MONDAY, JULY 25, 1949 CARDS GO TO T0P SPOTIN That Man Musial Responsi- ble for 14-1 Blast Over Dodgers on Sunday By JOE REICHLER If you value your lfe don't dare mention to a Brooklyn roote that Stan Musial is having an of! year. Should you Le lucky enough to be conscious when he gets througl with you, he'll painstakingly piove that the only reason that St. Lo Cardinals are in first place toua: is that they own title to Stan (the Man) Musial. You may argue that Musial, hit- ting only .299, is far below hi normal batting gait. The Brcoklyn fan will counter with a blow-by blow description of Musial's one man wreckage of Dodger pitching this year. He'll first point out that Stan was the kig gun in the Cards’ 14-1 blasting of the Dodgers yesterday which shet them into the leaguc lead by a half game over the Brooks. In that game, Musial com- pleted a batting cycle—a sinzle, double, triple and home run. He also batted in four runs. The fan will recount from pain- ful memory the 24 hits in 53 times at bat that Musial has collected against Dodger pitching, which adds up to a 453 batting mark At Ebbets Field, his average is 2 coo! .533. Tre New York Yankees rallied gamely to come from behind and defeat the Detroit Tigers, 6-3, in 11 innings. As a result Cleveland’ and 5-2 sweep of a double- -5 header from Washington cut only: a half game from the Yankees margin which is now four games The third place Boston Red Sox dropped eight and half lensths oft the pace, dividing a doubleheader with the St. Louis Browns. The Browns eked out a 9-8 victory in the opener. Jack Kramer gained his first victory of the year aAsl W L ‘ the Red Sox won the second, 8-4. |[St. Louis 54 36 9“.'
