New York, Oct. /. (UP)-The diff
ference between the winning and
losing shares In the World Series
probably is the greatest incentive
for inspired play in the annual
classic and this year it may work
to greater advantage for the
Yankees than the Cardinals.
Though most Of the Cardinals
weren't as lean and hungry as de-
scribed and were getting consider
ably more than "coolie pay from
Sam Breadon, 1t generally was re-
ported that a lot Of them got more
for winning the 1912 series than
they did for playing the entire year
in the National League.
However, during the Of season
Breadon rewarded the kids with
substantial pay boosts and they
won't need the series money this
fall as badly as last.
The situation Is different with
the Yankees. Such first year men on
the club as Billy Johnson, Bud
Metheny, Charley wensloff, George
Stirnweiss, Nick Etten, and Roy
Weatherly, have replaced high
priced Yankee veterans like Charley
Ruffing, Joe DiMagglo, Tom Hem
, rich, George Selkirk and Red Rolfe.
The difference between the winning
and losing Enthusiastically about
$3,000-may spur them to greater
effort and key the entire team to
their pitch.
While speculation on the series
reached new intensity, the fans
generally were content to let the
regular season die q natural death
yesterday.
The smallest crowd In the history
Of Yankee Stadium, I'll paying
guests, saw Sturgeon (Spud
Chandler do q three inning brisk
World Series tuneup in which he
held the Chicago White Sox hitless.
The Sox got to his successor, Bill
Zuber, however, and turned in an
8 to 3 victory. Ed Smith, the win
ner, registered his 18th triumph.
Joe Hoover's third inning homer
with two abase gave Pitcher Frank
(Stubby) Overmire working mar
gin for a to 0 Detroit shutout
over the luckless Philadelphia Ath-
letics. Overmire was hit on the
ankle by a liner in the sixth and
had to retire, but Hal White pre-
served the shutout by holding the
AS hitless for three and two.thirds
innings.
The Cards chalked up their 2lst
shutout in a National League night
game, defeating the New York
Giants / to 0 behind HOWE Krist,
usually q reliefer Rookie Bill Vol
selle Of the Giants along fine until
the eighth when the Cards scored
their run on q single by Harry
Walker, his steal Of second and Lou
Klein's one baser. It was Krist's
10th victory.
Brooklyn increased It's third place
margin over Pittsburgh to a full
game and snapped Cincitnnati's 10
game winning streak, 8 to 2.
Nate Andrews Of the Braves got
q sour 30th birthday present from
the Cubs who defeated him 5 to 4
in IL innings, Though his hitting
nearly saved the day twice. He
drove in two runs with single in
the ninth and led to o, but his
control lapsed and Chicago tied the
score. He scored another tally with
q single in the 18th, but again the
Cubs equalized, then won 1t for re-
lief Pitcher Eddie Hanyzewski IN
the 9th. The victory gave the Cubs
fifth place.
A St. Louis at Boston twin bill
and a Cleveland at Washington
night game in the American were
cancelled because Of weather.
Yesterdays star-Pitcher HOWE
Krist Of the Cardinals whose six
hit shoutout Of the Giants might
win him a starting assignment
