YANKEE STADIUM, New
York, Oct. 3. (UP) - Ernie
White, southpaw ace, pitched
a World series masterpiece,
today. shutting out the New
York Yankees with six hits as he
st. Louis Cardinals won the third
game, to O.
The victory gave the Rel Birds
two TO one lead in games.
White, who was saved by the spec
tacular catches of his outfielderS,
was the first pitcher to shut out
the Yankees in World series COM
petition since Jess Haines turned
the trick for the Cardinals in 1926.
The crowd of 69,123 set a new
World series attendance record. The
former mark of 68,540 was set at the
stadium last year when the Yankees
met the Brooklyn Dodgers.
Once again the Cardinals took
advantage of Yankee mistakes as
they did in the second game in St.
Louis
White would have lost except for
three catches b. his outfielders. In
the seventh innng, with the Card
nails leading l to 0, Stan Musial
robbed Joe Gordon of a home run
by leaping high against the left
field fence to catch a long line
drive. The next batter. Charley Kel-
ler, only home lan hitter of the
series, sent long one which looked
like it was going into the right field
stands, but Enos Slaughter leaped
high to snare the ball as it was
going over the wall
In the sixth, Terry Moore, fleet
Cardinal center fielder saved q tie
by taking what appeared a sure
double away from Joe DiMaggio
with a circus catch in deep left
center. Roy Cullenbine, who had
singled was on first and would
have scored on the drive.
Even in the ninth the Yankees
threatened when DiMaggio singled
| with cne out. Gordon was an easy
out but Keller hit another long one
! to right This time Slaughter
caught it only few feet from the
right field fence. Probably never
before in world series history have
three such magnificent catches
been turned in in the same game.
A capacity crowd of approx
mately 10000 saw the Cardinals
tax, one run lead off Spurgeon
Chandler, Yankee right handler, in
the third inning and as events turn
ed cut that would have been
enough.

said to be little change in the bat

estimated at considerably higher

There was no indication that the

1--WE are all very conscious Of the
war efforts and the fact that large
part of the war effort will depend upon
the use of petroleum and petroleum
products and the discovery of new
pools and increasing reserves so that
there will not be a shortage of this
very essential resource. We feel very
strongly that the oil producers and
individuals require the continuance Of
this depletion allowance and that there
should be an incentive so as to permit
continued exploration, validating and
development by the countless individ-
uals who are interested in the Rocky
Mountain Oil g. Gas association, so
that they may continue their activity
and pay for the increased hazards OF
the exploration and development, as
mentioned above.
