ST. LOUIS is a baseball stronghold and will be during the next week or 10 days. . .. And it’s a bitterly divided sports stronghold, the home of the champion Cardinals and the champion Browns. . . . Cardinal sup--porters are shouting “Quiet, please,” Brownie adherents still ‘are shouting “Hip, hip, hooray.” ~~ Clvically speaking, St. Louis has nothing to lose in this world series, , ., It has the diamond classic all wrapped up. ... But Junior, Solomon, the Sportsman's park batboy, was confronted with a tough decision after the Browns nailed down the American league flag Sunday, for he has served both Cardinels and Browns this year. With both of them playing in the series, he had to choose between the two... . But he got out of the difficulty by some quick thinking. . . . He said he would be the batboy for the “home” team. ~The Cardinals will be the “home” club for the first two games, tomorrow and Thursday. . . . Friday, Saturday and Sunday, if the series goes into gufifth game, will have the Browns wearing the white uniforms. : {
~ Next Tuesday Open in Event of Tie
“IN the event the wmeries should go six or seven games, ihe Cardinals will move back to the third-base dugout. . . . An open date has been declared for Tuesday of next week should a three-three tie prevail, to enable the clubs to sell the final block of tickets. This is all a new experience for every member of the Browns. « + » Not one of the players ever had been on a big league pennant winner before. . . . Manager Luke Sewall and Coaches Zach Taylor and Fred Hofmann had experienced the thrill in their playing days.
This Corner ‘Likes’ the Cardinals
ALTHOUGH the Browns finished the regular season hotter than a firecracker, this corner is picking the Cardinals in six games, mainly on superior pitching: , . . However, the Browns do not have ° to take a back seat in the mound department. . .., They may not have a Cooper, a Wilks or a Brecheen, but they do have a top performer in Nelson Potter, a righthander who won 19 games against only seven setbacks in regular season. . . , Jack Kramer, Bob Munerief, Denny Galehouse and Sig Jakucki also are better than fair. And you can never tell in a brief series. ... Look what happened to the Milwaukee Brewers in the American association playoff and to the Detroit Tigers against Washington's last-place club.
Notre Dame Introduces New Kickoff Style JAMES KEARNS, Chicago Sun, who watched Notre Dame's footballers crush Pittsburgh last Saturday, reveals that the Irish a yeas Without having anyone hold the ball... , earns : merely sets the ball flat on the ground, pointing downfield, takes two steps and kicks a line drive . . . and that the ball almost invariably takes a crazy bounce when it comes down and the opposition has to chase it around to fleld it, making the style fairly effective for the kicking team.

Sentiment Favors Brownies
CHICAGO, Oct. 3 (U.P), — Judge Kenesaw. M. Landis will miss the world series for the first time during his 24 years as baseball commissioner when the St Louis Browns and the St. Louis Cardinals open the annual classic tomorrow, - The 78-year-old baseball czars office announced yesterday that “because : of illness, which although not serious, prohibits the commissioner from traveling in the judgment of his physician, the judge will be unable to attend the series.” Landis appointed Les M. O’Con-

be overlooked was the ability of the Browns to come through when the chips were down. "D They may not belong on the same fleld as the Cardinals so far as ability is concerned, but they don't have to take a back seat to any club when it comes to spirit. And that could be the difference, although the odds were against it.
