ALEX TO

Dark, Cards To Put
Haines in Box
BY BRIAN BELL
(Associated Press Sports WRITER


NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-(P)-The st.
Louis Cardinals today found them
selves just where they we're at this
stage of the worlds series two
years ago and although the Red
Birds have a new manager now, the
tactics adopted will be the same as
in 1926. Grizzled old Grover Cleve-
land Alexander has been summoned
to do something about it..
With the Cardinals standing a
game behind in 1928 as they were in
1926, the McKechnie mind worked in
the same way the Hornsby baseball
brain Northumberland old Pete in
there TO wave his magic wand OF
perfect control at the hard hitting
Yankees.
Nomination of the ancient Alex
ander was made by Manager Nc
Kechnie after he had seen his Ma
tional league champions turned back

to revision only in case a weather
bureau forecast Of cloudy, followed
by showers, should pan out. II the
day should be dark with poor WISH
bility from the home plate Jess
Haines was ready to display his fast
ball with a hop on it and a knuckle
ball, hard to see on a clear day,
leaving Alex to open at St. Louis
Sunday, rain or shine.
Manager Higgins threatened to
cross the advance calculations which
named George Pipgras as his choice
for the second game by sendine
Tom Zachary, the r~eiuvenated left
handler, who can throw slow balls as
slow as the slowest.
The Yankees found themselves off
to n good start in the series be-
cause Waite Hoyt pitched unbeat-
able ball and the Yankee cripples
threw aside their crutches long
enough 70 manufacture runs from
extra base hits. Wee Willie Sherdel
allowed the American leaguers onIy
four safeties in his seven innings Of
duty in the first game but three of
them were doubles and the other a
home run, accounting for three runs.
Three singles came along later al
the expense Of Sylvester johnson to
make the Yankee total four. but Wee
Willie had left the scene then.
Inc Cards best was one run and
three hits. Jim Bottomley personal
ly carrying the lone Card counter
around by virtue of a lusty home
run.
Waite Hoyt buried the team that
beat him in the closing game of
the 1926 worlds series and showed
that this is another day by permit
ting only Bottomley to get past first
oase. only six Cardinals were able
10 boast of a speaking acquaintance
with Lou Gehrig at first base. Three

smash, and three passes opened the

WRITING THE TICKET
And now they've started doping.
Where the Series crown will rest;
Some hand il to the Cardinals.
Others claim the Yankees best.
The boys who pick the Red Bird flock
Have Bottomley and Frisch.
And Haines, Sherdel and Alex.
What more is left TO wish?
They sing the praise of Douthit,
OF Hafey and his s~luggings;
They tell you teams of men like that,
Will smash the clan of Higgins.
The Yankee fans. on other hand,
Are all inclined to laugh;
They say there's no comparison,
The Cards can't stand the gaff.
They point to Ruth and Gehrig,
To Lazzeri and the rest;
No use to try to tell 'em,
That the Yankees aren't the best.
Each side makes known contentious,
Each side has doped il out;
And neither one will give an inch,
Till the final man is out.

 "The reason for such a condition may be seen in college entrance re- quirements, which practically com pei small schools 10 teach only aca- demic subjects: state laws and reg ulationS which demand academic subjects for high school graduation: high school principals who are too conservative and too loyal to tradi- tions to make any changes; per
