Called q Recess
The world series was declared in
recess today to permit a change Of
scenes, q day and night Of travelling
being necessary to span the thou
sand miles separating New York and
st. Louis.
A change Of tactics will be or
dered when the. series is resumed
tomorrow. Manager Bill McKech-
ME has sent two pitchers against
the Yankees, who rely on equipment
other than speed to get them by.
With both Bill Sherdel and Grover
Alexander in the loss column, he will
turn to Jess Haines and his fast ball
in q desperate effort to get into the
win column.
Bill was not managing st. Louis
two years ago, but he knows that Big
Jess Of Phillipsburg, Ohio, shut out
the Yanks in Sportsman's park in
1926 and helped himself along with
. home run. Bill can use q shutout
or home run. or both.
Playing on velvet, Manager Miller
Higgins will ponder, as he rides to
St. Louis, over his selection Of =
Sunday pitcher. If he had lost tho
second game and been forced to en-
tear the Missouri city all even with
his opponents he would not have
been in doubt. Tom Zachary, the

Old Grover Alexander, sent out to
bring home the bacon as he did two
years ago, was found wanting in the
second game Of the series, and lasted
only two and one-third innings, re-
firing In confusion with = liability
Of six hits, four bases on balls, and
six runs. Two Of the three men he
left on the bases scored, and they
were added to his account under the
scoring rules Of baseball, leaving the
farmer soldier pitcher finally re-
sponsible for eight Of the nine runs
the Yankees counted.
Mitchell Came Late
Another veteran, Clarence Mitch
ell, came in, when it was too late, to
pitch . clever game, and the left
handed spitballer probably will be
seen again before the bats are finally
placed in storage for the winter.
With his far-famed control lack.
ing, old Alex could only call on his
courage to see him through and, with
no assistance from the arm that the
ball players say "can hit Z dime, =
he was fighting . losing game from
the start.
George Pipgras staggered through
the first two innings, the Cardinals
knotting the count at three-all in
the second inning, but from the third
to the ninth, inclusive, he was never
really in danger. The Cards had
only two chances over that distance
