sPORTsMANs PARK, ST LOUIS.
Oct. 7.--(AP)-An all-southpaw pitch
ing cast was named for the fifth
worlds series game here today. Her.
Pennock for the Yanks and Bill Sher
dell for the Cards took up their left
hand battle where they left it Off last
Saturday, in New York. No changes
were made by either manager in the
other positions.
There was little apprehensio.
among the fans when the sun dis
appeared in a thick haze Just before
time for play. Gray CLOUDS replaced
the blue prevailing throughout the
forenoon, but there was no very dis
tinct threat of rain. The stands w<r4
filled at game time with thousands
standing. The customers were MAX
ing a determined drive Tor a thirt
attendance record in three days. Yes
terday's crowd numbered 3S,S25, break
ing the previous days mark, with
predictions made that the official
count today would show 10000. The
fans looked at Ruth and held up wel
fingers to get the wind direction, with
an eye on the right field stands.
During batting practice a wind blew
toward the plate, but when play was
started the wind had changed and
was blowing from the plate outwaro.
