 New York, Oct. 5-(UP)-Terry More, key man for the St. Louis Cardinals in the current World Series, was in his pajamas (white with blue stripes) when we barged into his hotel room and asked him to give us the highlight-the most significant moment in the classic, to date.
 Terrible Terry, centerfielder and captain of the club that has been performing with unexpected effect iveness against the widely pubicized Yankees never batted light brown eyelash (despite his robust batting average) when he said:
 Tanks Slaughtered
 The big moment in the series was not in the ninth inning of the first game at St. Louis. When we picked up four runs, then filled the bases anl had Stan Musial at bat with what might have been the wining run if he hit a homer-was import ant. It sent the Yankees back to their showers figuring that maybe they were in fight, after all. But, mister, when Slaughter threw that strike from way out in right field to Natl Stainback at third base in the second game-that broke their hearts. The Yanks haven't been the same since.. That was the moment and the play when our boys knew or at least thought they knew-that they were certain to win this series, which I, incidentally, still hope we will win"
 Moore, one of the greatest cen- terf1elders in major league history and 8 handsome SiX-footer who could pose for red-fannel ads, re- piled to another pertinent question as follows:
 Its wrong to make fun of the Brooklyn Dodgers because we came on to beat them after they had 8 10 1-2 game lead in Aug. 5. Listen those Dodgers gave us a lot more competition in the stretch than the Yankees have in this series. And that's no reflection on the Tanks, who have a very good team. Ger tainly, the Dodgers would have given the Tanks a great fight, if they had beaten us out for the National league pennant."
 Well, what's wrong with the Tanks now?" we asked.
 More replied:
 There's nothing wrong with the Tanks. They're not as strong as we expected. Our boys think they're very weak in pitching. After foul in which the boys sampled the de- liverieS of their best throwers, they say they'd rather face Yankee pitching every day in the Nationa league season than bat against those Cincinnati houndsmen."
 Could Moore give us quick cen terf1eld picture of the series ant his reactions as field captain? Moore could.
 He said he was confident tht Cards would take the series now that they had an advantage of three games to one. But he said thl confidence was nothing new, be. cause:
 Machine
 We played the Tanks exhibition games in spring training, and WI beat them six out of nine. Int Tanks complained that they were not in condition, although they wers using their key players. And, o1 course, we were not in condition either. But we're a thousand pel cent better team now than the experiment. outfit that beat thu Tanks in the spring. We were only material then, but we're machine now-and a god one. When ht started this series we knew we were on fighting edge. Since Aug. 5, wher we were 10 1-2 games behind th' Dodgers, we had only two or thre' easy games. The rest were dos fights. We fought evehy step of th' way to the pennant.
 Nov, the trouble with most Ma tional league clubs in the past wa the fact that they were satisfied t' win the penant-satisfied merely t enter the World Series with tn Tanks. Our boys weren't satisfied They wanted the title and the extr' two thousands dollars that goes U each player on the series-winninI
