World Series Notes
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY


CT. LOUIS, Oct. 6.-World series
~ notes with the count two and
one against Detroit.
Paul Dean, who usually has little
time for praise for anybody but him
self, says Mickey Cochrane is the
toughest batter he ever pitched to
:. Paul says when the count is 30
Cochrane will look over the pitch
like bank teller looking for ran
som money, and won't offer at it if
it is a millionth of an inch out of
bounds.
THE Scribes say say frankie
Il Frisch, Cardinals manager, is
the toughest loser they ever had
any traffic with . He was boiling
over after losing the second game,
and wouldn't let the newspaper boys
in the dressing room for ten min
utes and then he threatened to
throw them out if they didn't quit
asking them questions g. But when
the Cards win it's all hearts and
flowers, and won't you have bot
tie of beer, boys?" with the Ford
ham flash.
THE Cardinal out feeders have
Il been giving good imitation of
"the man on the flying trapeze" in
trying to field line drives . . Ernie
Orsatti twice has gone into nose
dives without coming up with the
ball E. Joe MedWick did a one-and-
one-half jack knife without benefit
of springboard in the second game,
and like Orsatti came up with moth
ing but lot of grass >. Jack Roth
rock hasn't gone i'll for any diving
yet, but he let Goose Goslin's single
roll between his egs for an extra
base in the third game.
~OOSE GOSLIN has been a great
" player for Detroit in the series,
except when long fly balls have been
hit in his territory :. Jack Roth
rocks triple to left nthe fifth in
ming of the third game would have
been an easy catch for either Jo-Jo
White or Pete Fox, the other Tiger
Outf1elders Goose's legs aren't
what they used to be.
THE biggest batting flop of the
Il series has been Leo Durocher,
Cards shortstop he hasn't made
a hit and has seldom punched the
ball out of the infield he has
company in Marvin Owen, Detroit
third baseman, who has gone nit
less in twelve officials times at bat.
When FriSch popped over Geh-
ringers head for single with thet
Detroit infleld drawn in close in the
fifth inning yesterday, scoring Roth
rock, it was the second run the
Fordham flash has driven in during
eight world series he has played in
. If Gehringer hadn't been play
ing in close to the grass it would
have been an easy out.
TOE MEDWICK, who opened the
y series with four straight hits,
is the eading batter going into the
fourth game with hits in ii times
at bat for an average of .429. q.
Rothrock eadS in runs batted in,
with to his credit. Bill Rogell,
with boots, had made more errors
than any other player.
Comanche, Tex, and Norcatur,
Kan, two more southwestern ham
lets opened competition today for
a place in the world series sun with
Holdenville, Okla, and Eldorado,
Ark. Comanche is the birth
place of Tex Carleton, Cardinals,
and Norcatur, Hometown of Eldon
Auker, Tigers, rival pitchers for the
fourth game.
THE greatest catch Of the series
Il was made by Medwick on
Whites foul near the left field boxes
for the first out the third game.
Medwick raced in, full speed,
where even Pepper Martin feared to
tread, and speared the ball with his
gloved hand and then collided into
the temporary boxes.
Bill De Lancey. Cards 23-year-
catcher who hustled his way into
his job in mid-season, is a dead
ringer for Cochrane behind the /
plate. His work in the world !
series has tabled him as one of the /
games brightest young stars.
COSLIN stood with his bat on
" the ground, talking to Umpire
Harry Geisel, when Paul Dean
threw the fourth ball to him on
an intentional pass yesterday. i
Pepper Martins triple and double |
OF the right field screens yesterday
would have been outs in the Detroit
park, with its longer right field. e.
The pitching battle every one has
been waiting for between Dizzy
Dean and Schoolboy Rowe is likely |
to take place Sunday. Dizzy |
vii pitch for the Cards, and Rowe
will certainly pitch for the Tigers .
If the Cards win today. II 1
Detroit should tie it up today, |
Cochrane might gamble on another /
starter Sunday, and save Roth for /
the sixth game IN Detroit Monday, )
