WHITE, BOROMY ! MAY BE THIRD
 GAME PITCHERS
BeazIey Won First Game !, of World Series Career
 But Stars Helped
By LEO H. PETERSEN United Press Sports EditOr)

 New York Yankees and St. Louis Cardinals, all even in their battle for baseball's richest prize, headed for New York today for the third game of the World Series at Yankee Stadium tomorrow.
 There didn't appear to be much chance that the series would end with the three games in New York Saturday, Sunday and Monday. In taking one game each of the two played in St. Louis, the teams looked evenly matched, perhaps enough so to make seventh game necessary.
 Both managers were confident.
 "The series is only going five games and I'm not going to tell you which team is going to win," South worth said. But you might recall that I said the other day that there wasn't a team in the world the Cardinals can't beat one game out of two"
 Southworth said he would pitch one of his two ace southpawes, Er- nie White or Max Lanier, in the third game. The Yankees believe it will be White, for Lanier was not too hot in his relief assignment in the first game.
 One of Three
 Mccarthy said he would announce his third game pitcher upon arriv- irg in New York this afternoon. It was certain to be Sturgeon Chand- Ter, Alley Donald or Hank Borowy. The probable choice was Chandler, who wasn't ball of fire in his re- lief assignment, either, but there was some speculation that McCar- thy might entrust his rookie star, Hank Borowy, with the job. South worth def1ed baseball tradition to start and win with his rookie ace. Johnny Beazley, in the second game and Mccarthy might take the same chance.
 Southworth's pitcher for the fourth game depends upon the out come of tomorrow's contest. Should the Cardinals lose, he probably would call on Morton Cooper, the opening game loser. If they win, he probably will pick the lefthander who doesn't start tomorrow.
 For the Yankees in the fourth game it's likely to be Donald.
 Just as the Cardinals weren't the Cardinals in the first game, the Yankees weren't the Yankees in yesterdays game. The errors which gave the Yankees four runs in the 2 to 4 victory in the opener showed in the St. Louis box score. The er- TOTS which cost the Bronx Bombers yesterdays game were of different kind and weren't recorded. The Cardinals errors were of commits sion. the Yankees of omission.
 There was no question that Beaz- ley deserved the 4 to 3 victory, but the score probably would have been different if it hadn't been for two plays-one in the first inning, the other in the ninth.
 MispIay
 Ernie (Tiny) Bonharn, who al- lowed only six hits to Beazley's 10 made the first bad guess. With Jim- my Brown on first in the first in- ming as result of base on balls something pretty rare in Bonham's pitching-Tiny elected to make a play at second on Terry Moore's sacrifice bunt. He hesitated a split second and it cost him an out be- cause Brown made with a typical Cardinal headlong slide. Bonham could have caught Moore at first easily.
 The Yankee ace, who like Beazley won 21 games during the season retired the next two men, Enos Slaughter and Stan Musial, who la- ter were to become the Redbird heroes, but he couldn't get by Walker Cooper. The Cardinal catch CT drilled one into right field for 8 double which scored two runs.
 There was break on the hit, too Normally, Gordon would have been in a position where he might have caught the ball, but he was of bal ance because he had feinted toward second in an effort to force Brown to cut down his lead.
 They were earned runs, all right but they weren't the type of runs Yankee pitchers usually allow.
 Great Throw
 As if that wasn't bad enough Tuck Stainback, a pinch runner cost the Yankees their chance fol victory in the ninth. Running fol Bill Dickey. who had singled, Stain back tried to leg it to third on Bud- dy Hassett's one-baser into right. Il took a perfect throw by Enc: Slaughter to get him, but it looked like a reckless chance Stainback took, considering Slaughter's throw ing reputation and the fact there was no one out.
 That changed the complexion oi the game for, instead of putting Beazley into 8 deep hole with mer on first and second with no one out it left only a man on first with one out. The Cardinal star was good enough to keep the tying run iron getting around.
 But those are baseball breaks. Int Cardinals got them yesterday anS the Yankees received them the da. before.
 Beazley with a three-run lead ans two out in the eighth, looked likl he was on his way to . shutout Then the Yankee bats exploded Roy Cullerbine and Joe DiMaggi' hit successive singles and Charle, Keller got the series first home ruI to tic the score.
 But Slaughter and Musial, tn heart of the Cardinal batting orde with only one hit between them, fl the first game, clicked in the Car dial half of the eighth and won tn bail game. Slaughter doubled an went to third when Rizzuto droppel Cullenhlne'a throw in. Muslal sin gled 10 score Slaughter with the q breaking run. The error dln't niak any difference for Slaughter wollll have scored from second. Some base bail men didn't think 70. but Dlcke said the play at the plate wouldn' have been close,
