CARDS JUMP
INTO FIRST
PLACE HOW
I
What's wrong with this picture?
Tom Poholsky pitches St. Louis
Cards into first place — New York j
Giants sink into cellar with seventh |
straight loss.
This is the year the weary old i
Cards were supposed to fade away
Wasnt their fifth place finish c!
last year the tipoff? With Mana i.
Marty Marion on the inactive lie.. I
they were sure to be left in the j
starting gate.
Pennant talk flooded the C:
training camp at St. Petersburg
Leo Durocher had each of hi
pitchers go the route in two prac
tice games to get ready for a fa:;
start.
Can't Do Anything
But nothing is sure in baseball as ’
Giant fans sadly are discovering. |
Nothing Durocher dot work- The |
hitters don’t hit, the fielder.-, don’t |
field. Even his ace, Larry Jansen, j
has lost his last two starts.
There is near panic in the Polo !
Grounds. •
And St. Louis reflects enthusiasm |
for the 2-hit complete same pitch
ing of Poholsky. Max Lanier and
Harry Brechen who have allowed
the enemy a total of two runs in
the last 27 innings.
Poholsky vindicated Marion’s
judgment last night with his two
hit 4-0 shutout of Pittsburgh.
Giants Snuffed Out
Ken Heintzelman snuffed out
Giants in the pinches to pitch Phil
adelphia past New York, 2-1.
Although Larry Jansen pave up j
only five hits, the Phils took full j
advantage of them. Richie A:-h- j
burn’s single following Eddi Wait- '
kus’ leadoff double in the first j
brought a run. Hamner’s double j
drove in Del Ennis who -sngled in i
the fourth.
The old home run hall, a Brook- 1
lyn Dodger hoodoo for years, rose ,
up again to cost them a ball game.
Sam Jethroe hit one into the seats
with one on and two out in the
ninth for a 6-5 edge over Reliefer
Clyde King. Just like Sid Gordon
did the day before in an earlier
inning off Reliefer Carl Erskine.
Two Run Homer
Ted Kluszewski, deep in an early
spring slump, snapped out of it with
a two-run homer in the eighth for
Cincinnati’s 4-3 edge over the Chi
cago Cubs.
Spec Shea, New York Yankee star
of 1947, was the big news in the
American League with a four-hit,
4-0 shutout of Philadelphia. The
j big righthander walked five but left
10 A's stranded.
The Chicago White Sox split two
with St. Louis, winning 8-6 but los
ing 7-4 in the second game. The
Browns had lost 13 straight, includ
in''. nine spring exhibitions, to the
So; before they won the second
11or reliefer Ned Carver.

IN SIXTH
WIN, ROW
By Associated Press
Portland has shaken off a five
game losing streak and the Beavers
today are two games ahead of the
pack in the Pacific Coast league
race.
Bill Sweeney’s boys scored four
runs in the first inning against San
Francisco last night and edged the
last-place Seals, 5 to 3. Joe Brovia’s
homer accounted for two of the tal
lies.
Oakland nosed out Sacramento,
6 to 5, and Seattle turned back Hol
lywood again, 8 to 3. Wet grounds
halted Los Angeles and San Diego.
Chesty Chet Johnston, San Fran
cisco pitcher, started off wildly
against Portland.
Seattle’s victory over Hollywood
was the sixth in a row for Manager
Rogers Hornsby’s team. Marv Gris
som pitched his fifth victory of the
season. Vic Lombardi, w'ho started
for the Stars, was batted out in
the sixth as the Rainiers launched
a four-run rally.
Seattle scored two runs in the
first inning without a hit. An error
and two walks filled the bases, and
George Vico then drove a long fly
to center on which George Schmees
fell down in making the catch. Re
sult: Emil Verban scored easily from
third and Jim Rivera, who tagged
up at second, came all the way
home. Schmees homered in the
sixth with George Genovese aboard.
