Cards Manager Is Troubled By Mound Worrier ; New York. May 3-(UI’)-Evl-deuce was mounting today that , the Cardinals aren't overloaded , with pitchers after all and that manager Eddie Dyer may have , to make a left-handed bid for the , National league pennant. , The pitching section was sup- ! posed Io play the prettiest music on the St. Louis pennant bandwagon, but up to now there have been some sour notes front the "slingi Ing symphony.” Johnny Beazley, freshman star of the 1912 pennant-winning team with 21 wins and six defeats, pitched and was batted out in the Cardinal season opener and has been sidelined since with a sore arm. Two other great prospects, purple heart wearers Howie Kriat and John Grodzlckl. can't In* counted 1 on because of their war injuries. Krlst. who was top relief man in baseball with a three year record of 34 wins and right losses up to 1943, has worked in only one inning to date. Grodzkkl, carrying shrapnel wounds in one leg, hasn't been used at all. Murry Dickson, another dependable pre-war artist, has pitched six scattered relief innings and Max Surkout. a fastbailer. was sent back by the Braves with a sore arm after being I traded. Even without thia quintet, Dyer has found eight different starting pitchers for 14 games, but what seems significant is that only three southpaws. Max Lanier, ilowle Pollet and Harry Brecheen have started more than once. !<ast year's bell-Metber. right hander Charley Barret, was knocked out in iii* only starting role aw were Ted Wilks, rookie ace of 1944. and Ken Burkhart, a consistent winner last year. Rookie Fred Martin is the only right hander who has started, finished and won his game. Southpaw Brecheen was bumped yesterday, suffering hta third loss aga'nst one victory when the visiting New York Giants scored four times in the eighth to win, 5 to 1. Ex-Cardinal Johnny Mize delivered two of the runs with a clutch single to give Dave osio. GlGant southpaw, a four-hit victory. The Dodgers took over first place with a 3 to 2 victory at Chicago. Billy Herman hit a pinch single to score two runs in the eighth and give pitcher Art Her- . ring his second relief victory. The Pirates defeated Phitadelph- . ia. 8 to 3 at Pittsburgh, scoring five runs in the third on triples by Hank Cainelli and Boh Elliott, four walks and a wild throw. Andy Seminick's homer was the only damaging blow off oldster Fritz Oetermueller. who gained his first 1944 victory. The leading Red Sox made it three straight over Detroit in the American, winning 5 to 4 in the iJib when Ted William* broke up the game with a homer. Boston started fast, scoring three I runs on Hal Wagner’s second Inning homer, but Detroit knocked out Cecil (Texl Hughson wi h a score-tying four-run rally in the eighth.
