. Cardinals Win World Series From Red Sox t St. lamia. Oct 18.—(UP)—They added another world serie* pennant to the St. Ix>ulh Cardinals' ~ baseball flagpole today and this one. the alxth that hi* come to , the Redbird*, was the best of them I all. For it came the hard way in one l of the mod dramatic seven-game series in major league history. The . boy* who weren't supposed to win did, and the fellows who figured I to take the championship were on the outside looking in. Those fellow* were the Boston Red Sox and they lost their chance' f r baseball glory because one of them didn't have it when the chip* were down. Harry (The Cat) Bre-1 cheen, Harry Walker and Mike; Gon sale*, of the Cardinal*, were! ' the heroes, but they couldn't have, won If It hadn't been for the Boaox'* *hort*top Johnny Peaky. A* thing* turned out, he wus the goat of the *eri«M along with the heralded Ted William*. The difference wa* that Pesky coat the Red B<>x the championship on an error of commission. Williams Just didn't live up to advance billing, for he got only *ix hits In the 1 aorta*. Pesky's mistake wa* responsiblc tcr the Cardinals' winning the seventh and deciding game yester-' day 4 to 3. A key figure in Boston'* drive to the pennant, he became the goat in their loss of the serie*. Erratic in rhe field although he lived up to hbt name at bat. Pesky, failed to get rid of the ball quickly enough in the eighth inning, allowing Eno* (Country) Slaughter to ucore with the winning run The Red Sox had come up intheir half of the eighth to tie the score and drive little Murry Dickson from the mound. But in doing so, manager Joe Cronin had to pinch hit for hi* pitcher and brought Bob Klinger, who wa*n't good enough to hold on with the last place Pittsburgh Pirates,'to ‘ the hill. f Facing a team be knew well—for I the Cardinals were mighty rough i on him during hi* stay in the National league—Klinger yielded a i single to Slaughter to open theI Cardinal eighth. It looked a* if he * would work out of that trouble when he retired George (Whitey) Kurowokl on a pop fly and catcher Del Rice on a fly ball. But then Walker, who turned out to be the big gun for the Cards, stepped to the plate, caught hold of one of Klinger's fast bails and drove it | Into Centerfield for a hit. It looked like an ordinary single. It turned out to Im* a double and the ball game. Leon Culberson, playing center field in place of Dom DiMaggio, ' who pulled up lame after banging the double which had brought the , Red Sox from behind in the eighth, i came in fast to pick up the hall and rifle it to Pesky on the outfield grass. Pesky, not thinking that Slaughter would try to score on the hit, held the bail until he saw the Cardinal outfielder speeding for home. He let go then with a desperate peg which wan wjde of the plate, is Slaughter crossed with the run I that gave the Cards the series. Ai good throw would have had SlaughI ter by feet and had hot Pesky held [ the bail Slaughter would have been out by yards. While that throw was being I made. Walker galloped Into second w he was credited with a double. As it happened. Gonsales, the third base coach who had been un der fire for the way he hsd been directing traffic on the bases, also played a major role. He waved Slaughter on when probably every other coach In basebail would have held him up. But thia time it turned out to be the right thing to do. so instead of being a goat he was a hero. There was plenty of honor, too, for Brecheen, the first pitcher since ; I 1920 to win three games in a] world series. Coming in In the eighth inning when Dickson faltered. he saved the day for the Cardinals. Their clutchman all year, Brecheen, who bad won the second and I sixth games yielding only .one run and II hits, came through when It looked like he was going to fall After giving up that tylflg double to DiMaggio he closed the Amt with the score even. Then after Slaugh ter, Walker and Pesky corroborated to get that fourth mn in the I eighth he was only three men away from his third victory. It looked bad when the first ’ man to face him, big Rudy York whose home runs won the first and third games singled. It was even worse when Bobby Doerr followed with another single on which , Paul Campbell, running for York.

Cronin wa* farced l» let Roy Partee bat for himself. The best he could do wu* a pop foul to Stan Muslai which left Brecheen < nly one out away. He got that one a minute later when Tom Mcßride, pinch batting for Earl Johnson, the fourth hurler Cronin had used. r grounded into a force out. Even ' then it took a nice play by Marty Marion, still baseball's Mr. Short--1 stop, to close out the game.

He had played a big part in the Cardinal victory, second ' only to the role of Pesky. 0 Indiana Defense Tough On Passes Chicago, Oct. 16 — (UP) — "Bo" McMillin, the little gridiron wizard of Indiana University, today solidified hi* reputation a* one of the nation's top coaches in building a defense against ai passing attack. McMillin twice ha* directed college All Star teams to victory over: the professional champions of the National football league and each time an extremely tight pass defense against two of the game's finest aerial artist* — Sammy Baugh of the Washington Redskin* and Bob Waterfield of the Los Angele* Rams — has been Instrumental in leading to the triumph The Hoosier head master ha* ; demonstrated the same knack in Western conference circle*. As he directed Indiana to its first Big Nine title in history a season ago., McMillin's proteges permitted six league opponent* an average gain of only 62 yards per contest on passe*. A* Indian* now battle* in de-1 sense of it* conference champion- > ship, the Hooslei > once more are proving rugged pass defenders i The latest official statistics re- i leased today show McMillin's outfit ha* permitted its three oppon : ent* to complete only 21.9 per , cent of their aerial* per game. While showing this tight pass' defense, Indiana has proved adept 1 with its own forward |*assing. Th<Hoosiers lead In that department with an average gain of 132 yard* per game through the air. Indiana * passing prowess i* due ito the work of Ben Raimondi. ' 175 pound quarterback. Raimondi, who led the Rig Nine in passing a season ago with 91 completion* in 62 attempts, now top* the circuit with 20 comnletions in 43 tosses. His completion* have netted 254 yard*. Lou Mlhajlovich, junior end, has been Raimondi's favorite target. Mlhajlovich ha* caught nine passes to lead in that department. While Indiana leads the way in passing, the pace-setter in moving by the ground route I* undefeated Northwestern. The Wildcats have averaged 268.5 yards per game by rushing. Michigan, with a 204 yards average, is second and ' third place is held by Illinois with i 194 yard* per game.

