CARDINALS COMING UP WITH WINS By JACK HAND Watch the St. Louis Cardinals go, now that Stan Musial and Enos Slaughter have started to hit. The Red Birds probably can’t win the pennant, but they definitely | don’t belong down in sixth or seventh place. When the Cards limped home from the East, Musial was slumping and Slaughter was so tad he had been benched for a few games. Home cooking and morning prac- tice at Sportsman's Park fixed that. In 10 games at St. Louis, Musial hit .316, batted in eight runs -and tmashed three homers. Slaughter did even better with a .352 average for the home stand and nine more RBI's. Both Musial and Slaughter hit home runs last night in the Cards’ 13-6 victory over Pittsburgh. It was| the third straight for the rejuven- ated Birds and their fourth in the last five games. Ralph Kiner got his 10th home run of the season for the Pirates to go one up on Johnny Mize. CARDS-PHILLIES TIED St. Louis’ victory in the only Na- tional League game moved them irto a fifth-place tie with the Phil- lies. When rain washed out the New York Yankee-Detroit game, both the Boston Red Sox and Washing- ton Senators gained a half-game on the leaders. Now five back of the Yanks, the Red Sox made it six out of eight since their return to Fenway Park by dumping the St. Louis Browns, 7-5. An error by Eddie Pellagrini and a close play at second base helped them score four unearned ! runs. Mel Parnell failed to go the route; for the first time in eight starts, giving way to Tex Hughson, the eventual winner, when the Browns went out front temporarily in the three-run eighth. Ted Williams singled with the Lases loaded in the eighth to drive in the winning runs off loser Ned Garver. CLEVELAND LOSES +Cleveland closed its disastrous Eastern tour by bowing to Wash- ington, 5-4, in a game called after the {irst of the eighth to permit toth teams to make a train con- nection. The world champs lost 7 tc 9 in the East and 10 of 12 since leaving home. Gene Bearden, world series hero in '48, failed to go the route for the fifth straight time. The lefthanded knuckler was mauled for tive runs in less than three innings, although Larry Doby gave him a two-run working margin with his sixth Lemer in the first. Mickey Haefner, who stopped the Indians with one hit May 10, scat- tered seven hits for his fourth vic- tory. He has trimmed the Tribe 17 times in 25 starts during his major league career. i Al Evans led the Scnators attack i with four singles. The other Major League clubs were not scheduled. 1 LEADERS IN B.

Hill waltzed off with medalist honors in the thirty-tirst tourna- ment yesterday by touring the 6,677-yard Hermitage Country Ciub layout in four-under-par 87 for a 36-hole qualifying score of 136— two strokes over the medal record. Only twice since they started| giving the Alex Smith Memorial award in 1931 to the PGA medalist has the star who carded the best score in the qualifying play man- aged to take home the crown at the close of match competition. Olin Dutra turned the trick in 1032. Byron Nelson, co-medalist with | Johnny Revolta in 1945, also was around at the finish. . A single stroke behind Hill in the . wild scramble for medalist laurels was slammin’ Sammy Snead, the long-driving Masters champion from White Sulphur Springs, W. Va, Snead played the back nine in three-under-par 32 yesterday for a 36-hole total of 137. Another unknown like Hill, How- ard Schmidt, of Chino, Calif., fin- 1shed the qualifying with a 138 as did Clayton Heafner of Charlotte, N.C., and Joknny PaMmer of Badin, N.C. George Fazio of Conshohocken, Pa., had a 139. Today's first round of match play included 64 players with quali- fying 36-hole scores of 149 or bet- ter. Three of them, including Hor- ton Smith of Detroit, had to earn| their berths in.a “sudden death” playoff involving six players. After 32 matches this morning and 16 this afternoon, the field will be reduced to 16 aces who will fight it out in 36-hole matches until the champicn is crowned Tuesday afternoon. B..B.

RAINIERS WIN Heinz Becke doubled in the 12thj inning at Oakiand to score’ two runs and give his Seattle Rainiers a 6 to 4 win over the Oaks.
