With Charley Keller in there to contribtte’ His Power’ pitiches, the Yanks might possibly win in four games. But, without him, and with several other regulars under par physically—I say five or six games. St. Louis should afford the Yanks more trouble than Brooklyn. The cards not only have power but they boast the fastest team in the majors. And their young, fast and tricky pitchers—Ernie White and Howie Pollet and Howard Krist—would give the New Yorkers trouble. The probable loss of Terry Moore and| Enos Slaughter from daily action,| though, would crimp the Cards’ chances. No team has more hustle and spirit than the Dodgers. Brooklyn has been getting the breaks all season and has won more than its share of extra inning contests. That luck might continue into the series. Wyatt definitely should bother the Yanks. And they might have diffi- culty with Kirby Higbe. But Brook- lyn can’t match the Yankee batting power. It should be a good tight series with the Yanks just a little too tough for their rivals. Hollywood Isin Lead In Playoff (By Associated Press) Hollywood last night took a 3 to 2 lead over Seattle in the Pacific Coast League Shaughnessy playoff series, unleashing a five-run attack in the ninth innng. The game was deadlocked from the fourth inning until the ninth inning rally when Bob Kahle’s homer with two men on bases open- ed the Hollywood rally.

In other years some have said that anyone could direct the Yan- kee talent troupe but this season they've admitted Joe's clever han- dling of a corp of chunkers with- out a single big winner has con- tributed large to the American League triumph of the Bronx Bombers. McCarthy has picked spots for his hurlers and strung the starting assignments among his eight-man staff. This is the seventh champion- ship Marse Joe has won, six with | the Yankees and one with the Na- {tional Reague Cubs. Only John J. McGraw and Connie Mack have |woh more. "That's quite a record for a chap| who never was good enough as af | bersonnel player to get into the big leagues. McCarthy never batted over .280, never hit more than six home run: in anv one season in the Amcrican Agsociation, and wound up bossing pe.uups the greatest coliection ot lon~-distance blasters in baseball history. Joe started playing ball in 1906, reached his peak as a Jeayer win Lowisville around 1918 and managed Louisville from 1919 to 1926, He was a fair fielder and poor hitter. It was a trick kneecap—injured in a schoolboy sandlot game— that more than anything else ‘kept him out of the majors. McCarthy was so erratic as A fielder and futile as a batter in 1911 that Jimmy Burke, then In- dianapolis manager, yelled at him, i“You're no good at anything else, {0 just grab that bat bag and {cart it to the clubhouse.” McCar- thy had the pleasure, years late:, of hiring as coach for the Chicago Cubs the man who had made him a bat boy. | McCarthy got his first big | league chance as manager of the Cubs in 1926. He was let out late in 1930 and soon hired as Yankee pilot. . At the star, both in Chicago and New York, Joe had a serious problem. McCarthy . is a great bellever in conditioning, team play and discipline. The Cubs’ ' star ~twirler was Grover Oleveland Alexander, who didn't see eye-to-eye with Joe. McCarthy soon showed his courage by sell- ing the great Alex to the Cardi- have a card in the mng‘clans‘lnnls' B In New York Babe Ruth nwsu:‘d him, McCarthy handled Ruth dif~ ferently, He just let the Babe handle himself, And they got along all right, s McCarthy is a squat, square- jawed Irishman, smart and tael- turn, who chews gum rapidly oh the bench and smokes fat black cigars away from the park. He dislikes to see players puffing on pipes, says it gives the appear- ance they are too content. He abhors cap-wearers.
