1S44 BASEBALL CLASSIC TO BE
 1 TRIP AFFAIR

Chicago. Aug. 2e-CuP)-The st. Louis Cardinals win open theiR eighth World Series campaign Wednesday, Oct. (. six weeks from tomorrow, when they meet the American League pennant winner at Sportsmens Park In what may be st. Louis first cross-town series.
 Although it still is possible for the Cardinals to lose out In the Ma. tional League race, the possibility is SO remote that the second-place Pittsburgh Pirates. who are i8 games behind, did not even have a representative at the World Series meeting in Judge Kenesaw M. Lan- dis office yesterday.
 The American League was repre-. sented by all four of the first d. vision teams, the leading St. Louis Browns who stand lea games ahead of the second-place Boston Red Sox. the New York Yankees and the Detroit Tigers, who are tied for third place, four games behind the Browns.
 If the series is an all-st. Louis affair. it will be played Oct. {. 5. 6, 2. 8. 8 and n. The games of Oct. 1, 5, 9 and II would be considered home games for the Cards. although all contests will be played at Sports mems Park.
 If Detroit opposes the Cardinals, the Tigers would play at St. Louis on Oct. {. 5 and 6 and then the scene would be switched to Detroit for the final games Oct. 6. Q, 10 and n. if the full seven games are re. quired.
 should the Cards opponents be either the Red Sox or Yankees. the first three games would be played at St. Louis Oct. {, 5, and and then the locale would be switched to the east for the final games Oct. 9. 10. n and B.
 Little Travel
 Regardless of which teams com pete, the series will be a one-tr.p affair in compliance with a request of the office of defense transporta- tion to cut travel to a minimum.
 The third. fourth, sixth and sev- enth games will be played for the benefit of war relief and the ser. vicemens fund, while the slo0.O00 to be paid for broadcasting rights also will go to servicemen. Last year. the sum donated to the ser- vicemens fund amounted to s30s.- 373.
 Tn addition to Judge Landis, base- ball officials attending yesterdays meeting included: sam Breadon, president of the Cardinals; Charles McManus, New York Yankee park superintendent: Don Barnes, presi- dent. and William O. Dewitt. vice. president of the Browns: Jack Zel- lar, general manager Of the Dee troit Tigers. and William HaTridge, president of the American League. who represented Boston.

World Series Opens In St. Louis Oct. I
Moncuso, HoywoFth Catching Browns Tc Pennont And Will Do In World Series
By HARRY GRAYSON NEA Snnrth Editor

New York, Aug. 29-The Browns disagree with those who contend that cacthing Is their one weak spot.
 In their freshman year, Frank Mancuso and Myron Claude Hay worth are efficient enough to be catching the St. Louis club to its first American League pennant in a ycars. and their teammates arc confident they will be consider ably more than adequate in the World Series. And backing them up is Tom Turner. acquired from the White Sox on waivers, better than a green hand and a smack ing left field hitter.
 Not a few baseball men said Luke Sewcll should have his head examined when he sent Prank Hayes back to the Athletics and Rick Terrell to the Senators.
 Who would handle the Browns pitchers2
 Manager Sewell knew. He had the best line on Mancuso and Red Hayworth.
 Mancuso literally dropped out of the sky into the Browns camp at Cape Girardeau last spring. He spent last season in the Army. was a lieutenant of paratroopers when given medical discharge as the result Of being injured in n jump.
 PITCHING IS ANSWER
 Mancuso and Hayworth broth CTS Of widely known catchers, were developed by the Browns. Mancusos work with San Antonio ticketed him for the berth he now holds. Hayworth came up via Norfolk, Augusta, Dallas, Win ston-Salem and Toledo. where he batted PTS in l02 games last season.
 MancuSo and Hayworth have almost evenly divided the Browns catching, and the answer to it is the steadiness of the pitching. Not once this campaign have the Browns lost more than three games in a row.
 Mancuso, g. is perhaps the cagier of the two. At G feet and l90 pounds, he IS considerably bigger than Gus of the Giants and, like his illustrious brother, suffers from lack of speed.
 Hayworth. 6-l l2 and 200 pounds.

Aviation Stocks Gain

NEW YORK, Feb. 21.-Aviation
stocks, few rails and assorted spe-
cialties made little progress today
but many market leaders were at
a standstill or in slightly lower
ground.
Good earnings statements helped
such issues as Goodyear while
others reaching for advances seemed
buoyede by favorable postwar pros
poets highlighted by the generally
pleasing news from most battle
fronts. Armament groups, however
were not particularly depressed and
some of these did.a little better than
hold their own. Tomorrow's hon-
day, in which principal exchanges
of the Nation will suspend, was an
important purchasing restraint.
Modest plus marks predominatec
until around midday. Light selline
then clouded the direction, and
near the close, minor irregularity
was the rule. Dealings were slug
gish after the start and transfers
for the full proceedings were around
600, 900 shares.
Attracting bids were American
Airlines, United Air Lines, Pan
American Airways, Eastern All
Lines, Central Railway og New Jer-
sey, Great Northern, Douglas Air
craft, Pittsburgh Coal, Lehigh VAL
ley Coal preferred, Brooklyn Union
Gas and j. C. Penney. Backward
were Chrysler, United States Steel
Santa Fe, Sears Roebuck, Inter-
national Harvester, American Smelt-
ing and General Electric.
Bonds were mixed with a hand
full of rails resistant.
