PHONE 2U9 00T RESTRICTIONS E Only St. Louis Fans May See Contests; Reserva tions Pour In. New York, Aug. 19 u.m Sports pipelines and grapevines hinted tonight that the Impend ing all-St. Louis world series may be witnessed by an all-St. Louis crowd. Officials of the Office of De, fen?o Transportation, distressed ov the hundreds of advance reservations being made for trains and planes to St, Louis lor the first week In October, reportedly are ready to take steps to prevent any but bona fido business and emergency personal trips. At Washington, a spokesman said the ODT may ask officials of the teams to see that only bonafido area residents attend the scries. He stressed, however, that the ODT would not issue orders to anyone not to travel, but merely to suggest that they did not. The restrictions would be sim ilar to those made for the Ken tucky Derby and the Army-Navy football games during the past two years, thus relieving the strain on transcontinental railroad coaches and Pullmans, already abulge with passengers. The ODT at first considered It a pleasant coincidence that the fall baseball classic was likely to be played in a single city, thus eliminating the neces sity of a trip between games. However, during the past week, when the Browns main tained their comfortable lead In the American league, there were bales of requests for world se ries tickets in every delivery of mail to the Cardinal and Brown offices. Neither Sam Breadon, the Cardinal president, nor Don' aid Barnes, head of the Browns, filled any of the requests, stat- Ing that they could not act un til tho pennant races wero set tled anil until they had met with Baseball Commissioner Judge Kcncsaw M. Landis to set ticket prices. BELMONT CLASSIC IN By 18-1 SHOT New York.
