The game over, the Cardinals were
hailed with cheers, but they merely
smiled as they hurried to the club
house, shaking hands and slapping one
another on the back. With the excep-
tion of Pitcher Grover Alexander, Out
fielder Billy Southworth and Coach
Killefer, being on major league
championship team was new expert
ence for the ST. Louis players.
About 5000 witnessed the advent of
the Cards to the premier honors st.
Louis players were favorites through
out the game, and whenever Cardinal
| rally was cut off or the Giants scored,
groans went up from the spectators.
Stubborn resistance was advanced by
the Reds in the pennant scramble.
After leading the league during large
part of the season, Cincinnati was
obliged to step aside for a Cardinal
challenge to peak honors, and the final
days Of the race saw both clubs bat
Ting away on an even footing.
The Cincinnati rout, however, took
form in the series with the Giants last
week, when they dropped two games in
a row and then extended to the mixup
clean sweep of a three-game tussle
The Giants raped Flint Rhem hard in
the opening inning of today's game,
forcing the star of the ST. Louis pitch
ing staff to give way to pinch hitter
: in the second inning. Terry hit home
run with Frisch and Kelly on base. But
for a great catch by Douthit on Lind
strom's drive and Mueller being out
stealing, New York would have scored
three more runs.
The Cardinals came right back and
knocked out McQuillan, who defeated
them here last Sunday, in the second in
ming Lester Bell doubled, took third
on a wild pitch, and scored on OFar-
rells infield single. Doubles by Theve-
now and Toporcer, the latter pinch
hitter, then tied the score.
Billy Southworth, former Giant, then
sent st. Louis in front with home run,
scoring Toporcer ahead of him.
Wee Willie Sherdel, southpaw, as
sumed the pitching burden for ST. Louis
in the second inning and held the Gil
ants to seven hits and one run, the
tally being made as the result of a ball
which bounded poorly to Hornsby, and
with the pennant within their grasp
the Cardinals played a great defensive
game behind Sherdel. OFarrell threw
out three Giants attempting to- steal.
Kelly's double and Tyson's single in the
eighth accounted for the Giants last
run. The Cards only other productive
inning besides the heavy handed second
stanza was the seventh, when sunny
Jim Bottomleys triple off Zeke Barnes
and Chick Hafey's double put over their
final run. Kent Greenfield pitched the
final two innings for the Giants. The

Fourteen veterans of several seasons

that Indicates a healthy Wildcat squad
for the entire season. Last year Coach
McKale was greatly handicapped by a
large number of unforeseen accidents

gated to the hospital with bad knees,
not counting injuries to other men on
the squad.
In the training this year, the coaches

Washington-Pres Coolidge. in
working out a plan to accept the

of congressional leaders as to the best
method of procedure.
He conferred with Chairman Borah
of the senate foreign relations COM

congressional sanction should be given
even in advance of participation in
the preliminary Geneva meeting, at
which an effort will be made to draw
up an agenda for the projected world
arms conference.
Senator Borah and others of the ir-
reconsilables in the League Of Ma

be conditioned upon very thorough
understanding that the proposed dis
armament conference would not con-
slider European security pacts and that
this country would not enter into any
kind of agreement which the League
