BY ROBERT T. SMALL. N ROUTE TO ST. LOUIS, October 4—The base ball universe is realizing today that the world series of this year is a real East and West affair. Tomorrow the first world series game to be played west of the Mississippi River will be staged at Sportsman Park, i St. Louis, and there is every reason to believe it will be made the occasion of one of the greatest demonstrations in the history of the national game The St. Louls Cardinals, after thelr bad strat in New York on Saturday, came back with such a rush on Sun- day that the impetus of that inspir ing victory behind the steady and crafty pitching of oid Grover Cleve- and Alexander is expected to carry them forward to further deeds of valor on their home grounds. The St. Louls fans, and base ball followers from all the Western country, are waiting impatiently for the team which won its pennant away from | home.

TITLE RIGHT PROVED BY FORT MYER NINE Fort Myer established a clear claim to the northern Virginta dia- mond title yesterday when it easily disposed of Arlington A.C., 10 to 3. The Soldiers already had won the Northern Virginia series and to set at rest any doubt as to thelr supe- riority in the neighborhood agreed to take on Arlington that played in the Capital City loop. McLane, Soldier hurler, however, did not give his op- ponents a look-in, giving them but five hits while his mates were crash- ing 15.

No line illl:l(‘k‘ ble unless the forwards open Nevers and Wilson on the| Pacific Coast last year were great| plungers, but they fine forwards who gave them openings i A good line plunge is shown in the panel at the top. As the fullback plunges ahead at snap of ball, the buck next to him “fades,” that is, drops back as though to throw a for- ward pass. This move tends to make the opposing linesmen raise up and | causes the defensive backs to hesitate a moment_before driving in to plug the hole. That all helps. Andy Smith told me this was his favorite line play when his Golden Bears were Pacific st champions. A linesman takes his position on attack, as shown in Fig. 1, shoulders higher than buttock, feet him and slightly spread, one | forvard of the other. At snap of ball he drives his shoulder into waist opponent, his head between him and runner, and keeps his legs dri under him. When his opponent begins to give he slips by with his shoulder and strikes him with side and leg (Fig. 3), thus finally crushing him to earth and away from play (Fig. 4). A tip for players: Boxing an op- posing linesman is learned in the hard hool of line scrimmage. It takes urage and drive and much practice. Speed in starting, in beating your op- ponent in his charge at snap of ball, is a prime necessity SIX MEN NOW SIGNED | BY LOCAL PRO QUINT With the signing of Russell (Rusty) Saunders of last year's five, George P. Marshall, owner of the Washington Palace team of the American Profes onal Basket Ball League, now has X men under contract for the coming campaign. ‘The others are Manager Ray Ken nedy, Teddy Kearns and Georgie Glascoe, all of last vear's team, and Elmer Ripley and Henry Kiley, new- | comer: Ripley was secured from Brooklyn and Kiley is from Boston.

LOUIS CLUB EVEN Bring Needed Offensive York Plays Listlessly and Sluggishly—Babe Ruth Dogged by Usual Series Hitting Jinx. trength to Team—New BY FREDERICK G. LIEB. EW YORK, October 4—Those two fortunate mid-season pickups on the Cardinals, the 39-year-old pitching veteran, Grover Alexander, and the popular Billy Southworth, McGraw's former utility out- fielder, put the Cardinals back in the 1926 world series when they starred in the first world series game won by a St. Louis team since 1888. Old “Aleck” stopped the Yanks from hitting, and one, Billy Southworth's homer, coming with two mates on, was the wallop which gave St. Louis break the smashing at-| the victory. However, it was no more than the St. Louis victory would have been no Louis team in For without right that this pair should shine in Alexander and Southworth, there a world serics. It was the additional offensive and defensive strength which these two men added to the Cardi- nals which made it possible for the and Pittsburgh in the National League race. than Hornsby himseli. Eleven years have elapsed since Alexander last appeared amid world serles surroundings, but Grover was! better yesterday than when he went down before Carrigan's Red Sox, 2 to 1, In the fourth game of the 1915 seties. Yankees Have Brief Lead. The Yanks touched him up rather freely in the second, when Meusel, Lazzeri and Dugan bunched single: With an excusable error by Aleck. a hastened throw, it g: ew York a brief lead of two runs. Grover cut that rally short by fanning Severeid and Shocker. ‘That was a sample of what was to happen, after Combs led off the third with a single, the tall right-hander got the next 21 Yanks in order. Alex- ander used that puzzling fadeaway, his stock in trade these many years ‘The Yanks thought they saw it, and then they didn't He ylelded only four hits, struck out 10 men and was so deadly effec tive that only one St. Louls outflelder got a putout. While Southworth always stung a ball pretty hard, he never had a repu tation for being a home-run hitteT un- til McGraw traded him to St. Louis. Billy had only four home runs when he was traded to St. Louls, but fin- ished the season with 16. Those 12 made by the Cardinal usually were inserted at the most useful moments. Yesterday Billy contributed a val uable single to St. Louis' two-run rally in the third, but saved the big lick for the seventh. That was the inning which O'Farrell opened with a double and Tommy Thevenow fol- lowed with a single. Almost Got Out of It. For several minutes, it looked as though rban Shocker, the big York spit-baller, would work hims out of this hole. He retired Alexan- der on an infleld pop and Douthit hit a short fly to Meusel, too short for O'Farrell to attempt to score. Shocker pitched adly to South- worth. Southworth hits high balls, but is weak on balls pitched across his knees. But Urban floated one in, high and on the inside and Southworth pasted it over Ruth’s head into the bleachers. That was the blow which put the morale and confidence back into the Cardin: After that they played with 11 strain and tension gone. They again were the slugging Cardinals, confident, cocky and sure of victory. While the Yankees were hog-tied h\'| Alexander’s brilliant pitching, the New York club again looked listless and sluggish. I take nothing from Alex- | ander, but the Yanks yesterday again were the feeble team which slumped through the West two weeks ago, the club which almost blew a ten-game lead in three weeks. Ruth again disappointed. With all Pierce-Arrow Motor Trucks have been doing More er at Less Cost Cards to_ finish ahead of Cincinnati None is freer to admit that of his great hitting, the Babe appar- ently labors under a world series bat- ting finx.

He retired the side In order in the fourth, fifth and sixth innings. The score was and 2. and it looked as though one run in the late innings would decide it. but Urban met his Waterloo in the seventh. T want to say a word about Tommy Thevenow, St. Louis' young shortatop Before the serles started I sald I ex- pected Thevenow to be the same kind of a shortstop for St. Louls that Ev erett Scott was for the Red Sox in 1915, 1916 and 1918. He again played a whale of a fielding game vesterday and cracked out two hits, one of them being a comedy home run when Ruth couldn’t find the ball. (Covyright. 1926.)
