~~ THIS is the first year in big league ball for six members of the St. Louis Cardinals and the second season for eight others, including Stan Musial and Howie ~ Pollet, who came up only in the last part of the 1941 campaign. : Only three Cardinals have ever been In a world series prior to the current classic, Ken O'Dea, Harry Gumbert and Lloyd Moore, \ «++ The only others who have been in the majors long enough to _ rate veterans are Terry Moore, Enos Slaughter, Jimmy Brown, Mort * Cooper, Martin Marion and Coaker Triplett. . . . Only three of the whole team are 30 years of age. © All the New York Yankees are world series veterans except Buddy Hassett, Hank Borowy, Roy Cullenbine and John Lindell. The latter two are the only ones who broke in the majors this year, The customary “free loading” for the thirsty press and dis tinguished visitors is out in this series because the USO is to benefit * from the receipts. If any tickets fall into the hands of scalpers at the New York end of the series they will reap a juicy bankroll. . . . This is indicated by the tremendous sum of money refunded by the Yankees because they couldn't come close to filling the requests received.

Times Special Writer
EN ROUTE TO NEW YORK, Oct. 2.—That fine upstanding apostle of complete justice, namely Col. Even Stephen, had control of the series as it moved Eastward today but there was much discussion as to the manner in which the colonel assumed control. There was that three base hit by the Cardinals’ ' Kurowski which drove home a very important run
the Cardinals had two on and none out. Bonham got the next two hitters, and, as you can see, the side should have been retired without a score. ‘Up came the catching Cooper ‘and he slashed ‘a double to right, and two runs came over. Even the double might have been averted if Bonham hadn't been so eager to pitch to Cooper. Gordon was feinting at second to keep Brown close
that trying to go from first to third on a short single against Slaughter’'s arm was Stainback’s own inspiration. If so, somebody in the Yankee dugout should tell him Mr, Slaughter doesn’t fool when he starts throwing. What the young man had in mind, of course, is that he could score from third on a fly ball but at no time did he have a thance to to make it. The most

asked in chinning about the incident. “Magerkurth,” we answered. “Well, the ball was foul then,” snapped the party of the second part, manifestly not a frantic Magerkurth fan. Magerkurth called it fair, of course. From our position in the lofty press box we couldn’t tell for sure, though we thought the ball just nicked the white marker. Either way, four or fair, it was excitingly close. To the Yankees, not normally a protesting team, it was foul.
Vital Decision
As the game was played, this turned out to be a vital decision; at least the difference between a tie in nine innings or a defeat in nine innings, and; as you know, the final figures showed the Yankees on the losing side, 4-3. But they didn’t get there solely on account of Magerkurth, whether he was right or wrong. They played bad baseball and beat themselves. They gave the Cardinals two runs in the first inning and threw away another run in their ninth. In a game that ends 4-3 it is evident just how much that would hurt. Bonham was the Yankee pitcher yesterday. He's distinguished for his control. Yet he passed the first hitter, Brown, to face him. Moore laid down a sacrifice bunt and Bonham wheeled and tried for the force at second. The throw was high and. it never was a certainty he would have got the runner anyway. These Cardinals move from
base to base with great rapidity.

Through the Slot
The Cardinals started 23-year-old Johnny Beazley of Nashville, Tenn., and he pitched a fine ball game. He came within one out of blanking the Yankees which would have been their first such humiliation in a world series since 1926 when Jess Haines of another Cardinal club gave them the back of his neck. There were two down in the eighth when the Yankees got their first run. Cullenbine singled and stole second and DiMaggio, getting his fourth hit of the series, singled h home. Next up was Keller and he, in true Yankee fashion, belted the first pitch, a fast ball, out of the park. That tied it up, 3-3. . Supposedly that sudden demonstration of dynamite—one pitch and it's all even—had to do something to the morale of the Cardinals and particularly to Beazley, a freshman making his first appearance in any series. Probably it did. Dickey led off for the Yankees in the ninth and was safe when Brown kicked his grounder. Stainback was sent in to run for him. Hassett, who hadn’t hit Beazley all day, singled to right—and there happens to be a fellow named Slaughter out there for the Cardinals, and when he throws a ball it has been well thrown, brother. Naturally, Stainback is off with the crack of the bat; he turns sec-

Bonham’s futile throw on the sac-
rifice bunt and Stainback’s imper-
sonation of the Headless Horseman + + . contributed enormously to the Yankees’ defeat. So did young Mr. Beazley. So did the over-all sprightly play of the Cardinals who came back from their first game defeat astonishingly composed. They were all tightened up in the ofiener— that is, until that big ninth inning when they discovered all of a sudden they could actually score against the Yankees. The tonic effect of that rally is not to be ignored in any calculations of this team’s chance to win the series,
