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

Referee - Gene Detton
Matches under supervision of Roseburg Wrestling Comm.
FIRST MATCH STARTS 8:30 P.M.
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.
Even Poholsky got into the hit-

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.
