time when the American made his
disarming concession. The Ma
tional Lacquer beamed his surprise
and delight, but before he could
think up suitable appreciative re-
ply, his antagonist continued:
"And you know what'll probably
happen to Cooper? Spud Chandler
or Ernie Bonham or somebody else
on the Yankee staff will be having
a hot day and Cooper will get beat
about l to 0. That's what mean
about Cooper not winning the series
for the Cardinals"
Both Slab Stats Strong.
The writer regards this as a
graphic summing up Of the pitching
potentialities of the two clubs that
probably will play the first game
Of the big series a week from to-
morrow in st. Louis. Brooklyn still
has a mathematical chance to beat
out the Cards in the National
League, but actually the Dodgers
we're licked week ago.
The American Lacquer, of course,
was giving only his side of the
argument. The same thing could
and probably will happen to one or
more of the Yankee fingers. II
the Yankees have the best pitching
staff in baseball. as is widely be-
lieved, then the st. Louis Cardinals
certainly have the second best.
1t should be one of the best
pitched World Series in a long time,
with the scoring exceptionally low.
The Cardinals staff must be re-
garded as stronger than the Brook
lyn staff of a year ago. Manager
Billy Southworth Of the Cards, at
least, will not have to start couple
of such veterans as Curt Davis and
Fred Fitzsimmons, who led off
against the Yanks in the first and
third games of the Al series.
Yanks Respect Card Hurlers.
While Cooper, with his fine fast
ball and great variety of stuff, is
the one who will have to turn the
Yankees back a time or two If the
Cards are to have hope of win
ming the series, he lacks considerable
of being the Cardinal staff" In
Max Lanier and Ernie White the

southpaws and in Johnny Beazley
the freshman pitching sensation of
the National League.
The Yankees themselves have
vivid recollections of the Card hurl-
ers from their spring exhibition
series, which the Cards won, six
games to three. In conversation
the individual Yanks assert frankly
that Cooper. Lanier and White will

PGA Reveals Soruzen,

On Winter Slate
BY ROMNEY WHEELER,

ATLANTA, Sept. 22.-Professional
golf FURNISHED up some glitterlng
names of the past today for stint
of war relief.
Announcing plans for another
winter tour, Tournament Manager
Fred Corcoran Of the PGA disclosed
that Walter Hagen, Gene Sarazen
and Tommy Armour-all previously
retired from active play-had agreed
to make the tourney circuit, starting
probably with the $4,000 Miami
Open in late December.
Four Definitely Slated.
"The winter tour is definitely on"
said Corcoran, pausing en- route
from Houston, Tex, to New York.
THE tournaments will be played for
war relief and ior War bonds, and
we may have fewer pros making the
circuit, but We'll have a higher
quality of competition than ever be-
fore"
Corcoran said galleries in Is cities

aged 5000, and added that all cities
sponsoring major tournaments on
the last winter circuit had indicated
a desire for similar dates in 1912 -43.
The Los Angeles open, Oakland
open, Bing Crosby open and San
Francisco open are all set," he add
ed. 80 is Phoenix, and I expect
to hear from Miami shortly on our
inquiry as to dates. Two cities in
Texas have asked for dates, and I
am sure the New Orleans open will
be played"

All tournaments will have to be
for charity, Corcoran said, before
the PGA will agree to participate.

they have less respect for the other
st. Louis fingers and are not at all
worried about BeaZley, for some
reason, or Howard Pollet.
The Yanks expect to face Cooper,
the 21-game winner, at least twice
and probably a third time if the
series goes the limit of seven games.
They know he is a far more dam
gerous adversary than he looked in
being knocked out at the start of
this years All-Star game, too. They
expect to face Lanier, who has won
13 and lost 8, in the second tilt
and White in the third. White is a
much better pitcher than his off,
cial record of SIS indicates.
Krist Is an Ace Reliever.
1t is likely that Howard Krist
will do most of what relief pitch
ing is needed by the Cards, and he
has proved himself an extremely
able fireman" this season, winning
13 games and losing but 8. In this
respect the Cards might possess q
valuable edge over their World Sc
ries opponents, as Johnny Murphy
of the Yankees is not the stopper he
used to be.
Otherwise, the Yankee staff, led
by big Ernie Bonham with 20 wins
and only S losses, probably is every
bit as good as the one that held
Brooklyn to II runs in flve-series
games year ago. Marius Russo,
the ailing southpaw who beat the
Dodgers 81 in the third game, is
doubtful starter, but in his place
it has Hank Borowy, with Is wins
and only 4 losses for his first big
league campaign.
Red Ruff1ng, a veteran now but
still one of the games greatest spot
pitchers, likely will square off
against Cooper in the opener. Red,
at 81, has won only IA games this
season against losses. He has to
pace himself these days. His rec
ord of six World Series victories
against a single loss is unrivaled
among today's pitchers. II for no
other reason, Mccarthy probably
will start him in the first game In
order that he might have plenty
of rest for possible later appear
ance.
Chandler Due to Start.
Spud Chandler, with Is wins and
losses. is certain to start one game
and probably Alley Donald another
Despite his brilliant record for the
year, Bonham is not likely to be
worked out of turn, as he still feels
occasional twinges in the lame back
that nearly terminated his pitching
career last year.
All in all, the series pitching ap-
pears to be about a standoff. The
Yankees likely would have won the
American League flag if they had
had the Card staff and the Cards
would have done all right in their
league with Bonham and company.
Maybe we could work up a swap.

Pitcher Terry Lauds
Blanks Jersey City
Farm Of Giants
Blackwell Scores Third
Series Win for Chiefs;
Belongs to Cincinnati
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Bill Terry, general manager Of the
of the New York Giant farm system
which includes Jersey City, recently
called Ewell Blackwell, young Syra-
cuse right handler, the best pitcher
in the International League.
And Blackwell, 19-year r-old Cali
fornian owned by Cincinnati of the
National League, made the selection
stick last night by shutting out
Terry's farm hands, to 0. for the
Chiefs third straight victory in the
International Leagues final round
of the Governors Cup playoffs.
Blackwell's blanking brought to 40
the number of innings since the
Jerseys have counted run off Syra-
cuse pitching, including the game
in which the two clubs broke a
third-place tie.
Terry, in discussing the youngster
who is playing his first season of pro
baseball, said that Blackwell really
is doing the hitters favor when he
throws his fast ball but when he
throws that sidearm sinker he is a
tough cookie"
The former manager of the New
York Giants thinks that Blackwell
is another season away from the big
leagues but predicts there won't be
any let down in the Cincinnati Reds
present day pitching prowess when
Blackwell arrives.
Last night Blackwell was touched
for four singles. In addition, he
walked two batters but famed seven
others.
The triumph moved Syracuse to
within single game of the playoff
title and the right to meet Columbus
of the American Association in the
Little World Series. Columbus
swept through Toledo, four games
to none, in the Associations final
playoffs.
