If the Cardinals aren’t worrying, why should you?
Or maybe you just don’t happen to be one of the nerv
ous individuals who daily scan the lower portion of the
National League standings t
points the St. Louis larruper
It's hard to say with any degree
of confidence that the Redbirds
on th, upgrade, but Howie Pollet’s
10-inning job against Brooklyn
the other day and the moral, of
the Cards are éncouraging things
in life about St. Louis.
There is nothing physically
wrong with the St. Louis organi
gtion. collectively or individual
. save for the fact that beltin’
Stan Musial is 12 pounds under
weight.
“It would hav, been different
had one of the other clubs pulled
away while we were fumbling
around”, says Martin DMarion.
“But instead they have been
beating one another. We were
seven-and-one-half games be
hind the Brooks last July 4, when
we knew we had only the onc
club to overtake with the fron:-
running outfit being knocked off
regularly and the lead changing
hands, it should be easier for us
to get to the top this trip.”
Just like that. No fuss. No
bother. Just the top.
You don’'t have to look any
farther than the batting order to
find out th, Cards’ main ailment.
Run your famps over this:
Schoendienst, .212; Dusak, .205;
Diering, 205; Musial, .203 (! ! ! )
urowski, .259; Gargagiola, .213;
pe, .167; and Wilber, .235.
“The Cardinals themselves are
sure that they are coming.
They won seven out of their last
11 when they bumped off Brook-
Iyn in that long stretch.
Country Slaughter is hardly to
blame. He’s popping for .361.
Some of the o*her Cardmals are
going to catch up with him soon
and then, watch out, National
League.

Balloting Begins
For All-Star Game
CHICAGO, June 6-—(AP)—
Balloting by the nation’s baseball
fans for players who will start the
Fourteenth Annual All-Star Major
League game at Chicago’s Wrigley
Field July 8, opened today in a
poll conducted by 182 newspapers,
magazines and radio stations.
It was the first time since 1935
that the fans have had their own
say about All-Star selections. Both
leagues have named their own
lineups for 10 of the 13 games
played to date.
Voting for the eight top play
ers, excluding pitchers, in both
the American and National Lea
gue will contiuue in 42 states,
Canada, the District of Columbia,
Panama, Hawaii and among over
;%as troops unt'il midnight, June

The All-Star pitchers will be
picked by Manager Joe Cronin of
the Boston Red Sox, who will pilot
the American League team; and
PAT MULLIN'S 441 AVERAGE IS NO FLUKE;
TIGER HITTING .345 WHEN HURT BEFORE WAR
By Marry Grayson
NEA Sports Editor
NEW YORK-—When he woke
up one morning and heard that
Hank Greenberg had been sold to
the Pirates, the first thing Steve
O’'Neill did was catch his breath.
Then the stout manager of the
Tigers said he expected Kell,
Cullenbine, Wakefield, Mullin and
Evers to take up the slack left by
the departure of Old Hankus Pan
kus and his 44 home runs and 127
runs-batted-in.
Thus far Hoot Evers and Pat
rick Joseph Mullin have contrib
uted most toward Kkeeping the
heads of Detroit’s remarkable
pitchers above water, and the lat
ter’s early consecutive-game hit
ting streak and better than .400
batting average is no flash in the
pan. ;
Service Hurt
It was only the reputation Dick
Wakefield acquired in two war
vears and the record $55,000 he
was paid for signing that made
the Michigan alumnus’ 1946 show
ing more disappointing than that
of Mullin.
Like most other ex-Gl's, Mul
lin simply ecould not untrack
himself after four full years in
the Army.
The tall Grinder of Grind
stone, Pa., has started this season
as though he intends to make up
for lost time, which would be
quite all right with the Detroit
front office, the Tigers’ one-run
margins being too frequent to
soothe the nerves.
Mullin demonstrated that' he
Rookie Harry Taylor Hailed
As Brooklyn’s Pitching Hope
BY JACK HAND
(Associated Press Sports Writer)
Freshman Harry Taylor, whose third straight pitching
victory coincided with Brooklyn’s arrival in first place, is
hailed in Flatbush as the man who could pitch the Dodg
ers to the National League pennant. :
Pittsburgh’s Fritz Ostermueller
was his opponent yesterday. Tay
lor turned in his best effort, a
two-hit, 3-0 victory.
The triumph boosted the
Brooks into the lead because the
Giants and the Chicago Cubs,
who had been tied for first place,
split a doubleheader at the Polo
Grounds.
After Paul Erickson of the
Cubs had tamed the Giants with
three hits in a 5-1 opening
game, Mel Ott’s gang slashed
away at three Chicago throwers
for an eight-run third inning to
even matters with a 9-3 decis
ion. '
Blackwell Takes 7th
Ewell Blackwell of Cincinnat}
ran his victory total to seven by
shutting out the Phillies, 5-0,
with six hits, the Reds flatten

