LOUIS, Oct. 5—Ken O'Dea’s pinch hit single in the eleventh inning this afternoon, scoring Ray Sanders, gave the 8t. Louis Card- !inals a 3 to 2 decision over the St. Louis Browns in the second game of the 1944 world series, squaring the baseball classic at one game each. Today’s game was the first extra inning contest in a world series since 1937 and the longest since 1935 and was made possible when the Browns rallied to score twice in the sixth inning on Gene Moore’s single, Red Hayworth’s double, and Frank Mancuso’s pinch single. ‘The Cardinals took advantage of the defense lapses of the American League champions and four errors, of which Potter made two in one inning on an infield out. It was a great game, however, with real ball playing, and the capacity crowd was kept on edge until the final score was made. ‘Tomorrow the Browns will be the ‘home team, the Cards starting off. e TED SAMPLES UNDER | INVESTIGATION FOR KNIFING ATS WORKER | Accused of drawiung a knife on Cliff Campbell in one of the local |bars about 1:30 o'clock this morn- ing, Ted Samples is being held by the local police for investigation by the District Attorney’s office and the office of the U. 8.
