CARDS COULD NOT SCORE WITH
 MEN ON BASES

R0WGA AAAtyAAAk tAAot AANo AAoNAAAH uAoAAgA the baseball dynasty of the New York Yankees for 20 years paid dividends again today with the st. Louis Cardinals the victims.
 This time the strength at the plate had to share honors with the strong right arms of pitchers Spud Chandler, Hank Borowy and Johnny Murphy and the left wing of Marlus Russo, but in the end 1t was the same old story--a ball hit out of the park by e Yankee.
 And the man who hit the ball that brought an end to the 1943 World Series and gave the Yankees their 10th world championship in 20 years was Q veteran who was brought up in the best Yankee tradition-Bill Dicgey-one of the greatest, if not the greatest, catcher of all time.
 He stepped up to the late at Sportsman's Park yesterday after noon in . tight bali game and took only one cut to close out baseballs second wartime series and put the Yankees back in the spot they re- linquished last year to the speed boys of St. Louis.
 Dickey, last man of murders row, still had 1t in the clutch. He was following in the footsteps of such sluggers as thew only Babe Ruth; the late Lou Grehrig, iron man of baseball; Bob Meusel, the bullet-armed outflelder; Tony Lag zeri, keyman in one of the greatest inflelds in diamond history, and Earl Combs, as fleet a center fielder as the game has ever seen.
 Sixteen years of battering behind the plate have left their mark on the big boy from Louisiana. No longer does he have the speed he had when he came up to the Bronx Bombers as Q green gid of 20 to earn a place in one of the most feared batting orders any pitcher ever faced.
 There were two men out when Big Bill came to bat in that sixth inning and Charley (King Kong) Keller was dancing off first base 4AS BdLkA0 was SCOIeASSbs
 Up And Out
 Mort Cooper had been blowing the Yankees down with flreball that left i've of them swinging helplessly in c row. Dicgey had swung futilely at those pitches himself. But not this time. Cooper let 1t go and Bill swinging from the heels in that Yankee fastion-met 1t right on the nose. The ball went up and out, and there was no question from the time 1t met the bat that 1t was the ball game.
 As he numbered around the bases behind the youthful Keller the crowd of 33,s72 knew that Yankee power had paid of again.
 But the Cardinal kids--in true Missouri style--still had to be shown
 There still was trouble ahead as the Redbirds, driven by the slashine tongue of Billy Southworth, at- tempted to come from behind to win another one for Big Mort and his dad, who died several hours before Cooper stopped the Yankees in the second game at New York.
 They tried in the seventh, again in the eighth and made their great est bid in the ninth.
 The sorrel-thatched kid from the Cracker State had one man down and was only two outs away from his second victory of the series. Then 0angling Slats Marion, Cardi- nal shortstop, powered Q single to left center and Dangerous Danny Litwniler, pinch-hitting for the pitcher, followed with Q single to center.
 It looked bad for Chandler, who all afternoon had been fighting his way out of trouble. But he showed he had 1t in the clutch = just as Dickey had in the sixth. H struck out Kline, Cardinal second baseman, with the trying runs on the bases, he forced Debs Garms-once the National Leagues leading hitter to ground out to Joe Gordon.
 Cooper Won One
 That was the 1e43 World Series.
 Chandler had started the Yan- kees on the right path by defeating Max Lanier { to 2 in the opener. Cooper then evened 1t with a 4-S win over Ernie Bonham. Bpt the Yankee left New York from St. Louis in this first onet-srip classic with Q two-to-one lead when Fordham Hank Borowy, with the help of Fordham Johnny Murphy, defeated Rookie Southpaw Alpha Brazle 6 to 2 in third game.
 When they resumed play twa days on the banks of the Mississippi, Southpaw Marius Russo made it three to one with Q 2 to victory over Lanier and Harry Brecheen.
 Then Chandler wound it up as he started it-with the help of Big Bill Dicgey, the sole survivor of murderer's row.
