the Cardinal organization as a!wlmcr' and by next baseball sea-
player, will continue tn work for
the Red Rirds in an executive
capacity.
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. He has collected H4 hits, in
eluding nine home runs, scored
24 runs and knocked in 44.

the tag of "Stan, The Man" from
the fans at old Ebbetts Field in

against the Dodgers. He ap

Chris Short stands 6-4
weighs 205 pounds, but he has
never ranked too tall among Na
lional League pitchers.
In fact, the only recognition-
if you can call it that he has
gained in five seasons with the
Philadelphia Phillies came in 1981
when he led the league in wild
pitches.
Yet in the last month. Short
twice has short-circuited the pen

ford. Del., beat the Los Angeles
Dodgers in their own park July
and 26 to launch Walt Alston's men
on their current skid. 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.

Only three games were played
in the Pacific Coast League last
night, but they produced a trio
of solid pitching performances
and seven homers besides.
Gay lord Perry, just sent down
by the San t rancisco Giants, was
the master in his first start for
Tacoma. He allowed three hits as
Tacoma squashed Salt Lake 5-1.
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.
The homer pace picked up in
Honolulu where the Islanders
dumped slumping Portland 8-3.
Ed Thomas of Hawaii tossed a
3-hittcr, but two of the blows
were homers by Bill Kern and
Bill Meyer. Portland ended the
evening with the unusual linescorc
of 3 hits, 3 runs and 3 errors.
Meanwhile, Ed Kirkpatrick and
Carlos Bernier put a couple out
of the park for the Islanders and
t was Kirkpatrick s two-run belt
that broke open a 3-3 tie in the
third inning.
The other four PCL teams took
tlie night off, but everybody is
back in action tonight.
