Robinson And Musial Stars As Clubs Win ' ; .■ .if ( 1 ■ ’ ■ NEW YORK, UP — jstan The Man Musial and Jackie Robinson, who .rose to full eminence, as spper-stars when <Joe DiMaggio and Ted Williams faded from the picture, gave the National League new prestige Thursday r - and new hope for another victory in the annual All-Star classic. They are the new magic names in the game and stand out among all active players as best bets to land eventually in the hall of fame. Ope game doesn’t make a season, nor does it make or break a player, but the deeds of both Musial and Robinson were brought strongly into focus Wednesday as they led their clubs to standout victories.

Musial, now established as the game’s greatest all-around hitter, passed another milestone when he attained his 1,900th hit ag the Cards drubbed the Phillies, 7 to ( 1. Before the season ends, he is likqly to top the 2,000 figure. And, as he made it 1,900 with a \ resounding tworun homer,, he surpassed all but three fading stars — Phil Cavarretta, Bob Elliott, and Johnny Mize—at that level. Musial, who should catch them all before the year ends, also added a single later to make it 1,901. He paced the 15-hit Cardinal attack as little Joe Presko pitched a five-hitter, three of the blows being tagged by catcher Smokey Burgess. Robinson, not so devastating a hitter, but perhaps a greater allaround performer with his brilliance afield and on the bases, “stple” a 6 to 5 decision for Brooklyn in 10 innings. He pilfered three basses, the last in the 10th when he walked, took second, went to third as Dutch Leonard strbck out Roy Campanella, who gained first as the ball eluded catcher Toby Atwell. Robby scored on Gil Hodges’ fly. . Duke Snider
