Wrap ping up tho world series for an othor year, and possibly longer: It was a long time coming, but the World Champion St. Louis Cardinals finally accomplished what many were advocating years ago "brenk up the Yan ) kees" . . .

Aftor nil, a team thnt can wlpo out a ton-game Brook lyn lead In tho National league and whip tho Yanks In a flve gamo series, winning 47 of Its last 57 starts, just doesn't know when to stop. The Yanktics are old hands at traveling, but they saw so much "country" the past few days they don't care for any "Moore". . . . Enos (Country) Slaughter and Terry Moore, the crack guard ians of tho Cardinals' outer reg ions, robbed the Yankees of base hits with circus catches In every game and divided ten hits .be tween them . . . Tho honor of .beating the Ynnks twice in world F series competition now Is shared by the Cardinals and the New York Giants . , . The Cards also handed the Bombers their last series defeat in 1026, while the Giants turned them back In the 1021 and 1022 classics. If you're wondering why Man ager Joe McCarthy didn't order Whltey Kruowskl passed in tentionally in the ninth inning yesterday, with only one out, a man on second and two weak hitters coming up, remember that this same Kurowskl fanned i the 'first three times ho faced Red ' Ruffing In the opening ' gamo , , . When Kurowskl sock i ed his game-winning. homer, Mo Carthy probably was wondering I the samo thing ... Tho bat he used to sew up the series wus the only one Kurowskl brought from St- Louis, his others having " been broken in the regular sea " ton ... He wouldn't lot any of uia iriHWij use ii in Dtuung prac tice "and after the gamo ho re fused talet it out of his sight.

', NEW YORK, Oct. 6 (ff) Members of Uncle' Sam's arm ed forces, scattered all over the globe, listened to radio accounts of the St. Louis Cardinals' vic tory in the 1042 five-game World Series with all the thrill of receiving a letter from home. Only in Hawaii . were there any regrets. The New York Yankees were heavy favorites thero. ' ' But it was directly opposite in the Canal Zone. Whitey Kurowskl, whose homo run yesterday with a mate on base gave the Cards, the fourth vic tory and the title, played short stop and third base in the Isth mian League In 1040 and the entlro Mine was as pro-Cardinal as St. Louis' Grand Boulevard. The Army Signal Corps help ed tho soldiers in Alaska keep abreast of the developments al though some of the fightors wcro too busy, to listen. News papers in Ketchikan, Juneau, Fairbanks and Anchorage ar ranged to send copies of their accounts to the jiosts which might have missed the broad casts,.

Oct. 8 (JPI Dr. George Guldager, University of Oregon football team physician, When In Medford Stay at HOTEL HOLLAND Thoroughly Modern Jo and Anna Earley Proprietors October 8, 1942 War Will Probably Break Up Cardinals St. Louis Hailed as Having Punch, Pitching, Brightest Polish in Majors Br GAYLE TALBOT . NEW YORK, Oct. 6 WWf it were not for the probability that the war will break it up, the St. Louis Cardinals club that com pleted tho Job ot wrecking the New York Yankees yesterday might within the next few years go tearing on to win ranking with the greatest teams In baseball history.. It is a son-of-u-gun of a baseball club much better than any one suspected even when It was running wild in the closing stages of the National league race. There is no team In either league at this tlmo with anything ap proaching tho all-around punch, pitching and polish of the new world champions. On the off chance that some body might think we are going overboard on the bold young men of Manager Billy South worth, a few figures might be in order: Through yesterday's deciding game at the stadium, which was won by 4-2 on a two-run homer by George Kurowskl, . rookie third baseman, in the ninth in ning, the Cardinals won 47 of their last 57 contests in the 1042 Beoson. That comes to an al tudlnous winning average of .824 down the stretch. They slugged and slashed their way to victory In their last six straight games in the league race. paused only to drop the world scries opener In St. Louis, and thon battered the Yankees into submission In four straight. Some time, some team might have set a record that looks com parable in print, but forgive us if we doubt that the competition was as tough as that bowled over by the Cardinals in their amazing drive to the top. It is doubtful the Brooklyn Dodgers could have beaten the Yankees, i They lacked pitching. As the series unfolded it became obvious that the Cardinals not only had all the dash and color which had become their hall mark, but that they also pos sessed great pitching in quantity, Mort Cooper, their biggest win ner, was slugged from the box twice by the Yanks, yet they had the men who could take up the slack in Johnny Beazley, Ernie White and Max Lanier. As for the Yankees, they sim ply ran into a bunch of game, hard-playing, hungry youngsters. After they won the second game at St. Louis, the Cardinals actual ly believed thoy would take three straight at the stadium here, and said so. Those of us who heard them thought it mere ly was youthful exuberance. We didn't quite know the Cardinals then. The most Inexplicable collapse of the classic was contributed by Joe Gordon, the Yank sec ond baseman. Standout of the '41 series, when he practically beat Brooklyn single-handed, Gordon made only two hits in 21 times at bat against Cardinal pitching and didn't shine par ticularly in the field. He and Plul Rizzuto did not make their first double play until the final game, whereas they stymied Brooklyn with seven a year ago. Little Rizzuto played the best all-around game lor the Yanks, hammering eight hits in the five games and fielding cleverly. EXPERT OPINION Looks as if old Mike Gonzales was the champion series fore caster ... He said: "Maybe we lose one, maybe two, but no more." . . . This department hit the number of games right on the nose but had the wrong team and plenty, of company in picking the Yanks ' . . . Only five of the experts polled by the A. P. before the series named the Cards and no one said fewer than six games for them. announced here today that X rays taken of Center Steve Bod ner did not show skull fractures or a concussion, as first feared. The Webfoot gridman was in jured in the Oregon-WSC game at Pullman last Saturday and had to bo carried to the train after the game. He did suffer painful cuts and bruises about the head, however. The Oregons, under Coach John Warren, continued today to prepare for the traditional game against the University of Wash ington In Portland Saturday. Bodner, along with other players hurt In the 7-0 loss to the Cou gars, may play against the Hus kies. Friendly Helpfulness To Every Creed and Pum ' Ward's Klamath Funeral Home Mr. and Mrs. A. A.

