to get excited
If the Dodgers ever get around

Miscues, Gordon's S

EnIiven Series
BY OSCAR KAHAN,
Associated Press SPORTS Writer

noooSidtco 1000 cpoitS WHICH,
ST. LOUIS, Oct. 1.-THE glorious
World Series history OF the St. Louis
Cardinals and the New York
Yankees is getting a new chapter
that easily might be titled for one
of Willie Shakespeare plays, the
one he called "A Comedy of Errors"
With the exception of the pitch
ing, which has been excellent, and
Yankee Joe Gordon, who has been
sensational. the two teams have put
on weird exhibition of what not
to do when. The Cardinals, espe-
cially, have been guilty of faulty
fielding, foolish footwork and fu-
tility at bat.
When Lou Klein, their rookie Sec
ond oaseman. fumbled slow roller
in the third inning yesterday, 1t was
the ninth error in four games for
the Redbirds, establishing an un-
enviable World Series record. The
Yankees have Clipped in with four
errors and the total of 13 gives the
entire affair minor league tinge.
Errors Bring Excitement.

aged to create most of the excite
ment-outside of the Yankees 3-to-
l edge in games-and it would have
been a dull Sunday afternoon for
the 36,000-odd fans without the mis-.
plays to keep them on edge.
In the seventh inning frankie
Crosetti Of the Yankees handled
pop fly like hot potato and Bill
Johnson, busy trying to decide
where he'd make his play with the
bases full, forgot to keep part Of
his mind on the ball itself.
The combination gave the Cardi-
nails the IL tieing run and brought
a boisterous shower of pop bottles
from the bleacherites. From the
Cardinal VIEWPOINT, the sun-seat
denizens deserved a great big error.
Their demonstration gave Southpaw
Marius Russo an opportunity to rest
and relax before he returned to the
mound and got Klein for the third
out.
The prize incident occurred In the
eighth inning after the Yankees
went ahead, to |. 1t gave rise to
what undoubtedly will become
classic question. to be immortalzed
in song and story Why didn't Wall
ker Cooper slide?"
Cooper Prevents Victory.
Stan Musial was on second base
and Cooper was on first, to set the
scene Ray Sanders grounded to
Gordon, who made a hurried throw
to Crosetti in attempting a force
play. Cooper beat the ball to the
bag. but he came in standing up
and couldn't apply the brakes. al
though he tried TO hang on desper-
ately with an outstretched toe. His
momentum carried him past the bag
and Crosetti tagged him to end the
inning.
Musial, logging home with what
would have been the knotting run.
| found instead that he merely was
taking the long way around to his
position in the outfeld.
Even If it's lapse like Cooper's.
World Series competition between
the Yankees and the Cardinals al
ways produces something that fans
can talk about for years to come.
Remember Grover Cleveland Alex
ander coming in from the bullpen
to strike out Tony Lazzeri with the
bases full in the seventh inning OF
the seventh game in 1925? Remem-

ST. LOUIS, Oct 11.-Figures do
lie in the case Of Marius Ugo Russo,
the smooth southpaw who proved
again the master-minding of New

of the World Series.
Cold figures show Russo to be a
1874 hitter and 5-and-l0 pitcher
in the regular season.
But the lefty certainly was no
dime store article on the mound
yesterday. And he hit two doubles,
the second leading to the winning
Yankee run in 2-1 struggle that
gave the American Leaguers a 81
edge in the series.
That contest wasn't the only one in
which the ambitious New Yorker
saved the day with his pitching

Several Ways to Frost Windows Are Suggested

Dear Miss NOVEL;: My satinwood

over the finish. What can I do
about it? No furniture polish seems
to cover the cracks.-L. B.
Answer-This very often happens
when your house lacks the proper
amount of humidification. For the
cracks, rub down the finish with very
fine sandpaper (No. 3 "OC, then
wipe the surface with turpentine.
You can then apply two coats Of
top-quality, quick-drying varnish,
rubbing down the first one with the
same kind of fine sandpaper. You
can get this varnish In a semigloss

Dear Miss NOVEL;: My house IS
50 close to my neighbor's that there
is no privacy in my kitchen. I have
heard that I can stain the glass
with beer and vinegar to make the
glass Opaque. Is this feasible?-
K. G. D.
Answer-At q large paint store
you should be able to get sheets of
material intended for your purpose.
The material is in imitation OF
ground glass, or in colors; some Of
the sheets have glue on one side,
others are put on with varnish.
Another plan is to daub the glass
with a lump Of putty softened with
linseed oil; repeat after "a hours
for hardening. This gives the effect
Of frosting and is washable. Or
you may be able to get = can of
frosting liquid, which also Is in

some way that the ink may be re-
moved?-T. s. D.
Answer-Suggest that you moist
