Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS

CHICAGO. Oct. 9. r)R the time being, this column will say very little about that lellow Hornsby and the Cubs . . . Cornelius McGilllcuddy pulled one for the book Tuesday, when he reach<*- H over and extricated a lean and melancholy looking individual by the name of Howard Ehmke from the club house waste basket and set him in motion in the first game of the world series. Practically everybody in the stands had forgotten that McGillicuddy had an employe by the name of Ehmke on his staff, and when he was announced as the starting pitcher some of the younger generation of experts began to inquire who he was, what he d:d and whether he belonged to the mae. female or neutral gender. a a a MeGllUrudS* b% yra '•/“ ' F d * b '! nitrhln* which Include Gror*. tarn ah i w Walberr Rommel nd Guinn.

N. Y. He went about the business of turning the National League champions back with all the nonchalance and indifference of a Kansas congressman picking his teeth in a wayside station. He seemed utterly without emotion. He would amble out to the box and stand with his hands on his hips while the infield shuttled the ball back and forth.

Tuesday Defeat Fails to Dim Faith of Cub Fans in Home Idols

Notre Dame Heals Breach With Huskers . Nebraska, Former Grid Rival, Guest of Ramblers at Dinner. ' Hy l nited Press SOUTH BEND, Ind., Oct. 9.—The belief that hard feelings exist be- ! tween football teams of Notre Dame ! and Nebraska was dispelled today with the announcement that the Comhuskers will be guests of the Fighting Irish here Thursday. The two teams will sit at dinner together Thursday and the Huskers will use Cartier field for practice in preparation for their game Saturday with Syracuse in the east. The Nebraskans are en route to New York and their stop here is of particular importance in view of the fact that in 1925 the schools severed athletic relations that had stood for many years. "Bitter feeling" was allegedly the cause of the rupture. The last time the Huskers played on Cartier field was in 1924, when they were humbled by Rockne's famous “four horsemen." Pennsy Workers to View Battle of Rail Outfits Approximately 500 employes of the Indianapolis terminal and local division of the Pennsylvania railroad, headed by the employes’ band, will leave here on a special train at 8 a. m.

Chicago Rooters Pull for So-Called Sluggers to ‘Do Something.’ GIVE EHMKE CREDIT Teams Go to Philly After Today’s Tilt. . BY MERTON T. AKERS United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Oct. 9.—Chicago fandom moved out *o Wrigley field again today with blood in its eye, demanding as rei.ibution that its idols, the Chicago Cubs, unlimber their “murderer's row" bats and defeat the Philadelphia Athletics In the second world series game of 1929. The 3 to 1 defeat at the hands of Howard Ehmke and Connie Mack's strategy Tuesday rankled with the followers of the national game, for they had come to believe that their north side ball club was invincible. Today they swore vengeance, took extra supplies of throat lozenges to j the park early and prepared to | cheer their favorites to victory. Leave Tonight On all lips was the hope and prayer that Rogers Hornsby, Hack Wilson and Kiki Cuyler would get back their batting eyes today and pound out a victory, preferably with home runs, before the teams leave tonight for three games in Philadelphia. There was little doubt that another 50,740 army of fans would trickle into the huge green stands before the umpires growled out “Play ball" at 1:30 p. m. Another line of bieacherites was on hand early Tuesday night, waiting to get into the 10,000 $1 seats that were thrown open early on a grab-bag basis. Long rated over the nation as rabid and even pugnacious in .their j support of the Cubs, Chicago fans , so far have shown nothing but the. greatest respect and appreciation of the American League champions’ baseball ability. Cheering always for their heroes, they also dealt out large measures of praise today for Ehmke and his teammates. Ehmke Cheered Defeat in the first game was largely due to the pitching ability of Ehmke, a last minute choice as far as the crowd was concerned although they knew not what schemes were hatching under the j silver thatch of Connie Mack these j weeks when it was certain the Ath- j letics would play the Cubs for the j title. • When the lanky, loose-jointed Ehmke mowed down the best hitters in the Cub lineup and set anew series record of thirteen strikeouts, at first the 50,000 were mute with astonishment. Then as it dawned upon them that their "murderer’s row” had met its maich, for the day at least, they screamed approval at Ehmke as he shuffled to the dugout and to the plate. When Hornsby fanned and Wilson followed suit, admiration mingled with disappointment in the noise that 9tose from the ring of humanity. Free Advice Ceases Early in the game when it appeared that the Cubs would push across the winning runs, a great deal of “bleacher management” was forthcoming each time the Cubs went to bat, but as it got chillier for the spectators and grayer for the Cubs’ prospects, the chatter of advice to Joe McCarthy and William Wrigley ceased and the cheering came for Ehmke and Jimmy Foxx, his teammate who made the only home run. All that, however, was past history for those who let their work go today to indulge in their favorite pastime. The morning sun from out of Lake Michigan brought anew day and new hopes that the Cubs would bat out one victory and not keep the city on edge until next Wednesday when both teams come here again—if the Athletics don’t get into the American League habit of the last two years of winning four straight.

