Cards Defeat Giants, Take League Lead By MILTON RICHMAN United Press Sports Writer Stan Musial passed Ty Cobb today atid the St. Louis Cardinals entered into the spirit of the occasion by passing Milwaukee to take over the National League lead. All this passing was accomplished when the Cardinals defeated the-'Gianta, 8-0, Thursday night to take over first place by two percentage points «”ver the idle Braves. The 36-year-old Musial supplied most of the impetus with a perfect night at the plate that included a pair of two-run homers and two singles. Stan the Man passed Cobb with his second homer of the game in the sixth inning. The blow, his 24th circuit of the season, was the 1,140th extra base hit of his career and put him in third place ahead of the Georgia Peach in that department. Only Babe Ruth, with 1,356 extra base hits, and Lou Gehrig, with 1,190, are ahead of Musial. Sam Jones limited the Giants to . six hits in registering his ninth victory. It was the Cards’ sixth straight win. Senators Edge Chrsox In the only other National League games scheduled, Cincinnati nipped Philadelphia, 4-3, and Brooklyn mauled Chicago, 12-3. Detroit defeated Boston, 7-5, and Washington beat the White Sox, 5-4, in the only two American League games scheduled. The Redlegs beat the Phillies with a three-run rally in the eighth inning UntH the eighth, southpaw Curt Simmons had a 3-1 lead, buUt with the help of homers by Stan Lopata and Rip Repulski. Johnny Klippstein was the winner iii relief of Brooks Lawrence. Gil Hodges of the Dodgers set a National League record with the 13th grand slam homer of his career as Brooklyn rapped out 18 hits and took advantage of six Cub errors. Hodges' grand slam wallop off Dick Littlefield enabled him to pass Rogers Hornsby and Ralph Kiner, who held the previous record of 12 grand slam home runs. Sandy Koufax checked the Cubs on four hits while striking out 11 ■ Ernie Banks’ three-run homer h j the fourth accounted for all Chi-i cagp'g juh 5 . , 4 ' Rally Falls Short The Tigers had to call on Frank Lary to stem a four - run, ninthinnitig rally after Frank Malzone belted a three-ruq homer off Duke Maas. Harry Byrd relieved Maas and yielded two more singles but then Lary took over and got Norm Zauchin to hit into a double play, after which he struck out Ted Lepcio for the final out. Boston starter Mike Fornieles was the loser. The Senators spotted the White Sox an early four - run lead and then came back to win at the expense of rookie Bill Fischer. Larry Doby put the White Sox ahead with a grand slam homer in the fourth inning but Washington tied the score on Roy Sievers’ 28th homer with one on in the sixth. Sievers' homer finished Jack Harshman and brought in Fischer, who gave up the deciding run on a double by Art Schult, a sacrifice and Milt Bolling's single Southpaw Chuck Stobbs was credited with his fifth victory, holding the White Sox to four hits in eight innings before yielding to Tru Clevenger, who gave up another ht in the ninth. The loss dropped the second - place White Sox four games behind the pacesetting Yankees.

Today's Sport Parade (Reg- U.S. Pat. Off.) By OSCAR FRALEY United Press Sports Writer NEW YORK (UP) — Jack Sanford of the Phillies and Tony Kubek of the Yankees appear today to have Rookie of the Year honors locked up but the rest of the post-season awards still are wide open. Sanford, the 28-year-old '‘boy” wonder who finally made the big league grade after 10 years, could emerge from the campaign with more medals than a revolutionary general. If he keeps going, and should the Phillies come on to win the pennant, he might take honors in three departments. In such a case, the blond New England speedball pitcher conceivably could capture Rookie of the Year, Most Valuable Player and Most Valuable Pitcher honors rlrf a clean sweep. . . Sanford, who learned to control this curve ball to post 14 Victoria; •No date against« oiriy- three* defeats, apparently will have to top Billy Pierce of the White Sox for pitching honors and Hank Aaron of the Braves for Most Valuable acclaim. Pierce Close Behind Pierce, with a 15-7 pitching mark, is Sanford’s closest compet- ’ itor for the Most Valuable Pitcher honors. This bit of business won't be settled until the race is run. Aaron, making a triple crown bid in batting average, homers and runs batted in, is the man Sanford has to best for the Most Valuable Player Award. Sanford, however, seems far In front of such rookie candidates as first base teammate Ed Bouchee, third - baseman Ed Kasko and pitcher Von McDaniel of the Cards, Dick Drott of the Ciibs, Danny McDevitt of the Dodgers and Dick Farrell of the PhUs. Kubek appears far and away the best of an American League rookie crop which does not shape up as strong as the National League group. The six-foot, threeinch 21-year-old is hitting close to the .300 mark and has been a valuable part of the Yankee infield MVP To Mantle In the running against him are such as pitcher Ralph Terry and outfielder Woody Held of Kansas City, Roger Maris of Cleveland, Jim Landis and Bill Fischer of the White Sox and Larry Raines of the Indians. Whan it comes to the Amefican League’s most valuable race, most baseball observers are inclined to hand the plum to the Yankees’ Mickey Mantle without waiting for final results. Yet, as of the moment, ‘‘old man" Ted Williams is making a determined run at him with a hot stick. The odds are that the Yankees will win the pennant and this always is a major factor in final selection of the most valuable player. Trade in a. good town — Decatu.

