Dm Mill Trtbuna Wnt Ads. By Leo H. Petersen United Press Correspondent St. Louis, Mo., Oct. 11 (U.R) The St. Louis Cardinals faced the best pitcher in baseball tn. day and had to beat him to keep alive their waning hopes for a second consecutive world cham pionship, at the expense of the New York Yankees. - Manager Joe McCarthv. alt. ting in the driver's scat with a three to one edge, nominated Spurgeon Chandler, the sinker ball artist, who won the opening game at Yankee Stadium for mound duty in an effort to close out war-time's second October classic. Chandler, with the best earned run average in the major leagues wis season, faced Mor ton Cooper, the Cardinal ace who won the second game a few hours after his father died. Tho depth of the Yankee hurl ing corps was demonstrated yes terday when Marius Ugo Russo, an Italian stringbean from Brooklyn who bad been of little use to McCarthy in the Ameri can league pennant race this year because of a sore arm, came through with a seven-hit per formance that gave the Yankees Z to 1 victory In the fourth game and their three to one series leqd. Russo not only took care of the pitching, but most of the hitting, too. He blasted two doubles and the second one led to the winning run after the Cardinals, taking advantage of two Yankee errors, had come from behind to tie the score. Lanier Tough While Russo should have had a shutout, the Yankees weren't knocking down the fences against Max Lanier, the chunky southpaw who lost to Chandler the opener, and Harry Brecheen, the rookie left-hander, who was charged with the defeat The Yankees had scored off Lanier in the fifth inning, but with better judgment on the part of Centerfielder . Harry Walker would have come out of it scoreless. Joe Gordon, goat of last year's series whose fielding in this one has been sensational, hit a low line drive to leftcenter. Walker tried to make a shoe string catch and missed by inches so what could have been held to a single, playing it safe, turned out to be a double. Bill Dickey, the veteran catcher, im- memateiy singled to center. Gor don scoring. Had Gordon been held to first on his hit he never would have crossed the plate. ' xne uaras were lucky to tie up in the seventh as Russo'a in field failed him. Danny Lit whiler doubled down the -right field line but Sanders, despite the fact two men were out, was slow getting started and South worth held him at third. Martin Marion, the Cardinal shortstop, was passed purposely to fill he bases and when Frank Demaree, pinch hitting for Lanier, grounded weakly to third it looked like Russo was out of the jam. But Bill Johnson, the rookie third baseman- and leading hitter of the series, fum- Diea a grounder and the score was tied with the bases still full of Redbirds. . But Second Base man Lou Klein grounded out to end the threat. Russo then took things In his own hands. First man to face Brecheen in the eighth, he dou bled down the left field foul line, went to third on Tuck Stainback's sacrifice and scored on Crosetti's long fly.
