Talking It Over BY JOB WILLIAMS

Philadelphia, oct. 9.— with what I mean to be becoming modesty I wish to call attention, as if it were necessary, to the singular fact that this writer picked two losers in one day—the Cards and Camera against Jimmy Maloney. a a a X maUnUln It take* (kill of an extraordinary nature to fall down twice In two different reorraufaieal ouota and bumn the oatne beeier with mutual and nonnartlaau violence. a a a Os court* there are extenuating circumstances. I picked the Cards bo-:*use Oabby Street came Into my room t.ie day before the series and told me a lot of comical stories about the hill billies in Alabama. There Is nothing that moves me emotlonallv so must as stories about hill blllleE. provided they are reasonably clean and arc not told In dialect. a a a Street also told me that his ball elute, then at the top of its stride, would surely win the series from the Athletics. I did not recognise at the moment that this wss lust another of Street’s witticisms, and that ho waa talking in a hilarious vein. a an WHILE I do not believe that Street was deliberately trying to take me in, as the fellow says, nevertheless I feel quite mortified, particularly when I hark back to a year ago and recall that I picked the Cubs because Hornsby stopped me in an elevator In the Congress hotel out Chicago way, and iff.id, “Hello there old kid.” a a a I suppose by now I should be getting over these Impressionistic moods If lor no other reason than to protect and safeguard the new gold filling which 1 have just had deposited In one of my left molars. a a a X do not feel as badly about my failure to forecast the series correctly as 1 do about Maloney’s victory over Camera. This was an out-and-out case of the old doublecross. 1 have known for some lime that I must deal cautiously with Managers Duffy and Madden, but I did not think they would ever stoop to such low practices as to force Camera to fight a level fight. a a a In the beginning. I was pretty much against the bovs and their clowning, but as time went along and the clowning took on such a high note of artistry T became enthusiastic about it all and my admiration for the young men just naturally grew. So when I heard they were talcing Camera Into Boston to exchange scowls with Maloney I felt sure that Duffy and Madden would not throw me down. a a a THEY had been going along for a number of months doing a fine box office business with the mettfc' spectacular hippodrome in the Ngltory of boxing and it seemed inedible that they would change Aelr tactics. a a a Naturally I felt sure that Maloney would not be around after the third or fourth round and you can Imagine my amazement when I picked up the morning papera and learned I had been duped, deceived and hoaxed by a couple of my pals. My pals, mini you! a a a O. well It lust goes to show what a sordlo world we live in. You Just can’t trust anybody any more. Overnight people turn sou are on you. Even the fact that I have led a very boisterous bass howl from the start that Carnet a was a chump, a clown and a come-on. and that Kid Chocolate could beat him on the uo-and-up. does not assuage my grief.

a tt tt IhSTEAD of scorn, my dear brethren, I merit your synpathy. Perhaps Dr. Cadman can do something for me or Amie McPherson. Good old Amie! How the Cards could have used her Wednesday. Even a prayer might have helped. Never did a team go down to defeat in a crucial test so ingloriously, so feebly, so emphatically. ? tt tt n Against the rubber arm pitching of Gtorte Etrntbav —Bit Georte —the (inerts caU him, the Missourians were -.utterly helpless. You felt sorry for them. They .lust couldn’t get started. They were thoroughly whipped after the first inning. The game could hare been called then and the result would have been unchanged. tt o tt All during the game I had nothing but sympathy tor Street, a commonplace old farmer bov, who was out there trying the best he could. His pitchers couldn't pitch and his hitters couldn't hit. He was like a guv with an oyster full of pearls in front of nim and nothing to open It with. tt tt tt President F. S. Barnard of the American League Is correct. Anybody who picks a National League tram to win a world series Is a sucker. Step up folks and meet old suoker Williams, the A.A.

EXTRA BASE HITS, SUPERB PITCHING GIVE A’S TITLE

Earnshaw Gains Place Among Great Hurlers Big Right-Hander Toys With Cards in Final Game of Series; Allowed Two Runs in 25 Innings, Received Credit for Two Wins. BY FRANK GETTY United Presa Staff Correspondent PHILADELPHIA. Pa., Oct. 9.—The Philadelphia Athletics have won their second successive world’s championship. Defeating the St Louis Cardinals in the sixth and deciding game Wednesday, the Mackmen carried off the series and the highest honors

