New York, Oct. § (P—The Card- inals, winging their way westward te 8t. Louis today, face a hard as- signment when they get home. They must win two world series games be- fore they can look eye to eye with the New York Yankees. A world series hit.ing slump, de- scending on the National league champions in the first game, remain- ed with them to the end of the sec- ond and alth>ugh the Yankees offer- ed only a medium brand of hitting in the second set-to they managed to get enough safeties to score a 9 to 3 wvictory, with some odd bases on balls contributing. | The Yankees accumulated one more hit in the second game than they did in the first, but their margin of superiority over their rivals was not s0 great as in the opener. The American leaguers outhit the Red Birds 7 to 3 in the initial bout, 8 to 4 in the second, but the run margin ‘was wider, 9 to 3, as compared with 4tol. The world series was declared in recess today to permit a change of scenes, a day and night of traveling being necessary to span the thou- sand miles separating New York and 8t. Louis. A change of tactics will be ordered when the series is resumed tomor- row. Manager Bill McKechnie has sent two pitchers against Yankees who rely on equipment other than speed to get them by. With both Bill Bherdel and Grover Alexander in his loss column, he will turn to Jess Haines and his fast ball in a desperate effort to get into the win column, Bill was not managing St. Louis two years ago but he knows that Big Jess of Phillipsburg, Ohio, shut- out the Yanks in Sportsman's Park in 1926 and helped himself along with & home run. Bill can use a shutout or home_run or both. Go- ing home with two defeats and only two more needed t) produce a situa- tion unique in world series history, the Bt. Louls manager finds himself in a position where something must be done and that quickly. The ‘Yankees but getting off to a lead of two victories in the current classic have won six world series games in a row, as they stopped the Pitts- burgh Pirates in four straight last year; they at least have a chance to do it gain and no club has ever cleaned up two world series at the minimum distance. Playing on velvet, Manager Miller Huggins will ponder as he rides to 8t. Louis over his selection of a Sun- d , pitcher. If he had lost the sec- ond game and been forced to enter the Mimsouri city all even with his opponent, he would not have been in doubt. Tom, Zachary, the experi- enced left hander who has been in two previous world series wearing the spangies of Washington would have been nominated without a dis- wsenting voice. But in a position to take a chance, “Hug” may call on Henry Johnson, young right hander who had a great first year in the American league. He has seen two sturdy . ght handers halt the Cardinals with only seven hits against the pair, and he does not know what they can do aginst south- paw hooks. Old Grover Alexander, sent out to bring home the bacon as he did two years ago, was found wanting in the second game of the series and ‘lasted only two and one-third in- nings, retiring in confusion with a Uabllity of six hits, four bases on balls and six runs. Two of the three men he left on the bases scored and they were added to his account un- der the scoring rules of baseball, leaving the farmer-soldier-pitcher finally responsible for eight of the .nine runs the Yankees counted. Another veteran, Clarence Mitch- ell, came in when it was too late to Jpitch a clever game, and the left- handed spitballer probable will be seen again before the bats are final- ly placed in storage for the winter. With his far famed control lack- ing, old Alex could only call on his ‘courage to see him through, and with no assistance from the arm that the ball players say “can hit a dime,” he was fighting a losing game from the start. George Pipgras staggered through the first two innings, the Cardinals knotting the count at three-all in the second inning, but from the third to the ninth, inclusive, he never was really in danger. The Cards had only two chances over that distance | to score, Frankie Frisch singled to open the third and stole second but Bottomley struck out, the first of three extreme failures at bat for the first baseman who did the Cardinal | hitting in the opener, and Hafey's best vas a roller on which Frisch ran to third. Harper then fann Irisch again singled and stole e ond in the eighth, but otherwise no Cardinal got as far as second and cnly two as far as first, Chick Hafey who batted hard and often against Natioral le ing had no more succe Pipgras than he did with puzzlers. seen first base only from a distan in the first two games. Boftomle way even more impotent. The only thing he hit was a pop foul, striking out in his last three turns at bat. Babe Ruth, who until yesterday had never been able to hit Alexan- against der, singled in the third inning after | walking in the first and made it two hits out of threc times at bhat hy deubling off Mitchell. And then to boost his world series strikeout rec- ord, he fanned on his last appear- ance, lou Gehrig was the second day's home run hitter, landing a drive in the right cente, bleachers tha stands at the moment as the long- est hit of the series. gue pitch- | Hoyt's | The Cardinal slugger has | LOCAL ELEVEN TO PLAY PITTSFIELD New Britain High School Team in Berkshires Today Lineup of teams in New Britain High-Pittsfleld High game this af- 1 ternoon: New Britain Pittsfield Mountain Right Guard Szymanski ...... . Senger Right Tackle Bogdanski Hendrick Landino . Zaleski Right Halfback ... Horrigan Fullback New Britain Subs: Kraszewski, Carlson and Ross, backfield; and Dumin, Gwasda, and Kayeski in the line. Carrying the red and gold ban- ners to the Berkshire hills this af- ternoon where it will have another opportunity to put New Britain over as one of the leading sporting cities in New England, the New Britain High school football team, at its full strength, is expected to give the highly touted Pittsfield eleven the battle of its schedule. Pittsfleld hasn't the team it had last year but since a squad of over 100 players usually reports for practice in the preliminary sessions of the meason, the Pittsfield coaches do not have the task of filling in that other coaches have. The Bay State team has a power- ful defense but its offense, in the words of Coach Carmody, is ragged. It has only played one game so far | this season and it won by a 7 to 6 score. Horrigan, fullback, carried the ball 80 yards after he had re- covered a fumble within 20 yards of his own goal line. Confidence is reigning in the camp of the local followers that Coach Cassidy's team will be the winner in the game Saturday. The work of both the first and second teams 18 encouraging and indications are the team will be as strong in sub- stitutes as in regulars. The sub- stitute backfleld is playing a whirl- wind type of game and one in par- ticular, Henry Kraszewski, 18 being picked by many of the team fol- lowers to replace one of the two regular halfbacks. Billy Ross has shown a world of improvement and it Captain Landino is forced to leave the game because of injuries, he will be sent into the lineup, Coach Cassidy promises. Herby Carlson is a wonderful kicker and if Sowka, fullback, I8 taken from the lincup Carlson will fill in as fullback and punter. Andy Wesoly, the fourth second team back, is showing good form. Kayeskl and Gwasda are giving the first team line something to worry about and Dumin is playing a strong game at center. The team will return home im- mediately after the game. A bus carrying the players left the high school this morning at § o'clock. Coach Cassidy hopes that it will ar- rive in Pittsficld about noon fn time for the game DIEGEL ENTERS FINAL ROUND OF TOURNAMENT Notable Feature of His Victorles Is Manner in Which Opponents Cracked Baltimore, Oct. 6 (—The gentle lart of winning golf matches by the e method of letting the other tellow beat himself, has car- ried Leo Dicgel into the final round of the national professional golf championship tournament in which today he «ncounters Al Espinosa of Chicago for own.

