Boston SoXy
 Aboard the World Series speeis Enroute to St. Louis, oct. 12-CUP -Joe Cronir1, his Boston Red So out in front three games to twc indicated strongly today that he wa going with the southpaw slants . Mickey Harris in the sixth gam of the World Series t0t1orfow whii Manager Eddie Dyer of the Card inals named Hairy tThe Cat) Bfe cheen to pitch for St. Louis.
 Tt will Be Harris or Dave Fer tiss," Ctohiri said as his club lief F'ehway Park for the banks of tn Mississippi, but he tipped his han, several times later when he alway named Harris first.
 Dyer, his 18th birthday a Sd, affair, was definite about Brecheel as his club sped by train towar, Sp0rtsmah's Park. "f don't kfiot who my pitcher will be for tn, seventh game" he said, ''but d know there Is going to be seventh | game"
 if Brecheen Loses, That's All
 He was counting of1 Btecheen t come through again tomorrow as h. did in the second game Monda! when he set down the Atnericai League champions on four scattered hits to win, 3 to 0.
 Should Brecheen falter ther, would not be a seventh game. I there is 1t will be played at St. Louis site of the first two games, on Tues. day, Monday being held open fol ticket sales, just as today was an of day to enable the teams to change cities.
 For most of the Red Sox an opet date for travelling was not necessary as all the club except eight players flew to St. Louis last night aftel the Red Sox had beaten the Card. inals to 3 to gain a one game ad- vantage, All but those eight arrived last night.
 Riding the rails along with the entire Cardinal club were Boston pitchers Tex Hughson, Jim Basby Bill Zuber and Charley Wagner catcher Hal Wagner, second base man Bobby Doetr, whose rnigraine headache kept him out of yesterdays game, Don Gutteridge, who took Doerr's place and was a key man in that fifth game triumph, and reserve third baset11an Glenn (Rip) Russell
 Not Sure of Hurler
 While Dyer was definite about Brecheen, Cronin refused to be pinned down on his sixth game hur- Ter. Celebrating his 40th birthday and he didn't want any better pres ent than his club gave yesterday even if 1t was a day early-he just kept saying Harris or Ferriss."
 For the fifth game he had kept saying "Dobson or Harris" and husky Joe got the call and responded with a four hitter that would have resulted in a shutout except for three errors, two of them by Johnny Pesky, leading to the three tinearted Cardinal runs.
 But because Sportsman's Park favors left handed pitchers, Harris who lost the second game to Bre- cheen although he pitched good ball was expected to get the nod. That would give Ferriss, the to winner of the third game, an additional two days rest in event the seventh con- test is necessary.
 Either way" jovial Joe said, I've expect to wind it up. I'm not even thinking about seventh game
 Returned FavOrites Again
 But should the Series go the limit as 1t did last year when the Detroit Tigers beat the Chicago Cubs it looked like it would be Murry Dick son for the Cards and either Ferriss, If he doesn't go in tomorrow's game, or big Tex Hughson for the Bo-Sox.
 By whining the fifth game, the Red Sox became the favorites to win the series, just as they were when the classic started. The Cards found themselves in the favorites role for only "A hours, taking over as choices when they won that baseball history making fourth game 12 to 3. But they soon slipped back to the status of under-dogs after Dobson got through with them yesterday.
 The 29-year-old former staff sergeant, whose sinking curve and fast balls had gained him 14 vic- tories against only six defeats this season, suddenly gained the effec- tiveriess he displayed during the early part of the American League pen nant race when Cronin picked him over Harris for the fifth game.
 For he stilled those Cardinal bats, which only the day before had rat- tied 20 hits to tie a series record for most blows in one game, with four megar hits and would have coasted except for the faulty fielding of his mates. But he was even good enough to overcome those miscues with his sinking stuff cooling off those ted-hot bats of the Redbirds.
 Clinches Goat HOnOrs It didn't mean too much when Pesky made his second error in the ninth inning and clinched series goat" hUnors A wild throw by Marty Marion, the MT. Shrotstop of the Trojans, led to two Red Sox runs in the seventh after they were lead ing 4 to i and didn't make those two Cardinal runs In the ninth too Harry Walker, who got two of the four hits Dobson yield ed home those two runs for which Pesky was responsible with only one out. But Dobson still had enough of a margin to work on, thanks to Marion, to close the door.
 In the end 1t was Cronin's shock troops who accounted for the tri- unps. Gutteridge, who led the St. Louis Browns to their only penhaht two years ago; Leon Culberson, who hit the only home run of the contest and the fifth of the series, tour of them being by the Bosox rl atS
