Oil Says Cardinals Pitching Uncertain Chicago, July 16—(IP) —ls the' Ml. (amis Cardinals ar<* to make I a late season dash for the national league pennant their pitching will have to settle down in n hurry, manager Mel Olt of the New York Giants said today. Ott. struggling with a club that Is buried deep In second division, spoke on the basis of observations' made in four games against the Cardinals before he movd his Giants in here for the current series with the Chicago Cults. “The Caidlnals* pitching still was on the wobbly side against us," Olt said, "we hit bard to take two of the four games there. Howie Pollett looker! good, but the rest of the staff that worked against us wasn't impressive. Pol- i . left was the only pitcher they ‘ started against us who went the ' | route." The records bear out Ott's views. Pollett went all the way in pitch Inga five hit. 2to 1 triumph, j but in the other three contests manager Eddie Dyer called on 12 hurlers. , "Wo didn't see Johnny Beazley or Murray Dickson." Ott explain »-d. "hilt we hit starters like Harry Bracheen and T. Wilk hard and got them out of there and then follow ed up on the reliefers. To prove the relief pitching wasn't up to standard. Pollett came back in a relief role the day after he had gone the route.” While Ott wasn't impressed*by St. lamia pitching, there were other factors that caught his eye about the Cards play. "Enos Slaughter is beginning to bit,” the Giants pilot pointed out. “and that can mean an awful lot to the club. He’s one of those dangerous hitters who delivers that long ball for you. Terry Moore played against us. but he still appeared to be bothered by a bad leg." Ott expressed the belief the switch of Stan Musial from the outfield to first base had bolstered the Cards. "He’s a great player. The kind of a fellow you could play moat any place and count on him to

come through In (•»*' » t Y |e ,nr you ," tut said. "He Isn't a fin Ished defensive jierformer. but that will come with lime. At that, lie made only one defensive mistake against us, when ho tried to May on the bug and reach a wide throw. It went through him and the runner took an extra base. It was a cae where he should have gone off the hag to get the hull Muslal *u* given the first base assignment after rookie Dick Slsler failed after an early season experiment. . .. ■ The fortunes .of tho Cardinals naturally are closely entwined with the doing* of the pace setting Brooklyn Dodgers. "I've heard the Dodgers have looked bad on thh road trip." OH said, “hut you never can tell. We'll have to wait a while longer."
