Louis Cardinals and the St. Louis Browns, oil sven at one game each, entrusted their pitching for tho third game of tho World Series to- day to . rookie star and Q brawny medically discharged Seabee.
 Manager Billy CThe Kld) South worth selected Ted WilkB, who won i7 games while losing only four this season for Q new Major League freDhniATi record, while Luke geWell, pilot of the American League Cins derella boys, called on Jack (Pretty Boy) Kramer.
 Kramer, the handsomeBt and nAehiest dresser on the BroWnS' roster, won i7 games while losing i3 this season and did oil his wins ming in the Spring and Fall. Most Of his defeate came in the hot weather Of July and August.
 Both will receive thoif World Scr. ies baptism in c key game, for in the pest 10 years the team which won the third game of the series has gone on to win the title.
 'Wilks, c Fawsboned right handler, was brought tip from the Cardinal farm at Columbus of the American Association last Spring and was topped only by Morton Cooper among Southworth's hurling winners this year.
 Kramer, who had been on in-and. outer, also came Up with the Browns last Spring from on American AS. sociation Club, Toledo. The Beau Drummel was discharged from the Deabees in June, io43, after serV. ing for eight months.
 Neither Gouthworth nor 9ewoll were concerned over the lack of their hurling nominees World Ser. les experience.
 We got back on the right track yesterday" gouthworth said, "and Ted will be oil right"
 sewell, diSconsolate because his team kicked away the second game yesterday 3 to 2 in Il things after winning the opener Wednesday 2 to ], was sure that the Browns would return to the fielding from which was c Major factor in their drive for their first American League pen. nant
 we'll take them today behind Kramer" he said.
 eewell shot his ace, Nelson Pot. ter, yesterday in on effort to make it two in . row over their intra.city rivals and without three early in. ming errors would have won 3 to 0 over the regulation distance.
 Potter was not charged with the defeat, but he had only himself to blame for sending the game into overtime. It was not his fault when an amateur magician and c second string catcher teamed up !n the iith inning-the first extra, in. ming World Series game since the New York Yankees defeated the Cincinnati Reds ' to { in 10 innings in ie3e-to send the Browns down to defeat.
 He had been taken out for Q pinch hitter in the seventh and his relief, Bob MuncFief, was on the mound. But that pinch hitter would not have been necessary had Potter not made three mistakes.
 After turning back the National League champions for two innings he yielded Q single to Emil verban, one of the Cardinals weakest hit. ters, to open the third. Then Max Lanier, the starting Cardinal pitch. CT tried to sacrifice and popped Q fly which dropped ct Potter'B feet. The Brownie pitcher did not pick t up in time. When he did pick 1t up he threw wildly past first for two errors on the same play. In. stead of having Q man on second with one out there were men on third and first with none out. Ver- ban scored an unearned run aS Augie Bergamo grounded out.
 Potter also set up the second un. earned run scored by the Cards in the fourth, but 1t was his pitching, and not his fielding, this time. With one man out he walked Ray Sanders. Sanders went to second on George KurowSkiS single and the bases were filled when Mark Craftsman, Brownie third baSeman, Sumbled Martin Marion's sure dou. ble play ground ball. Sanders scored after Verban flied out. The Browns made c fourth CT. TOT later but 1t did not figure in any scoring.
 They had plenty of opportunities to make up for their fielding lapses, but Sylvester (Blix) Donnelly, who amuses his teammates with magic during his spare time, turned in one of the best jobs of relief pitch. ing ever seen in World Series to turn them back.
 He received his reward in the 1ltn when Ken O'Dea broke up the game with 6 single to right. The Cards second string catcher who has been koncking around the majors for a long time was batting for Verban and the blow scored Ray Sanders who singled and had been sacriflced to second.
 The hitless wonders of the Amer ican League had broken through the fast curve ball pitching of Lanier in the seventh to tie the score. With two out Gene Moore whose infield hit had been the only safety cff the chunky southpaw, singled and scored when Catcher Red Hayworth doubled. With the tying run on second base Ssewen had no choice except to lift Potter, who had pitched four hit ball over six innings. He sent up Frank Man. csuo catcher and former para
