Over Desperate Champs Pin Hopes On Ruffing Beazley Choice Of Foes By GAYLE TALBOT NEW YORK Oct 5 MPU-The mighty Yankees looked beaten and demoralized and out of pitchers as they went into the fifth game of the 1942 World Series today against the St Louis Card Inals one of the most under-rated clubs ever to fight its way into the classic Defeated twice running in their home park by a team they had confidently expected to trounce Jittery and crippled and feuding 4 with the umpires the proud Bombers looked ready for the kill A vast majority of those who had witnessed the series to this noint expected the wild-running Cards to win again today and close out the championship four games to one Cards Have It When they rallied twice in the closing innings to slug out a 9 to 6 victory in yesterday's tussle before a record series throng of 69902 at Yankee Stadium the daring young men from the West left little doubt in mind that they had what it took The previous day they had done it with pitching when their lefty Ernie- White blanked the old champions 2 to 0 the first whitewashing administered to a Yankee team in a world series since 1926 Yesterday the Cards said it with their bats and for the second time in the series shook off a crushing home run by the Charley Keller to break a resultant tie and come on to win Everyone Was much impressed 'with the Cardinals The locals 1 had to be shown that a crowd of comparative youngsters could come in and practically run the Yankees right out of the stadium and the lads from Missouri obliged them In the subways and in the public houses men wpre declaring solemnly that the Cardinals might one of truly great teams As Groggy As Yanks The experts themselves slightly groggy were not disposed to argue very much about it Practically all of them had thought the Yankees would win the series but they had to admit they seldom had seen such baseball played as the Cardinals had poured into the Yanks since they suddenly found themselves in the ninth inning of the opening game at St Louis and pounded Red Ruffing from the mound They agreed that the Yankees were in semi-desperate straits for pitching when Manager Joe McCarthy was forced to call upon the 37-year-old Ruffing again today Red has been strictly a once-a-week flinger the past season and he faced the Cards today With Jess than his normal rest Despite rtlie brilliance of his first game effort when he set a World Series record by holding the Cardinals hitless for the first seven and two-third innings the odds appeared to be against Red's Steeming the youngsters again jAj for Manager Billy South-I Tjrth he was in position to come back with Johnny Beazley the strong-armed kid from Nashville Tenn who brazened out threat after threat to subdue the Yanks in the second game Thus it was winner against winner but the 23-year-old Beazley with lightning in his fast ball and the strength 'to pitch all day looked a better bet than Ruffing Yanks Backs Against Wall But And 6 Babe Hope On Experts Grid Season Lack Of Reserves And Use Of Freshmen Given Blame For Many Upsets By HAROLD CLAASSEN NEW YORK Oct 5 OW As subtle as a dollar alarm clock is the impression that this

Methodist the next And the Gophers followed their lopsided win by lasing to the Iowa Preflight Cadets 7 to 6 The lack of consistency was predicted by numerous coaches as the distinguished mark of the
