Cardinals Take 1-Game Lead In National Loop Race . Cin the St. Louis Cardinal! keep . up their tremendous hitting long ! enough for Eddie Stanky to find out if he finally has solved his pitching problems? If they can, the skin-tight Na 1 tlonal League pennant race may soon start coming apart at the seams. , . . The Cardinals arrived home from the East today, a game and a half in front of the nearest of the closely bunched contenders. On the road they won 9 of 14 games, including a 17-4 runaway at Pitta burgh last night. Of even more importance to the Cards was the blossoming of Tom Ted asks: "KINK IN YOUR LINC?" laaish today, repair. bodV kinks la yaur favorite "Lincoln" Brini your car to us for cemplite body It's not expaniiva.

Poholsky as a starting pitcher. The big right-hander was used twice on the trip. He lost a 1-0 heartbreaker in Brooklyn, where he allowed only three hits. And he went the dis tance again last night against the last-place Pirates. St. Louis pitching, the club's biggest question mark from Hie very start of spring training, has left a lot to be desired. Manager Stanky has been using Harvey Haddix, Gerry Staley and Vic Raschi. Then he closes his eyes, pulls a name out of the hat and hopes. At one time or another every body except Raschi, the $75,000 ac quisition from the New York Yan kees, has been blasted. Seven times the Cardinals' rivals have scored 10 or more runs. No wonder Poholsky, fresh from two years in the Army, looks good. While the pitching has been shaky, the hitting has been amaz ing. The team batting average is .295 and five of the regulars are over .300, topped by Ray JablonskI at .374 and Stan Musial at ,367, top men in the league.

Frl, Moy 21, 1954 The News-Review, Rowburg, Of. 7 11 Horses Set For Preakncss Saturday By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS .. BALTIMORE (A "Saturday doubtful" said the forecaster about the weather and it applied very well to tomorrow's Preakness, in which 11 young horses will whirl around old Pimlico for $140,150 in prize money. Although the supposedly well in formed lean heavily toward either Robert S. Lytlc's Correlation or Hasty House Farm's Hasty Road as the likely winner, this is a year so far in which it's a wide-open race for the best 3-year-old. It began when such highly touted prospects as Turn To and Porter house were put out of .action with injuries early. Then Determine came alon,: to win the May 1 Kentucky Derby, first of the tri-plo-crown classics which bear heavily on selection of the 3-year-old champ. Determine's owner, Andy Crevalin, has left the door open now by keeping him out of the Preakness, saying he didn't want "to press his luck." So tomorrow's winner of the 78th Preakness will be a strong claim ant to the year's honor until the Belmont, last leg of the triple crown on June 12. Correlation probably will be made the 8-5 betting favorite of the expected crowd of 35,000 to morrow. This is despite his dis appointing sixth in the Derby in the same role. Hasty Road was second in the Derby. But since then. Correlation headed off Hasty Road in the Preakness Prep Mon day. Expectations also are likely to be messed up if the rain of yes terday should be repeated Satur day. No one speaking for the. 11 entries expressed concern over a slow track, but several admitted they weren't sure how their charges would react to one. Eddie Naloy, trainer of Maine Chance Farm's Jet Action, in fact, hoped the rain would keep up. "I know we can run in it," he said.
