Cards Defeat Braves, Cut Chicago Lead New York, July 18 —(UP) —The rollicking Red Hirds of St. Louis, who like mountain music almost as well as baseball, found a “ftiilOr-made” candidate for their fciirffent gas-house gang when singer-pitcher Charley Barrett moved over from the Boston Braves. To be sure they lost a talented gas-houser in Mort Cooper, who was able to give accomplished renditions of such Cardinal hillbilly favorites as “Willie, My Toes Are Cold" and "The Chill On The Hill.” But if Billy Southworth, the doughty little Cardinal pilot had made a house-to-house canvass tit every player in baseball, he probably couldn't have found one that fitted in better with the spirited, hard-driving and fun-lov-ing players on his club than “Red” Barrett. The talkative “barber” from Santa Barbara. Cal., has become the Cardinal cheerleader, needling opponents both when he is bitching and when he is lolling in the dugout. And on top of that he has become the club’s top pitcher with nine victories and three defeats since joining them late in May. Yet he was supposed to have been merely langniappe in the big cash transaction for Cooper, because his record of nine Wihs against 16 losses with the tftaves in 1944 should have led no one to believe that he would

develop into a big winner. Although Cooper, meanwhile, has compiled a fine percentage record of eight wins and one loss, he also has acquired arm trouble and hasn’t started a game since June 27. So all around the Cards figure to have profited in the deal for Chatterbox Charley. They let the juke box boom out in his honor last night because he finally got a chance to beat his ex-mates, 3 to 2, with a workmanlike nine-hit job for his 12th vic- ’ tory of the season. It was the 1 first time that Barrett’s turn to 1 start had come during a Brave series and he took advantage of 1 the situation with some brilliant ’ pinch-hitting. 1 The Cardinal victory reduced the lead of the Cubs to three i games because of their 2 to 1 loss • to the Giants at Chicago. Bill Voiselle outpitched Paul Erick- ■ son in a duel in which each gave up five hits. The Dodgers broke Nick Strincevich’s winning streak at six straight games with a 5 to 2 night victory over the Pirates at Pittsburgh. Hal Gregg gained the Dodger victory, his 11th. Rookie Dick Mauney outpitched veteran Joe Bowman to give the Phils a 3 to 1 victory over the Reds. Mauney gave up three hits while Bowman yielded only four. Steve Gromek won his 11th game of the season at Boston as the Indians topped the Red Sox, 6 to 1, behind his nine-hit pitching. He had a shutout going into the ninth when Johnny Lazor spoiled it with a homer. He issued no walks and struck out six. All other American league games were rained out. Yesterday’s star — Rookie Dick Mauney of the Phils, who pitched a three-hit, 3 to 1 victory over Joe Bowman of the Reds for his second major league victory. His first —a previous victory over Bowman and the Reds. Those are the only games Bowman has lost since coming back to the National league this season. o Schedule Listed For Recreation League Deane Dorwin, supervisor of the summer recreation league, today announced the schedule for playoff of postponed garnets in the American division.

O o Todoy's Sports Parade By JACK CUDDY Reg. U. S. Pat. Off.) O O New York, July 18.—(UP)— When baby-faced Tony Janiro climbed down from Madison Square Garden’s ring on the night pt -March 9—a. bespectacled, haired man greeted him at the bottom of the steps, shook hte hand warmly and congratulated him upon his masterly performance in beating Monte Pignatore in the sixround semi-final. Photographers snapped the picture of this congratulation, but everyone near the ring steps seemed to be paying more attention to the bespectacled man than to Janiro. This turn of affairs puzzlied the 18-year-old welterweight from Youngstown, O. In the dressing room, Janiro asked Frankie Jacobs, his manager, “Who was that man who shook my hand when I came down from the ring?” Jacobs replied, “Why—that was Harry Truman, the vice president.” Somewhat awed, Janiro muttered, “Imagine that—the vice president of Madison Square Garden shakes my hand.” Manager Frankie exploded, “Madison Square Garden —hell! He’s vice president of the United States.” And that’s the way things have been happening to baby-faced Jan-

iro. He’s such a nice, clean-look-ing kid—with his fair skin and curly brown hair—and such a brilliant boxer, that the very best people are attracted to him—in droves, in hundreds, in thousands. In fact, there’ll probably be more than 16,000 fans and a gate of more than $70,000 at Madison Square Garden Friday night when the peach-fuzzed pugilist makes his most important bid for national recognition in an eight-round main event against hard-hitting Johnny Greco of Montreal. , Beqause of this crowd and gate and the lucky train of events sinoe he turned professional 18 months ago, young Janiro regards the world as a lovely, golden paradise. Nothing could be finer than his current existence —winhing friends and fame and “frogskins” by tossing leather. He loves to fight, and he is remarkably proficient with his mits. He lost but one of 40 professional encounters, and later reversed that decision But maybe everything will be changed Friday night. Maybe .the garden’s girdere will fall upon him when he faces explosive Johnny Greco there in the merciless glare of the ring lights. Although the bout is limited to eight rounds be-
