Richards T 9 Coach Chicago Cardinals CHICAGO (INS) ' Ray Richards, the sixth man to coach the Chicago Cardinals since Walter Wolfner became general manager six years ago, has taken over from dismissed Joe “Jumbo” Stydahar for the 1955 season. Wolfner insisted Thursday that the deal involving Stydahar, Richards and himself was “an amicable arrangement” — particularly with regard tooths 316,000 salary the club was obligated to pay the ex-coach under a three-year contract which still had a year to go. x It was understood that a “happy” compromise was arrived at between Stydahar and Wolfner—ending a deadlock which had existed for some weeks when both knew they had reached a parting of the ways. The “hassle” involved no personalities with regard to ißichards, a close friend of Stydahar since both worked together with the Los Angeles Rams before Joe was signed as head coach of the Cards in 1953. ~MWL AMERICAN LEAGUE Club W.

Buried hopelessly in last place after a catastrophic 13-game losing streak which was held together by bad breaks when not by bad ball playing, Mayo Smith’s rejuvenated Quakers have won ten of their last 12 games and stand eight percentage points out of fifth place. Seminick pulled the Phillies Into sixth place ahead of his old teammates Thursday night when he blasted the eighth grand slam home run of his career in the first inning of Philadelphia’s 8 to 4 victory over the Chicago Cubs. It was the second straight defeat for the second place Cubs and dropped the Bruins 7% games behind National League kingpin Brooklyn. ,c.: Seminick stepped to the plate after hits by Glen Gorbous and Earl ,Torgeson and an intentional pass to Willie Jbnes had loaded the bases with one out and a run in.

Ted Kluszewski banged out his 15th roundtripper for the Redlegs. The Pirates supported Max Sur--1 kont with a 17-hit attack which in- , eluded home runs by Dale Long ■ and Frank Thomas. Gil McDougald, Elston Howard and Hank Bauer aided the Yankee cause with home runs and Jim Finigan sparked a four run uprising in the eighth inning for the Athletics with a three-run homer.
