...error made by Third Baseman Flowers of St. Louis in the sixth game. His wild throw to first base upset young Pitcher Paul Derringer who thereafter walked four batters, forced in two runs...
...player I ever saw." He was unabashed when Manager Street, moving him from sixth place to fourth in the batting order, made him clean-up man for St. Louis. In the first inning, he hit a sacrifice fly on which High scored. In the sixth, after Captain and Second Baseman Frankie Frisch had made a two-base hit, Pepper Martin smashed a homerun into the left field grandstand. In the eighth he singled, scoring Rightfielder Watkins. He was then, for the first time, put out trying to steal second. Philadelphia made a run in the seventh inning, St. Louis made...

Umpire Richard Nallin called it a ball. After a long...

The stands were so quiet that when a man in the grandstand coughed, the Philadelphia coach at first...
...again this year. Ninth pennant-winning team of Philadelphia's lean 68-year-old Manager Cornelius McGillicuddy ("Connie Mack"), the Athletics are handicapped by an injury to hardhitting Centre-fielder George William ("Mule") Haas. They still have a powerful offense, headed by Catcher Gordon Stanley ("Mickey") Cochrane, First-baseman James Emory ("Jimmy") Foxx, Outfielder Aloysius ("Al") Simmons, and the best pitching staff in either league. Best right-hander is George Livingston Earnshaw, Swarthmore graduate (1923). Best left-hander is Robert Moses Grove, who last week won his 30th victory of the season, an American League record. Pitcher Grove tied...
