A‘S ARE GAME UP ON CARDS Aboard World series special K: route to Philadelphia, Oct. 7 (Ul’i 1 — The 1930 Wot Id series, which ut ’ first resembled a rout and Mince has developed Into quite a nlp-atid ba*tle for the championship of baseball, has reached the stag.' w.iete managerial stiatety In the flatter of selectlpg pitchers was scarcely of more value than a fifth t ame rain check. Here was ‘he situation on the eve of the sixth and possibly deciding came: The Philadelphia Athletics have won three games and the Cardinals two. The Madmen have Grove. Em? show. Walberg. Showers, Quinn ami Rommel!, the latter untired. Grove | won the opener although touched for nine hits, lost the fourth game ami flushed up the fifth, pitching two innings in which he allowed one hit. Ernshaw won the second game hardily and nit In; 1 seven innin.’ - yesterday. ' Walberg and Shores both were driven from the box in the third game ami Quinn is norp to starting a world series con-1 test. Hommel is an unknown quan-■ titv and likely to remain so. The Cardinals have Hallahan. I Haines. Grimes, Lindsev, Johnson. I and Uh mi. Hallahan shut out the' A’s in the third game and is rra *y to go tomorrow. Haines reit th*m easily in the fourth game, ad will he available Thursday if not nee led sooner. Grimes has Ist two games, but gave only five hits in . each, and wants another chance., Neither Lindsey or Johnson yielded ] a single hit in the five innings in which t'ey faced the A’s in Shite i Park. One would say that this gave the Cardinals a decided edge. Against th -t edge is the dulling fact that the Athletics are out in front and need but one game to clinch the cham j p'onshin, while the Cardinals ar" | under the strain of having to win I everything. For the game or games to come, : Cabby Street has available four pitchers who have yielded only one F’n among them in 23 innings of world series baseball against a club winch includes such sluggers asj Foxx. Cochrane, and Simmons. He j also has Grimes, who is quite likel" to make good his promise to beat the A’s. if the cards will go out and g >1 him a couple of runs. On the other hand, if looks as | though Mack must depend upon I Groves and Ernshaw. SEPIES HOLDS MANY THRILLS World Series Special enroute to Philadelphia Oct. 7—(UP)—Them [ was an intermission in the world series today while the two contend-] e-s travelled eastward to resume their battle in Philadelphia tomorrow. Ogie game ahead, the Philadelphia 'tliletic'- needed only a victory in the sixth game tomorrow to earn their world baseball championship. On« gam? down the St. 1 ouis CardIna's must win the next ‘wo games I t > regain the Laurels they held in i 1'126. The shifting tide of fortune in, th? present series lia-= added thrills I and ex- itement the nost-seasoa I nlay-off hasn't known in tour, long years. The Athletics swept through the[ first two games at Philadelphia, but the Cardinals staged a courageous comeback 'o even the series by taking the next two games at St. Lcni The series was tied and the fifth game was deadlocked until along came Jimmy Foxx. Pudgy-faced firs* baseman of the Athletics, in th” ninth inning and blasted one of Bur leich Grimes' curve Halls into the ’nrthest reaches of the left field bleachers, scoring Mi-itey Cochrane ahead of himself. Twice now the Athletics have won from Grimes on five hits, but the stout-hearted spit ball pitcher was far from a beaten figure as ho boasted. “ I'll beat 'em yet. and when it will hurt most is that seventh game.” A brief resume of the outstanding features of the five frames played f How: First game—Athletics 5 Carding's 2. I ong hits by the AthleticsHomers by Cochrane and Simmons. Trippies by Foxx and Haas and a double by Dykes—each of which accounted for a run. • Second game—Athletics 6, Cardinals 1.

Third game—Cardinals 5. Athletics o. Bill Hallahan’s groat pitching in the pinches and Jimmy Wilson’s inspiring catching on his entry in‘o the series. Fourth game —Cardinals 3, Athletics 1.