MANUFACTURERS SHORT CIRCUIT
SOUTHERN BELL BY 12-2 COUNT
Athens Manufacturing Company evidently found a
short circuit in the Southern Bell nine yesterday and
went on to defeat the Telephoners by a 12-2 count.
Choke’s won a forfeit game over Bell’s Food Market when
the latter was unable to field a team.
Eddie Dyer of the St. Louis
Cardinals, who will handle the Na
tional Leaguers. Cronin and Dyer
won the managerships by virtue of
piloting their teams to first place
in the 1946 pennant race.
Each newspaper, radin station
and magazine will conduct the poll
in its own manner, but all tabula
tions will be filed to the Chicago
Tribune, sponsor for the interna
tional balloting.
The eight players in each league
who receive the highest number
of ballots at ‘their positions will
get starting assignments in the
game,

Star game in 1933,

had it in him before he broke his
shoulder somersaulting over Bill
Dietrich as that pitcher covered
first base at Comiskey Park in
1941.
The Irishman had hit .245 in
54 games, answering Del Baker’s
wish for a capable replacement
for Greenberg. The next thing
he knew the Army called.
Extraordinary Arm
An extraordinary arm that help
ed make Mullin an accomplished
center fielder was left weak by the
crack-up. It is only hoped that
it will come around as did that of
l}ixic..w. who suffered a
sitnilar Falireeens s st
five-run first inning. Harry Gum
bert’s fine relief pitching enabled
the Reds to take the second
game, 6-3, for a clean sweep of
the doubleheader in which Grady
Hatton collected a total of six
hits. Cincy hopped into fifth
place on the day’s work. :
Marty Marion’s homer with
two on in the ninth enabled the
St. Louis Cardinals to pull out a
5-3 decision over Boston.

it might remain undefeated.

In addition to being a pull left
hand hitter of considerable pow
er, Mullin for all of his six feet
one-and-three-quarter inches
and 180 pounds, is one of the fast
est players of the game. He is!
so swift, in faet, that in 1941 the
Tigers wanted to match him in
a foot race with George Washing
ton Case, the Senators’ base-steal- |
ing champion. {
With Mullin and Evers break- |

pionship, leads qualifyers at the Athens Country Club
through Thursday—with three days still to go—touring
the par-72 layout in a one-over-par 73.
Qualifying for .the tournament
started last Sunday and will con
tinue through this Sunday, with a
goodly number expected to turn
in their 18-hole score over the
weekend.
Dudley registered a 39-34 for his
aggregate, that second nine being
played in two-under par. Par
figures for the par -36, long ragged
back nine at the Country Club are
5-4-3-4-4-4-5-3-4, against which
Jimmy fired a 4-4-3-4-3-4-5-3-4.

Benson is one of the club’s top
golfers arrd will undoubtedly give
someone a lot of trouble when
match play begins.
Baskin Has 76
At this writing, only one other
has a score below 80, and he is W.
O. Baskin with 76. Ed Lovett has
an 80, and Carlton N. Mell nailed
down an 81.
Other qualifyers, and their
scores:
Jack Daniel, 82; Howell Hollis,
83; W. R. Shields, 84; J. F. Ham-~

Moody, 85; Maynard Hazen, 89;
Donald Wages, 89; Ed Williams,
92; Dick Upchurch, 93, and Joe
Lewis, 104.
The top eight scores will make
up the championship flight. It's too
early to tell, but it looks like at
the present that anything below
80 will be in the select group.
However, scores turned in over the
weekend can change the entire
picture, and it will be Monday, or
late Sunday, before one can tell.