I I _. . , . _..___J—, ; —7° Today's Sport Parade By Oscar Fraley (Reg. U. S. F*t. Off.) O— — 0 St. Louis, Oct. 1« — (UP) - It's a long walk from the pitcher s ; mound to the showers hut sometimes It can be a long walk from the hull pen to the slab out there In the middle of the Infield. It was yesterday for a thiufaced fellow named Harry Brecheen who is known to his St. Louis Cardinal teammate* at "the | Cat.” Only once before had it seeped like a long Journey. That was In the twilight at Brooklyn’* Hbbets field a short while ago when the Cat i was called to bait a Dodger rally and win the National league pennant for hl* team. Hut yesterday, as the sun faded behind the grandstand, came the 1 longest one of all. This was the final game of the world series, the payoff contest of the classic, and from the bench came the signal for the Cat to warm up. The tense, anxious crowd didn't see Brecheen. It’s microscopic eye was on a wiry little fellow throwing hi* heart out with a two-run lead as the Boston Bed Sox swung murderously at the bail be tried to crowd past them. Brechaen had thrown only a few unnoticed warm up pitches when Murry Dickson, the little fellow in the middle, folded his hand. •A swift single and a slashing double, and two men in scoring position. That’s when they called for the Cat to protect a threatened two-run lead. It was a long, torturous walk with a cold arm and thousand* of demanding eyes probing every gliding movement of hl* cat-like walk. And a* Brecheen sulked to the box be knew his arm wasn't ready. So Harry threw a few more practice pitches and then reared back with hi* fast ball to blow down Wiley Wally Most,*. Tough John r.y Pesky stood there now, and he went down on a short fly. Then it was Dom DiMaggio, and the curve ball hung in the air a* he pounded it against the wall to score the tying run*. Ted Williams was next, but the Cat got him with a pop fly. So the Cardinal*, the gold and glory slipping from their grasp hammered baek for one bi* run m the last of the eighth and again the Cat moved cauationsly to the mound. That deadly curve bail still was n t working, and Brecheen watch“b” study York and then Bobby Doerr bleated It for singles. But now, suddenly, he knew the arm waa right. So Brecheen hitched up thoae baggy trousers and laid It Into ve enan Pinky Higgln. for a furce uhL 1 ?*?™ 1 to,t now Hke u did when he beat these big babies two I?** “ r W and p,rt *« couldnt g*t anything but a pop out. And now it wu Tom Mcßride looking up the lane and the Cat's , £t bail rocketed back to Jid ; * I That made Brecheen the firsts sxr •** •« ' haXL^U** 1 What mad * hl “ happiest. The payoff wa * the wav b * mates surrounded nirn “Im proudly from th. f|, W . 7“ ’* h repa ‘ d Htrry tb « C*t tT the longest walk he ever took.

Macklin Super Service Madison & Third Sts. 4 Lou Little 1$ Named Coach Os The Week New York. Oct. 10- — (UP) i When the Monday mourners get together for their "whine and dine" sessions he wails as loudly as the most chronic loser, yet on Saturday afternoons his football team convinces him he had no reason to be pessimistic. His boys have come a long way from the dark days of 1913 when week after week an undermanned gang of kids that lacked everything but fight limped through an eight game schedule and "lost 'em all." Thing* are lietter now, and though his current squad isn't rated as tops In the east, they're the section's number one upsetters and are likely to spill a few more perfect records before the season run* its course. He figures his boys will be victims number 23 tn Army's threeyesr victory march Saturday and so do the odd-makers, but even ' the Cadets are concerned over just how powerful hi* team may be. He'* the United Press coach I of the week, lx>u Little, for 17 year* the mentor of Columbia’s roaring Lion*. Already this year Columbia ha* r ruined the perfect record* of two ' • stern hopefuls, first Navy and then Yale, and the Lions did it ' both times with great last halt stand*. In the Navy game which Colum- ( bla won In a 23 to 1* upset, the ( Lions took so much time between the halves that they were pen- ' allied 16 yards before the first , play. They shrugged that off and , went on to run up two touchdowns and a field goal, erasing a 14 to 7 deficit. ’ Last Saturday In the Yale bowl ! against a team that was regarded as the best to represent Ell in more than a decade, Columbia again trailed at half time, if to ’ 0.
