DERRINGER TO i START SERIES St. Louis, Sept. 29. — <U.R> — A lanky Kentuckian, Paul Derringer, is expected to go to the mound for' the St. Louis Cardinals Thursday in the opening game with the Philadelphia Athletics for the world s championship. Derringer, with IS Victorio , and eight defeats in his first ye-.r of major league ball, appeared Manager Charles (Gabby) Streets: choice today, with either Bill Hall-, ahan, only Cardinal southpaw, or Sylvester Johnson, slated to pitch; the second game of the series. Street, with two of his regulars , nursing injuries, had other things ■ to think about before definitely de-1 tiding on Derringer, but admitted: he favored the former Rochester, ace. Burleigh Grimes is likely toj be held in reserve. The spitball veteran has been off forth lately. | With Jesse Haines definitely off I the list of pitching possibilities due: to a slow' healing shoulder muscle, 1 : and Sparky Adams, third baseman.: and Peppe Martin, center fielder, | with leg injuries, the Cardinals | faced the series in far from peak L condition. Betting odds on the; Athletics to win lengthened as ai result. The American league champions I were quoted at one to two to take ; their third successive worlds! championship. A fortnight ago[ they were 7 to 10 favorites. Thej Cards were quoted at 3 to 2 on the series, and as high as 4 to 1 to | take two games straight. Last week they were quoted at even money for the series. Despite the odds, there was a I perky feeling in the Cardinal camp. It centered around two beliefs. I One was that Lefty Grove, having won 31 games this year, is due tor a few reverses. The other that Jim Bottomley, dismal batting failure of last year’s series, has re-

gained his eye. The Cards, after a "victory parade’ through downtown streets to- ’ day, planned to continue their hitting practice against left hand .pitching. With Lefty Grove in I mind, they imported Bill Walker.. New York Giants southpaw, to help out. Walker has been effective against the Red Birds this I year. His delivery is similar to ' Grove’s.

ATHLETICS TO LEAVE TODAY Philadelphia. Sept. 29. — (U.R) — This was get-away day for the . Philadelphia Athletics who were l to leave soon after sunset for St. ' Louis where Connie Mack will at- ’ | tempt to win his third consecutive I world series championship, a feat as yet unrecorded. [ The Athletics engaged in their last pre-series game when they were ; shut out yesterday by their home i town rivals, the Phillies, in an tini employment benefit game. Incidentally, the defeat at the hands of the Phillies was the second in | succession sustained by the Mackmen. On Sunday the New York i Yankees closed the American leaj gue season with a 13-1 victory over I the A's. I Among the fans the big topics i were the matter of obtaining tic- | kets except by purchase from the ) speculators, and the question: ’ Who's going to pitch the first I game? I Most of the street-corner experts 1 I have Robert Moses Grove assign-, led to the opening pitching assign- ; ment. Others recall how Mack ■ sent Howard Ehmke to pitch the | : first game of the 1929 series with j Chicago, and believe he will nominate Waite Hoyt, cast-off of the [ Yankees and the Detroit Tigers. I for the opener. The fans here are fairly well i agreeiFThat PaPul Derringer, husky i right-hander, w ill be the first St. [Louis pitcher to face the bats of Foxx. Simmons and the others. i Many local enthusiasts, however, j know’’ that Jess Haines, also a I right-hander, will draw the assign- , ment. There’s a story going the rounds i here, that reports of Haines’ ill-1 I ness and probable unavailability I are what are known as the honus--1 bolognus. Some fans here believe that | Gabby Street.
