CARDS STRONG FAVORITES NOW Even Money Offered That St. Louis Will Win Next Two Contests St. Ixjuls. Mo., Oct. 6.—(United j>,. as) —Leading bv two games to One, after three hectic battles of the world's series, the St. Louis Cardinals, champions of the National League, were in a spot today that old base ball men classed as “The t After beating the New York Yankees in two straight games, the Cardinals turned into a two to one favorite to win the series and even tnonev was being offered that the series would be ended here in the next two games, and that the players and the travelers would not have to return to New York for the week end. Yesterday’s victory was a 4 to 0 shutout in which Haines proved too much for the famed Yankee sluggers As was predicted before the series opened. the Cardinals seem to be in possession of better pitchers than the Yankees. Miller Huggins has used up Pennock. Shocker. Reuther. Shawkey and Thomas and he has only Waite Hoyt as a starting pitcher for the next game. Rogers Hornsby, on the other hand, has Flint Rhem. Reinhart, Keen and Wee W Hie Sberdel ready to go to work and they are all good pitchers The Cardinals also are hitting when hits are needed, and the heavy art'Hery of the Yankees has been a complete bust. Ruth hasn’t been able to hit the slow balls that are being tossed at him every time he comes to the plate. Bob Meusel, another of the Yankee shock troops, hasn’t been able to get a h't in the series and only Buster Gehrig, the former Columbia Univer sity star, has been living up to promises. St. Louis now has all the advantage with a team full of pepper, plenty of pitchers waiting to work, and a town full of the wildest baseball fans that the major league circuit knows of. The two games in New York set up a record for attendance and receipts, but in the first game in St. Louis a mark certainly was made for noise and real baseball enthusiasm. The Yankees were jeered at every chance — despite requests in the papers to “be fair”—but the crowd couldn't hurt the Yankees — Jess Haines attended to that. The attendance, despite the rain and other inconveniences, ‘made a new record for St. Louis, but it was he*•* **-****• *■,.. the gam .u aew lock ami tne tens of thousands that were ridden over by the mounted police before the Sunday game started iu New York. o— —

The Fourth Down A By Willie Punt

The Yellow Jackes are preparing to make a gieat fight against the Port land Panthers here Saturday after noon. All indications point to a red hot battle. The Junior band wll be out to help the Yellow Jackets win. Saturday. It has been several years since I). H. S had a band out for the games. Why not doll up the old town Saturday and put a little football spirit in the air. The Portland colors are Purple and White, and, as you all know, the Yellow Jackats fight for the Purple and Gold. The kick-off is scheduled for 2:15 sharp. The game will have to be play(d on the South Ward gridiron, as the Niblick Field east of the river is still under water. Tickets for the Portland game will go on sale tomorrow. They will be twenty-flvd cents for school children and fifty cents for adults. > The Anderson team finally won a game, but they had to pick on a deaf and dumb school

After bumping off thetr first two | opponents by top-heavy scores, the I Bicknell gridders stubbed their toes last Saturay and Central of Evansj vllle won. 14-13. •I The Peru Tigers are still on a rampage. The way the Peru team trampled over Rochester Saturday, 46-0. it looks as though .Coach Redmon must have had some real for sure tigers from the circus winter quarters in his lineup. „ The Bluffton Tigers make their initial home appearance next Saturday in a game wtjth Garrett. LuPorte beat Garrett, last Saturday, 13 6.
