The Red Birds probably can't win the pennant, but they defi nitely don't belong down in sixth or seventh place. When the Cards limped home from the East, Musial was slump ing and Slaughter was so bad he had been benched for a few games. Home cooking and morn ing practice at Sportsman's Park fixed that. In 10 games at St. Louis. Mu sial hit .316, batted in eight runs and smashed three homers. Slaughter did even better with a .352 average for the home stand and nine more RBIs. Both Musial and Slaughter hit home runs last night in the Cards' 13-6 victory over Pittsburgh. It was the third straight win for the rejuvenated Birds and their fourth in tht last five games. Ralph Kiner got his 10th home run of the season for the Pirates to go one up on Johnny Mize. St. Louis' victory in the only National League game moved them into a fifth-place tie with the Phillies.
