NEW YORK, Oct. 3.-A squad of crippled Yankees will start the World Series with the St. Louis Cardinals in the Yankee Stadium
 With a more or less definite announcement from M ager Huggins that Earl Combs. injured centerfielder will see action in the big series as pinch runner. if at all, the Yankee stock dropped to new low record. Odds are frequently quoted and favor the Cardinals , to 3
 There is little betting, most of the American League partisans preferring to wait for even long CT odds.
 To some observers 1t appeared in reality the Yankees are oc- cupying rather an enyiable posi- tion and McKeehnie and his healthy Cardinals should be doing all the worrying. The Yankee alibi prepared in advance is how ever unintentional on the part of the reigning world baseball champions, On the other hand the Cardinals, null of strength. must win and even. then they may not get credit due them.
 Waite Hoyt will probably pitch the opening game for tlfes Yankees and Wee Willie" Sher- del will hurl for the Cardinals.