CARDS DEPEND ' ON HALLAHAN World serie- special enroute to I Philadelphia,'Oct.'? (UP) In the i days of our youth, when hall playlet’s had just discarded their mutton chop whiskers, but still spat on their hards and wore red flannel underwear, there was a popular son'- to I :e elfo.t that “H-A-douhle ! it-l-G-A-.X spellls Harrigan.” It bad quite a catchy tune, and ' went on to state that this Harrl- ' ran lad was: "Prould of all the Irish blood 'hat's in me. "Divil or man can say a word | agin me.” Now it may be that before the arrent world series, which is about [ to enter its sixth phase, passes i on to take its proper place in baseall lore, .he s ng birds of St. Louis ■ .vill ba p iraphrasing that ancient I l In honor c.f the snub nosed Freck- • I land boy an 1 bumming: ' II A lottbl -L-A-H-A-N spells i -In Jahan.” F r a; matters stand today, with i ho contending clubs traveling eastI ,■. art! sr- s me the series at Shlhe ! "ar. . about all that stands between I jibe St. Louis Cardinals and defeat j s sturdy y inns Bill Hallahan. With the Philadelphia Athletics leading, .hree games to two. "Wild | ' Bill." from Binghamton holds the ■ ! fate of the National League cham- 1 i _>ion« in his capable left hand. If he can hold the Mackmen to- | | norrow, as he did before a delighted' St. I oui - throng on Saturday, he I I will be worth all 'he songs in St. ! I Ixmisans' repertoire. It w ill be Hallahan for the Cards ] I omerrov. against which ever pitch | j »r Connie Mack elects to start. | j Once more the Irish boy from up- j I state New Yotk is called upon to] day lucid to tie- A's -Joliath A in ' ! he third game of the series, when i t seemed that nothing could avert 1 i mother to f such as National Lea- : | ; :e ciiampious have undergone tor] !'' e past three years. “Wild Bill,' ■ I belying his nickname with the cool- | ness of a veteran, shut out thej i '.lackmen with seven scattered hi'sl I beat then 5 to 0. and so discon, er-1 ed them* that they wound up hy : i coring only one run in 30 consecu I live innings. When the Athletics resumed scor- ' ng yesterday, however, they did, so with a crash and a bang. The] i crasls was the impact of Jimmy ] I Foxx s bat against the ball aad the I I ang was the collision between the I ball and a hastily vacated left field ; I bleacher seat. Until Foxx intruded, Burlei.gn Grimes had been splashing his spit; I >.ill pa--, the A's until he had thcifi yelling for life preservers. For tn- ] opposing camp. George Ernshaw i land Lefty Grove had been highly effective.

Decatur and Portland are fairly evenly matched. Portland has defeated Anderson. 7-6: Bluffton. 7-6 and Garrett. 13-6. The Panther team has a bevy of forward pass tricks and in t ; ght places the Portland aggregation cuts loose with a strong overhead offense. It was a forward pass that beat ] tnderson. a forward pass that beat i Bluffton and a forward pass that ; '---.-it Garrett So to stop Portland, h ■ big trick will be to develope i forward pass defense. The Yellow Jackets need fear no team through the line —it's the old air route that is worrvrome to the local team — and ih the next few days. . Coach Horton will attempt to make the Jackets air-minded.

And the a.'d die hards are disappointed again — What a shame the Cubs aren't playing some setup team like the Athletics. — ; All the thousands ot baseball : 'ans throughout the nation can ] rest and catch their breath today while the Cards and Athletics go ] to Philadelphia. — Next Saturday as a preliminary to the Decatur-Portland nrid encounter. the Sixth Street pang will play the West enders and South End team will meet the North End team —it’s a bunch of qame kids, these teams, and football fans will get a real thrill seeing them in action. With the baseball season over, local fans are loginning to already miss that famous voice of Pat Flannagan. VVBBM sports broadcaster-—Pat certainty made a lot of baseball interest around here this '-timnier and every afternoon he had hundreds of people neglecting their work to hear him describe the Cubs’ games, play by play. It won't be long now until basketball starts—The Commodores got started on drills last night and Coach George Laurent says he’s going to have a real outfit to work with. Around the last of this month when the Commodores get into action against Os-ian high school, we shouldn’t be a bit surprised to see Rev. Joseph Hession come rolling in— He was part of the Commodores for so long, that -we ; know he can’t shake us down so quick.
DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT TUESDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1930.
Footbawls received a couple of knockout blows from Monroe high school sport fans. Here's one: “Dear Footbawls: We read your 1 column daily and we wonder why we did not read anything pertaining to the Monroe Bearcats and Decatur Yellow Jacket indoor baseball game at M inroe last Wednes’ay. Oct. 1? We espeeialliy wonder why with the fine coaching of Steve Everhart, that Vernon Hill f. 11 asleep in right field while the Bcarcatz were scorching the race track? We also wondered why the] Yellow Jackets first team didn't play so the Bearcatz would have had a little stronger opposition. ' Piney Bryan. Monroe coach has done wonderful work witli the Bearcatz ard we feel that lie should be honored in your column for his work.” Yours. Bearcatz Boosters. That’s absolutely correct and there's another letter much to the same effect. I Footbawls tries to cover all athletic events in the county and print on the sport page an accurate account of the events — Now , anil then we fail —occasionally It's a basketball game, now and then a I aseball game — but Bearcatz. we're not trying to slight you and v. e didn't attempt to tlie time Monroe played Monmouth and beat them.
