one Herman Dean, eyeing the high pitching mound especially con structed for the long arm of Schoolboy Rowe at --Iavid Field.
 1t was Dizzy's way of saying that the 1894 world series with the Detroit Tigers was a walk-in, cake-walk, or a breeze for the St Louis Cardinals.
 The elder Deans opinion was shared by Ernie Orsatti. the Italian ball hawk, and the other Red Birds
 "AI we have to show the Tigers is Wild Bill Hallahan,' remarked Orsatti. Here's one series in which the Dean brothers will not have to be worked out of turn"
 stressing the Detroit entry,s dislike for southpaws, Orsatti pointed out that Hallahan twice decisively defeated the Bengals in exhibition games this season-re- polling Elon Hogsett, at Battle Creek on July 30, and Red Phillips in Deroit on Aug. 13.
 The Cards also edged out the Tigers in a. pair of spring exhi- bitions in Florida, Tex Carleton topping Vic Sorrell and Eldon Auker, Az, and pair of recruits, Heise and Ringer, and Jim Moo ney outpitching Marberry, Sorrell. and Hogsett to previal in 10 in nings, 2-1.
 Now. exhibition games don't count in league standings, but the Cardinals figured that what was done in practice could be repeat ed when they were playing for keeps. The Tigers admitted the Red Birds were tougher than the Giants. They openly pulled for the New York aggregation.
 have an idea that Dean, Or-s satti, anI the remainder ofthe St. Louis players are right. I look for the Cardinals to take four out of six.
 Following the final game of the, National League campaign, in Sportman's park, St. Louis, in which Dizzy Dean clinched the flag for the Cardinals by hand cuffing the Cincinnati Reds, go for his third trump and second shutout in six days and his 30th victory of the setson, a small boy applied large chunk of ice to tho pitchers ruber.
 Before the game, Dizzy. told me to put it here" explained the younger. "He said the rubber would burn up if I didn't. Go a. head and feel it. Even, the ice hasn't gotten it cooled down yet"
 You've seldom seen a warmer baseball outfit. and they started so late-they were seven full games back of the Giants on Sept-that a letdown is unlikely.
 The Cardinals who barged into Jungeland form the most attrac- tive baseball show on earth.
 There is the greatest brother act in history, the pitching Deans, who dispel the old theory that left handedness is a requisite of tho baseball bug.
 There is Pepper Martin who hit 300 and stole five bases in beating the As almost sigle handed in the 1881 series. The resumption of his base-running duel hwit Mickey Cochrane after three years is one. ofthe most interesting fea- lures of this autumn's series.
 A center fielder in 1881, Martin proved his versatility by coming back this trip as one of the most finest third basem in business.
 The Cardinals are managed by Frankie- Frisch, entering. his eigth baseball fall fashion show, and still Srn aaf rr,&s q base.
 They have long-range hitters in Outfielder Joe Medwick and Catch CT Bill Delancey, each only P years old. and Jimy the Ripper" Collins. first baseman who parked a ball on the roof of the rigth field bleachers of Sportman's Park on the final day of the season for his 200th hit and 35th home run.
 The 200th hit put Collins in the charmed group that moulded Paul Waner, of the Pirates, Lou Gehrig ofthe Yankees, and Charlie Gehr- finger of the Tigers.
 The clout gave him a tie with Mel Ott, of the Giants. for the sea. for loops home run championship.
 The Cardinals have Leo Durro- cher, one of the sharpest fielding shortstops you ever set your eyes on. and Orsatti, who bunts a base ball like q master billiardist nurs- :. es the worries. 4
 Eight pitchers ar clicking-five ight-handers, the Deans, Tex Corleton,and the veterans Dazzy Vance and Jess Haines, and three southpaws, Hallahan. Willie Walker,and Jim Mooney.
 The regular batting order-Mar- tin, Jack Rothrock, Frisch, Med wick, Collins,t Delancey or Vorgil Davis. Orsatti or Chick Fullis. and Durocher, ahs team average of .294, but that dosn't tell half the story.
 There is ball club that can do everything-bunt. drag the ball. hit behind runers, steal bases. and go ad get'em in the field.
 Rothrock, Frisch, and Collins are switch hitters. Delancey and Orsatti face rigth- h-handers, Davis and Fullis southpaws. Martin. Rothrock and Orsatti fairly fly. and it scarsely can be said that Frisch. Medwick and Durocher creep in the field and on the bases.
 It Is the best team in baseball and the most colorful that won 20. out of its last 25 games to nose out, the Giants in the most thrill- ing 11th hour drive the game has known. sftt. e r-- tt ---