To Survey Indiana Auditing Methods Committee Named By Gov. Handley INDIANAPOLIS (UP)—A nineman committee of business will survey Indiana governmental auditing methods in an effort to stop embezzlements, Governor Handley announced late Thursday. Handley told newsmen the group will make “a complete analysis" of methods of the State Board of Accounts to determine “whether perhaps their methods are somewhat outmoded.” Handley acted after disclosures last week that Perry County Treasurer Earl C. Kieser confessed embezzling about $200,000 of county funds, and that a shortage of “several thousand dollars” urned up in the State Intangibles fax Division. Handley said he appointed the ?roup to make recommendations to the 1959 General Assembly ifter studying auditing and accounting methods used by the accounts board and county and local governments. ) The accounts board now has 125 examiners to act as “watchdogs” wer funds of 5,500 governmental units in the state, Handley said The committee appointees are chairman Arthur Weimer, Indiana Jniversity business school dean; I. Dwight Peterson, Indianapolis; r.E. Robinson, Columbus; Otis T. Fitzwater, Indianapolis; Clarence A. Jackson, Indianapolis; former Democratic national chairman Frank McKinney, Indianapolis; William Riley, East Chicago, and George S. Olive. Indianapolis. Also during the news conference. Handley was asked to comment on Democratic charges that he should be held partly to blame for Indiana's highway scandals since he was lieutenant governor when they occurred. Handley said during that time he heard only "rumors” but had no facts. He said it was “impos.sible for me to do thything about it.” “Had I tried to take over the governor’s chair I would have been ridden out of the state,”’he said. Indiana Principals To Meet Next Week BLOOMINGTON (UP) —lndiana high school principals who are members of the North Central Association of Secondary Schools and Colleges will gather at Indiana University Aug. 2-10 for their annual meeting.

Pro Football Players Union Okayed By Bell WASHINGTON (UP)-Commis-sioner Bert Bell's recognition of the National Football League’s Player Assn, was backed today by eight of the 10 owners required to approve the action. Bell’s action also appeared to clear the way for friendly congressional legislation for pro football when subcommittee Chairman Emanuel Celler (D-N.Y.) said he is “willing to modify my views” on anti - trust regulation of the spent as a result of the testimony he has heard. The committee has not scheduled any hearing for today but is expected to begin an inquiry into basketball next week. George Preston Marshall, president of the Washington Redskins, led the minority group of owners who either opposed or refused to accept in toto Bell’s action. Marshall said he doubted Bell had the authority to recognize the ationCreighton E. Miller, lawyer for the Players’ Assn., said he believed Bell was speaking for the whole league but that testimony by George Halas, owner of the Chicago Bears, raised some doubts. Halas said he supported Bell’s action with the qualification that each club have a player representative in the association. Halas* Bears do not have a representative. Bell, the little gamecock who has helped build up the NFL’s popularity and prestige, told newsmen he spoke for the whole league and had the power to do so under the constitution. He said no club “could overturn the deci® sion.” Bell added he was ready to open negotiations immediately on Such things as minimum pay and working conditions. The owners who backed Bell without reservation were Art Rooney of the Pittsburgh Steelers, Jack Mara of the New York Giants, Frank McNamee of the Philadelphia Eagles. Tony Morabito of the San Francisco FortyNiners, Walter Wolfner of the- Chicago Cardinals, Pete Rozelle of the Los Angeles Rams, Edwin J.
