By the Associated Press. EW YORK, September 28—The New York Yankees, monarchs of the American League for 1926, and the St. Louis Card‘nals, stand- ard-bearers in the National circuit for the first time in base ball history, were grooming themselves today for the first world series conflict in the Yankee Stadium Saturday. The triumphant Yankees returned to New York last night from the final swing through the West that saw them clinch the pennant with double victories over the St. Louis Browns last Saturday. Most of the Cardinal regulars have been resting here since games with the Giants and Brooklyn the latter part of last week. “We'll beat 'em,” Babe Ruth announced as he elbowed his way at the head of the exuberant Yankee gang through the small crowd that surrounded the players’ special. “There'll be nothing to it.” ‘Absolute confidence in their ability | confident we're going to win,” Hug- fnal bid for the | &InS sald last night when he climbed to lurbr;:&‘!‘l‘( lhei Ca-'m" o kb L for e |down from the train. “Ttl be which- base champlonship of the world, | aver team does the hitting, and we're along with mingled relief and satls- | sure we're going to do it.
