Cardinals and Yankees Open World Series in New York Tuesday MAX LANIER MAY OPPOSE CHANDLER IN FIRST BATTLE Yankees' Established Slim I Favorites Stan MusiaPs - Sprained Ankle OK. By Glen Perkins United Press Correspondent New York, Oct. 4 (U.R) Minus many of the stars who helped carry them to their pen nant triumphs last year, the St. Louis Cardinals and the New York Yankees square off at Yan kee stadium tomorrow in base ball's second war-time world series. The set-up, with the exception of a schedule alteration provid ing for the first three games to be played here as a transporta tion saving move, will be the same as in peacetime. There will be the usual trimmings, the usual crowd and for those who can't get into the park, the usua' broadcast of the games. It will climax a season which saw millions of fans carry out the game s plea not to let Hitler, who has killed so many things, . kill baseball. It also bore out a promise which Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis made last winter that if permitted by the administration, baseball would carry on, even if it be came necessary to place nine old ,menon the field. But the manpower' situation did not become that trying. De spite the loss of many stars to the services, the same intense competition and excellence of performance will prevail. The Cardinals will be seeking to demonstrate that their upset of the Yankees in five games last fall was no fluke. The Yankees, American : league pennant win ners in seven of the last eight years, will be striving for their seventh world championship un . der the managership of Joe Mc Carthy. " r . . ' . ' Teams Ready: Both McCarthy and Manager Billy Southworth of the Cardin als pronounced ..their ' teams ready. ' .'.-! ' The only question mark of the series' opener seemed to lie with the Cardinals.. Southworth s opening mound selection. Most baseball men figured it would be Max Lanier, a cagey left hander, who figures to get the call because of Mort Cooper's sore shoulder and, perhaps lack 1 of confidence, having been Inef fective in ' four starts against American league hitting. McCarthy's starting choice ap pears certain to be Spurgeon (Spud) Chandler,' the American league's " leading hurler, with Ernie Bonham as the llkeiy moundsman in the second game. . Stan Musial's strained ankle appeared to be all right as the major league's leading hitter ap peared in the Cards' last game as a pinch hitter and rapped out his 220th blow of the season. The latest betting odds, estab lished by James L; Carroll o( St. Louis, favored the New Yorkers. Carroll priced the Yan kees at 7 to 10 not to win the series and quoted 6 to 5 that the Cardinals won't. He Bald it was 3 to 6 that the; Yankees won', win the first game and 7 to 8 against the Cards. According to Carroll s odds, a dollar will get you six that the Yanks don t take the classic in four straight and if you like the Cards in four, the same buck will get 15.

The navy team, fielding such former college stars as Paul Christman of Missouri, Parker Hall of Mississippi and Len Esh- mont of Fordham, trailed 7 to 6 at the half yesterday but com pletely dominated play In the final periods.

Too late to Classify 13:30 p. m. the win COAST NET QUEEN - F GAME'S FUTURE By Jack Cuddy United Press Correspondent New York, Oct. 4 (U.R) As 14 of the 16 major league teams disbanded today, most baseball men were concerned with the big question: Will there be ma jor league play next year! Many feared that the draft of fathers under 38 would clenn out major league manpower so tnorougniy that the clubs could not carry on In 1944. Others were more hopeful. we lined the question straight at Commissioner Kenesaw M Landis, in town for the Cardlnal- xanKee world series. But h dent "Jedge" ducked as if seek ing sanctuary from a bazooka projectile. "Forget me on that!" the mm. mlssioner exclaimed brusquely; corset ma on mat! However, Ford Frick, presi dent of the National league, was more neipiui. "We are hopeful," Frlck said "We want to operate next sea. son, even If the player limit has to be out from the present 25 to u. wun tne limit set st 20, each league then would need but 160 players. Using players who have been rejected for service hera.isa oi pnysical disabilities and play ers who are younger than 13, we might be able to carry on. Let me emphasize, however, that we will ask no favors for base ball, nor plead any cases." Will Harridge, American cir cuit prexy, is in town for the series, but we were unable to contact him. Another baseball brass hat who declined to be quoted, point ed out that the nine minor leagues who carried on during 1943 would be hit harder by the father draft than the majors, since most of their players are younger and probably subject to fewer 4-F incapacities than those in the majors. Our commentator rjredietod that no minor league would be able to operate in 1944, and that the major leagues would benefit by beng able to grab any capable minor! performers Ineligible for the draft.

SAME PRODUCT TiariTinnrw J Wis w II 1 1 J III, I sr ss.i.i J j. .ill Jisa WEEK STRESSED Medford Fire Department calls attention to the fact that the week of Oct. 3-9, has been designated as national "fire pre vention week." . Pointing out that America's, residential fire loss amounts to hundreds of millions of dollars annually, the local department urges all citi zens to make a special effort this week to eliminate all pos sible common home fire hazards. In . stating some of the more common causes of home fires, the fire department reports that one-third of all residential fires are caused by sparks igniting inflammable wooden roofs. De fects in chimneys, or burning of trash in fireplaces left idle for some weeks may contribute toward this hazard. Heating plants- should be thoroughly cleaned and checked for defects at periodical Intervals. Wall surfaces adjacent to furnaces or stoves should be protected against overheating. Electrical equipment should always be disconnected imme diately after using, and worn or frayed cords repaired or re- placed. Extra fuses should be kept in the house at all times. Using of gasoline or benzine for home dry cleaning is a very dangerous practice, according to the department. Friction created by rubbing the cloth together is enough to ignite the fumes. Accumulations of rubbish in attics or basements may cause fires, staring from spontaneous combustion. Matches should be kept out of the reach of small children, and care exercised in use of cigarettes. In addition to these fire pre ventive suggestions, the depart ment recommends that at least one member of the family learn the proper method of telephon lng a fire alarm. ' Many times this is done too late, or in such a confusing and Incomplete man ner, as to be ineffectual. IS LIFE SAVER John C.
