APItIL 20. 11154 Steal Wav Mdi Base Running Returns By BEN 1'HLKGAR AP Sporti Writer , The St. Louis Cardinals lire Moiling their way back 'nto the National League pennant picture. Running bases with an abandon no Redblrd team has shown since the last St. Louis flag winner in 1946, Manager Eddie Stanky's ciub has moved from dead last at the sun to within a game of the top. In 12 games the Cards have swiped 14 bases. They need only half a dosen more to equal their total for the entire 1953 season. Winning Cardinal teams almost iilways have been running teams. One of the greatest was the 1931 aggregation. That was the year Pi ankle F r I s c h, the Pordham Flash, led the club with 2 steals, and Pepper Martin virtually stole the World Series away from the Philadelphia Athletics with his li"ad-flrst belly slides. LEAN YEARS The 1931 Cardinals stole 11 bases. The 1946 pennant, winners, last National League team to win the World Series, stole 58. But look at the totals for some of the lean years M to M'- ln 1M' only 17 in 1949, 23 In 1950. JO in 1951 and S3 ln 1953.' In every In stance these figures placed St. Louis last or next to last in the league in bases stolen. Stanky claims there is no radi cal difference between the base lunnlng tactics o.' the 1954 ouUit and last year's club. "We're Just trying a few things and they're working," he said. Nevertheless, the figures ( are 'doubly interesting In that 10 dif ferent, players on the team hate stolen bases, including one pitcher Harvey Haddlx. DIRECTLY , , A steal figured directly ln the result of yesterday's Cardinal came when ' the Redblrds edged Brooklvn 6-5 in 10 innings. Bonus baby Dick Schofield, running for Ray Jablonski, who had walked with two out, stole second on pit cher Jim Hughes and rode home on Steve Bilko's single, the second hit of the season for the massive fcrst baseman. The defeat. Brookl's second In a row in St. Louis, dumped the Dodgers into a . third-place tie. They went West over the weekend hi first place. The Cincinnati Red legs, who replaced the Dodgers at the top on Tuesday, stayed there with an 8-4 verdict over the Pitts burgh Pirates, and the New York Giants moved Into a tie with Brooklyn by nipping Milwaukee 3-1. BAD WEATHER '" ' Rain and bad weather caused the ether five scheduled .games! to be postponed. ' ' Spectacular relief pitching by lit t'c Jackie : Collum preserved the Cincinnati victory alter the Reds rallied for five runs to the third Inning to gain a 7-4 lead. Collum stopped the Pirates on one hit through the last 6 1-3 innings after they had battered starter Fred Bacsewskl for nine ln the first 2 2-3. -' ' . Ruben Gomez pitched six shut out Innings and drove in the lirst New York run at Milwaukee be fore leaving the game with a wrenched back after running the bases ln the seventh. Al Dark doubled with the bases loaded, also In the seventh, for the other two New York runs. Gomes' Injury was not considered serious. BATTING Stan Musial, St. Louis Cardinals Collected two singles and a double, driving in two runs, as he raised his average to .356 n the St. Louis victory over Brooklyn. 6-5 in 10 Innings. ' CASEY AND HIS FELLAS Manaqer Casey Stengel tries to remember the names of the three first basemen, who started the season in Yankee livery. Left to right are Bill Skowron, Joe Collins end Eddie Robinson.

Wednesday. The Wildcats had to capltatee while they had a chance, because Trojan pitcher. Dino Reglnato pitched a tight five hitter for the losers. The Cats bunched them enough for their five runs, which started crossing the plate ln the Initial inning. The airplane has beaten the error in the first frame, and Don other furlong, but. of course. that's a large order. Determine has the speed to keep out of traffic at the first turn. He is being faulted because of his lack of stature, but that makes him all the more nimble and he has demonstrated that he quickly gets back into the swing when knocked oft stride.
