle, while Grove contin- ued to make gestures in the bull pen. Earnshaw, altogether, pitched 25 innings against the Cardinals in three games, beat them twice and held them scoreless for the first sev- en innings of the game, which Grove finished in St. Louis and re- of the A's held 22 innings in a row, which in a day and age featured by the so-called “jack rab- bit” ball, stands comparison with the remarkable record of Christy Mathewson in pitching 27 successive shutout innings against the Athletics in 1905. Betters Mathewson's Mark Mathewson allowed 14 hits in the three shutout games he pitched against the Mackmen of 25 years ago. FEarnshaw gave out only 13 The “big moose” Grove, who scored two victories against one defeat, pitched a total of 19 innings, during which tims the Cardinals collected 14 hits and five runs. Only three of these runs, however, were earned, the other two being due to an error by Dykes. Simmons and Foxx Star Al Simmons was the most consist- ent of the Athletics at bat, hitting safely in five of the six games as he lived up to the best traditions of the league's batting king, leading the regulars of both teams with the stick. Simmons had the long range however, at various times from Cochrane, and Foxx, as well as Dykes and Miller, who staged hitting comebacks in the final gama. Foxx struck the most potent and important single blow, when he fired his home run into the St. Louls stands in the ninth inning to de- cide the critical fifth game. Gelbert Best For Cards | For the Cardinals, 22 year old Charley Gelbert, appearing in his first world series, was a sensation at spectacular heights in the two vic- tories scored by the Red Birds to even the series at St. Louis. He led the Cardinal regulars at bat and handled 28 chances without a slip- up in six games, making a number of sensational plays on ground balls.

Bottomley probably has played his last game in a St. Louis uniform, the general expectation be- ing that he will be traded before another season rolls around. Bottomley’s Catch Best Three great fielding plays stood out. Perhaps the most spectacular was Bottomley's one-handed catch of Foxx's foul, as he leaned far into the temporary fleld boxes for the ball in the third game. Max Bish« op's fine running catch of Douthit's short fly in the fourth game, tak« ing the ball over his shoulder on the dead run, and Frank Frisch's amazing stop and throw out of Mickey Cochrane in the final game were the other sparkling defensivel contributions. A's Hits of Long Type The series was remarkable, too, for the effectiveness and long range of the Athletics’ hitting in all of the games they won. In the first two contests at home, the A's mades every one of their 12 hits figure in producing 11 runs. After a lapse, they won their next game on a pass and Foxx's homer—"two for one.” Then in the last battle, the world’s champions scored seven runs on seven hits, all for extra bases, beating the record they set in ths opener by tallying five runs on five extra base drives. There were a (o~ tal of eight home runs, six by the A’s and two by the Cards, but only twice were men on bases when these circuit clouts were delivered. These were the drives by Foxx and Dykes. Simmons and Cochrane, with two homers each, led the list. Douth- it and Watkins contributed the home runs for the Cards. SIMMONS LEADS BATTERS OF SERIES CONTENDERS Athletics' Left Fielder Hits For .368 —Only He, Foxx and Gelbert Above .300 Mark Philadelphia, Oct. 9 (UP) — Al Simmons, Athletics left fielder, was the leading batsman in the world series with an average of .363 for the six games. Simmons went to bat 22 times, getting eight hits, two of which were home runs. The only other Philadelphia player to hit..300 or better was Jimmy Foxx, first baseman, who ended tha series with an average of .333. Charley Gelbert, shortstop, led the Cardinals at bat with an average of .353. He was the only St. Louis player to hit better than .300.
