Cards Slide
Past Brooks
In 3-2 Game
By JOE REICHI.ER
AMCK-tated Prmu Sport Writer
The St. Louis Cardinals are up
to their old tricks again. Next to
beating the Dodgers, the Kedbirds
get the greatest delight out of
making the experts look foolish.
Remember those pre-season re
ports on the Cards? Too old. No
reserves. A one-man ball club.
Tsk. tsk. Is our face red.
With a lineup shot as full of
holes as a slab of Swiss cheese,
the scrappy St. l-ouii gang nas
managed to win five of its last
six games. They capped it off
last night with a thrilling victory
over their hated rivals, the Brook
lyn Dodgers.
Brooklyn Led
The score was 3-2. Until the last
half of the ninth, Brooklyn was
in front, 2-0. Starter Joe Hattcn
had held the Redbirds to three
hits up to that point
Hatten began the last inning
by walking Chuck Diering. Eiior
Slaughter singled Diering to sec
ond. Marty Marion, making his
first appearance of the season,
batted for Steve liiiko and faned.
Eddie Kazak, another pinch hit
ter, lined out. One more out to go
and the Dodger lefthander would
own two straight shutouts. But it
never came.
Red Schoendienst singled, scor
ing Diering. That was all for Hat
ten. Another pinch hitter, Bill
Howerton, faced Willard Rams
dell. Howerton singled to right
scoring Slaughter with the tying
run as Schoendienst raced to third.
Wild Pitch Costly.
A wild pitch by Ramsdell al
lowed Schoendienst to cross the
plate with the winning run. Hat-
ten was charged with the loss.
Cloyd Boyer. who has taxr
over the ailing Ted Wilks' relief
chores, was the winning pitcher.
He relieved starter Max Lanier
in the ninth and kept the Dodgers
away from the plate in the one
inning he worked.
the victory moved the Cards
into a virtual tie for second place,
a game and a half behind the
front-running Dodgers.
It was the only game n Lived
In the National league. All other
teams were idle, resting up for
their intersectional classes. There
was no action in the Amerimn
league. Philadelphia and Boston,
only clubs scheduled, were foiled
by the weather. A steady Boston
drizzle decided matters for them.

Musial of the St. Louis Cardinals
and Cleveland's sharp-hitting Dale
Mitchell top the major, leagues in
batting.
Musial, who once led a minor
league in pitching, has shaken the
enigma of a stow start, and is a
lusty first in the National league
with a .448 batting average.
Mitchell, a six-foot-one Oklaho
man. is the No. 1 man in the
American league with a .408 mark.
Figures, based on 25 times at bat,

Mitchell, with 13 hits in 32 trips,
holds a 17-point edge on Detroit's
Johnny Groth, runnerup at .389.
Hank Majeski of Chicago is next
with .3H5, followed by New York's
diminutive Phil Rizzuto at .371. Al
Zarilla, Boston outfielder, is a
shade behind with .370.
In the National, Musial hit safely
13 times in 29 tries. New York's
Alvin Dark, the transplanted Bos
ton shortstop, is hitting at a .423
' pace. He s the only one ot the live
i vegulars involved in the big winter
I eal among the top 10 hitters.
Gil Hodges of Brooklyn rounds
out the ".400 club" with a 406
mark. Willie (Puddin' Head) Jones
is fourth with .365 and Pittsburgh's
Johnny Hopp fifth with .351.
Jones is the power man. He leads
with most hits, 19, runs batted in,
14, and is tied with Roy Campen'dla
of Brooklyn and Wally Westlake of
Pittsburgh with four home runs.

the Seattle Rainiers take the field
tonight for the first game of their
home stand with Sacramento, the
Pacific Coast league entry will
be presented with a floral horse
shoe. But it won't read: "Rest in
Peace."
Nope, Seattle fans haven't given
up on their cellar-dwelling club
yet. They're going to try a littlo
psychology first, working on the
principle that a rousing welcome
might be just the tonic needed to
life them from their slump.
So tonight there'll be two bands,
several large blocs of fans in
special sections and presentation
of floral pieces.
Arrangements are being handled

'Crank' Causes
Spence To Miss
Angels' Contest
By JIM HUBBART
Associated Press Sports Writer
Baseball patrons may find sol
ace in the assurance that the Pa
cific Coast league, like thorough
bred racing, still receives plain
clothes police protection against
nefarious gambling elements.
League President Clarence
(Pants) Rowland gave this guar
antee in Los Angeles yesterday as
the upshot of a mysterious tele
phone call which caused Stan
Spence of the Angels to miss the
second game of Sunday's double
header at Wrigley field.
No Evidence
Rowland said his gumshoes found
no evidence that gamblers had
tried to effect a coup by getting
the long hitting Spence out of the
game with Hollywood.
He added, however, that his
office will prevent such future
shenanigans by forbidding players
to receive phone calls during or
immediately before games.
"The call apparently was put
through by a drunk or a nut,"
Rowland observed.
Spence was summoned to the
Angel offices atop the ballpark for
"an emergency long distance
call." How was it with Stan, the
caller asked. You gonna hit a
homer in the second game, too,
Stan? Are the Angels gonna win?
Anqels Do Win
The Angels won, all right, with
out Spence. Cece Garriott re
placed him in the lineup. And the
victory dropped Hollywood out of
first place.
Los Angeles takes on third place
San Francisco tonight in the opener
of a seven game series at Seals
stadium. Spence will be there.
San Diego, now leading the pack
by 1A games, invades Portland
for a week of hostilities with the
ever dangerous Beavers, while
Seattle, the cellar club, returns
home after a disastrous road cam
paign to play host to seventh place
Sacramento.
League statistician Dave Row
painstakingly combed the archives
yesterday and found that Seattle
has posted the worst early season
record in PCL history, officially.
The Rainiers have won only six
out of 31 games.
Hollywood's Stars entertain Oak
land in a bid to regain the lead
they lost over the weekend.
