Curt Simmons will duel Jim Bouton in St. Louis today as the Cardinals try to wrap up the World Series in six games.
Simmons, a 35-year-old lefthander, pitched Saturday in New York and allowed only one run in eight innings before being lifted for a pinch hitter. Bouton went all the way in that one, giving up one run and winning the game on Mickey Mantle's home run in the ninth.
Today's contest will be televised on channel 4 and broadcast on WEZE, 1260, beginning at 1:45 p.m. The Cards are 19-10 favorites to win the game--and their first world championship since 1946.