With Rivals Keyed to Face Fast Ball Pitching, Connie Crosses Up Entire Scheme Cubs Were Fed Up Expecting Speed, Mack Says, and So I Tossed in Ehmke, With Something Different; Breaks Series Strikeout Record. BY BILLY EVANS CHICAGO, Oct. 9.—Connie Mack, in the opening game of the series, pulled the unexpected against the Cubs, as he often has done during the regular season against the rest of the Amerciai. League. He pitched

Howard Ehmke, just about the last man in the world the experts and Joe McCarthy had expected. All that Ehmke did to justify the confidence cf his manager, was pitch one of the greatest games that ever has ben hurled \n a world series. On the eve of the first game Mack had given considerable thought to using the veteran Jack Quinn, one of the few surviving spkballers in the majors. The great success Burleigh Gr.' rites of Pittsburgh has had against the Cubs, caused Mack to lean towards Quinn. The statisticians had advised Connie that not in seven starts had the Cubs been able to trim Grimes. However, when it came time for the pitchers to warm up. Mack set the fifty thousand customers agog by sending Ehmke to the rubber for a ten minute workout, prior to the call of play.

It was the greatest upset ever handed the pre-series dope. I doubt if few other managers in baseball would have done as did Mack when

he announced Ehmke as his pitching selection. However, Mack has

the courage of convictions. He also had several very definite reasons for his decision which favored Ehmke as the starting pitcher. “Ever since it was certain that the Athle ti cs would play the Cubs in the world series,” said Mack after the

game, “the Cubs have been listening to stories about the terrific speed possessed by my three pitching aces, Grove, Walberg and Earnshaw. In like manner, I was told that my’ southpaws didn’t have a chance and that the Cubs just doted on speed, either the right or left handed variety. “I felt that a pitcher of the Ehmke type, who has a deceptive side arm curve and a dazzling change of pace, would be just the man to upset the Cubs, who for over a month have been fed up on a speed diet. I was positive Ehmke could do it if he had his control. He did and that is the whole story.’’ Thus, a second string twirier becomes one of the two heroes of the opening game. Jimmy Foxx is entitled to a fifty-fifty break, for it was his home run that put the Athletics in front after six scoreless innings. Erratic play by Shortstop English of the Cubs figured in the other two runs scored by the Mackmen. Half Speed Curve Ehmke pitched a truly remarkable game. He used a half speed side arm curve that had the great sluggers of the Cubs bewildered and often with the count three and two he would use a deceptive change of pace that completely baffled the National League champions. In winning the opening game. Ehmke established anew strikeout record by setting down thirteen of the Cubs on strikes. In making

Heart Fails as Tolson Fans Bv United Press Chicago, oct. 9.—it was the ninth inning, two were out and the Cubs’ last chance was Tolson, batting for Bush. Ralph A. Werthein, prominent in Masonic circle, followed each play by radio as he sat in his home. j “Hit it—sock that ball,” he pleaded. “Toison struck out. Philadelphia wins,” came from the loud speaker. k Werthein slumped from the chair dead. His heart had failed under the strain.

this new record, Ehmke did the unusual by fanning Pinch Hitter Gabby Hartnett as the twelfth victim and ended the game by whiffing Tolson, another pinch hitter for a new record, while two Cubs were waiting on the sacks to cross the piate with the runs that would have tied up the game. Ehmke’s epic feat was studded with several gems of pitching. In the third, with runners on second and third with only one down, he fanned the great Hornsby and the equally dangerous Wilson on eight pitched balls. On two occasions he set the side down on strikes, and once he fanned five in a row.

Dykes’ Snare on Steve Aid to Athletics Simmons’ Great Catch Also of Importance’; Wilson's Dive Worth Notice. BY BABE RUTH CHICAGO, Oct. 9.—lt takes no deep insight and no great baseball knowledge to find the high lights in that first game of the world series. It was simply a case of a great ball club, aided by phenomenal pitching, beating a great ball club that had pitching almost as good, but not quite. Howard Ehmke was great Tuesday—the greatest I ever have seen him. He proved two things to me. He proved first of all that he can pitch under fire and under strain. And he proved that the Cubs, with ail their slugging prowess, can be stopped by smart pitching that includes a change of pace and plenty of slow stuff. Cuts Off Double There were two real breaks in the game, both of them fielding plays. One came in the fourth inning when Dykes made a great diving catcli of Stephenson's grounder. Had that ball gone by it would have been good for two at least, and since there had been no scoring, it might have upset the entire plan of play. The other break came in the very next inning when Simmons chased well over into the fringe of the leftfield boxes to pull down Taylor's drive that had three-bagger written all over it. Taylor was the first man up in that inning, and had that ball gone safe the Cubs would surely have scored and taken the lead. Hack Shows Courage The best Chicago play, I think, was Wilson's diving catch of Simmons’ liner. It took nerve to make that play. Lots of outfielders would have stood back and played the ball safe by letting it drop for a single. But Hack gambled. If he missed the "ball he knew it would go for three bases at least and perhaps for a homer. It's trying for plays like that are real tests of courage. Looking at itr’as a baseball man, I can not see that Tuesday's game was any real test of team greatness. It was just a case of a pitcher, or pitchers, dominating the play. You couldn’t really tell about the real ability of the teams. They never had a chance to show it. But whatever edge there is, of course, is with the Athletics. They have one game in the bag.

Here's Different Kind of Diamond Feature

Iln T nitrd Press CHICAGO, Oct. 9.—ln the milling at the gateway to Wrigley field at the first series game, Mrs. Stanley Field lost a $3,000 diamond brooch. She told a companion of the loss as they sat in box seat. “What kind of a brooch was it?” asked a woman in an adjoining box. Mrs. Field described the piece and the woman, by an odd turn of chance the person out of more than 50,000 at the game to sit in that box, handed it over to her.
