 St. Louis fans are hoping that a world series may be decided at Sports mans Park next fall, and they really expect that at least one-half the games will be played there.
 There is really good reason for this feeling. We have already related the story of the Browns and to the careful observer the Cardinals ap- pear to have just as good chances to finish first in the senior circuit have their fellow townsmen in the American league.
