Worried Pilot Trying
To Build Fire Under
Loafing Charges
BY CHARLES DUNKLEY,
Associated Press Sports Writer

ST. LOUIS, Oct. billy the Kid
SouthWorth, the master baseball
strategist, has turned to psychology
to fire the spirit Of his st. Louis
Cardinals, world champions, in their
final games Of the season.
The players had dressed quickly
after last nights game with the
New York Giants and the clubhouse
was deserted with the exception of
Southworth and his two trusty aides.
Coaches Clyde "Buzzy" Wares and
Mike Gonzales. the fiery Cuban.
Southworth, dressed in street
clothes, puffed on cigarette as he
meditated, sitting in front of his
locker
Suddenly he blurted:
II hated to see it, but there's been
terrific let down since We clinched
the pennant l want hustle all the
time, winning or losing,
Wants Club Full of Fire.
II want those boys to keep their
spirit up SO we'll be ready to tear
into the Yankees in New York next
Tuesday. My fondest desire is to
beat them again-four straight il
possible.
At clubhouse pep talks, South
worth told his players he wanted
them to win by the widest margin
in National League history. If it
couldn't be an all-time record, then
a modern one would do Finally, he
expressed desire to win as many
games as the Cardinals OF 1912 did
That was LOG.
Today they had chalked up 102
victories. with only three games re-
naming, but they displayed no ter
rife fire and dash in their recent
games that would terrify any
Yankee follower.
Southworths psychology has
worked only to moderate degree
but he Is convinced this attitude will
be shaken when they board a train
for New York at $50 pm. Sunday
They'd better be hoped up to
play their hearts out or they'll be in
for something" Southworth said.
Litwhiler to Play Left.
Southworth definitely announced
that Danny Litwhiler, obtained from
the Phillies on June 2. would play
left field against the Yankees in the
World Series. Filling thS position
permanently has been a worry for
Southworth all season. Litwhiler'
squirt in batting clinched the spot
for him. He hasn't made an error
in his last 83 games.
Alpha Brazle, the blond southpaW
rated as proba bic starter in one OF
the series games in New York, re-
ports today for induction into the
Army. Even if the 28-year- ole
Brazle is accepted, which seems
likely. he will be available for the
entire series. as he will receive a
three-week furlough given all induc-
tees. Since Coming to the Cardinals
from Sacramento, Calf. in July. he
has won eight games in 10 starts.
