New York, Oct. 5 = (UP0 - The Red Hot St. Louis Cardinals send their rookie pitching star; Johnny Beazley, against the New York Yankees today in an effort to win the 1922 world series.
 Needing only one more victory to capture the title that looked hope lessl out of their reach two months ago, the Cardinals had to beat Big Red Rufing to complete the five games one ofg sports major upsets. And if they do, neither the sixth nor the sevent games scheduled for St. Louis Wednesday and Friday will be necessary.
 Ruf1ing beat the Cardinals in the first game, 2 to 4, and Beazley, who will be pitching his last game for the duration, put the Cardinals back on the right foot by winning the second, 4 to 3s Beazley is sched- uled to join, the Marines as soon as the World Series is over.
 Lsat Game?
 From the way those Red Birds have been playing ball it may be over today. Up until yesterdays game, they had bee nwinning on the breaks. But then they won the fourth game, before the largest crowd in world series history, after they had handed the Yankees the tying run.
 Giving the Yankees a break al- most always has been fatal, but the Cardinals were a good enough ball club to overcome it. They had their leading pitcher knocked out of the box and committed an error which permitted the Yankees to tie the score, but it didn't unsettle the Na- tional League champions.
 They kept driving-and running until they triumphed by a score of 9 to 6. Perfect Yankee fielding might have cut that margin down a run or two, but 1t wuoldn't have been enough to keep the Red Birds from winning on their merit
 The Yankees are in a hole. Not many teams have overcome a 3 to l defct to win World Series and the Bronx Bombers don't appear god enough to do it. Red Ruff1ng is their hope today. If he can't come through, the Yankees, for the first time since 1926, will have lost a World Serise.
 Few people figured the Cardinals had any business in the series. A record crowd of 9,9O2-breaking the Saturday mark of 69.123 sat in in on demonstration that showed why theye were there.
 The Cardinals came from 10 and one-half games back on August 4 to win the National league pennant in a stretch duel with the Brooklyn Dodgers. Now they are about ready to make the odds makers look bad again.
 A lot of ball clubs would become tense and crack after losing a five- run lead behind their pitching ace as the Cardinals did yesterday, but Manager Billy Southworth doesn't have that kind of club.
 The Cards gave Morton Cooper five-run lead with a six-run, six hit fourth-inning rally. Cooper, who was knocked out of the box in the first game and had yielded a run in the first inning yesterday, allow ed the Yankees to get four of them back in the sixth, Charley Keller'S second series some run being the big blow.
 Cooper then was taken out and his successor. Harry Gumbert, was the victim of a wild throw to first base by Whitey Kurowski and the Yan- kees eventually got the runner around to tie the score.
 But it didn't bother the Cardin- als. They came back in the seventh to break a tie with two runs and that was the ball game. They didn't need the run they picked up in the ninth.
 For the first time in the series, the Cardinals outhit the Yankees. Terry Moore was victim of his own practice of robbing batters of base hits when Keller caught his bid for home run.
 Max Gets Win
 Max Lanier, who came on to hold the Yankees off in the last three innings, was credited with the vic- tory by the official scorers. He was not in the game officially, however, when the Cardinals put on their winning rally in the seventh. Howie Pollet had pitched one ball to end the Yankee uprising in the sixth and under old scoring rules would have been the winning pitcher.
 Alley Donald, Yankee right-hand- CT, was the loser He had replaced Hank Borowy, the Yankee rookie ace during the Cardinals fourth inning rally.
 In addition to setting a new at tendance record, the fourth game also set new world series record for a single games receipts. The re- ceipts totaled $269, 9,408 of which $l37, ,Se8.0S went to the players pool now completed-and $132.009.92 to the U. S. O.. chief beneficiary of this first wartime World Series since 1918.
