Yet this is the astonishing phenomenon that has taken place in the Cardinal roost with both rluVia IU3H rt Philadelphia in a deadlock at in tne nrst Dattie tne Athletics applied raw power and breezed through.

In this second test the Cardinals applied raw speed as Bill Hallahan again shut out the famous maulers from the mansion of Mack with only three scattered blows and the battle ended 2 to 0. The counting factor was the blinding speed from Hallahan's left arm, hooked to the speed in Pepper Martin's flying feet It will take until next Monday for even the brainy Connie Mack to untie all the knots in his team that Hallahan put there in defense of home plate.

As has been the custom for the past two years, football will be ushered In with a double-header. Central State Teachers and Michigan Normal College furnish the opposition this year in what figures to be no more than a tune-up for the more serious business of defending a half share In the Big Ten title. That is what the Wolverines will undertake starting next Saturday.

Trained to the minute, and equipped with a much more complete arsenal of players than is usually the case with a team entering a season's opening fray, the Wolverines are eager to demonstrate to their followers that they boast a strong running attack as well as their perennial polished overhead game and strong defense. Friday's final workout was a perfunctory affair, adding further emphasis to the defensive tactics the Wolverines will employ against the Teachers. It also embraced a light drill, and a lesson in lining up on kickoffs. I Both of the Maize and Blue rivals delayed tneir arrival umu poimu morning. It was expected that the Mt.

Continued on PaRe 15 BIG ENTRY LIST inurth Palrlinff or tne exclusively Vur.t to be run 3 of the ah oiaie Bill Hallahan Comes Through Despite His Wildness BY ALAN GOULD Associated Press Sports Editor ST. LOUIS. Oct.

2 (A. Led by a fleet young rookie outfielder, John (Pepper) Martin, who. almost sirgle-handed, shattered the spell of Big George Earnshaw's pitching mastery, the St. Louis Cardinals rode to triumph over the World Champion Athletics today on the crest of a sensational shutout performance by "Wild Bill" Hallahan. Hallahan, for the second straight year, blanked the champions of the baseball universe, holding them to three singles and winning by 2 to 0 in a sensational duel with Earn shaw, who tamed all but the ubiqui tous and rabbit-footed Martin.

The triumph squared the World Series at one victory apiece, as the warrinir forces wound up their opening skirmishes in the West and headed for Philadelphia to resume on Monday a battle that again has become a toss-up. Martin, a hitting sensation from the outset, ran his total up to five hits In two days, scored both Cardi nal runs as a result of fast Dase running and- gave Hallahan the margin of victory that the gallant southpaw protected in a dramatic exciting finish that saw the Athletics stopped in the ninth inning with the bases filled. Although his change of pace baf fled them and silenced for the most part the big bats of Cochrane, Sim mons and Foxx throughout tne game. Hallahan's wildness fre- auentlv nut him In hot water. His final jam was in the ninth, ano "Wild Bill" needed all his couragf to pull safely through a situation that threatened to bust up the ball game.

He had turned back his foes in the fifth with the bases lined and one out as Earnshaw hit into double play. Wilson Almost Made Goat Foxx walked at the start of the ninth. Dykes also received a pass Hallahan's seventh free ticket of the game, after Miller flied to Hafey. Dib Williams, young and over-anxious to come through in the pinch, struck out as he lunged for a bad ball and then Connie Mack sent Jim Moore up to hit for Eflrrisliaw There was a wild yell as Moore also swung and missed the third strike. The Cardinals and the crowd thought the game was over.

Catcher Jimmy Wilson had picked the ball up from the dirt and thrown to third base in a Bpirit of triumph, but the A's were kept alert by their sideline captain, Eddie Collins, and Moore raced to first base safely, to fill the bags. Wilson had overlooked the formality of throwing his man out at first, since he had picked the pitch up from the dirt. For the next few moments all was chaos, but Captain Collins saved the situation momentarily for the champions and the umpires sent the Cardinals back to their positions. Bishop Misses Chance Max Bishop came to bat with opportunity beckoning him, but on his pop foul toward the field boxes off the right field line, Bottomley charged over, made a spectacular catch for the final out and half tumbled over the fence into the arms of spectators. Even the scorers were groggy under the effect of these lightning-like events.

