 Approximately 400 baseball fans called the Herald between the hours Of 1:30 and o'clock yesterday aft ernoon 10 learn of the progress of the world series teams. The inter- est this year seems to be as great as ever.
 Strange as it may seem the St. Louis Cardinals with one game be- hind the Athletics seems to be better off on pitching material than the American league champs. Usually when. the teams are going into the last or second last games the team in the lead seems to have no end of pitchers.
 The Mackmen have Grove, Earn shaw, Walberg. Shores. Quinn and Rommel. Grove won the opener all llouSH IOQCIleu loi ulHc lltS, lOSL the fourth game and finished the fifth pitching two innings in which he allowed a hit
 Earnshaw won the second and pitched seven innings yesterday Walberg and Shores were both driven from the box in the third and Gt1inr {o be up to starting a world series con- test, but you never can tell what Connie will do.
 The Cardinals have Hallahan, Haines, Grimes, Lindsey, Johnson and Rhem. Hallahan shut out the As easily in the third game and is ready to go tomorrow. Haines beat them in the fourth game and will be available Thursday or sooner. Grimes lost two games but gave five hits in each and is rarin' for an- other chance. Neither Lindsey nor Johnson yielded a single hit in the five innings in which they faced the As in Shibe park.
 Gabby Street has available four pitchers who have yielded only one run among them in 23 innings of world series baseball against a club of sluggers like Foxx, Cochrane and Simmons.
 Connecticut took all the honors in the Vermont Academy-St. Michael's contest last Saturday. Jackie Ken ney, captain of Hartford Public High school team of '29, Arnold Westergren of this city. "Gunnie" Nelson of this city, and Tonkiewicz of Meriden made four of their teams touchdowns.
 Approximately 20 of the Yer . mont Academy's 110 students are ing it New Britain Academy up there.
 Hard luck seems to dog the Zehr- CT family. Fred, a member of the Franklin and Marshall college foot ball team. suffered a foot infection that kept him from starting his teams opening game and then suf- fered a fractured collar bone in the second week of practice so that he will be out for several weeks.
 Today his young brother. Frank, underwent an operation for appendi- citis at the New Britain General hos pital. He is resting comfortably. Frank was on the high school foot ball squad and would have valued this one year of experience as a foundation for future football play ing.
 George Paris has been given the headlinesman's duties at Kent Pre- paratory school for the remainder of the season. Hitchcock of New Britain is the referee.
 Primo Camera, hero of every Ital- ian sport follower in the world and Jimmy Maloney, Boston Irisfl ian, will battle inAthe Boston Garden-to- night in what will be one of the big tests for the Italian. This will be Maloney's last big chance and Boston is back of him. However, he has failed before when his followers were confident of success.
 Confidence is three-quarters of the battle. Before Jimmy Foxx step ped up to the plate he predicted he would break up the game and the 9 to 0 Athletic victory proved his point.
 At last, the battle of the century is on. The contest of Dr. William Morrisey and Dr. George Dunn against Dr. Daniel w. O'Connell and Louie Jones will take place this afternoon when the quartet will take part in a special golf match at the Shuttle Meadow course. The contest has been talked of all sum- mer. It is scheduled for 3:30 o'clock.
