Win in Five Games Smart Managing by McCarthy Big Factor Timber Wolves Should Look into This Matter ACE HURLER By Pvt. Paul Rosenberg The master-mind of baseball, Manager Joe McCarthy, outguessed and out-maneuvered the St. Louis Cardinals last week to bring an other World's Series Championship to the New York Yankees. The New Yorkers were outhit in the five games of the series, but they played and fought like the champions they are to swamp the Redbirds, 4-1. Cards Have It Tough Everything seemed to wrong with the Cards — errors, lack of punch when men were on bases, and the wrong shifting of players by Manager South worth. In fact, they hardly fooked like the same team that ran away with the National Leavae pennant. The tight defense of the Yanks helped tear the pins from under the Cards. Gordon, Johnson. Etten and Crossetti were superb, but what really counted was the pitching. The Army Times, national week ly newspaper for the United States Army, is accepting nominations from Army baseball managers, sports editors, athletic directors and GI fans for an All-Army nine to be picked in the near future. This particular editor would like to nominate the Timber Wolf ag gregation which during this past summer won the Oregon State Semi-Pro championship and the un official service championship of the Northwest. The information needed to select the outstanding team is simply a record of games won and games lost. Spud Chandler MusiaL " . Cooper. H. Walker and Whitey Kurowski went to waste under the powerful pitch ing and fielding of the New Yorkers. Even Morton Cooper’s outstand- ing play in the second and last games couldn’t change the out- come. Although he won the only game for the Cards by defeating Bonham 4-3 in the second game, he couldn't stop Bill Dickey from hit ting a home run with one on in the last game, which caused his defeat. St. Louis learned that to take a world’s championship you need luck, pitching, and errorless play. Hitting, alone, will not defeat a really great club like the Yankees, In submitting an individual play ’s record include: age, height and weight, previous experience, bat ting and fielding averages, runs scored.and runs batted in. times at bat, number of hits, stolen bases and team spirit.