and monetary rewards of baseball. With George Earnshaw winning world series pitchers of all time, the This final battle for the championship resembled the opener in that the victors made lust as many rums as hits. Earnshaw held the National League champions to five hits, two of which came in the ninth when Gabby Street's young men scored their only run. The A.s made only seven hits, but each one was an extra-base blow, leading to a score. Better Team Won There is no doubt in the minds of baseball men that the better team won. Contrasting the play of the contenders in this 1930 series, the general opinion is that the Athletics were superior to the Cardinals. They had the punch when it w’as needed, the ability to hammer out the extra-base blows which proved so successful, and they had the pitching to check whatever opposition presented itself. Earnshaw, big right-hander, was the pitching hero of the series, the man whose name will go into the annals of the pastime as one of the truly great. Earnshaw won his first start against the Cardinals, held them scoreless in seven innings in his second and had them all but shut out Wednesday until he weakened in the ninth and allowed a run. Dykes Redeems Self Coupled with Earnshaw on the Philadelphia roll of fame is Lefty Grove, credited with two victories over the National Leaguers, and charged with one defeat. Grove pitched twenty innings, winning two games and losing one, and was ready to jump into Wednesday’s

‘We Gave Everything But It Wasn’t Enough,’ Says Gabby

Bu United Pres,. PHILADELPHIA. Oct. 9. —“I have no complaints to make,” said Gabby Street, Cards’ pilot, in the dressing room after Wednesday’s final world series game. ‘‘We fought ’em hard. We gave 'em everything we had, but it didn’t seem enough. Earnshaw had everything today and deserved to win.” Not until after the game was it learned that “Wild Bill” Haliahan, Cards’ southpaw who blanked the A’s in the third game, started Wednesday’s contest with a blister on the middle finger of his left hand. The blister was broken in the first inning and Haliahan had

himself a place among the greatest Athletics took the final contest, 7 to 1. fray at the veriest wig-wag of Connie Mack's score card. Depending upon just two pitchers to carry him through the series, Connie Mack had the pleasure of seeing his regular sluggers deliver. A1 Simmons hit a home run to help sew up the deciding contest Wednesday. So did Jimmy Dykes, who redeemed himself from the undesirable berth of “goat” of the series by batting 1.000 in the final game. Looking back upon this world series, one recalls just two things; the able pitching of the A’s box•men and the extra-base hitting of the regulars. Against this combination, the Cardinals battled in vain. That dramatic stand in St. Louis, when the Cards tied up the series, provided a spectacular interlude and prevented the Mackmen from staging a rout as in the past three years of post-season battles. But when the series settled down to a matter of baseball on a business-like basis, the American League champions were so far superior to their rivals that there was no foolin’. In winning the deciding game Wednesday, the Athletics scored two runs off “Wild Bill” Hallahan in the first inning, and faced Johnson, Lindsey and Bell before the last man wae put out. Earnshaw, meanwhile, was holding the National League champions in the hollow of a most capable right hand. He allowed the Cards only three hits until the ninth. The Red Birds garnered a total of five hits off Connie’s big right hander, who gave them only two runs in twenty-five innings of world series baseball.

to retire after pitching two innings. The blister formed after last Saturday's game, but Street thought he might be able to pitch at his best regardless of the blister. Haliahan, however, had trouble with his control and didn’t have his fast ball breaking as he did in his last appearance against the A’s. “Earnshaw pitched a great game,” said Haliahan, “and I doubt if I could have beaten him even if I had not been handicapped by the blister on my finger.” Malone Signed to Box Porter Six scraps will be offered on the weekly “two-bit” fistic card Monday night at Cadle tabernacle where the main go brings together Jack Malone, east side lightweight and Dick Porter, Anderson.

shaw’s work in the 1930 series was no surprise. Nor was it any surprise when he came back Wednesday after pitching seven great innings in St. Louis Monday and only having a day of rest in between. He is a horse for work, and when he has his control the other team has to come close to shutout pitching to havea chance. When the A’s came through with three runs for George in the first three innings Wednesday I figured it was all over. I want to say the Cardinals have

or two during the season, and it might come in Saturday’s contest. Ingram's outstanding backfield threat is Louis Kirn, the kicker, passer and ball-toter who sprang into prominence in the 1929 season. John Byng at end and Bob Bowstrom at tackle are veterans of two seasons of line play. Following his usual custom, Rockne starts an eleven of shock troopers, after which he inserts his scoring eleven. Carideo, Savoldi, Brill and Mullins, veteran ball-carriers of the 1929 national championship eleven, may be counted among the scoring players, or first stringers.

