Manager Billy Southworth be lieves his Cards must sweep tne two-game scries from the Cubs if St. Louis fans are to see a world series next week. If the cocky, swaggering Cardinals snatch today's and tomorrow's games they would take over first place by one-half game, thereby ending a 79-day chase at the Cubs' heels. "Showdown" Cam So it's "showdown" baseball today with each club leading its ace. The Cardinals, currently one and a half games behind, will pitch Harry (The Cat) Brecheen, cunning lefthander who has whipped the Cubs four straight games this season without a de feat. And Manager Charley Grimm will start Henry (Hank) Borowy, the silent Pole from New Jersey whose nine victor ies since Joining the Cubs Is the principal reason Chicago still is leading the league.

Prompt and Economical Service M ontgomery W ard BILLY CONN WILL BE BACK IN HI MM 30 DAYS New York, Sept. 25 -iU.R) Corp. Billy Conn steps ou t of khaki today to start up the long road back toward a four-year date with destiny. Pittsburgh Billy gets his dis charge papers at Camp Lee, Va., and announced that within a month he would be back in the ring waiting anxiously for the discharge of a certain other sol dier. That, of course, would be Sgt. Joe Louis, who is expected to be returned to civilian life soon. Has More Weight But the Conn who is waiting for Sgt. Joe is a different one than the slim, rapier-like young ster who came so close to lifting the world's heavyweight crown back in 1041. This Conn has more weight to power his punches, and a bit more savvy than the impetuous Irish kid who tried to turn Celtic clouter when a three-round waltz would have made 'him king of the boxing world. There are a lot of heavy weights waiting around for Billy the Kid to go back into action. He and Joe will start another bum-of-the-month club as they tune up for a summer bout which will bring back the million dol lar gates. Meanwhile, It should be possi ble to Judge how much time has changed them, for Louis now is a slowing 31 and Conn is a heav ier 28. He weighed a padded 174 the last time, 25 V4 pounds less than Louis, and now tips the beam at a pretty well-conditioned 190 against Joe's 205.

Modernized "T" Of Clark Shaughnessy Proves Boomerang Chicago, Sept. 25 (U.R Coach Clark Shaugnessy of the University of Pittsburgh won dered today if he diagrammed a "Frankenstein" when he mod ernized the "T" and made It America's favorite football for mation. The T-formatlon which swept him to national coaching fame has bnom-er-anged and is mak ing life miserable for his Pitt teams. Now in his third year at Pitts burgh, Shaughnessy's teams have droDDCd 11 games, while wirv ning seven. And seven of those setbacks were administered by teams using the "T". Shaugnessy now bemoans the fact that when he pertectea those "T" plays, he forgot to work out a defense to stop them.

Manufacturers Of DDT Insecticides Face Crack-Down Washington, Sept. 25 (U.PJ The government is preparing to crack down on manufacturers who are cashing in on the magic name of DDT with so-called "DDT insecticides" that are really of little or no value as bug-killers. Government scientists empha sized that DDT actually is as potent as its reputation indi cates. But the trouble with many "DDT" products now on the market, they said, is that they have as little as 1100 of one per cent DDT. Most effective solutions, the Agriculture department said, contain at least five per cent.
