New York. Sept. 9a fP,--The New York Yankees and their guests, the St. Louis Cardinals, shock the kinna out of their chilled forms today and hoped for a warm sun. that practice sessions for the world series opener here Saturday might be delayed no , longer by cold weather and drizzling rain.
 The National league champions, given the run Of the Yankee stadium by their hosts, have chosen to work out from 9 a. m. until 1 a. m. The Yankees then take over the ticid for an hour and a half drill. Miller ! Huggins has his squad primcd for heavy slugging practice to keep in trim the Keen eyes Of the battCrinE American league titlists. while Rogers Hornsby and his mates must study for the first time the contours of the park where the early battles Of the classic must be fought.
 The shadows Of the stands. cast across the playing field by the set ting sun. may offer problems to the Cardinals sluggers as they watch the lazy curves Of Herb Pcnnock, Urban Shocher's sharp breaking splitter, and the zooming speedhall of Waite Floyt, come winging from q discon- certing background. The hardness of the inficld mast be accurately caused by the Card intlcldeTs so that the bound of hard hit grounders can be forecast.
 The Yankees played the St, Louis Browns all season in SnOrtman's 1 park, where the western games of the series take place, and are thor oughly acquainted with it's geog- | raphy and geology.
 Both teams spent q trying day yesterday entertaining themselves and attempting to keep their minds from the coming championship series as the weather barred them from the ball park. The Cardinals held an informal meeting in the morning and voted each of the eligible play CTS full share of the series earn s'' eN'' ''''iA ''''fiI ''' M 'i '' ''' .i' 'i , Kirby Samuels, the st.
