change whatever in the St Louis batting order which includes three lefthanded batters Stan Muaial Harry Walker and Ray Sanders McCarthy reticent as ever gave no explanation of his reason for choosing Russo but it appeared that Spud Chandler needed another day of rest Russo despite his record has convinced McCarthy he has recovered from hia arm ailment which was caused by a sinus condition There

Lanier said he felt fine and was ready to go At the park today Southworth sent hia squad through an intensive workout which included everything in baseball Afterwards the Cardinals held a lengthy meeting in their clubhouse The Yankees whipped through a routine hitting and field drill dressed and returned to their hotel without any more ado than would occur at a spring training workout Both teams appeared confident but the Cardinals must win Sunday to keep from falling almost hopelessly behind Park which will hold only half the crowd that packed Yankee Stadium for each of the three
