World Series- By Brian Bell
 New York. Oct. II lP,-Earnest young athletes, whose vim, vigor and vitality gave the COW bells of St. Louis a chance 10 ring again when many Missourians feared they were to be forever mute, scattered today 10 the four corners of the United States figuring how much one can buy with s5,5S451. This goodly sum represents the real money to be paid each member of the St. Louis Card inals as his part of the World Series spells. No statistician is needed to deduce that that is the winners share
 At the same time the members of the New York Yankees are calcula- ting the purchasing power of SAIL 75, and reflecting that the difference in the size of the checks was de- termined by one $5O,00O run. The big run decided the seventh game of the world series. 3 to ., with as much drama as any world series had produced packed into the vital game. The run was not the only S50,- GOO quantity involved. There was a S5n,000 strikeout engineered by the venerable but Coura geous Alexander, two plays by Theycnow valued at thousands each. and a hit by the same player worth more than it's weight in gold. And tco, there were a couple of miscues the Yankees would have handed over for nothing and given something to boot.
 In the final pulsating contest, played under leadcn skies threatcn- ing 10 weep with the Yankees at any moment, age and youth showed the way. Grover Cleveland Alexander old enough to have been named for a president of the United States who held office more than two score years ago. and Thomas Joseph The vcnow, whose B years make him a mere juvenile, claimed between them the place in the sun they would have had if there had been sun.
 The baseball scared, but not scared Alexander was content to play defensive role. but the dashing Thevenow. qualifying as a money player" was a stonewall of the de- fense and a battcreing ram offcn- siyely.
 When he tucks away his check for $5.5S4.5t each Cardinal may reflect that he has 10 thank an old man. growing on his way out of the base ball picture. and q bold stripling, with the legs of agile youth enabling him to leap into the air 10 grab balls labelled hits. and young eyes sharp enough to pick out pitches and hit them where they aint," before the curves break.
 The course of the pop fly, making is deadly presence known in the fifth game at St. Louis, decided by the same score of the contest yes terdav but in favor of the Yankees was again q factor in the seventh battle. The disease held the Cardl- nals fast in it's grip last Thursday and helped the American l"aGuors on to victory. Yesterday 1t was dls- covered contagious and the Yankees contracted it just in time 10 lose worlds championship. A pop fly was lost in that game and another hnrd- lv more than a pop" bounded from the glove of Yankee player and there went the ball game.
 Alexander. who had no plan 10 permit Monte Mum to gain all ath- lctic honor that is Nebraska 8 10 be- stow. had no place in the orlElnHI cast for the seventh game. He was content 10 sit on the bench with the comforting thought Of q we'll ph'h- ed victory Saturday and another t"" previous Sunda" 10 comfort him. IT" was willing 10 lot Jesse I1alncs who has been elsewhere and seen every thing. do the heavy pitching for the afternoon.
