Braves Wallop Cards, Tigers Blank Indians NEW YORK (INS) — fiddle Stauky bas a contract and a vote of confidence from hie boss, but there# no guarantee that Rttle Muggey will be back mauaginig the St Louis Cardinale next eeason. The Cardinals, with enough power in Mueial, Schoendlenat, Moon, Jablonski and l company to keep owner Avgust Buech’s beer plant generators working full time, are g< ing nowhere but down. The reason? No pitching. Stanky has apologized publicly to the St. Louis fans for his various shenanigans, including that forfeited recent swingjfest with the Philadelphia Phillies. He promised to change. But his pitching hasn’t and the peppery skipper finds his team in sixth place, 17% games off the pace and just about out as pennant contenders. Milwaukee’s torrid Braves poured it on Tuesday night, blanking the Redbirds, 11 to 0 behind a masterful three hitter by Jim (No Hit) Wilson. It’s no disgrace to lose to the Braves these days, but SUanky’s team was frewh from dropping four out of five to the Pittsburgh Pirates, so Tuesday night’s humiliation didn’t draw any raves from St. Louis fans. The Braves, notching their 15th victory in 17 games, had the per feet blend again. Wilson, winning bis eighth game without a loss pitched to only 29 batters and walked one. No runners advanced to second as the righthander wat helped by two double plays. , Four homers highlighted Milwaukee’s attack on Vic Raschi Ben Wade and Joe Presko. Rookie Hank Aaron drove in five rups two with his 13tti homer in the first inning and three with a bases loaded double in the fourth. Joe Adcock hit his 20th’ homer, with two on, Del Crandall his 13th and Eddie Mathews slammed his 31et. Rasrhi, the ex-Yankee Stauky hoped would bolster his staff and who won five straight at the begining of the season, lost his seventh game in 15 decisions. With no bullpen and with ace Harvey Haddix getting shelled as a start et and reliever in, Pittsburgh Stauky is faced with the problem of battling for a first division berth. The third place Braves remain ad 5% games behind the league four game losing streak by edging the Pittsburgh Pirates. 2 to 1. Thi Giants upped their lead to sod games when the Philadelphia Phil lies beat the Brooklyn Dodgers C to 3. Johnny Antonelli won hia 17tl for the Durochermen. wNh relie help from Marr Grissom in th< eighth.

The Phillies, winning their aixti ina row, blasted Johnny Podrei for six rune in the first two in nfngs. three on Stan Lopata’s first inning homer.
