World Series

Sixth Game. Connie Mack calmly walked out of the dugout and went upstairs to his private office overlooking a street crowded with Philadelphia baseball fans going home to supper. "While this victory does give me my fifth world championship," said he, "I don't think the credit should come to me, but to the team." For once, Manager Gabby Street of the St. Louis Cardinals was not loquacious. "We lost--it's no disgrace. You can't win ball games if you don't score runs," was about all he had to say. Doubtless Gabby Street was thinking how earlier that afternoon the arm of big George Earnshaw of the Athletics, 6 ft. 4 in. Swarthmore alumnus, had moved back and forth, inning after inning, while the Cardinal batters took turns striking out, grounding out, popping out. Street had made one mistake himself. Instead of putting in his best fresh pitcher, Haines, when Wild Bill Hallahan blew up, he had tried first Sylvester Johnson, then Jim Lindsey. The Philadelphians had hit both of them hard. St. Louis did not get a man around the bases till the ninth, when Earnshaw was coasting along with a big lead. In the dressing room Jimmy Dykes autographed 17 balls, each one of them submitted to him as the ball he knocked on a line into the left field bleachers in the fourth inning. Game score: Philadelphia 7, St. Louis 1. Series score: Philadelphia 4, St. Louis 2.

Figures. Total gross gate for the series was $953,772. To each member of the winning team: $5,038. To each of the losers: $3,350.