An error that was at first charged against Hallahan, for his low pitch, though It was also a third strike, later was recalled and the misplay was charged against Wilson. A wildly yelling home town crowd of 35,947 cash customers, nearly Continued on Page 15 their uniforms in their dressing room to get ready for their'showers. A radio was going full blast and the Cards were either singing or whistling to its accompaniment John "Pepper" Martin, the Cardinal center fielder, who cracked out two hits, stole two bases and scored two runs, was off in a corner by himself trying to escape the back slaps of his comrades. Martin was picked up a few years ago by Charley Barrett, Cardinal scout, In Greenville, Tex, for a paltry $2,500. He was born in Oklahoma City 26 years ago on Feb.

29, and therefore says he could have a birthday every four years. As a kfd he was a bat boy for the Oklahoma City Club of the Western League. Hallahan, who held the Athletics to three hits, but gave them seven bases on balls, did not think he was wild. "My style of pitching makes people think I'm wild," Wild William smiled. "If you get them over when you need them.

I don't think that's being wild. It only makes you pitch a little harder, and perhaps work a little longer." Asked if he thought it was the best game he ever pitched, as Manager Street said it was, Hallahan replied: "Can't say that, but I sure thank Gabby or the compliment," BY W. W. EDGAR Dragged into the depths of defeat in their opening game last week with DePaul, the red-jerseyed Titans of the University of Detroit staged a comeback Friday night For two periods the men of Dorais played only mediocre football, but gathering offensive power early in the third quarter, they swept aside all opposition to conquer Western State Normal, 20 to 0, and sound a warning to their future opponents. More than 12,000 persons sat through the first half and took the game only as a matter of course They seemed to sense the lack of punch in the Titan machine as it was turned back twice within the shadow of the goal posts.

McCracken in Long Run But the trend of the game changed with startling suddenness at the start of the third period. Before the crowd realized what was happening, the Titans, showing their first sustained attack this season, marched 93 yards to a touchdown. This was only a starter. Before the final gun sounded O'Neill ended another march, with a sweep around end for a touchdown, and Earl McCracken, former Cass Tech star, furnished the climax when he Intercepted a pass and sprinted 96 yards down the sidelines for the final score. Until these events happened the Titans looked very ordinary.

They had trouble penetrating the stubborn defense of the Teachers and the game was a drab affair. On only two occasions were they In a scoring position and each time they lacked an offensive punch. There didn't seem to be much change when the third period opened. But the Teacher learned that the Titans were not to De taken lightly. Taking the kickoff.

Sullivan raced it back 2fi vardH. and the drive was on. Berg and Parsaca, veterans of two previous campaigns, took matters into their own hands. They alternated at piercing inn xeacners- line and stopped only when ParBaca plunged across for the first score. It was a march of yards and the Teachers were made to give ground on every play.

Refuse to Quit As later events proved, this would have been enough to win. But the Titans were eager to balance accounts for their poor showing in the opener, and the Teachers were made to pay the penalty. The second touchdown resulted from more or less of a break, but It proved that the Titans were bent on fulfilling their mission. The break came late in the third period. Aner an exchange of punts, Elen-baas fumbled and Sharkey recovered for the Titans on his 31-yard line.

O'Neill and McCracken ripped holes in the line, and when the Teachers closed In Parsaca skirted outside of tackle for 19 yards to set the stage for a score. It came on the next play when O'Neill out-raced his rivals on. a wide sweep around end. With a margin of two touchdowns to work on, Coach Dorais called on his reserves. Against them the Teachers headed for a touchdown.

Fate denied the visitors their chance, though, when McCracken intercepted Wurster's pass and headed for the goal line 96 yards away. Like a shot, he streaked down the sidelines. With every step he drew farther away from his pursuers to turn the Teachers' only scoring chance into a boomerang. So far as statistics are concerned, the Titans held a wide margin. They gained 309 yards from scrimmage compared to 32 for Western State, and accounted for 12 first downs to two for their rivals.

But In spite of this wide discrepancy, the Titans were only a mediocer football team until they struck their first blow in the third period. IT. OF D.

However, he did walk seven hitters and that brings us back to the subject of the impossibility which the scorers tried so hard to unhappen in the ninth. Foxx Given Walk At this time the Cardinals were defending their two-run lead and Hallahan began the inning with a base on balls to Foxx. Miller, the next batter, went out on a fly to left and Jimmy Dykes, a great nuisance to the pitchers always, being short and thick, came up to look at a few. So he walked and that made two on base In the ninth with the club two runs behind against a three-hit pitcher and the dumb end of the batting order coming up.