Zotter also began as He didn't progress as rapidly as he might but he suddenly struck his stride and in his flights as a pro- fessional in the new-talent class, he has demonstrated a kayo punch that spells business for all his | opponents.

Tomorrow, it will be Woodman again for Kensington with “Lefty” Atwood scrving them up for the Falcons. Atwood has had unpre- | cedented success as a Falcon box- | man and he should keep up his good work tomorrow.

The “down east” team is regarded as a formidable foe and will pit the same line up against the Elis which downed Rhode Island State College last week. Coach Mal Stevens, backfield star of recent Tad Jones' football ma- chine has been left the destiny of Yale's reputation on the gridiron and will attempt to strike out to- day, backed by his strongest lineup, to open his coaching career with a victory. 8ix of the eleven Yale play- ers who saw service on the field last fall are regulars and three others played in several games. The game will mark the fourth meeting between these two universi- ties all of which with the excep- tion of a tie, Yale has won.

The visiting combina- tion is compose] of Torrington stars and members of the team formerly known as the Waterbury Blues, Possesscd of a line that i like a stone wall, the Al-Torrington team has a punch in the backfield that will make it feared all through the state, With Sylvester, former Conn. Aggies s Dillon and Kelly as a rushing and ball-carrying trio, and Kovack to call the plays, there is plenty of threat for the New Britain team. From wing to wing, the Tor- rington crew is as heavy if not heavier than the New Britain line. Ed Keenan, the big guard, weighs only 864 pounds this year which makes him several pounds to the good over last season. ‘“Jumbo” Gnasdow will probably get him on the opposite side of the line. He will furnish a nice little playmate for the local lineman. New Britain's line is strong in every aspect. The wings are covered by two fast, fleet, and experienced cnds, Gratton O'Connell and “Unk" Conley, Werwaiss and Conklin are at tackles with “Jumbo” and Tom Humphrey at the guards. “Red” O'Neil and Joe Rogers will alter- nate at the pivot, Radzewich will call the signals to- morrow. He has been showing excel- lent judgment in that position. Buckley and Belonki, the latter a new addition from Torrington, will be at the halfbacks with “Silent John™ Davis at fullback. The locals will start in at the be- ginning of the game tomorrow and will atiempt to pile up a big score, Realizing that in getting the jump they are getting a big advantage, the locals will be on their toes when the first whistle blows.
