they, were to be forever mute, we're
bound for St. Louis today, figuring
how much one can buy with $5,5s4.5i.
This sum represents the money to be
paid each member Of the St. Louis
Cardinals for winning the world SER
les.
The New York Yankees are calcu-
lating the purchasing power Of
$3.4l7.75, and reflccting that the diff
ference in the size of the checks was
determined by one $50.ONO run. The
Cardinals won the seventh and dccid.
ing game Of the world series, i lo2.
A $5o.eee Strike Out
$4,000 strike out was engineered
by the old master. Alexander. Two
plays and a hit by Thevenow also
meant money, and Yankees miscues
wore costly.
In the final pulsating contest,
played under lcaden skies threaten
ing to weep with the Yankees at any
moment, age and youth showed the
way. Grover Cleveland Alexander,
80, and Thomas Joseph Thevenow, q.
claimed between them the place in
the sun they would have had il there
had been 4 sun.
When he tucks away his check each
Cardinal may reflect that he has to
thank an old man, as ball players go.
Alexander had no place in the orig
inal cast for the seventh game. He
started on the bench with the com
forting thought Of Il well pitched vic
tory Saturday and another the pre-
vious SATURDAY. to comfort him.
Rubs Skin OFF Fingers
The offerings Of Haines for the
inspection Of Yankee batsmen were
just one knucklc ball after another
and in the seventh inning, with the
bases full and the score 3 to 2, he
was shocked to discover that he had
practically knuckle ballcd himself cut
skin off his fingers and his control
was slipping. Rogers Hornsby de-
cided that the big fellow from
Phillipsburg, Ohio, needed some court
plaster, obtainable only in the club
house.

championship was almost ir st.

to finish the game. He turned back all
Yankees but Ruth, who was sent to
first in a peeve when he refused to
strike at three balls just missing the
corners of the plate in the ninth
inning.

Many Records Broken
Records proved scraps OF paper in
the series. Marks for attendance and
receipts went by the board with q

who paid 3l.2O7, 1864.
Babe Ruth crashed his way to
seven records. His three home runs
In one game and fourth in the clos
ing struggle made editing Of the rec
ord books necessary. Making four
runs in series, driving in as many,
receiving IL bases on balls in the ser
les, and other minor efforts marked
his activities. He made six hits and
lifted his batting average for seven
world series to .253.
All told, 10 records fell and three
others were tied.
