Aug. 27 (U.PJ There was more than a remote possibility today that "Meet me in St. Louis'' will be the theme song for the 1945 World Series. For their forlorn fans who have given up early season high hopes that the Cardinals and Browns would meet In another one-park classic it is well to con sider the following: 1. Currently they are the hot test clubs in their leagues. The Cards, riding a six game victory streak, the last three over the leading Cubs, have won 18 out of 24 games. The Browns, cli maxing a four game streak with Sunday double header victory over the White Sox, have won 18 out of 23. 2. Pitching, key department In a stretch drive, Is brilliant on both teams. The Cards have held the leading National league bat ters, the Cubs, to two runs in three games. Rookie Ken Burk hardt, a 15-game winner, com pleted a string of 34 scoreless innings before the Cubs finally ended It. Ted Wilks and Sylves ter Donnelly of the Cards have recovered from arm ailments and will be ready to pitch when the team returns home. For the Browns, Al Holllngsworth, strict ly a liability last season, and Nelson Potter, a disappointment this year until recent weeks, each have won five straight games. 3. Both have reputation! for gameness in the stretch. In five out of eight years the Cards have won the pennant they have done it late in the season. The Browns put on a fine stretch drive last summer to beat the Tigers, win ning their only pennant on the last day. Mondar.
