Primarily a bull pen operative last | year and at the outset of this sea- son, Staley has been going great guns since given a starter’s role on May 28. The Brush Prairie, Wash., native has found his side arm sink- | er ball and sweeping curve especiai- 1y puzzling to the New York Giants. | Staley pitched the Cards to with-] in a half-game of the National League’'s league-leading Brooklyn . Dodgers last night, beating the| Ciants, 7-2, in St. Louis. The; Dodgers were idie. The triumph was staley's fifth of the season and his third over the once powerful Giants who occupy fifth place. " Staley began the game boasting a : streak of 13 2/3 consecutive score- | less innings over the Polo Ground- | ers. He ran the skein to 18 2/3 be- fore the Giants solved his offerings for two runs in the sixth mnm, But the Cardinals already had the game in the bag. The Cards nicked Monte Kennedy fer a run in the first and drove the young lefty to cover with four more in the third. Doubles by Red Schoendienst and Nippy Jones plus Enos Slaughter’s triple featured the uprising. Braves Crawl Up Boston's third place Braves crawl- ed to within two games of the Dodgers, edging the Chicago Cubs, 3-2, in the major's lone day game. Eddie Fletcher singled home Ed Stanky from second base in the ninth inning with the winning run. Vern Bickford went all the way to gain his ninth victory. The fourth place Philadelphia Phillies, behind the seven-hit pitch- ing of Russ Meyer, turned back the | Pirates, 7-1, in Pittsburg despite Ralnh Kiner’s homer. American League The New York Yankees increased their American League iead to four games over the runner-up Detroit ‘Tigers. The Yanks beat the St. Louis Brown, 4-1, in the Stadium,|to be tallied as of noon. | while the Tigers lost, 6-1, to the Red Sox in Boston. Fred Sanford, - pried from the Browns for $100,000 in the fall, lim- ited his former mates to seven hits. Walt Masterson, recently obtain- ed from Washington, and Joe Dob- son halted the Tigers on six blows while the Sox collected 14 off a trio of Detroit pitchers. Matheson left in the seventh, complaining of a sore elbow.
