hasn't paid off-as in the sixth inning yesterday-but Dyer was sure that the worm would turn.
 T wouldn't be starting Munger if I didn't think he could win," he said. He dismissed as lone of those things" what may have been a key play for the Cards yesterday even after York's homer.
 That came in the sixth inning when Dickson led off with a double. Al Schoendienst lofted a short fly to center that looked as if it would drop for a hit. Mike Gonzales, whose direction of base runners as third base coach has drawn a lot of criticism in the Series, waved Dickson on toward the plate. But Dom DiMaggio came in and caught the ball.. then threw strike to Johnny PeSky, covering second base, to double the Cardinal hurler. That play broke the back of the Cards most threatening rally and turned out to be another St. Louis gamble which had gone wrong.
 Dyer hoped the gamble he was making today would be different. But the betting was that it wouldn't be.

ball experts were wondering why he did that, particularly after York had hurt him in that first game while the Southpaw aces of the Cards-Pollet and Brecheen-suf- fered no damage from Williams vaunted bat.
 Perhaps he reasoned that Dick son, right-handed sinker ball ex- pert, would have 8 better chance to retire York, who swings from the right side of the plate, than Williams, who bats from the left side. At ay rate, the three and two pitch which York laid into prob- ably had Dyer wondering later whether that old baseball aziom- never pass Ruth to get to Gehrig- shouldn't be made to read never pass Williams to get to York"
 Will Never Try It Again
 It took some American League managers a long time to find out that passing Babe Ruth to pitch to the late Lou Gehrig never paid off in the victory column. The chances are that Dyer feels he won't order Williams passed again on very old evidence that York's bat packs more dynamite.
 Unlike Dyer, Cronin was doing no pitching gambling. He was com ing right back with Hughson, one of his aces. And win or lose, to- morrow it will be Mickey Harrls' who lost to Brecheen.
 Cronin wasn't lookin beyond the fifth game, for he figures his club could wind up the Series in the grounds where they have been poison to their opposition all sea- son. The Sox have lost only IT out of the 78 games they nave played here this year. Seventy seven of them were during the reg ular season. The 18th was yester- day. And that 78th also showed that Ferriss' season record at FenWay Park was carrying on. During the regular season, the handsome right handler won 13 of his 9 games there without losing a single decl- sion. So his win in the third game of the Series meant that his record now was 14-0 on his home grounds.
 Hughson, too, won most of the 20 games which he registered this season, on friendly grounds. Cronn was sure that Hughson, like Fer riss, would continue his winning ways before home town fans.
 Winning Players Get S5,OOO
 It will be the last game in one respect. After today, the players will not share in the receipts. Should another capacity throng like yesterdays 34,500 show up again today, 1t would mean that the high for winning share would be under $5 900 while for each play CT on the losing team it would be about $500.

Boston, Oct. 10- UP)- Talk of a trade sending Ted Williams away from the Bos- ton Red Sox subsided today, although it did not entirely disappear, after Red Sox Manager Joe Cronin said Will Hams "assuredly" would be with Boston in 1947.
 "Williams is not for sale" " Cronin said, answering re- ports that the Yankees were offering Joe DiMaggio, Aaron Robinson and Bill Johnson and that Detroit offered Hal Newhouser and Dick Wake field. Williams himself had said he thought he might be sold.

PoIIet We'll Rested But Held Back

Boston, Oct. 10. (UP)-Eddie Dyer, who wasn't in very favor fble position to take chances, took
 long shot gamble today in an ef- fort to get his St. Louis Cardinals Rven with the Boston Red Sox in fhe 1946 World Series.
 Trailing two games to one, the pilot of the National League cham Pions named George (Red) Nun Fer, right handler, to pitch against Tex Hughson and the Red Sox in he fourth game and kept Howie Pellet, his star southpaw who has bad more rest than he is accus- lomed to, on the bench.
 Munger has been 8 question mark fnce he was mustered out of serv- ce in August and, 10 days later, began pitching for the Cardinals in Their successful pennant campaign. Dyer started him in some key James and for the most part found him wanting,
 Puts Chip on Munger
 But the manager of the Car finals never has wavered in the confidence he placed in Munger. Po he was calling on him today Ior a do-or- die effort. For if the eedbirds should lose this one, there Iren't many people around who Eould give too much for their ihances.
 On the other hand, should Mum Ter beat big Tex and the Red Sox, Pyer would be sitting in the cat lird seat. For he would have Pol et ready to pitch the fifth game Iere Friday and Harry (The Cat) brecheen, the shutout winner of he second game of the Series, eady for the sixth contest.
 Perhaps he reasoned that even ! his gamble today didn't pan out and the chances he has taken h the Series thus far haven't made Jim look very good-Pollet was al- host a sure thing to beat the Sox h the fifth game.

year 1914. according TO life in
surance statisticians. There
were fewer suicides than in any
year Of which we have record,
with one exception. Murders,

the fact that war unites people
