 Depends On Boo Ferris

St. Louis, Oct. 14-(UP)-For the 10th time in major league history, a World Series wnet into 8 seventh game with the Boston Red Sox 8 to favoriteS to win from the St. Louis Cardinals in the deciding game to- morrow.
 Those odds were against tradition, for six times in the previous limits Series the National league came out on top. Buy this time they were betting that the Cardinals, who were bouncing off the floor all season, couldn't make it.
 Joe Cronin, who led the Red. Sox to the American League penrant, was going to call on Dave (Boo) F'erriss, his 25-game winner, in this crucial contest while it will be Murry Dickson, @ right handler rescued from the bullpen, for the underdog Cards.
 Could Be Revenge For Dickson
 Ferriss, the sophomore star who has been the clutch hurler for the Red Sox all season long, beat Dick son to 0 in the third game played at Boston Wednesday. He allowed only six hits and base on balls as he proved that he was a guy around to stay so far as pitching in the majors is concerned. There had been some doubt about it for the 21 vic- tories he scored in his Freshman season had been discounted because most of the stars were off to war. But he came back this year to better that record by four triumphs and convince the most doubting Thomas that he was anything but one-year wonder.
 Dickson hasn't had the success which Ferriss has enjoyed, but he was a leading figure in the Cardinal drive to the National League pen nant after a payoff with the Brook lyn Dodgers. His victories-14-look a little short against those big 25 of FerriSs. But most of DicksonS wins came when the going was roughest-after Dyer elevated him to a starting pitchers role as a result of the jump to the Mexican League of starters Max Lanier and Freddie Martin.
 He seldom failed his boss after he was promoted from bull pen drud- gerry, and now Dyer was counting on him to atone that third game defeat. He allowed six hits and three runs in seven innings before he was lifted for a pinch hitter and during that time made only one mistake-he threw a fat one to Rudy York. The Cherokee Indian first baseman met it with a mighty swing and drove the ball out of the park. That turned out to be the ball game.
 To Get Chance Tomorrow
 I'd like to pitch to that guy again with men an bases" Dickson said, after that game breaking bow. He never could do it again"
 So tomorrow he is going to have a chance to prove that prophecy, today being kept open for ticket sales. World Series tickets are sold in blocks of three, so when seventh game is necessary no fans have tickets, making a day necessary to take care of the 35,000 lucky fans who can crowd Sportsman's Park.
 Scalpers were anticipating field day. They took advance orders at $40 each for the $6.25 reserved seats.
 Warm and clear weather was fore cast for the deciding game.
 The Red Birds kept alive yesterday when Harry CThe Cat) Brecheen, coming up with another pitching masterpiece, set down the Sox with seven hits to win, to 1. Except for York's triple he would have scored another shutout
 Teammates Support Him
 His teammates gave him all the runs he needed in the third inning when they came up with trio of tallies on singles by Del Rice, the rookie catcher, Stan Musial, Country Slaughter, and double by Al SchoendienSt.
 Those three runs would have been enough but the Cards came up with ai.other in the eighth when Marty Marion the present day star of all shortstops, doubled to drive in Harry Walker.
 Mickey Harris, who had lost the second game to Brecheen, 3 to 0, went out in that pig Cardinal third. Cronin, leading then three games to two, gambled on his 17-game winn- ing left handler because Sportsman's Park usually has been paradise for Southpaws But Mickey didn't have it yeSterday-so it was another seventh game Series.
 So Cronin wasn't gambling any more. He was going with the best he had. It wasn't quite that situa- tion with Dyer, but he gave Dickson the nod over George (Big Red Munger, the sinking ball righthan- der who had evened the Cards up in the fourth game.
 The Cards had one big advantage they had plenty of first time pitchers ready while Cronin had but one, for big Tex Hughson fol- lowed Harris to the mound yes- terday.
 That left him only Ferriss, and he was sure that would be enough. Dyei not only had Munger, but also Howie Pollet. behind his start- ing choice. He wasn't figuring that either of them would be needed.
