The Cavalcade of Sports is on the air.

Gillette presents the World Series.

From Sportsman's Park in St. Louis, we bring you a word picture and play-by-play report of the fourth

and thus far most crucial game in the 1944 baseball championship series.

Good afternoon, everyone. This is Don Dunphy speaking for Bill Corum and Bill Slater.

This is the sixth consecutive year that the Gillette Safety Razor company has broadcast

the World Series.

For your further enjoyment throughout the year, it brings you spot broadcasts of other

outstanding sports events such as the Kentucky Derby, All-Star baseball game, and

football ball games, plus a top flight boxing show over many of these same stations every

Friday night.

Well, as you know by now, the St. Louis Browns, managed by Luke Sewell, are in the driver's

seat, leading by two games to one.

But the men of Billy Southworth, the Cardinals, are out to even things up this afternoon.

Today it's going to be left-handed Harry Brackeen, who has won 16 and lost five during the regular campaign for the Cardinals,

and right-handed Sigmund Jack Jack Cookie, J-A-K-I, who had a mark of 13 victories and nine defeats in the regular

campaign in the American League for the Browns. Recapping for a moment the three previous games,

the Brownies moved out in front on Wednesday, taking the first game by a score of two to one,

with Denny Galehouse, the winning pitcher, and Mort Cooper of the Cardinals, the loser. The second contest found the Cardinals, evening things up, also a one-run victory, the Cardinals three, the Browns two, with Sylvester Blix Donnelly coming in in relief, and what a relief he was to Billy Southworth, and Bob Moncriep losing for the Browns, though pitching gamely.

Yesterday, the Browning hitting asserted itself,

and Jack Kramer was supreme on the mound as he struck out ten of the Redbirds

and allowed them no earned runs as the Browns won out six to two.
