Branch Hickey, vice president and
general manager of the Cardinals,
is convinced the Redbirds have an
excellent chance of defeating the
Yankees. He bases his observations
on the fact that the Cards are

less speed, "and if they can keep
their feet on the ground and play
the kind of baseball they have been
playing they can win"
Pals Are Beazley's Guests.
Johnny Beazley, the Cardinals 23-
yearold freshman pitching star, is
making good on his promise to three
Nashville (Tenn) high school mates
of several years ago when he boast
fully told them he would invite them
as his guests when he pitched the
first World Series game. Two of
them are certain to be here tomor-
row. They are Joe Howard, in the
Air Corps at Shepherd Field, Tex,
and Billy higgins, oil company en-
ploye at Nashville. The third, Roy
Elliott, now working in Nashville,
may not make it.
The diamond at Sportsman's Park
is bald, the barest in the major
leagues. The grass curled up and
died under the tarpaulin which had
covered the diamond every night
during the season. The park is used
by two clubs-the Cards and Browns.

The local explanation of the SEEM

fans needed a couple of days rest
before taking up the big assault on
the Yankees tomorrow All reserved

The Yanks-not riding a special
