Sports Editor * Shibe Park, Philadelphia, Penn., Oct. 1.--With a chill in the air more appropriate for football than baseball, the clans gathered from far and wide this afternoon to watch the Athletics begin the de- fense of the world's championship against the Louis Cardinals, ram- pant pennant winners of the Na- tional League. The sun broke through a flock of low flying, black clouds "y noon time but the advance guard of the expected jam of 33,000 fans, in- cluding the President of the United States, was. bundled in overcoats and furs. It looked like the chilliest world series battle since Washington beat the Pittsburgh Pirates in near freezing weather at the National capital in 19265. Any' doubt concerning a capacity attendance appeared dissipated by the early morning rush for the dollar seats in the left field Hleach- ers. * Three thousand of them were put on- sale shortly after § a.m. ana 1 erie more than an hour the entire section Was sold out. Four hours before game time at 1.20 p.m. The world's championship yen- nant of the A's flew from the cen- ter field flag pole but the only oth- ed ceremoni@ marks of the oec- casion were the decorations above and below the box to be océup'ad by president Hoover. The Athletics were first out on . the field for practice and the great pitching mystery as to Connie Mack's choice of the flinger to op- pose Burleigh Grimes of the Car- dinals seemed solved when Robert Moses (lefty) Grove took part in the batting drill. Grove was bundled in a naavy leather jacket and retired 'o the bench after a few swings at the plate. However, George Parashaw also took part in the batting drill to maintain some uncertainty as to Mack's Shojon.! 7x ( fling ply by play detail of Sports Writer) obs Park, Philedelphia, Penn, ct.

Philadelphia, Oct. 1.--Compari- son of the final average of the rival world series players reveals that the Phiadelphia Athletics were sup- erior to the St. Louis Cardinals through the regular season in pitch- ing and fielding but were inferior in batting. The Cardinals, as a team, batted 20 points higher than the Athletics, .314 in comparison to .204. In club fielding the Athletics had an advantage of .975 to .970. In pitching the Athletics had five pit. chers, Grove, Shores, Rommel, Mahaffey and Earnshaw, who com- piled better records than any mem- bers of the St. Louis pitching corps. Grove alone won only three less victories than the two leading win- ners of the Cardinals, having 28 triumphs against 16 for Grimes and 15 for Hallahan. In batting, the Cardinals topped @ Athletics in six of the eight itions outside the pitching box, immons with .381 outhit Haftey with .335 ané Foxx with .335 out hit Bottomley with .308. Every other St. Louls player had a mar- gin over his Philadelphia rival. Defensively, the Athletics out- classed the Cardinals at every posi-. tion, each Philadelphia player hav- ing a better fielding average than "his, St. Louis rival, The final comparative batting, flelding and pitching records of the two teams follows: St, Louis Carginals Batting Fielding Douthit, ef. +.... 308 980 959 968 988 980 938 307 846 803 386 379 370 966 804 966 Won Lost FC.

Oct. 1--The world's series came today with the annual guessing contest between Connie Mack and the fans féturing the pregame activities, Everyone was trying to name the athleties' starting pitcher against the St. Louis Cardinals, and only wise old Connie knew. Manager Mack had Eyes of Sporting Turn to Philadelphia Today As Baseball Classic Opens World the last guess and promised to keep his own course until game time as he did last year when he came back to the thick of world's series fights after a long absence, Manager Charles E. (Gabby) Street of the Cardinals has no sec- rets. He said "Grimes" in a loud voice and stuck to his story. No go C. eMcGillicuddy, The veteran mentor of the A's only smiled when asked who would fire the starting gun for the American league cham- plonship. Early speculation hinged about Robert Moses Grove, the tall, slim, left hander with the "high hard one," it being taken for granted that the home team would put its best foot forward at the outset. then the guessers recalled that a year ago Manager Mack crossed the fans, the Cubs and even the" ath- letics themselves, by nominating Howard Ehmke, who had pitched only 56 innings all season, to go out and try for victory in the all important first game, And- There was a flurry of excitement among Cardinal supporters when it was found at the last practice session of the National leaguers: Captain Frankie Frisch not only was not among those taking a final workout but was flat on his accom- plished back in his hotel bedroom receiving treatment for lumbago. Frisch hastened to reassure his friends by saying that his indisposi- tion while temporarily annoying was by no means severe and he would be at second base whegy the first big game started, at 1.30 o'clock this afternoon. "There's no chance of my being out," said the veteran of five world's series." "I'll be in there." Regarded as the mainspring of this team's offense and defénse, back trouble forcing Frisch from the line-up would ' have sent the Car- dinals into the series with all the National League in mourning. The day of the first game found every member of the athleties in the best of condition. George (Mule) Hass, out for a part of the season with injuries, was pronounced fit and ready to play every game, Manager Mack made it clear that his "boys" were not inclined to hold their National League rivals lightly and. expected the hardest kind of a battle. "It should be a great series," said the veteran manager. The presi- dents of the two leagues, John A. Heydler the National and E. 8 Barnard of the American, regarded the baseball battles as possible san- guinary struggles, stretching per- haps to the limit of seven games. Baseball stalwarts of other days assembled for the starting game. The former National Leaguers seeing gothing but the Cards and the ex-American league players string along with the A's. Tyrus Raymond Cobb, who retired undefeated as "the greatest player," was back from his Georgia hills to pick his old team to repeat. Nap Rucker, the grove of his day when he was a southpaw for Brooklyn coppered his fellow Georgian's bet by suggesting the Cardinals would break through the® American league defenses as they did in 1926. National league partisans looked with price on the Red Birds from Missouri as the series started, It was this same St. Louis team which won the last National league victory. In the lean and hungry years fol- lowing 1926, the senior circuit has won only one game in three series. Few of the active participants in today's pageant were strangers to the classic. With the exception of the pitcher, the starting lineup of the athletics was the same as the one sent against the Cubs at Chicago last October. Taylor Douthit, Jim Bottomley, and Chick Hafey were in the 1926 and 1928 series with the Cardinals and Frankie Frisch played four times for the Giants and once for the Cards. Burleigh Grimes pitched for Brooklyn against Cleveland in 1920. Sparky Adams, George Watkins, Charley Gelbert and Gus Mancuso awaited their first whiff of world Series powder, but all played great ball 'in the hard stretch drive of the Red Birds to a pennant when they had to stage the equivalent of world's serie battle against the Cub, Robins and Giants. The full catching burden for the National leaguers has been tossed on the shoulder of the slim Nancuso, owing to an injury to Jimmy Wii- son, Dut Mancuso, who was almost thrown to the minor league Lions in the spring, has met the issue bravely. The young catcher and Watkins, a hard hitting outfielder, are the real.
