CARDS,GO|NG HOME,
FACE CRUCIAL TEST
st. Louis to Assemble Every
Resource Tomorrow, With
Odds Against Team.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
EN- ROUTE WITH THE CARDINALS
TO ST. LOUIS, Octoberf 6.-Drooping
under the weight of two Yankee de-
feats, the Red Birds are heading home
today to save what they may from the
world series of 1928.
With the championship even now
almost beyond their reach, the down.
cast champions of the National League
are reaSsembling the bits of wreckage to
build up whatever defense they can
against the Yankee invasion of st. Louis
tomorrow.
Slump In Hitting.
The selection of pitcher to stop the
American League champions with some
reasonable number Of runs seemed less
pressing problem than how the Red
Birds themselves might score a few,
After giving George PipgraS two bad in
nings yesterday before the deluge de-
scended upon Old Alex, the Cardinals
lapsed back into the form they had
shown against Hoyt on the previous aft
ernoon
Nothing plunges ball players into the
lower depths more easily than a sud-
den cessation of the attack. The Cardi-
mails today we're a moroSe, taciturn
band-altogethe unlike the cocky crew
which rushed to the Western front two
years ago as the battle shifted from
New York
Bill McKechnie voiced no hopes, no
fears. He pointed out the obvious
axiom that it is hard to win ball
games without particularly when
a set of suspected crippleS becomes
obstreperous with ones own hurlers.
Haines to Pitch Tomorrow.
McKechnie said Jess Haines, the big
wheeler, would fling 'em at the
Yankees tomorrow All of the Cardi-
mails believe the strapping right-hander
can hold the Yanks. They spent their
time wondering whether 1t would be
Hoyt or Zachary for New York.
The Red Bird family is in excellent
condition except for the inevitable
brooding over two straight defeats in
New York. That state may be thrown
off by the tonic of a home crowd
whooping it up in Sportsman's Park to-
morrow.
Of1cials of the National League, the
National umpireS, st. Louis newspaper
men and ST. Louis club executives ac-
companied the players. John A. Heyd-
Ter, president Of the National League,
was prevented at the last moment from
joining the unhappy caravan. He was
called to another train to attend a
meeting with Judge Lands, E. S. Bar
nard and Michael Sexton.
