LOUIS, October 11 (&) — ‘Thomas M. Kearney, veteran St. Louis betting commissioner, asserts today more money was wagered in the last world series than any he re- calls.

The success of the new world cham- plons is a striking indorsement of “chain store” base ball. As developed in far-flung and highly efficient organiza- tion by the Cardinals, it is & gold mine | of player wealth such as no major league club in history has ever possessed. Major links in_the chain furnished two of the three Cardinal heroes in the victorious seven-game battle with the two-time world champions. Martin, the freshman outfield sensation, was recruited in Arkansas and polished up for “varsity” duty by the Rochester “Jayvees.” Hallahan, the brilliant southpaw, was picked from Syracuse and taught the fine art of control at Houston, enother strong outpost in the system. The resources appear limitless, just as the results continue eminently satis- factory. No ballyhoo is needed for an organization that can turn up such t young players in short order as lbert, Watkins, Martin, Hallahan, Derringer and Jim Collins, in addition to the colorful “Dizzy” Dean, who will ioin the varsity for 1932 after proving | imself just about the best young right- der in the minors. The Cardinals now have captured four Natlonal League pennants and two world _champlonships in six _years. They have broken even with the two greatest outfits the American League has been able to put together, the Yankees and Athletics. They have done more than any club to restore National League prestige since the New York Giants were at the top 10 years ago. Cards More Resourceful. Pew but the Cardinals themselves, prior to the million-dollar base ball show of 1931, figured they could break even against the pitching of Grove and Earn- shaw. Extraordinary developments, such as the amazing five-game streak of Pep- per Martin and the benefit of the “breaks” in the final game, helped favor the Cardinal cause. Nevertheless, when 1t came to the seventh and final contest, the Red Birds were the steadier, scrap- pier, more resourceful club. shaw, the hero of the 1930 series, mnot only was pushed off his pedestal by | the exploits of Martin, but the great right-hander wound up as the hard- Juck figure of the 1931 battle. In three games last year big George held the Cardinals to 13 hits and & pair of runs, blanked them for 22 innings in a row. This year in three frays he yielded 12 | hits and six runs, but lost the decision twice. In six games against the Cards Earn- shaw has blanked them in 43 out of 49 innings. He has yiclded an average of only four hits per game. He was beaten, not only because he couldn't check Pepper Martin, but because his teammates went 17 agninst the combined twirling of Hal- Jafan and Grimes. The well known law of averages had A big time functioning in this year's base ball party. It caught up with Earmshaw and the Athletics. It leveled things off for Grimes, whose skill and courage carried him to two brilliant triumphs, including a two-hit conquest, before his arm and strength gave out in the dramatic final inning. Street’s Men Shine. Grimes beat both Earnshaw and Grove to square accounts for 1930. It brought the Martin bomber down to earth, to the disappointment of the home-town fans and the safety of & number of world series records, after the wildest individual raid in base ball e Cardinal “big three,” Martin, Hallahan and Grimes, had fine support from Captain Frisch and Catcher Jim- my Wilson. The Red Bird backstop furnished a surprising feature by out- playing his_renowned rival, Mickey Cochrane. Worn out by a hot Sum- mer's campaign, Cochrane was below his usual standard, both at bat and on 1S He hit for a mere .160. Is took sufficient liberties with Mickey and his pitchers to post 9 stolen bases, 5 of them by Martin. ‘Wilson, except for his mental lapse in throwing to the wrong base in the hectic ninth inning of the second game, gave a superb exhibition of backstopping and also outhit his all-America rival. ‘The outcome of the series may hasten Connie Mack’s reconstruction program | ¢. for the attempt to win a fourth straight American League pennant and regain the world championship honors in 1932.

EW YORK, October 12.— Pive key forced himself into the foreground of the heavyweight at Ebbets Field. Tonight the burly Bostonian will stand in that same ring years ago tonight Jack Shar- picture by winning from Harry Wills at Ebbets Field in an effort to restore from which he has slipped because of his inconsistent performances. Opposed to him will be the huge figure of Primo Carnera of Italy, mystery man of the heavyweight realm. Five years ago tonight Sharkey set tune. Tonight, in the same setting, he will either regain some of his lost lustor or fall into utter disrepute as a heavyweight threat. In the years following his unexpected triumph over Wills, the big black buga- boo of the heavyweight division at that time, Sharkey has been up and down, up and down. Bout Twice Postponed. ‘Twice has this joust been postponed. Originally scheduled for June, when it might have attracted a gate of $250,- 000, it was blocked when the Madison Square Gerden Corporation took its ironclad _contract with Carnera to court. The Garden had expected to | match Carnera with Schmeling in Sepfember. hen it became apparent a Schmel- ing-Carnera bout was impossible this year, Carnera was free to fight Shar- | key and the contest was scheduled for | October 1. This time Sharkey begged off with an injury to the little finger of his left hand and the fight was post- poned until tonight. Promoter Jimmy Johnston hopes for a gate of nearly $200,000, but more con- scrvative estimates place the receipts closer to half that figure. The two postponements and the general lcss of interest in boxing have taken the edge off the show. Can’t Guage Fighters. ‘Then, too, there is the general un- certainty as to the ability of the fight- ers. Sharkey has been consistently in- consistent. sistently victorious that suspicions have | been aroused. In short, nobody knows just how to figure either of them. | Shorkey may make a masterful fight; he may blow up completely. | Carnera may be a really good fighter: he may be just a giant stuffed with the straw of numerous knockouts over set-ups. ‘There probably will be little betting on the fight.

They 21l tried hard, and I have nothing but praise for them. “I wasn't looking for personal glory. I wanted the boys to win so that they would get the winners' share and I wanted to win for the Philadelphia fans, who have been so loyal to us. These are the two things I was inter- ested in. It's over now and we'll start thinking about next year.” Loss Cost A's Plenty. The loss of that seventh game Satur- day cost each member of the A's just $1494.75. As it is they will receive $2.989.50 apiece as their share of the receipts of the first four games. They decided to cut their own melon 30 ways, remembering Connie Mack, coaches and Alh? trainer. | The team did not return from St. | Louis intact. Simmons, Cochrane and | Lefty Grove set off from there on a barnstorming tour of the Orient. Others went directly to their homes or away for vacation trips.

Today Red, by yirtue of sets of 389, 344 and 420, is sporting an average of 128 in the District League.
