St. Louis Cardinals Remain Calm, Collected And Sure
About Tomorrow's World Series Date With Yanks
By GAYLE TALBOT
ST. LOUIS, Sept. 29.—(AP)—St. Louis remained
extremely calm and collected about the impending world
series as its Cardinals took their final workout today and
the renowned Yankees closed in from the east.
Unless one read the newspapers, there was nothing
to indicate that the two flag winners were due to start
belting each other at Sportsmans Park tomorrow after-
There were no ban-
noon.
ners; no hoarse talk in hotel
lobbies about “our Cards."
In short, the so-called world
series atmosphere of other
years appeared to have ta-
ken a leave of absence.
The hotels were choked, and it
took both a reservation and a
willingness to argue to get any
sort of room. But they say that
is a normal condition these days
and in no way related to base-
ball's banner attraction.
The local explanation of the
seeming apathy toward the series
is that the town wore itself out
rooting the Cardinals' home in
their amazing September drive
to he pennant. The fans need
ed a couple of days' rest before
taking up the big assault on the
Yankees tomorrow AH rserved
seats to the first two games
were sold a week ago.
The Yanks — not riding a spe-
cial train this time, but occupy-
ing uppers and lowers like every-
body else — were due to arrive
shortly before dark tonight, too
late for a workout. They will not
see the field until tomorrow, but
the fact is of no importance be-
cause they played the Browns 11
times at Sportsmans Park this
season and know' its every shad-
ow.
Shouting and carrying' on much
as they have all season, the flam-
buoyant Red Birds held a long
practice session yesterday, then
attended a barn dance in their
honor last night and were sched-
uled to hold another workout to-
day It was obvious that Manag-
er Billy Southworth meant to
keep his scrapping youngsters at
razor-edge He didn't want them
to relax and start thinking too
much about the series.
So far as he naked eye can dis-
cern, little if anything was taken
out of Southworth s hellions by
their sensaational stretch drive,
in which they won 43 out of 52
games. They look full of light,
and every itgular will be at h -
appointed post w hen the sho, t-
ing begins. Captain Terry Moore
still has one leg tightly taped, and
second baseman Jimmy Brow'n
might be a trifle tired, but other-
wise the National league champs
came out of it in remarkably
good shape.
Incidentally, two baseball writ-
ers from the east who have been
travelling with the Cards for a
fortnight are raving about Stan
Musial, the club’s rookie left-
fielder. They declare he has de-
veloped into as great a fielder as
his teamamte. Terry Moore, who
generally is considered the best in
the league, and they predict he
will be a sensation in the play-
off.
Archery-Golf Match
Slated For Thursday
The first archery-golf match in
the history of Borger will be
played Thursday afternoon when
the Chamber of Commerce arch-
ers meet a picked team of Club
Fifty golfers at the Huber Coun-
try club.
The archers, led by Marvin J.
Paul, include Herbert White.
! Howard Beavers. John F 'Jack'
i Allen, A. A. Meredith and Wayne
LeCrone.
In secret practices, the arrow-
flingers are reported to be in top
i shaape and ready to split the
bulls-eye at 150 yards.
Instead of shooting for the cup
: the archery team will aim at a
target on the side of the green. |

By HAROLD V. RATLIFF
Associated Press Sports Editor
Temple's terrific Wildcats meet
Amarillo's roaring Sandies this
week and the crash will be felt
throughout Texas schoolboy foot-
ball.
This is the top battle of a bristl-
ing round of games sending four-
teen unbeaten teams against each
other and pitching eight of the
sixteen districts into the midst of
the championship race.
Temple and Amarillo are
members of the dwindling col-
umn of undefeated, untied out-
fits that today numbers only 29
after three weeks of play.
The Wildcats beat Austin, the
south Texas power, 7-0 last week
while Amarillo was rolling as of
old in punching Abilene from the j
ranks with a 19-7 decision.
Already state championship j
talk comes from Temple, the
opinion being that the Wildcats
have probably mure worry inside

PORTLAND. ORE.. Sept. 29—
fAPv—R. L Mathews of the Uni-
versity of Portland, one of the
far west's oldest football coaches
in point of service, today pro-
pounded a wartime sports code for
his own and perhaps many anoth-
er independent schools:
"Eligibility can go hang itself
on the nearest tree for as Jong as
this world strife lust.' No boy
wanting to play football will be
turned down at Portland, Even
the pay students can play;
Mathews a former University
of Idaho football coach, gave the
amenities of collegiate amateur-
ism the rough side of his tongue:
These boys might be here to-
day and gone tomorrow War
makes for uncertainty It if - a
question of stopping bullet pass-
es today and plain bullets to-
morrow then we don’t want to
set up the barriet that might
deprive some deserving lad of
a chance to enjoy life while he
may.
"Our great country's armed
sei v ices are crying f.-r physically
fit young men and P< rtland does-
n't intend to be slack n, fulfili.ng
its obligations. I've long '.tit. tri-
ed that football provide- the

its varsity eleven, would have n