no reason to hang their heads over anything that happened in the final game and series. They were up against two of the great pitchers of the past few years. I said before the series I would not be surprised if the name of either Grove or Earnshaw would be found in every box score. I missed it by one game as neither one figured in the third of the set. It was plain in the ninth inning Wednesday that Earnshaw was tiring and it was no wonder. In a world series a pitcher puts everything in every pitch, never knowing when trouble will break loose. Earnshaw was in a position Wednesday to ease up after the fourth, but he kept on bearing down and I figured he might not last. When you pitch as he did for seven innings Monday you need a little more rest than one day between games. That is true of the average pitcher, but

I guess everybody ■will agree that Earnshaw is some degrees above this rating. Connie Mack was taking no chances. He didn't want the game to go against his team and carry the series into another game, even though this would mean many thousands of dollars to his club. Connie, as you know, is more than a manager under salary. He owns a half interest in the Athletics, but he worked overtime to win Wednesday, sending Grove to the bull pen in the first inning and keeping him warmed up all through the game. I wanted to see Jim Bottomley come through with some hits on Wednesday, as I appreciate how downcast a fellow becomes when he is in a hitting slump. If it happens in a world series, so much more emphasis is placed on the failure. But Jim couldn’t make the grade.

Mack’s Great Machine Has Its Weak Spots Nucleus for Another Winner Is There, but Replacements Are Likely for Boley, Haas and Miller; Rommell, Quinn Near Trail's End. BY GEORGE W. KIRKSEY United Pres* Staff Corresoondent PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 9.—The world series is over and the Philadelphia Athletics have retained their world championship against the challenge of the St. Louis Cardinals, but baseball fans here today pondered over the future of Connie Mack's team. Even v%ile winning over the Cardinals, the world champions showed weak spots which are quite likely to become more pronounced over the

long season's grind. With George Earnshaw and Lefty Grove in the prime of their pitching career, and A1 Simmons, Jimmy Foxx and Mickey Cochrane showing no signs of slowing up, Connie Mack has the nucleus for another great team for 1931. Boley Fails at Bat Replacements, however, must be found to round out the Athletics next season. Bing Miller, veteran right fielder, is nearing the end of his career, and George (Mule) Haas seems to have lost his batting punch. Max Bishop and Joe Boley played steady baseball around the keystone sack in the world series, but both are slowing up. Boley probably will be the first to crack. His weak hitting makes it almost imperative that the A.s get anew shortstop. Bishop is still one of the best leadoff men in baseball because of his keen batting eye, and his ability to get walks. Bishop batted .222 in the series and Boley .095. Jimmy Dykes at third base played erratically in the series, and had the misfortune to make his lone error when it hurt most in the fourth game, which the Cards won 3-1, paving the way for the two winning runs. Dykes, however, is likely to keep his post. Three Rookie Infielders Connie Mask has three youngsters he is grooming for the infield—Eric McNair, shortstop; DibreU Williams, second base, and Frank Higgins, third base. The A’s outfield reserves, however, are not so promising. Homer Summa, who formerly played with Cleveland, was recalled from the Pacific Coast League late in the season, and Jim Moore, the Dallas Texas League rookie, doesn’t seem to measure up to major league standard, although he batted .380 in fifteen games with the A’s toward the end of the season. He is weak in the outfield and a slow starter. Jack Quinn and Ed Rommel, veterans of the pitching staff, are not apt to be of much service to the A’s next year except as relief pitchers. Grove and Earnshaw, with Walberg, Shores and Mahaffey to aid them, again will have to carry the bulk of the A’s pitching burden. SOUTHPORT IN ACTION Southport high school grid team will go to Martinsville Friday to take on the prep football pastimers there. Coach Pitcher of the Southport squad has been stressing defense this week to stop the Martinsville line play. Hurt is expected to see action at guard with Pitcher’s team.

George Takes Coveted Ball Su Times Sneriol PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 9.—Bing Miller, Athletics’ right Aider, got the last putout in the world’s series Wednesday on a fly by Wilson, and Bing thrust the coveted ball i* his pocket and dashed for the clubhouse. He was intercepted, however, by George Earnshaw, who fought off admiring mates and fans and wrestled for a moment with Miller until the fly chaser gave up the souvenir. Big George wanted, that sphere above anything else. Miller made the last and winning hit in the 1929 series, crushing the Cubs. Wabash Set for Normal CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind.. Oct. 9. —Wabash college eleven will make its first invasion into foreign fields Friday night when it clashes with the Indiana State Teachers at Terre Haute under newly-installed lightprojectors. Although somewhat depressed during drills of the early part of this week by the surprise beating they took from Manchester last Friday, the Little Giants are determined to brerk back into the win column at the Teachers’ expense.
