Sixth Series Game Today;
Washburn Hurls for Cards
ST. LOUIS (AP) The
World: Series ' returns t o
spacious Busch Stadium for a
'sixth game today with Ray
Washburn trying to close it out
for the St. Louis Cardinals
against Denny McLain, Joe
Sparma or Earl Wilson of the
Detroit Tigers. •
Mayo Smith, manager of the
Tigers, said he would not re
veal the name of his starter
until after he reached the ball
park this morning. The Tigers
had remained in Detroit for a
final drill at Tiger Stadium
yesterday morning bef or e
flying back to St. Louis where
the series will be concluded.
Says He's Ready
McLain, the 31-game winner
in regular season who has lost
twice in duels with Bob Gibson
in the first- and fourth games,
4-0 and 10-1, said he was ready
to try again after taking a shot
of cortisone in his aching right
shoulder Monday.
Leading by three games to
two, the Cardinals need only to
win one of two at home to
become the first National
Leaguers to win two straight
Series since the 1921-22 New
York Giants.

Washburn is the 30-year-old

season and then won the third
game Saturday 7-3, although
knocked out in the sixth inning.
He has made a fine comeback
from shoulder trouble that
kept him on the disabled list
during most of the 1964 season.
If the Cards fail today it will
be up to Gibson to do it again
tomorrow. Gibson already has
won a record seven straight
Series games and holds the all

with 17 strikeouts.

back from 3-1 deficits to win.
They were the Boston Red Sox

Yankees in 1958.
"I haven't made up my

State's booters will be facing
a West Chester squad that is
much improved over the team
that fell last season before the
Lions by a 1-0 score. The Ram;
have a fast team, capable of
scoring quickly and often.
Last year's loss still leaves z
bitter taste in the mouth of thL
West Chester team. The only
score in the game came on a
corner kick by Dave Stock with
only six minutes gone in the
match.

Halfbacks Glen Ditzler and

center-fullback spot, hopes to
add to the goal he scored
against West Virginia.

encountered by McLain and
Wilson.
Wilson started Saturday's
third game but pulled a hams
tring muscle in the back of his
right leg. McLain, who pitched
in last Wenesday's opener and
again Sunday, had complained
of a sore shoulder.
But after throwing for 13
minutes yesterday, McLain
told coach Hal Naragon, "I
haven't been able to do this for
two months."
The 24-year-old right-hander
referred to the way he popped
the ball into Naragon's glove
while warming up.
"It feels real good," McLain
said afterward. "I'm ready to
go tomorrow if he wants me
to."
Wilson threw for 10 minutes
and said his leg felt much bet
ter than it had Monday. He
didn't, however, seem as op
timistic as McLain.
Sparma is the only one of the
three who hasn't had any
ailments, but he also probably
would pitch only if the other
two couldn't.
