Braves Hand Forlorn
Cards Another Defeat
By MILTON RICHMAN
United Press Sports Writer
The once-Droud St. Louis
Cardinals, now hopelessly bog
eed down deep in seventh place
face their worst finish in 36
years.
Not since 1919 have the Car
dinals wound up as low as sev
enth but they don't promise to
wind up any higher this year the
wav they are performing now.
Thursday night's 5-3 defeat
at the hands of Milwaukee was
the 18th setback in the last 27
games for the forlorn Cardinals
who have watched every club
in the National League, except
Pittsburgh, pass them by. Odd
ly, it was Branch Rickey, cur
rent general manager of the
Pirates, who managed the last
Cardinal team to finish seventh.
Cardinal owner Gussie Busch
has indicated there will be
"major turnover" in the club
this winter but opposing hitters
are getting in their licks against
the present St. Louis pitchers
while they can.
Rookie Chuck Tanner and Bill
Bruton of the Braves each con
nected for homers against loser
Larry Jackson Thursday night,
making a total of 147 home runs
highest in the league that

The Coqtiille series will be
Medford's last home games this
season and will wind up con
ference action. Therefore, the
Studs. will be out to make a good
final appearance before local
fans as well as-win games that
can keep them out of the cellar
and possibly improve on their
present sixth place standing.
Coquille has not been quite
so potent lately as it was early
in the season but the Studs still
will have to p.lay top ball if
they have any hope of subduing
the coast team. The Loggers al
ready boast three victories over
the Cheney club this season.
Pitchers for the Loggers will
be chosen from among Alex Pa
lica, Bill Pilgram, Jim Lehl and
Bob Mallott. Catcher will be
Garner or Roy Harrington. Dave
Douglass is the first baseman
and also does some pitching.
Other probable infielders are
Al Forkner, second base; Har
rington or Villeascusa, third, and
Tex Kirkendall, shortstop.
Outfielders
Outfielders may be chosen
from Pat Patterson, Bob Moore,
Jim Rowell and Palica. Mallott
is a general purpose man and
has played shortstop and caught
for the Loggers.
For the Studs Dick Wooton
may handle the catching with
Cooney at first, Pack Fasset at
second and Derald Wopton or
Ed McCullough at third and Bob
Selsor at short. Outfielders will
be picked from among Derald
Wooton, McCullough, Maddox,
Larry Bigham, Ron Maurer and
Bill McLean.

ing this year. Southpaw Warren
Spahn went the route for the sec
ond time in four days to register
his 12th victory. He beat the
Cards, 12-1, in the opening game
of the series Monday.
Redlegs Nip Cubs
Cincinnati regained fifth place
by nipping Chicago, 2-1, on a
smooth six-hit pitching effort by
Art Fowler. The Redlegs put
together singles by Gus Bell,
Chuck Harmon,, Ricky Bridges
and Roy McMillian for their
runs in the sixth off Paul Min
ner. Dee Fondy singled home
the only Cub run in the eighth.
The league-leading Dodgers,
who had lost two games in a
row to the Giants, jumped on
them for an 8-5 victory despite
homers by Whitey Lockman and
Sid Gordon. Brooklyn knocked
out Jim Hearn with a three-run
burst in the opening frame, went
ahead 5-0 when Don Hoak slam
med a two-run homer in the sec
ond inning and then added three
more runs with the help of Wil
lie Mays' three base error in
the fourth. Reliever Don Bes
sent was credited with his fifth
victory as the Dodgers remained
14 games ahead of the second
place Braves.
The Phillies and Pirates were
not scheduled.
Rained out of their scheduled
game with the Red Sox, the idle
Yankees stayed one game in
front in the American League
race when the second -place
White Sox split a doubleheader
with the Athletics. .
Chicago Splits With A's
The White Sox went back into
first place temporarily when
they beat Kansas City, 6-2, in
the opener, but then dropped
back into second place by losing
the nightcap, 5-3. Virgil Trucks
of the White Sox pitched two
hit ball over the first five in
nings of the first game but re
tired in favor of Dixie Howell
shortly after being hit on the
right knee by a line drive off
the bat of Harry Simpson in the
sixth. In the second game, Arnie
Portocarrero limited the White
Sox to six hits for his fourth
victory. Vic Power and Sherm
Lollar hit hpmers.
In the only other game sched
uled, the Indians defeated the
Tigers, 5-3, to snap a three-game
losing streak and climb within
three percentage points of the
White Sox. Southpaw' Herb
Score, the major league strike
out leader, fanned 13 batters in
increasing his season total to
192. Two errors in the eighth
inning helped the Indians rally
for four runs.
