Yankees and Cardinals Now Tied At One-All-Grover Alexander Gives Impressive Pitching Exhibition Shocker Forced to Retire-Bill Southworth Hero of Yesterdays Game-Hornsby Gets His First Hit of Classic.

Alex started q bit wobblv in his
 control system for he passed Combs,
 the first man up. Koanig, however, hit into a double play and the vcter- an hurler then gave a hint of what was to come when he struck out
 Ruth, throwing a fast ball by the big slugger for the third strike. Tho | Cardinals threatened in the first and second but made only gestures.
 Hornsby got his first hit of the series, q long double 10 right in the
 first and O'Farrell's single was fol- lowed by Theyenow's hit for a base in the second without a run.
 New York scored it's two runs in the second. Meusel opened with q single and took second on Gehrig's
 out. Lazzeri drove the big outiield-
 CT home with a solid smash to left. Dugan also got q hit, and then AleXander's error when he partici-
 pated in a run-up of LaZzeri, trap ped between the bases on an at tempted double steal, permitted the second run to go mp. Alexander then took charge of the defensive pro- gram and forced Shocker to miss the third strike as Severeid had done before the unsuccessful double steal was made into successful run.
 The Cards lost little time in knot
 ting the count. Douthit and South
 u-ortb hit or1 JorprI,, r,,o,-n1 tIa,1, up with a sacrifice bunt. The op- timism of Sunny Jim" Bottomley was not diminished when he drove
 his fellows home with q single to right. Bottomley later got another hit that didn't mean anything but drove Shockcr from the mound. The cheerful first baseman got two
 thirds of his teams hits in the first game of the series.
 From the third to the seventh the Cardinals were not in position to score runs for they could not get q
 player on first base. The seventh brought different story. O'F'arrell, great catcher who is being prom , inently mentioned in connection with the most valuable player award, , opened the inning with hard drive,
 good for two bases. Thevenow, who
 before had hit safely when given the | cue by OFarrell, shot a single to 1 left. Doubtless having heard from 1 American league friends of Mouscrs | powerful arm, O'Farrel only blulfed | an attempt to score and promptly | sCurried back to salty on third base. ! This brought Alexander up. under ordinary circumstances a capable | hitter for a pitcher, who gets limited amount of batting practice. | AleXander's best at the moment was a high fly to Mousel and the same arm that sent O'Farrell back 10
 third base now held him there. | Southworth then came up to win the 1 game. He drove the ball over Babe Ruth's head and on into the bleach-
 CTS among the people assembled
 there in sardine style. Hornsby grounded out but the St Louis fans 1 hoarsely Checrcd his out almost as
 much as they had applauded
 Southworth's homer. They knew the | game was 'in the bag
