 St Louis, Oct 6.-(UP)-The theme song of the 1884 world series is love in bloom.
 Love in full bloom. All kinds of love in full bloom. Mama love, papa love, puppy love, brother love, sister love, ister-in-law love.
 brothcr-in-law love, and uncle-by-
 marriage love.
 TO the casual fan the drama of this meeting between the Tigers and the Cards lies only in the hap penings on the ball field. But to those of us whose business it is to delve behind the apparent in q veritable Liberty loan drive for the truth, the baseball game is side issue. It is obscured by high TO- nance, by everlasting devotion. by the intermingling of tender hearts, that beat as one in three-quarter
 time, and by the dream of a cot tage small by waterfall on easy,
 convenient payments.
 The principals in this happy
 union of cupid and the national pastime are Schoolboy Rowe. Dizzy Dean. and Daffy Dean. who hap pen to be the only winning pitch eIS Ol lLAt cGliSS oO Aol. A1et~h VI these gentlemen is magnificently in. love and surrounded no matter
 where she may be-be 1t the bull
 pen. the dugout. the mound. or in
 a barber shop-by an aura of
 orange blossoms, hope chests and
 far-away looks.
 Schoolboy is sparkling with Miss
 Edna skinner. who came on from
 ElDorado to be near her intended
 and write stories for the papers Eexpersing the series through mex pert but adoring eyes. A smile from Edna and Schoolboy's curve
 becomes inspired to point where it would make boomerang seem hike an arrow. A frown and school
 boy becomes just another Three
 Eye lcaguer with tennis elbow
 Assisting Edna in keeping The
 junior Rowe's mcralo in the pink. are MT and Mrs Rowe, who keep quietly in the background save
 when the photographers are on
 hand.
 As you can see love is blooming all around the Schoolboy. His is a pretty good incpirational line-
 up for 2 short series li!.e this. But the Dean boys have him topped. They came prepared with a love and pride retinue sufficient for an entire s154-gamc season. There's
 not a page On the Dean family al-
 bum, not a twig on the family tree. that isn't represented at this mo- mcnt in St Louis., The official at- tendance of yesterdays. game was 34.1S2. Those 1S2 were all Deans. There was Dizzy's bride. There was Daffy's girl friend from over Ohio way. There was Paw Dean. who Is certain to have kleig eyes if he poses for one more picture. There was Grandpa Dean. Uncle Charley. who was Nettie's cousin by her first marriage, Ezra Dean. who claims he's reltaive but can't prove 1t. little Timmy and Tessie Dean, the twins. and punches, of assorted other Deans.
 | The Dean cheering section in the stands throws off love. when Dizzy or Daffy is working, like depot stove throws off heat. You can almost see It's shimmering reflect ed in the shinya serge of Umpire Klen's pants. One can but be impressed by the
 manner in which love has shown the way in this world series. The cynics who occupy the press rows are beginning already to feel little tugs of tenderness in the spots where their hearts once were. I detect renaissance ofs the hearts and flowers element in the world of sport.
 Tn the not so far distance future you will read less and less of fast breaking curves rifle pegs to sec ond. and mighty wallops into the right field stands. and more of love, Two Cigarets in the Dark. the | first corsage he ever bought for
 her, the old backpork swing, chaf- ling dishes. fudge. a pair of little baby shoes. a candle in the win
 dow.sand moonlight. a June knight.
 and you-hoo.
