Whitey Ford (17-6) will pitch the first game for New York, with Ray Sadecki (20-11) starting for the Cardinals. Two regular Card infielders, Ken Boyer and Julian Javier, have leg injuries, but both are expected to start. Yankee shortstop Tony Kubek, however, will miss the series with a sprained wrist...
