As Big George Earnshaw cracked tbe whip-lash of his fast ball, the ' Athletics today won the fourth of i the World Series' game, 3 to 0. Now its a deadlock, at two games each, in one of the most spectacu lar battles of all time for the base ball championship. Earnshaw held the Cardinals to a pair of hits, both made by the ir repressible "Pepper" Martin, sensa tional rookie outflielder. The big pitcher was invincible with a fire ball that had most of the other Red Brds in a daze. It was Martin who almost single handed "stole" the second game of the series from Earnshaw with his spectacular base running. Bui the big right-hander permitted no Car dinal foot to reach third base this afternoon, as he bore down with blinding speed on the three occa sions he was threatened. Knock Oat Johnson. The big sluggers of the "A's" emerged from their two-dw coma to knock 8ylvester Johnson out of the box In the sixth inning with an attack featured by Jimmy Poxx"s terific home run over the left field stands. The world champions col lected ten hits off the combined of ferings of Johnson and Jim Llnd sey. twice as many as they gained off Hallahan and Grimes In two previous contests. They looked every Inch the part of world champions in squaring the Series, thereby making it certain that the warring forces will return to St. Louis to decide the issue af tar playing the fifth game here to morrow. Another capacity crowd of 32,395 fans yelled Itself hoarse as Earn shaw twirled the second two-hit j game of the series. It was more effective, though perhaps not quite so thrilling and dramatic as Bur leigh Orlmes1 two-hit victory of the day before. Coming on top of BUI Hallahan's three-hit shutout and Grimes' great performance, however, Earnshaw** added to one of the greatest of pitching In World ? ' a ?
