they win now they would do some. thing no team has done before. There is no record of club win- ming in seven ganie world series after losing the first two games. It has been done once in a nine game series.
 To capture the important game today Manager Charles Street nam- ed Wild Bill" Hallahan. his sensa- sational young lefthander to do the pitching for the Cardinals. Hallahan won Is game for St. Louis during the regular season, in spite of streaks of wildness which gave him the unenviable distinction of leading the National League in bases on balls. To offset the bases on balls however, he was runner-up to Dazzy Vance, in strikeouts, just one behind the Brooklyn speed ball king. St. Louis players insist that Hal- lahan is as fast as Vance and fast CT than Robert Moses Grove, the Athletics lefthanded ace. and d meeting between the two southpaws has .been hailed as baseball nat ural." There was possibility that it might materialize today. but men close to Connie Mack were inclined to think the veteran manager of the day of rest and send either Bill Shores, young highlander or George Walberg, a big left handler, to the mound.
 Mack Keeps Silence Connie maintained his character istic Mackian reticence with no sug- gestion that he would reveal his pitching choice until shortly before game tme.
 A change in the starting lineup of the Cardinals was announced in the substitution of Jimmy Wilson for Gus Mancuso behind the bat. Will l son, hurt September 12, has caught only one game since, but his injured ankle was reported on the mend, so | Manager Street decided to send him out as veteran battery mate for the youthful Hallahan. Mancuso caught well enough at Philadelphia and cracked out hit in each game, but Mancuso is even younger in years and experience than Hallahan. Street evidently decided that the. counsel of an elder was needed in the crisis,
 | Manager Mack was not expected to make any change in his lineup on account of the lefthanded pitch ing selection by St. Louis. He has three batsmen who hit from the left side of the plate, Cochrane, Bishop and Haas. Manager Street at Phil adelphia\ sent in Blades, a right hand hitter to play right field, in place of the left hand hitting Wat kips, and had only one left handler left in the game, Sunny Jim" Bot | tomley.
 Street said today as his team pre- pared to do battle in the third con- test that neither he nor his players were downhearted.
 "The Athletics have won two in row." said Gabby, "and we have as good a ball club as they, so we can win two. or more, straight"
 In the first two games the Car dinals outhit the Athletics 15 to 12 but were outscored II to 3, chiefly because the winners specialized in extra base hits and were able to CO., ordinate their safeties more effect ively.
