It's been 10 years since the
last New York st. Louis show
down in a World Series. This
vulnerable fortress of convic-
ton thinks'a rematch is due
in '62. Come next October, the
way it looks from here, it will
be the Yankees versus the
Cardinals.
| Roger Maris probably won t
hit 81 home runs again. Nor
will Whitley Ford post any 25-4
pitching record. But the
Yankees, who haven't clinched
an American League pennant
since last September II. have
got to win or show exceptional
cause why they didn't.
Picking the Cardinals is more
of gamble. 1t involves chooS-
ing a team that ran fifth, 13
games back, but in dealing with
the National League a deficit
of this sort comes under the
heading of trivia. You put the
names of five or six clubs in
a hat, stir with a stick, and
pull out a name.
This could be the Cards turn,
good pitching aside, if only be-
cause four different clubs have
won in the last four MI sea-
sons and none was st. Louis.
There was Milwaukee in SO,

down the homestretch but too
late. However, the Redbirds'
strong showing this spring sug-
gestS that perhaps they are
ready to show a little early
foot.
Not that it necessarily was
Solly Hemus' fault, but the
Cards did better last year after
Solly was fired and Johnny
Keane was promoted from
coach to manager. In the last
half of the campaign they
played the best ball in the MI
(47-33). They had the best
club earned-run average over
a season in which Ernie Broglio
(21-game winner in 800
slumped to 9-12 and in which
Larry jackson missed starting
rotation for weeks because of
a fractured jaw.

The Cards had the second
best team batting average in
81 but didn't hit the long ball.
If it's distance batting that's
wanted the Giants are recon-
mended because of Orlando

Reds remain dangerous despite

here last year but not this
