Newspaper Page TextEIGHT MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Wednesday, Mar 18, 195S Rivals Shudder Before Card Tossers; Jackson Blanks Brooklyn Nine By MILTON RICKMAN - United Press Sports Writer There was a time when Eddie Stanky would look at his St. Louis Cardinals' pitching statf and shudder, but today things have changed it's the oppos ing clubs who look at it and shudder. Once considered just a bunch of humpties, the Cardinal pitch ers suddenly have blossomed into a staff of world-beaters with an amazing record of only one run allowed in the. last four games. - Rookie Larry Jackson, a 23-year-old right-hander, pitched the Cardinals, 3-0 Tuesday night. Jackson scattered 10 .'"hits in handing the Dodgers their first whitewashing of the season and boosting the Cards into third place in the National league. Backed by an attack that in cluded homers by Red Schoen dienst and Ken Boyer, Jackson was the second Redbird rookie to hurl a shutout in as many ' days. Rookie southpaw Luis Ar royo blanked Pittsburgh, 6-0 Monday. Joe Nuxhall helped Cincin nati climb into sixth place with a 9-2 victory over the Pirates, who dropped their sixth game in a row. Nuxhall yielded only eight hits in recording his fourth conquest and started the Red legs on their way to victory with a three-run double in the second inning. Milwaukee Beats Giants Milwaukee moved into second place by. beating the Giants, 9-4, as lanky Gene Conley posted his fifth victory. The Braves blasted five . New York pitch ers for 15 hits, Joe Adcock lead ing the way with a homer and three singles. Don Mueller's hit ting streak was snapped at 24 straight games. The game between the Cubs and Phillies was postponed be cause of cold weather. In the American league, south paw Alex Kellner pitched and batted Kansas City to a 1-0 tri umph over 'Washington. Kell ner gave up eight hits in gaining his third victory and collected two of the six hits off loser Mickey McDermott. Ford Shuts Out Chicago Lefty Whitey Ford of the Yankees also- won a 1-0 game against the White Sox even though Chicago out-hit New York seven to four. A sixth in ning streak of wildness by Billy Pierce paved the way for the only run. He walked Mickey Mantle and Yogi Berra, the first two men to face him in the sixth, each on four pitches. Mantle stole third from where he scored on an infield out. The loss left Chicago a game behind Cleveland, which also lost, 10-3, to Boston. Jackie Jen sen hit a three-run homer for the Red Sox and Eddie Joost con nected for one with the bases empty. v Ex-Dodger Erv Palica picked up his second victory for Balti more by beating Detroit, 3-2. One of Palica's former Dodger teammates, Billy Cox, homered off loser Ned Garver, while rookie catcher Hal Smith was credited with two runs batted in.
