COLORFUL CROWD A howling, hopeful crowd of 38,- 529 ,hometowncustomers came out to cheer the Cardinals in their fresh attempt to stop Connie Mack’s baseball steamroller. They saw the great Grove hit briskly, touched for two runs in the very Brat in- himself, out of a clock of critical situations in holding the Nstionali League champions scoreless for thc I rest of the game. The Red Birds outhit the world champions, 12 to 11, but the big' guns of the A`s were more destruc-i 3 tive, and accomplished the down- \ fall of the youthful Derringer in ‘ decisive fashion. Four runs in al wild third inning, when Derringer lost control, forced in the tying run and then a. single by Jimmy' the game. , i silu'ivioN's noman ‘ As a parting salute, Ai Simmons drove Va home run into the left 'W ' field bleachers in the seventh in- Cardiml’ Pmhe' ning with Micky Cochrane on base.

It was a brilliant start too good‘ i Flnal Sh00t be tru in fact as events in the were in blasting the hopes that the National Leaguers had piiced with such confidence on the youthful and inexperienced Derringer, a "freshman' big leaguer making his first world series start. GROVE A SENSATION For two innings, as he struck out four of the six batsmen to face him, the 25 year old Kentucky boy loked like the sensation he was ex- pected to he.

In the sixth, a double with one out, had the Athletics momentarily up in the air, but Wilson end Gelbert lacked the punch to bring anybody across the plate. ` THE SEVENTH Roettger and Frisch singled in succession in the seventh with two out, but Jim Bottomley could do uation than ground out to Max Bishop. Altogether nine Cardinals were stranded on the bases, and their only consistent batsman was the youthful Martin. who collected three safe blows of! the fireball king in his first world series ap- pearance. ' ` A GREAT carol: of the game when he dashed back and speared Wiison's drive with his gloved hand up against the wallin deep left field in the eighth inning. The great outfielder, however, shur- ed honors wlth Williams, the kid shortstop, who justified his selection for world series duty for the first time by handling seven chances perfectly and contributing two hits to the Athletics' attack. THE SEVENTEENTH Today's triumph was the sevent- eenth for the American League forces in the last twenty world scr- ies contests. It was a bitter blow to their rivals, whether or not it forecasts another sweeping conquest for the house of Mack. The advan- tage now is all with the A's, who will play their second ace pitcher, George Earnshaw, tomorrow, against the Cardinal southpsw, Bill Hal- lahcn, and then move to Philadel- phia for three games next week. The worst that can befall the world champions is an even break before they hit the home grounds, where they have been almost invin- cible now for three straight years. The opening game, minus much trumpeting or fanfare, drew n crowdlthat was barely 1.000 short of the park's capacity. The re- ceipts, $l65,l0i were about $4.009 short of the record for St. Louis. Skill by Chick Haley and Martin., Al Simmons contributed the most sensational defensive gesture . `, ,,_, _ - I Q'-r 11'; .f' . »» V' _'~. `.. ..r' / gif. ~ -4.
