ST: LOUIS, Oct. 15.-Today's sew
enth and probably deciding World
Series game was the old story of
an irresistible force meeting an i'm
movable object.
The ST Louis Cardinals never
had lost a seven-game World Series.
And the Boston Red Sox never
had lost series. Period.
Ferriss got the nickname Boo
from a younger brother, who be-
fore he learned to talk would try
to refer to Dave as brother" The
BOO" was as close as he could
come to it. The peculiar spelling
of Dickson's first name, Murry
without the a, came from the last
name of the Dickson family doc
tor who brought the Cardinal
pitcher into the world.
Murry Dickson had been wanting
another try against the Red Sox.

He hit 400 for Fort Lewis, Wash, last season =. Chandler was right, of course, in pointing out that only one-third of the colleges field base ball teams. But organized baseball already has reached an agreement with the high schools although only 5000 out of 26,000 support baseball. It seems most of the protection goes to kids who are too young to interest the professional clubs.

 COMING OFF LINE
Juneau Rofdrians Are in Charge of Affair for
 Juneau Kids

Good news for thousands of boys in the United States, Canada, AL aska, Mexico, and very likely other foreign countries, expecting to par ticipate in the 1946 American National and International Soap Box Derby is contained in the a1i- nouncement made today that 5000 sets of approved disc wheels avail able for the boy built Derby racers have already been produced by a large manufacturer of this equip ment.
 Extrusion or rubber for the tires win begin shortly, it was stated, making available a sufficient quan- tity to permit immediate distribu- tion of an enormous number of wheel sets throughout the nation.
 Official Soap Box Derby rules specify that wheels bearing the official approval of the All-Ameri- can Soap Box Derby, Inc, may be purchased, or that wheels may be obtained from coaster wagons, tri- cycles, baby carriages or other small vehicles in popular use In no case may wheels exceed 12 inch es in diameter. Rules further sti- pulate that the cost of wheels with tires, axles, and bearings shall not exceed $500
 Sponsored by progressive newspa- .pers in cities, and co-sponsored by the Chevrolet Motor Division of General Motors Corporation, and Chevrolet dealers, the All-Ameri- can Soap Box Derby, top sports event for boys aged Il to Is years, is being resumed this year for the first time since 1941, when it was suspended for the duration of the war. National and International fi- nals will be held at Derby Downs, Akron, Ohio, in August.
 Juneau Rotary Club and this newspaper are sponsors for the event in Juneau.