Williams struck out quietly and Connie Mack sent in Jim Moore, of Texas, a big meaty hitter, to bat for Earnshaw. Now Hallahan had been deceiving the boys with a dropping curve, and with a count of two and two on Moore he let him have another of those.

The Army and Navy will clash again on the gridiron, if the Salvation Army has its way. Last year the Academy teams drew a throng that added more than $600,000 to the coffers from which the jobless were fed. The money would go for the same purpose this year. The game was proposed today by Lt Col. Edward J.

Underwood, who represents the Salvation Army in the President's Unemployment Commission. The suggestion received an imme diate and favorable, if unofficial, reception from officials of the two services. Naval officers expected Annapolis woula approve and War Depart ment officials were optimistic that West Point, too, would be agree able. The 70,000 who saw the Army win, 6-0, last year, paid a total equal to the record set by the teams in their last regularly scheduled game at Soldiers' Field, Chicago, Ave years ago. Difference on the three- year eligibility rule has since dis rupted relations between the ead- emies.

Acting Secretary Payne, of the War Department, said that if the game is played it must take pi ice in December, since Army's schedule Is filled for October and November. Last year's game was played in that month, and though the weather was cold, it was not too cold lor the enthusiastic throngs.

DUNKLEY ST. LOUIS, Oct.

2 The truth probably will get noised about in time anyway, so it may as well be admitted now that the second game of the World Series was a pretty dull, dumb contest between a couple of good pitchers, both of them running a high artistic temperature, until the ninth inning when the clowns went crazy. Then something happened which can't happen under the rules of baseball and the three unfortunates serving as official scorers in a little coop dangling from the eaves like a hornest's nest, rattled the bars of their cage for half an hour trying to unhappen it. That only complicated things and, though at last reports this impossibility was officially deemed to have transpired, it is the hope of all concerned that nobody will demand a complete, logical explanation of lt all. If there ever was a time when people ought to show faith in the administration and ask no annoying questions, this one is it Oh, Yes, the Cards Won By the waythe Cardinals won, 2 to 0. and several big parties of ball players, experts and middle-aged baseball nuts with money enough to chase these shows from town to town every year, clattered out of St.

Louis this evening on a lot of special trains bound for Philadelphia with nothing to do until Monday The Cardinals, however, will not leave until Saturday, thus saving the cost of a day's quarters and rations for their entire cast, no negligible item in any time but much less negligible at this particular time. The St Louis players are on their own expense until they take the train for Philadelphia because this is their base. Up to the ninth Inning the game, under the influence of some very superior pitching by Bill Hallahan and George Earnahaw, had been about as stirring as so much office work. The object of the game Is to hit the ball and when the pitchers don't let guys hit to any marked extent the ball game is just a long spell of nothing doing. Of course, some people claim to enjoy the old-fashioned pitchers' battle, but there Is something negative about a contest in which something is trying to happen for two hours or so, and when it docs happen, isn't much.

Lost One Last Year Well, Hallahan la the Cardinals' left hander who lost a game in last year's World Series when a blister rose on his curving knuckle. He spends a lot of his time out in the sun and wind, necessarily, but he has a complexion about the color of the paper this is printed on and he goes around wearing a wad of tobacco as Dig as an appie in nis left cheek. So. just at a glimpse. vou would guess he had something terrible the matter with him.

Hallahan pitched to just nine hitters In the first three innings, that good he was, and nobody reached first on any sort of hit until the fifth, when Bing Miller singled.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 2 (A.P.) The door of the Cardinals' clubhouse flew open today. In walked Gabby Street, shoulders back, head up, and the scene was complete. There was a beaming smtfe on the Old Sarge's face.

He was extremely happy today over the victory of his players. "Whew, boy, and how!" Street exclaimed as he patted Sweet William Hallahan on the back. There was particular emphasis on the "how." "That was the finest pitched ball game that I have ever seen by any pitcher," declared Street, paying enthusiastic trlbut to Hallahan's shutout victory. "Barring a bit of wildness, it was just perfect." Street would make no prediction concerning the outcome of the series now that the score is even, and neither would he say who he intended to start against the Ath letics ia the third game of the series at Philadelphia Monday. "We are plaving a great ball club," Street said, "but I won't say we will beat them.

We will be in there hustling, trying to out-guess them and out-maneuver them. "There are a lot of "hitches between here and the old back door," Gabby exclaimed, whatever he meant by that There was jubilation Instead of despair as the Cardinals pulled off.
