Cardinals on The Beam After A Bad Start

But It Seems They're Too Far Behind

By GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.—The St. Louis Cardinals got started too late. They are now playing the best ball in the National League but their early season flop virtually eliminates them as pennant

contenders. Since July 11 the Cards have won 17 games and lost four for an .810 average. Not even the red-hot Reds can match that pace, having won only 15 and lost six during a similar period. By knocking off the Bees twice yesterday, the Cards moved up to within half a game of 500 per cent. Once they reach that mark you can look for the Cards to climb. They are definitely a first-division club and might even move up as high as second in the stretch drive. Straightens Out Pitching Staff

Billy Southworth has proved he’s a major league pilot since he took over the Cards June 14. The Cards were in seventh place that morning with a record of 15 wins and 29 defeats for a percentage of .341. Under Southworth, St. Louis has won 29 games and lost 16 for a 644 percentage Southworth has had his troubles, but he’s ironed out most of them and built a smooth-playing machine, His biggest achievement probably was straightening out the mangled Card pitching staff and building up the individual confidence of men who had been accustomed to being vanked on the least provocation. During the Cards’ recent spurt, Southworth has had 15 men go the route, with 13 of them winning. Only 12 relief men were used in the 21 games, and four of them participated in one game. By clipping the Bees in yesterday’s double-header, 3-1 (11 innings) and 17-8, the Cards moved within half a game of the fourth-place Cubs who lost again to the Phillies. Max West's error on Terry Moore's pop fly in the 11th paved the way for the Card's first win. Mize and Padgett were intentionally passed. Koy's fly scored Moore and Stu Martin's single scored Mize. Shoun allowed only seven hits in winning No. 7. The Cards rattled off 22 hits in the nightcap while McGee coasted to his eighth victory. Johhny Mize hit homer No. 29 in the opener and No. 30 in the nightcap, the latter with two on.

SOFTBALL

Trying to get in all their scheduled games as well as to avoid a pileup of postponed games to be negotiated after the state softball tournament, the Pepsi Cola Boosters will battle Paranite Wire of Jonesboro tonight at Softball Stadium. Though still ahead of the Vance Optometrists of Anderson in their two-way struggle for the BushFeezle State League flag, the Boosters are anxious to play every game possible, realizing that every victory will help them and hurt Anderson. The preliminary tonight will match two darkhorse entrants in the city tournament which opens tomorrow night at the stadium. They are Gleason Pie and Gem] Coal.

Goldsmith's Negro Secos staged a four-run uprising in the ninth inning at Softball Stadium last night

Ninth inning home runs by Bur-| gess Whitehead and Hank Danning, each with one on, brought the New | York Giants a 5-4 victory over| Bucky Walters and the Cincinnati Reds before 30,334 fans at the Polo Grounds. Paul Dean, who pitched hitless relief ball for the final two innings, was credited with his third win and Walters charged with his sixth loss. The Cubs suffered a costly loss at Philadelphia. Gabby Hartnett was hit in the head when Mel Mazzera's bat slipped striking out and had to retire. Augie Galan crashed into the concrete wall chasing Ham Schultz's foul fly and was taken to the hospital with a fractured knee. Hugh| Mulcahy kept the Cubs’ nine hits scattered in scoring his 12th victory 7-3. Johnny Rizzo hit a homer with two on. The Tigers and Cleveland fought from behind to win and maintain their American League deadlock. The Tigers beat the Yanks, 7-6, in the 11th when Hank Greenberg's | single scored Bruce campbell. Detroit had previously tied the score in the ninth when Campbell's single scored Metha. Tommy Bridges fanned 11 Yanks in nine innings but Archie McKain, who pitched the last {wo innings, was credited with the victory

The Red Sox did another :oldup,| ry

blowing a 7-run lead as the Vittmen triumphed, 12-11. It was Cleveland’s fifth straight over the Red Sox. Ken Keltner homered with the bases loaded in the fourth. Jimmy Foxx, who has been laid up with injuries, returned to action, but went behind the bat instead of to first base in an attempt to bolster the fading Red Sox. Pinch-hitter Russ Peters’ single drove in the two winning runs in the Vittmen's fourrun rally in the eighth. Washington slugged out a 13-5] victory over the Browns before 591 spectators, St. Louis’ smallest crowd | of the season. Ken Chase helped in| his own way with a homer with one| on and two other hits. The Philadelphia Athletics beat | the Chicago White Sox, 4-3, a Comiskey Park before 22923 persons. Wally Moses homered for the A’s in the third with one on.

In a couple of extra hole matches Harter beat Ralph Jordan on the 19th and Petrie took Tke Cummings, another home club golfer, 1 up at the same place. Petric has had the toughest time staying in the magic circle. He was forced six extra holes in the morning round before putting Charles Boswell out of the running. They both had 74's going out. Petric was 2 up at the 14th, but Boswell birdied the 15th and got a par at the 17th to go even. He missed a 25-footer at the 18th by inches and a threefooter at the second extra hole, either one of which would have ended the match. Petric almost went out of the match with a vengeance at the 22d when his tee shot hit the stairway at the side of the green, ricocheted around the boards and then bounced back into a sandtrap. He put his approach within three feet of the pin and after studying the putt for at least 10 minutes, sank it to stay in,

David Loses Ball

Harter had the same kind of marathon trouble with Bob Stevens in the morning and with Ralph Jordan in the afternoon. He took both’ matches at the 19th, winning the morning round when he canned a heartbreaking 25-footer for a birdie. David's long driving got him into trouble at the third hole of his morning round with Garbacz. He hit his drive over the hill on the 327-yard hole and the ball couldn't be found. He drove again and thought he had lost the hole because of a two-stroke penalty for lost ball. A check-up on the rules showed a local rule of a one-stroke penalty only for lost ball and the half so unnerved Garbacz that he never got onto his game.

IF CHALLEDON didn’t earn a place among great weight packers in lowering the track record for a mile and a quarter to 2:02 with 133 pounds on his back in the Hollywood Gold Cup, there is early evidence that the son of

Challenger II will be given ample opportunity to do so. Challedon now goes to Saratoga and though weight will stop a locomotive, Challedon will lug a full share . . . and then some. Challedon's perfect action helps him pack poundage. He has an abnormal 22-foot stride. A running horse is like an athlete. The athlete with perfect form doesn’t tire as quickly as one Jacking it, and isn't ih as much distress when he does. He wastes less effort.

” ” n THERE have been notable exceptions, of course, and Exterminator was the most striking in the equine field. Though Old Bones’ action was coarse and rough, he was the superdreadnaught of American thoroughbreds. He bagged a Kentucky feature with 138 pounds up, and scored repeatedly carrying from 131 to 137. Man o' War prevailed with 138, 135 and 131 as a three-year-old, and came down in front five times as a juvenile with 130 pounds on his back. Whiskbroom II bore 139 pounds when he set the questionable world record of 2:00 in the Suburban Handicap of 1913. Discovery, an in-and-outer under heavy poundage, got down in the Brooklyn Handicap at 136 pounds. Equipoise copped the Arlington Handicap carrying 135 pounds. Earl Sande booted Grey Lag home with the same figure up in the Suburban of 1923.
