When the Cardinals retire the familiar No. 6 this fall it will complete the longest nlavino ca- f repr nf anv major lraonpr with one team. Owns Many Records The lithe, slightly stooped slug ger, with the unique "corkscrew" batting stance, will bow out with complete or partial ownership of 58 major league, National League and All-Star records. The surprise announcement at a Cardinal picnic at the palatial home of club owner August A. Busch Jr. came only a week after Musial said he would not make a statement concerning his retirement until the end of the current season. "Baseball has been my life," Stan told the gathering of play ers, their wives and children, and a few newsmen. "I love baseball. I like nothing better to do than play baseball. "Nothing beats playing in the big leagues and putting on that big league uniform. "I came in with a winner in my first full year with the Card inals in 1942 and I'd like to go out the same way. I've dreamed for a long time of playing one more World Series. I think we still have a chance to do it." Loss To Game ' General manager Bing Devinc called Musial's decision "a great loss to the playing end of the game but a gain to the executive side." "It's a sad thing for baseball, for St. Louis, for Stan's many friends, for Stan's wife and fam ily but a happy one for the Cardinals who need someone like Stan to step into our midst," Dcvine said. Indication that Musial's retire ment was imminent came when his batting average continued to tumble this season. Musial went son I'll be heading for 44. Break Into Tear Musial's wife, Lil, who said she never wanted Stan to quit, and! two of his daughters, Gerry, 18. and .lanet, 1:1, broke into tears when the announcement was made. Mrs. Musial said ; he had not known about Stan's decision until "just a day or so ago." Musial. smoking a cigar, tried to relieve the tension. "If I had known this would cause such a commotion, I would have announced it in New York in two minutes." he cracked. Musial, who said he expects to be a grandfather belore he re tires officially on Sept. 29 in St. Louis, established or tied 17 ma jor league records, 30 National League standards and nine All- Star Game marks. He helped the club win four pennants and three world cham pionships. Musial has appeared in 83 games this season, hatting ,2li0, City and it would have been overjwell below his career average of 333.

And Mon day night lie turned back tlie San rrancisco Giants, 3-1, with the help of a two-run. eighth-inning homer by Johnny Callison. Short called Monday night s performance his "biggest thrill in baseball" and "the best game I ever pitched." Nobody was ready to argue with him on either count, least of all the Giants, who missed a great opportunity tu pick up ground on the idle Dodgers. First Over Giants It was the first time in his ca reer that Short beat the Giants. He dueled Jim Duffalo through seven scoreless innings until Jim Kay Hart, playing in his first full big league game, doubled home Harvey Kuenn for a San Francis co run in the top of the eighth. The Phillies, though, bounced back w ith three runs in their half of the inning. Tony Taylor opened the frame with a single and Cal lison followed with a homer into the light tower above the right field wall. Roy Sicvcrs singled home the Phils' final run off re liever Bob Bolin. Duffalo wound up with his first defeat in five decisions this year and the Giants dropped four ames back of the pace-setting Dodgers. For Short, who scat' tered eight hits and fanned eight, it was only his fourth victory against nine setbacks. The Pittsburgh Pirates turned back die Houston Colts, 4-2, in the only other NL game. In the only American League action, the Boston Red Sox snapped a nine- game losing streak by edging the Minnesota Twins, 5-4. Take Early Lead The Pirates staked Bob Friend to a 3-0 lead in the first inning with the help of a two-run single by Jerry Lynch with the bases loaded. Roy Face, appearing his fifth straight game, saved Friend's 14th victory by turning back a strong Houston threat in the ninth inning. Lou Clinton, benched since Aug, belted a pair of two-run horn ers for the Red Sox to prevent Minnesota from moving into second-place tie with the Chicago White Sox. The Red Sox, who committed four errors, wiped out a 4-2 deficit in the sixth on a solo homer by Felix Mantilla and Clinton's second blast of the game with Carl Yastrzemski aboard.

Jesus Alou whacked a homer and brother Matty and Gil Gar- ido also chipped in with run- scoring singles. Dallas-Ft. Worth exploded for 21 hits in a 17-1 slaughter of Oklahoma City in southern divi sion action. The win moved the Rangers to within l'j games of the 89'ers. Bob Baillargeon breezed to the victory as he surrendered eight hits. Meanwhile, Tony Oliva led the Ranger hit parade with five hits, including a double and his 15th homer. Ray Jablonski unloaded his 20th foul-master of the cam paign in the second inning. Ben Johnson, first of lour Okla homa City pitchers, receipted for the loss.

Portland ended the evening with the unusual linescorc of 3 hits, 3 runs and 3 errors.
