Cardinals Win Seventh In Row Tuesday Night By FRED DOWN United Press Sports Writer The St. Louis Cardinals’ longest winning streak in five years today turned the National League race into a five-team donnybrook that threatens to make last year’s three-team affair look like a tea party. The Cardinals, who hadn’t won seven straight games since August, 1952, reached that total Tuesday night when they celebrated Stan Musial’a record-tying 822nd consecutive game with a 5-2 decision over the Philadelphia Phillies. That victory combined with Pittsburgh's 8-1 win over Cincinnati and Milwaukee's 7-2 triumph over Brooklyn meahs there are a scant 33 percentage points separating the first and fifth-place teams in the N.L. Hie world champion New York Yankees quieted talk of an impending American League runaway with a 3-2 victory over the Chicago White Sox that cut the losers’ first-place margin to four games. The season's largest crowd —49,ll4—saw the yankees hand the White Sox their third straight degames. Redlegs Pull “Triple” Ruben Gomez pitched the New York Giants to 5-1 victory over the Chicago Cubs in the other N. L. game while toe Cleveland Indians beat the Boston Red Sox, 7-6, and the Baltimore Orioles defeated the Detroit Tigers, 4-1, in other A. L. games. Washington at Kansas City was rained out. Murry Dickson turned in a seven-hitter for his third victory behind a 15-bit St Louis attack that included four hits by Al Dark and three by Del Ennis. Hal Smith homered tor the Cardinals in the second inning and started a three-run rally in the sixth with a triple. Musial, who tied Gus Suhr’s N. L. endurance mark, contributed only a single. The Pirates were victimized by the first triple play of the N.L. season in the third inning but got . five - hit pitc hi ng from BBb Purkey to win their third straight game over a contender. Gene Baker and Bill Mazeroski had rhits each for the Pirates,, are “getting into the act” with seven victories in their last;

Eight Former Champs Enter In U. S. Open TOLEDO, Ohio (UP) — Eight former champions, and 154 other golfers who are trying to win the title tor the first time, tested the tough, rough and tightening fast greens of the Inverness Country Club for the last time today before they tee off for the game’s biggest prize—the U. S. Open championship. The man they had to beat, according to the bookmaker’s odds and the golfers themselves, was no one less than one of the old men in the field—Bantam Ben Hogan." Hogan, who has won this one four times and is shooting for an unprecedented fifth, doesn’t claim too much for his own chances, for be is experimenting with a new putting grip. But those who have played practice rounds with him over the tight, rolling 6,919-yard par 70 layout say he is hitting the ball as well as ever. Ben Mentally Perfect As for his putting, the veteran Gene Sarazen. one of the former champs in the field who has been testing the course with Hogan in practice rounds, suggested there was nothing for Ben to worry about. “With these small and fast greens, the only way to putt is to close your eyes and hope for the best,” Sarazen said. “We played the course Tuesday after 10 hours of rain and the greens were so fast it was impossible to judge them. Imagine how fast they will be if we get a few days of hot SUB,” Hogan, who is 45, appeared in fine spirits. His practice round playing partners, including another veteran of the golfing wars, Jimmy Demaret, said they have never seen him more jovial. "You’d have to say his mental attitude is perfect,” Demaret said. “This isn’t the serious Hogan we used to know. Maybe he has learned to relax, and if he has—look out.” ’ Demaret hintself, who is 46 and the only grandfather in the field, is among those classed right behind Hogan in the favorite’s role. Snead Tries Again Another veteran, Slammin’ San Snead, trying once again for the only major title in golf which has escaped him, was grouped right up there with Hogan and Demaret in the favorite’s class. Snead is 45. Snead’s practice rounds have not been sensational, although one day he came in with an unofficial 69 after hitting the deep rough of the course five times. In addition to Hogan and Sarazen, the former champs in the field are Cary Middlecoff, the defending title holder; Ed Furgol, Julius Boros, Lloyd Mangrum, Lew Worsham, and Jack Fleck. Only Middlecoff and Boros in addition, to Hogan rank among the favorites. Hot Baek Nine Furgol, whose left arm is withered and who is bothered by a bone chip in right arm, shot a four under par 32 on the back nine on a practice round. “But I’ll never be able to do it when the chips are down for I’m just not in shape,” he said. The 162 golfers will tee off at 8 a.m. c.d.t. on Thursday in threesomes. There were two late substitutions. Veteran Bobby Cruickshank of Pittsburgh and Rudy Horvath of Windsor, Canada, got in when John Penrose Jr., of Miami Beach and Bob Babish of Detroit withdrew. The USGA also announced that the prize money had been increased from $25,000 to $30,000, boosting first place money to $7,200. f
