: ENROUTB TO ST. LOUIS WITH
ATHLETICS, Oct. 8. (AP) The world
champion Athletics sped westward
today for the concluding world aeries
drama, looking and acting like any
thing but a club possibly on the
verge of being shorn of Its title.
They must win the sixth game to
morrow at St. Louis to prolong the
fight but they are already talking
about the fun they will have with
the Cardinals In the seventh and de
ciding contest. To a man they oon
alder the sixth game and another
deadlock theirs for ths simple reason
they do not see bow George Livings
ton Earnahaw can lose.
Mack Confident
Connie Mack smiles and says "Yes,
I have a lot of confidence In George."
The players think Earnahaw certainly
will pitch Friday and If he wine, they
regard It likely the famous right
hander will start the seventh game
Saturday, with Lefty Grove In reserve
both days.
"The way I look at It." said Mickey
Cochrane today, "Earnshaw has
shown he can over-power the Cards
that Is, all but this Martin. He haa
ahown he can do the Iron man atunt.
He told me yesterday he felt like
pitching. He pitched successive
games in both the IMS and 1930
aerlea with only a day In between."
Earnahaw la one of the few who
tfoesnt participate In the general hi
larity of the world champions en
route. Big George prefers relaxation
and a quiet conversation to the bois
terous exohange of wise-cracks or
poker game. He looks' very muoh like
great right-handed pitcher who felt
oonfldent he could "bear down" on
the opposition and smother them
whenever required. He's the one big
reaaon why the A'e an still oonfldent
they will take two In a row and win
the series.
Martin In Talk
You hear plenty about a young
gent named Martin In the gabfeets
of the world champions,
"When Martin came to bat about
the third time yesterday," remarked
Cochrane, "I aald to him: "Say, kid,
don't you ever pop out?" He came
right back: 'I'm Just In there swing
ing and getting the breaks',"
It Is a new experlenoe for the A's
this business of being raided, ' her
raesed and generally made to appear
trifle foolish by a rookie, but It
haa gone tar enough now ao that
they can laugh about the sheer
audacity and brilliance of the Cardi
nal outfielder. There may be a bit
of worrv behind the laughs but the
A'a have the gallantry to take their
hats off to a youngster able to come
through aa Martin haa done with
very resource of a great team and
famous manager put agalnat him.
"1 dont know bow to. atop hlm,M
admitted Cochrane. "He haa hit
everything we have tried against him
high or low, fireballs or elowballa."
To Use Bishop, Haas
Mack's ehake-up of his lineup in
the fifth game, with McNalr replac
ing Bishop at second, Jim Moore go
ing to the outfield In plaoe of Haas,
waa believed merely a one-day emer
gency measure designed to break
through Wild BIU Hallahan'a defense.
Both Bishop and Haaa likely wlU
tart tomorrow, especially If Burleigh
Crimea la ttx cardinal pitching
ehotos.
The A'e believe that with Earnahaw
invincible and Grove "due" they have
an edge In pitching over the Cardi
nals, who must rely on Grimes and
Hallahan without giving either his
customary rest.
Earnahaw, In Cochrane opinion,
wa never taster than In winning the
fourth game. The A'e backstop met
Jim Collins. Card plnch-hltter who
truck out, and was asked whether
one of Big Oeorge'a strikes had much
of a break on It. "Only about a
foot," Cochrane replied. "I thought
o." said Collins, "but I'm not sure
I saw It."

and could "run tho sacks equally as
well as Cobb."
Miles, slightly bewildered at such
affront, looked the lanky lad over
and said, rather caustically, "and I
guess you hit 'em like Ruth.' Not
the least abashed, Martin replied:
"Ruth hits 'em pretty far," and with
a shake of his head added, "but I
hit 'em pretty far myself, Mr. Miles."

The Eureka squad Is not taking
the locals lightly, remembering the

Coach Burgher has not announced
