Sport Parade
By Oscar Fraley
(United Press Sporta Writer)
New York, May 10 UP) The
slow-starting St. Louis Cardinals
were being written off the Na
tional league pennant books to
day as the "nine old men of base
ball" but slugging Stan Musial
scoffed at reports that one of
the game's grandest dynasties
was ended.,
They are saying around the
league that age has rusted away
the team's brilliance, that the
club is coming apart at the
seams and that this season defi
nitely will mark the end of an
era for the Redbirds.
The talk is having its effect
on Manager Eddie Dyer, even
tVimiah ho nrnfpcapQ thnt bp
piever reads newspapers." Dyer
'IM several times has been on tne
M Vii-ehnll vninr, nut anrl tHiQ
conversation of catastrophe can't
make him feel any more secure.
Oldest Is S3
But Musial, the club's big gun,
will have none of it.
"Old men?" he laughed. "Well,
Enos Slaughter is only 33 and
he's the oldest of the lot. And
I'd like to have nine 'old men'
just like him."
Running over the roster of the
regulars emphasizes Musial's
contention. Marty Marion and
the arm-ailing Whitey Kurowskl
are only 31; Ron Northey is 29;
Musial and Erv Dusak are 28;
Red Schoendienst and Del Rice
are 26, and Joe Garagiola is only
22.
Musial, one of the game's gau
diest hitters, blames himself for
the club's slow getaway this sea
son. Not HI! (Ins;
"I'm not hitting," he said. "If I
do, we'll be in there. My timing
has been off and I'm hitting at
bad balls but I'm starting to get
my eye."
Musial at the moment is hit
ting .269. For the majority of ball
players that would be a satisfac
tory average. But not for Stan
the man. Three times he has
been batting champ with aver
ages of .357, .365 and .376, the
latter figure leading both leagues
last season. He has had two
"bad" years since becoming a
regular in 1942 hitting "only"
315 in 1942 and .312 in 1947.
V "Wp nppH nitohlne." Musial ad
it mitted, "but I haven't seen any
' Ming this season I don't think we
'can beat. The Giants are getting
good pitching at the moment.
Brooklyn hasn't made any
changes. And, well, I think we
are bound to improve."

BEND,
Dodgers Using
Young Players,
Losing Games
By Carl Lundqulst
(United Prena Sporta Writer)
New York, May 10 U Does
Branch Rickey have so many po
tentially good young players he
has to look at and perhaps to
peddle or option that he can't
always give his established stars
their rightful spot in the Brook
lyn lineup?
The Dodgers still have 34 play
ers on their rosier and they must
trim that number to 25 before
May 15, the deadline for getting
down to the limit After that they
have one month until June 15 in
which they still can trade or sell
players to other clubs in the Na
tional league.
So the pressing problem for
Manager Burt Shotton is to use
as many of his kid players as
possible, and if they aren't of
major league caliber yet, then
send them down to one of the
various Dodger farm clubs.
9 Games Lost
Thus far this season the Dodg
ers have lost nine games and
four of these defeats have come
in games where rookie pitchers
were started and given a good
going over by the opposition.
In no case has a rookie starter
been able to complete a game.
Jack Banta has been batted out
twice and Morris Martin, Paul
Minner, and Clarence Podbielan
once each, while Johnny Van
Cuyk has been batted freely in
relief.
Yesterday, it was Podbielan's
time for an airing and he
prompted the most explosive bat
ting display of the season bv the
Cardinals. They got 15 hits in
a 14 to 5 rout that dropped
urooKiyn to tmrd place.
The pace-setting Giants clicked
off their seventh straight victory.

homers.

Klamath Fails
League Winner
(By United Press)
The neck and neck race be
tween Santa Rosa and Pittsburgh
today gave the Diamonds the
edge for the far west league
flag.
Batting in 10 runs in the first
three innings, the Diamonds
measured the Vallejo Chiefs, 13
to 4, in last night's circuit play.
At tne same time, the Kiamatn
Falls Gems trounced Santa Rosa.

A five-run Klamath Falls rally
in the filth inning highlighted
the game.
The Medford Nuggets listed
their 11th straight defeat as they
bowed to a superior Marysville
nine, 8 to 4. The Braves sewed
up the game in the seventh with
four unearned runs on three
walks, one single and two er
rors after two were out.

Mort Cooper
Released by
Chicago Cubs
New York, May 10 U'i Big.
burly Mort Cooper thoughtfully
fingered his release from the Chi
cago Cubs today and blurted,
"Through? You betcha life I'm
not through. I've got more guts
man mat."
His apple-cheeks were more
flushed than usual. There was a
tense quickness about his voice,
normally a lazy Missouri drawl.
His eyes were narrowed with de
termination.
"I know I can still pitch as good
as ever. I want to go some place,
I can't tell you where . . . and I
want to work my arm back in
shape."
Once a member of baseball's
most famous brother battery, the
Natioanl league's most valuable
player in 1942, a 20-game winner
for three years, Cooper had failed
on the first leg of his comeback
trail. He lasted less than a third
of an inning in his only start of
tne season a game against
Brooklyn Saturday in which he
gave a walk, a wild pitch, a single
and a home run to the only men
who faced him.
The Cubs last night gave him
his release.
