...series, with two friends on base. In the fourth inning the Athletics scored three times more and Manager McCarthy of Chicago took out Malone, one of his best pitchers. With one out, the bases filled, and the infield playing close so as to be able to field a grounder home, Cub Short-stop English boneheaded to second. Pitcher Earnshaw of Philadelphia tired but his successor, muscular Robert Moses Grove, proved that a good left-handed pitcher can do better than tradition says against a team of right-handed hitters. Athletics 9, Cubs...
...straight pitch over the right field fence, bringing in 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...

Whitney then banged out a safety, scoring Nugent. The next play produced two more runs.

J. A. Prior '29 reached first when Becker fumbled his grounder, the Crimson short stop reaching third on the play. At this juncture, the two baserunners worked a double steal, scoring a second run. Prior counted a moment later on a wild pitch...
...scored when H. L. Huxtable '30 singled to left, and pulled up at the third sack as the schoolboy catcher muffed the peg from the field. Davis punched a timely blow to left, scoring Huxtable, and then stole second. P. A. Ketchum '31 ended the inning with a grounder to the key stone sack...
