YANKEE STADIUM, New York,
Oct. 5.-The New York Yankees
finally broke the charm which Grow
er Alexander was supposed to hold
over them and drove "Old Pete''
to the showers here today as they
slaughtered the st. Louis Cardinals
in the second game of the 1928 world
series, 9 to 3.
George Pipgras, the Yankees'
young right handler, steadied down
after shaky start and turned back
the National Leaguers with but four
hits, striking out men.
AS a result of their victory which
was even more one-sided and con-
vincing than the opener, the Ameri.
can League champions went into
the west tonight to continue the
series in st. Louis leading their riy-
ais for the world 5 title two games
to none.

Mitchell got his spitball past

nervousness and had located tho
plate, which meant that st. Ions
run making was over for the day.
