MedfordITribunb SL Cards To Blend Youth, Age in 1958 Flag Chase Uhii it the 15th of 16 dispatches on Ihe off-season outlook of each major league team for 1958. writ ten by the manageri of each club.) By FRED HUTCHINSON Manager of the St. Louis Cardinals Written for The United Press Bradenton, Fla. (IP) The Cardinals will make a strong bid for the 1958 pennant be cause we have a powerful blend of age and youth plus the mobility to withstand in juries. mrsi, or course, there is Stan Musial. I'm planning to work Stan down from those 150-odd games he's been play ing every year to about 125 Given those off-days from time to time, I think Stan can have another year like 1957 maybe even lead the league in hitting again. Second, is the nature of the Cardinals' squad. Joe Cun ningham can spell Musial at first and play the outfield. Eddie Kasko can play third and short. So can Al Dark. Ken Boypr did a good job in the outfield last season and can be an all-star third-baseman. Don Blassingame can play short or second. All this adds up to protection against injuries over a season that covers six months of a year. Mizell Key Pitcher And, of course, there's pitching. My four starting pitchers when the season opens will be Sam Jones, Lindy McDaniel, Larry Jack son and Vinegar Bend Mizell. Von McDaniel will be a fifth "spot" starter and by season's . end he may be a regular in the rotation. The key man is Mizell. Vine gar Bend didn't have a good year in 1957 but over the lat ter part of the season he was my best pitcher. The best thing that could happen to the Cardinals in 1958 would be for Mizell to give us the 15-to-20 game season we know he is capable of. Jones, Lindy McDaniel and Jackson are solid workmen and that, of course, brings me to Von. Von astonished me as much as he did the rest of the baseball world last season. He is an amazing workman for an 18-year-old boy. He just can't be one of those one-year wonders because he's got too many pitching skills to be one Dark Goes to Third With those five to head my staff, I'm not worrying about pitching. We figure to open the sea son with an infield of Musial at first base, Blasingame at second, Kasko will prove to be a brilliant shortstop. That gives me Cunningham, Del Ennis, Boyer and Wally Moon in the outfield, meaning a pretty good hand will be sitting down every day. Cun ningham played well at first and in the outfield and he hit .318, including some of the most spectacular pinch hits of the year. We regard him as a solid .300 hitter. The league, of course, is strong and the Braves were strengthened when they got Bob Rush and Don Kaiser from the Cubs. That was a good deal the Braves made but don't let anybody tell you it locks up the pennant. Rush and Kaiser won't make that big a difference. I look for another four or five-team race. It makes me laugh when people suggest the Braves can run away with the flag. Believe me, it can't happen in a league so evenly balanced as the National league. AMERICANS WIN Perth, Australia' (tPl Barry MacKay of Dayton, Ohio and Ron Holmberg of Brooklyn, N.Y., two young United States Davis Cuppers, whipped Frank Taaffe and Barry Lennon of Australia, 6-1, 6-0, 6-1, Sunday in the opening round of the men's doubles in the West Austra lian tennis tourney.

PANCHO EVENS UP Sydney, Australia (IP) Pancho Gonzales evened his 100-game pro tennis series with Lew Hoad at two vic tories each Sunday when he scored a 6-4, 8-10, 6-3, 6-4, triumph over the Australian before a crowd of 10,000 at White City Stadium. Vejar Favored In Video Bout New York (IP! Middle weight Chico Vejar is favored at 8-5 to spoil Mickey Craw ford's New York TV debut tonight with a defeat in their 10-rounder at St. Nicholas arena. Vejar of Stamford, Conn., is favored because of his ex perience and his weight ad vantage over the commercial artist from Detroit. Chico, 26, had 89 fights; 23-year-old Crawford, only 20. Chico is a middleweight who scaled 157V4 for his last bout. Welterweight Crawford registered but 146 for his last start.

Year - end rallying tenden cies carried over into 1958 on smaller volume but the week's total of four sessions involved volume of 13,067, 183 shares. The spurt at the end of 1957 left that year's total slightly above the 1956 figure. The net results for the week were: Industrial average closing at 444.56, up 11.66 points, widest weekly gain since July 5, 1957 and the best since Dec. 6. Railroad average- closing at 103.53, up 6.14 points,-widest weekly gain since Dec. 7, 1956 and best since Nov. 29. Utility average closing at 69.46, up 0.81 points, widest weekly gain since Nov. 22, 1957 and the best since Aug. 6. A total of 1,055 issues out of a total of 1,398 issues trad ed was the biggest gain figure for any week since the one ending May 15, 1948. There were only 225 losses and 118 issues closed unchanged. A total of 30 new 1957-58 highs were set and 209 new lows. The year - end rally reflect ed some improvement in the news picture, including a rise in steel operations, a good re port by Chesapeake & Ohio Railway, and a letup in tax loss selling. Also on the demand side there was a heavy reinvest ment of interest and divi dends received at the year end plus some bear cover ing. The stocks which made the widest gains were those is sues which had been wide losers during the past year. These groups included the railroads, steels, aircrafts, metals, and motors. The latter had one of their best weeks in a long time with General Motors and Ford each more than 2 points higher at the close. Aircrafts responded to sev eral contract awards andj snored gains ranging to more than 4 points. Good business j predictions helped send tne tires up 2 to 5 points in Fire stone. Gains in the rails ranged to more than 4 points in rhpsaneake & Ohio which was the first railroad to re-j port earnings for 1957, a rise j over 1956 which was consid-j ered almost unique among! this group. ctopi inps registered gains . that ran above 3 points in several instances.

The red-hot Nationals scor ed their fourth victory in five starts Sunday when they routed the Philadelphia War riors, 111-96, with the aid of ex-Warrior guard Larry Cos tello who scored 33 points. The win moved the Nationals three games ahead of the third-place New York Knick erbockers and left them 5Vz behind the Celtics. That deficit is big enough, but it's nothing like the nine game deficit the Cincinnati Royals must make up on the St. Louis Hawks in the West ern division. And the Celtics have been skidding slightly with only two victories, in cluding Sunday's 113-100 de cision over the Minneapolis Lakers, to show for their last six games. The Royals snapped the Knickerbocker's seven-game home winning streak with a 101-99 victory and the Hawks shaded the Detroit Pistons, 95-93, in the other games.
