In the field Hornshy made spar
king plav on sizzling drive by Earl
Combs. He speared the hall far 10
his Lott. and being completely off bal
anCe fen as he threw. The ball
reached first on bad bounce. but
. the fleet Combs was caught foot
D away.
f;ahe Ruth was in the center of
another picture, one of the most
amusing ever seen on world series
field. He slid somewhat vehemently
irto the second base and when he
arose his knickers were in need OF
a surgeon. Babe bashfully faced the
stand while club attendant ruShed
to lhe rescue With handful or
safety pins. By the time the big

Tho Houthtul Cards fought GaInelN
from the FIRST ban to the last. They
were fun ol pep and they tossed the
ban around like 50 many kids. Only
5 of the . players on the Cardinal
list ever have been in world series
before. They We're not afraid ot the
Veteran Yanks. however. and If II
here not for the hypnotic spell Pen
hock cast over them they Would
have looked far better than they did.
Against an inferior grade OF pitching
fhey will run more true TO form.
They were not .outclassed by any
a7eans. and now that the first stage
fright of a world series on foreign
Arounds is over. they should make the
Weries a horse race.