LOUIS, Oct. 8 JP) It won't be another 1028, when St. Louis' fans practically dis mantled the city celebrating the Cardinals first world series championship, but there will be a raucous welcome home party today. The Cardinals, with the pen. nant in their pockets following a four-out-of-five games victory over the New York Yankees, are due in St. Louis at 5 p. m. Ma yor William D. Becker will lead thousands of fans in the cheering. Few were the radios that were silent yesterday. And around each huddled a group of excited fans, glum and wrought up by the turns as first the Yanks went ahead and then the Cards came back to tie it up. The roar in Yankee stadium which went up when Whitey Kurowskl hit his two-run homer in the ninth to clinch the victory wasn't much louder than .. that raised by the local fans. Before the cries of We ve Done It!" had died away, the game was over and the celebrat ing begun. Hundreds hurried into the streets. Everybody tried to slap everybody else on the back. Some Mississippi river boats blew their approval. Automo bile horns honked. Street car mo- tormen clanged their bells. Wastebaskets were emptied from office windows. Cards Spurn Taxis, Ride Nickel Subway From Park By SID FEDER NEW YORK, Oct, 6 (JP) A bunch of St. Louis Cardinals came bustling out of Yankee stadium, still boisterous at win ning the world series, brushed off the cab drivers and headed for the subway and the niokel ride back to their hotel. That is as good a way as any of leading into the possibility that all that "gallantry" and "gameness" of the crash-house gang came from that $6,192.50 waiting for each player at the finish of the 1942 series and the Cards are a lean, hungry team. This, Incidentally, is not try ing to take a thing away from the running Redbirds. They hit when they had to. They ran when it counted. Just look at the way Johnny Beazley pulled himself out of two clutches yesterday. And how about that clinching homer by Whitey Kurowskl? He's the player the Yankees tabbed as the "All America Out" before the series started. But the reports are that the top-priced player on the young St. Louis outfit draws down in Give YOUK to Klamath County Salvage Campaign or Sell It M & 8 Bag Co.

The large coach praised the work of Fullback Don Mast, Cen ter Phil Blohm and End Neil Mayfield, acting captain for the test which the Pelicans won, 28 8, for their third straight intcr sectional victory. Mast, he said, played a "great ball game" In pacing the Klamaths offensively. Phil Blohm, 215-pound eenter, played a "whale of a game" on defense, the huge coach said Mayfield, acting captln for the encounter on the coast, "did a swell Job In making difficult de cisions on the field," Ramsey added. The 235-pound coach and Cubs Topple Chi sox, 2-1 , In CHy Play CHICAGO, Oct. 8 (P) The .Chicago Cubs won an extra in ning game from the White Sox last night, 2-1, keeping alive their hopes for victory in the annual city series. The win, second straight for the National leaguers, gave the Cubs a chance to extend "the four of seven series to the limit with a victory tonight. The Sox won the first three encounters. Claude Passeau, the Cubs' ace, and the veteran, Ted Lyons, pitched scoreless ball until the eighth Inning when the National leaguers put over one run only to see the Sox score the equalizer In the last of the ninth. .- Phil Cavarretta's triple and Bob Sturgeon's fly accounted for one run In the 10th Inning and It was the margin of victory. riOHTt By TM Attoolltad Ml VBW TORS Mm Berger. 1V Montr! outpolaKd Omm.

This would be Terry Moore, the ghost of center field, who not only can but does catch everything within nine miles of him. On the other hand, the Yan kees are the highest priced club in baseball, with a payroll esti mated at $300,000 a year. Their average salary is somewhere near $10,000.
