Dickson To Be Likely

route to Boston, Oct. 8 = (UP) - The Red SoX and the Cardinals, leaving Sportsman's Park in St. Louis where they split the first two games, headed for Bostons' Fenway Park today for the third game of the World Series.
 And there wasn't anything but joy riding with them
 Manager Joe Cronin of the Red Sox, hoping for the best, figured that the vaunted power which his team showed as it swept to the American League pennant would assert itself again once his boys got back home.
 Eddie Dyer, the boss of the Card inals, was just as sure that his Red Birds, having proved that they be- long in the same park with the Red Sox, would continue to do as well away from home as they did on their home grounds.
 Dickson to Go in Third
 Dyer nominated little Murry Dickson, righthander with lot of stuff, to go after that vital third game tomorrow while Cronin bank ed on Dave (Boo) Ferriss, who won 25 games for him this season.
 It was in Fenway Park where the Red Sox won their pennant. They were terrors-plus on their own dia- mond in contrast to the Cardinals record. The Red Birds didn't do too well at home during the regular season but once they got into enemy territory they exploded with the class that brought them the Nation al League pennant after playof against the Brooklyn Dodgers.
 Dickson won the game which gave the Cards the pennant, beat ing the Dodgers with the aid of Harry (the CaD Brecheen, the bril- liant southpaw of the Red Birds who got his team back on even terms yesterday as he shut out the Cronin men on four hits, all of them singles, to win 3 to O. Dyer was expecting him to take up where Brecheen left off.
 The Cards may not win at Bos- ton, but they proved to @ lot of ohCpIltS IlldG bllCy 11do O 4OV O1 OAdoS It may not be enough to win the Series, but no matter what happens from here on out they've let the Red Sox know that they are meet ing tough ball club.
 Banks on Ferriss at Home
 Although he wasn't at all unhap- py, Cronin, who had cautioned from the start that the Cards were going to be rough to beat, was con- fident that Ferriss, one of the greatest pitchers to come up in years, would do all right before the home folks. Under normal circum- stances he would have pitched the youthful right handler yesterday, but decided he could afford to gam ble since big Tex Hughson won the opening game for him. So Cronin held him back, figuring he might go better before the home folks.
 The gamble turned out to be bad one for Mickey Harris. al- though he hurled good ball, lost to the curving masterpiece which Bre- cheen came up with.
 There have been few World Series games in which a pitcher dominated the play to the extent that Brecheen did yesterday. He used his arm to keep the Red Sox away from the plate and his bat to account for the only run he needed to win.
 That came in the third inning when his single scored Del Rice, who in his first time at bat in a World Series game had rifled a dou- ble down the left field line. Bre- cheen was a keyman in the other two runs the Cards scored in the fifth. His attempted sacrifice, after Rice again had hit-this time a single-became quite blow. The veteran Pinky Higgins came in fast to scoop up the bunt and fired 1t to second with plenty of time to catch Rice on force. But the throw was wild and Rice wound up at third and Brecheen on second. Terry Moore, with an infield hit. and Stan Musial on grounder brought both men around.
 Threw Book at Sox
 When he wasn't hitting or run ming the bases, Brecheen was using all the pitching cunning in the book as he turned back the Red Sox in- ming after inning. He reached the heights each time he faced Ted Williams, with the Cards using a modified version of the "Boudreau Shift" against the slugging Red Sox star.
 Brecheen fed him nothing but in- side curve balls, most of which had Williams ducking away from the plate fearing the ball would hit him. But Harry had enough stuff on 1t so it would break over the plate.
 Even in the ninth when Williams, trying to take advantage of the de- fensige position of the Cards and pull ball to left field, laid his bat against 8 Brecheen curve it wound up as foul which shortstop Marty Marion caught in front of the third base boxes. George (Whitey) Kur- owski, the Cardinal third baseman, had no chance to get the ball be- cause he was playing on the right side of second base.
 AS 1t turned out, the Cards had Williams figured out to perfection. Once he lined a drive that would have been a hit in any mans league, but there was Red Schoen- dienst, playing some 20 feet over to the right of his normal position, plucking it off his shoe tops for an out. Another time Williams fried one which Musial came up with back of first base. It too, would have been a hit had the Card inf1elders been in their normal positions.
 Prove Selves Worthy Foes
 Maybe they were breaks, the kind
