Saturday and reached tha world's baseball championship Their causa abandoned even by tha homo town fans the Carda fought their way to a truly thrilling victory beating Philadelphia's Athletics by 4 to 3 In the decisive game and winning the extended World Series four games to three The Cards victory was as surprising as it waa exciting After taking the play away from their White Elephant rivals In the fora part of the competition and coming home for the concluding game the Cards slumped so miserably Friday that hop for their victory Saturday aeemed given up by all the red-shlrted players But the daring drive and dash that had scored three victories in the earlier part of the championship was revived ao thoroly that Gabby Street's Cards made tha mountainous George Earnahaw Number 2 man of the pitching staff look like a tyro The Cards led by Andy High flashy third baseman scored two runs off two hits and an error in tha first Inning George Watkins horns run in the third brought In two more The Carda then aeemed positively destined to the victory they ultimately achieved Fools Mackmcn Meanwhile Burleigh Grimes still a cunning hurler despite hia 38 years was streaking the ball past the Elephant batsmen Almost never waa he in danger Hia work lacked tha polish It had when he limited the Athletics to two hits in tha third game and hia control waa often completely gone But the old master fooled the proud Athletle batsmen lute swinging at bad ones Not until tha ninth Inning did tha Athletics score and th two runs tallied then came almost aa an aftermath of tha gam Itself which waa as good as won when the Cards got their four-run lead Because the Cards had been so little proved as possible wlnnere Saturday thla game became tbe strangest of an already freak series The Cardinal fane who had cheered themselvee hoarse over the victory in the second game played here and who yelled them-selvea groggy before the start of Friday's debacle were a strangely silent crowd aa Saturday's game got underway The spirits of the spectators were as drooping as the World Series bunting hung about the grandstands Band Doesn't Help Even ths band whieh played before the game waa unable to awaken any pep When they frequently played Days Are Here one rooter yelled And that waa the way everyone felt It was mat ter of lamb being led to slnugha ter of a nervous club fighter meeting the reigning champion But when the Cards displayed that upper hand the crowd was electrified It hung on every pitch It booed the balla called against Grimes and the atrlkee railed for Karnshaw And when the final out was made the spectators fairly tumbled onto the field and danced Deliriously happy aa they were the Cardinal rooters had one regret Their hero and the world's current baseball hero had failed them John Leonard (Pepper) Martin wild man from Oklahoma'! hills who had hit and hit in every game until Friday's Saturday again went hitless To him went only the hollow( hut Important

Frisch sacrificed them along their way A wild pitch brought Hlghf home with a run Martin walked Ernie Orssttt struck out but Catcher Cochrane dropped the third strike and when he wse throwing Orsatti out at first Wntklns came streaking home The Athletics put two on in tha second but a snappy Infield out ended the danger Wat kin Hits Hmcr The Cards were three up and three down in the second as were the A's in the third Then cam Andy High to make his second hit a sparkling single to right renter Watkins also got hia sen ond successive hit It was a magnificent home run over the pavll ion back of right field The bark of the game wad broken right there And altlui Earnahaw was effective enough te face but three Cards batters tn each of the next four Innings hi strengthening came too late The Athletlci made a definite threat In the fifth Singles by Miller and Williams had placed the former on third but Earnahaw already the goat of the game flleked Into an easy double pla The Macks not only threatened but scored In the nlath In fact (Please Tern To Fag I) Manager Street Happy But Mack Smiles Not (EDITOR'S VOTE: The accompanying pictures In this itory mere mw nfori tha UrH Scries ended

again in World Series'' aaid 1 Mack that real soon Of course I wanted to make It three in a row But I am philosophical about It You have to be la basebnlL going back to Philadelphia tonight Naturally I am disappointed but the Cardinals deserved to win" Mack sent Eddie Collins to congratulate Street because he wished to avoid tha crowd Connie amid every game was played cleanly and added that all the rumors about hia retiring were untrue Burleigh Grimes 38-year-old veteran was perhaps the moat satisfied player on the winning club aaid before that any pitcher that beat ns great team as the A's has to be lucky and I atilt say ao" Grimes remarked Burleigh pitched two of last year's games with the A's held them to five hits In each contest but lost both Does No Tormenting GRIMES WORE the two
