The main manager Red Shane Deach, Mayo Smith, and the umpires breaking up now and we're just about ready for things to get started.

Now the Cardinals are breaking out of their dugout.

And they lead in the series one victory to none over the American League champion Detroit Tigers.

Well, Mr. Reese, an old pile of yours thrown out that first ball today.

Yes, I was watching him down there before the game.

I think knowing Medvedic, the way I know him, he probably warmed up before he threw the first

ball out, Ernie because he wanted to make sure he had something on the ball.

Well, the weather, pee-wee, a lot different than it was yesterday,

a little bit on the coolest side, and the clouds have blown away, though.

It looked like we've got a pretty good day.

Well, when I first came out here this morning, I got out here a little bit early.

I know one thing, this raincoat felt real good.

But right now the sun is out.

It's like a beautiful day for a ballgame.

Well, the umpires, it'll be Jim Honnichick, back of the plate, representing the American

League.

Stan Lannis will be stationed at first base, representing the National League.

From the American League at second base, Bill Ketteman,

and the third base umpire will be Doug Harvey from the National League.

Down the line in left will be Bill Haller from the American League,

and down the line in right will be Tom Gorman of the National League umpire

who yesterday worked behind the plate.
