...Grimes of the Cardinals was well aware that his job had been made no easier by the way Manager Mack had accepted Street's dare. Other things being equal, Grimes would need a little luck to win. Luck came to him, but it was bad. In the second inning Foxx hit, low and long. In right field, Blades of St. Louis lunged for the hit as it bounced off the wall. He hurried his throw and dropped the ball. Foxx went on to third. Later, in the sixth, hard-hitting Third Baseman Dykes of the Athletics hit a two-bagger...
Flint Rhem, pitching for the Cardinals ?the same Rhem who recently said that he had been kidnapped, forced to drink hard liquor for two days?got through the first and second innings all right except for Cochrane's drive and a run batted in by Foxx. But in the third and fourth the Athletics knocked him out of the box. By the time Street took Rhem out, the Athletics had four more runs. Relief Pitchers Jimmy Lindsey and Sylvester Johnson allowed no more hits, but the lead was safe. Score: Philadelphia 6, St. Louis...
Fielding. The Athletics have "the best catcher in the world"?Mickey Cochrane. The Cardinals have Frankie Frisch? probably the best second baseman, who has played in five world series. Connie Mack's famed defensive infield (Foxx, Bishop, Boley, Dykes) is about as efficient but certainly no more so than Gabby Street's (Bottomley, Frisch, Gelbert, Adams...
...Fielder Simmons of Philadelphia came up to bat in the seventh inning. While a phonograph pushed up against amplifiers played "I've Got a Feeling I'm Falling" and the crowd screamed as no World Series crowd has screamed for a decade, Simmons hit a home run; Foxx, Miller, Dykes, Boley and Bishop singled. Old left-handed Arthur Nehf, who used to pitch for the Giants, went in for Root. Then Pitcher Blake went in, then Pitcher Malone went in. He hit Miller in the ribs with a crazy pitch while the Athletics in their clean cream-colored...
...Bishop and tying the score. By slaps and gesticulations, since words could not be heard, Cubs tried to make Malone feel better, but his nerve was gone. He took a long breath, got rid of Mickey Cochrane on a grounder; burly Simmons doubled. Joe McCarthy signalled to pass Foxx. While the crowd, inimical to strategy, was hooting this. Miller's two bagger brought the run that won the championship and $6,000 prize money for each first-string Athletic; to each Cub-loser's dole-went...
