Cardinals and Yankees Open World Series in New York Tuesday

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.

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.
BRITAIWIS WARNED OF

mental control over British so

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.
