 'Key" Game Today
 Except in 1884 when Tommy Bridges, of Detroit beat Wild BilI Hallahan of the Cardinals and i94l when Whit Wyatt of Brooklyn de- feated Sturgeon Chandler of the Yankees, the team which has won the second game has gone on to take the world championship.
 Figuring tha home town friends might mean more than baseball tradition, Southworth, down heart ed because of the failure of Morton Cooper, ace of the Cardinal mound staff, in the first game. decided that he would risk going along with his freshman e&ar.
 One thing s-a was sure of-it couldn't be worse than the beating Cooper took yesterday. In the end, the four unearned runs which the usually tight Cardinal defense gave the Yankees in the eighth and ninth inning made the difference which gave big Charles (Red) Ruffing his seventh series victory in eight starts.
 Big Red, as he went along, gave the impression that he was going to win. He held the Cardinals hit less for seven and two-thirds '1s nings, a world series record, 4rd eased Up only in the ninth wen he was coasting on Seven- ID lead.
 Owns New Record
 He didn't last, but he carried out his assignment of winning. He needed help from Chandler to get the pesky Cardinals out in the ninth after they had scored four runs to bring thefi nal count of T to {. Ruf- fing couldn't tighten up. cnce the Cardinals. showing some of the drive that brought them the Ma tiona1 league pennant in the hottest stretch run in National league his- tory, began clicking, but he had done what every pitcher strives to do. He had held the Cardinals of until his teammates gave him a commanding lead and it was good enough to make him the leading world series pitcher in baseball his- tory. No pitcher previously had won more than six series games.
 Until Terry Moore. brilliant St. Louis centeraelder. drilled a single between first and second base in the eighth, Rufang had not given the Cards single hit and was troubled only with wildness. With two out in the ninth, the old man tired and didn't have quite enough steam left on his fast ball.
 So with the Cardinals running wild, Mccarthy took him out and put in Chandler, who put the tying runs on the bases but clamped down before they could score.
 Had 1t not been for the treach- erous infield of Sportsman's park. Rufiing probably would have had a one-hit shutout-the second in se- ries competition. The ball Walker Cooper, brother of Mort, hit with one man out in the ninth, took a bad hop as Red Rolfe, veteran Yankee third basenfan was set to field 1t. He got the next man out. 4AACth ttV 00AdAAtA& AR4&1AtI 9tUk tNas
 Max the Goat
 Rufling was the hero and # there was e goat it was Max Lanler, the Cardinal southpaw. His two errors led to two iinearned Yankee runs In the ninth. The other two unearned runs-ln the eighth-came when Slaughter made e two-base error in droDninR Ruffing,a long fiy. Yk WaR a hard chance and just as well could have been scored as a double.
