STENGEL OLD ENOUGH St. Louis, Mo. -HJPD- Satchel Paige, the ageless Negro baseball pitcher, said Wednes day he plans to see Manager Casey Stengel about a job with the New York Mets Paige said he would like to get back in the major leagues and reckoned thaf Stengel was the only one around old enough to manage him. Stan Musial Stars As Cardinals Spoil Debut of NY Mets By FRED DOWN UPI Sports Writer Casey Stengel is 0-1 and the Houston Colt .45s are 2-0 but baseball purists viewing the National league needn't des pair because Stan Musial is 3-for-3. The Colt .45s, surprise team of the opening hours of the NL's first 162-game schedule, made it two victories in a row Wednesday night with a 2-0 decision over the Chicago Cubs. Houston thus shares first place for a second straight day - a tall tale even for Texas folk. It was a disappointing night for 71-year old Stengel and his infant New York Mets, how ever, as the St. Louis Cardi nals pounded out an 11-4 tri umph featured by Musial's perfect night and achievement of another league mark. Stan the Man had two singles and a double in three tries and the run he scored enabled him to tie Mel Ott's record of 1,859 runs scored in the NL. Stengel, managing his first game in the NL since 1943 when he piloted Boston, saw his Mets commit three errors and waste homers by Gil Hodges and Charlie Neal. Hodges' homer lifted his life time total to 362, edging him past Joe DiMaggio to No. 11 on the all-time list. The San Francisco Giants defeated the Milwaukee OS ME MOSlT' WE'WE SIPEfJlT ON We have five Dodge trucks, from one to four years old.They average 10,000 miles a year each.

PARSONS MOTORS, 315 E. 5th, Medford Braves. 3-1, and the Los An geles Dodgers beat the Cin cinnati Reds, 6-2, in other NL games while the Minnesota Twins shut out the Kansas City A's, 8-0, and the Boston Red Sox scored a 4-0 12-inning triump over the Cleveland In dians in American league games. Hal Smith's two-run single in the first inning produced all the Colt .45s' runs and Woodeshick limited the Cubs to eight hits until he tired in the ninth. Then Dick Farrell came in to pitch out of a two on, none-out jam and clinch the win. Glen Hobbie was the loser. Larry Jackson yielded eight hits and four walks but the Mets' popgun hitters couldn't put over a crushing blow at the right time while the Cardi nals flailed away at three New York pitchers for 16 hits. Julian Javier had four hits and Curt Flood, Bill White and Gene Oliver two each in support of Musial's three blows. Second To Cobb Musial, eager to make what may be his last season a memorable one, contributed run-producing hits to two Car dinal rallies. The great Cardi nal star now ranks behind only. Ty Cobb's 2,244 runs on the all-time list. Willie Mays hit his second homer in as many games and Billy O'Dell pitched a four hitter for the Giants, who won their second straight game.
