Cardinals Win Pair To Slash Brooklyn Lead New York, June 19—(UP) Solemn. black-haired Howie pollet and blond, fun-loving Ernie White, two <dd left handed pitching pal", paused briefly today at htxehall’x "heartbreak Junction" and wondered when they would meet again. At the cross-roads where the stars going up pass the "has heena" coming down. It looked bright for crafty Pollet of the Cardinale and all but hopeless for White, who lx still io the majors only because of the faith of hie old boss, Billy Southworth, now manager of the Braves. Southworth, who brought While to major league stardom when he directed the Cardinal", picked him up for another chance when St. I<ouis cast him adrift because of a chronic arm ailment. And yesterday. as the Cards and Braves squared away In u Bunker Hill day holiday double header In Boston, Southworth chose White to make his first start In a Brave*' uniform against his old mate*. The 30y ear-old southpaw hud been working out easily for week* for this big day and it would have been nice to write that he gave his ex-mates a good beating.

But that wasn't the way that the baseball gods decreed It and before be had retired a man in the first inning he was through perhaps for good. Two batters got hits and two other* got walks before Ernie put his glove in bis hip pocket and walked away, sadly. He didn't look like the same Jaunty kid, who in sheer hilarity at pitching a 2 to 0 world xeries shutout against the Yankees In 1942. dragged a nattily-clad sports writer pal under a cold shower with him. That his bad start enabled the Cardinals to bang out a 14-hlt, 9 Io 8 triumph in the opener and that tight-lipped Pollet went on to pitch a brilliantly fashioned, 1 to 0 second game victory for the Cardinals only added to the irony. For It was White who came to the Card* first and who showed the greater promise after both got their start down on the team's Texas league farm club at Houston. Pellet's victory was vital, coming after he bad been batted out In four straight starts. He had to be good to shade oldster Bill Lee. who gave up only seven hltx. Pollet singled to start the winning rally in the xixtli in which Erv Duxak doubled home the lone run In the opener, Stan Musial had the hottest bat, getting a homer, double and two singles. The Cards by winning twice, cut Brooklyn's league lead to two games. The Phils, making a game bid to get out of last place, climbed Io within six points of the Giants by beating the Pirates. 7 to 3. The Hues made 15 hits but left 12 men on base while Philadelphia concentrated its nine-hit attack. Skeeter Newsome drove in four Philly runs, two on a homer.

Jack Kramer of the Browns became th., first American League pitcher to beat the Red Sox twice, topping them 7 to I on fire hits at St. Louis. It wan Boston's fifth lorn in six games and reduced its lead over New York to seven and a half games. Kramer, who shut out Boston with three hits on the last Red Sox road trip, would have hud another whltwash last night, hut tor two errors which permitted an unearned run. The Browns tagged ace Lefty .Mickey Harris for five runs in the third when Vern Step, hens and Johnny Berardino hit h >mers It was Krumei's seventh win ugainet one defeat. There were no other major league games. Yesterday's etar-Jack Kramer of the Browns, who beat the Red Sox on five hits, 7 to 1, to become the first American league pitcher with two wins over the league leaders.
