With apparently another “subway series" assured war-time restrictions on travel didn't worry diamond officials. Then along came the Cardinals and upset the "dream arrangements." A "how-to-get-everybody-there-ln-time" problem faced commissioner Kentwaw M Landis and hl* aide* after a meet lug yesterday settled the routine series arrangements. | The fall diamond classic will open Sept. 30 Tn the park of the National league winner with the second game there Oct. 1. If the Cardinals are the senior circuit representative there'll be a day allotted for travel between the second anti third games and the fifth and slxtli contests, if the series goes that fur 1 Should the Dodgers rally to take - the pennant, the first six games. If' that many are required, will be|| played <>n consecutive days at Eh-h belt's Field ami Yankee stadium. , Regardless ot whether the Cards or the Dodgers meet the Yankees, there'll he an open date between th sixth ami seventh games if the series goes the limit.
