Casey Stengel is a sweet man as

to go out and throw to the hitterS.
He thought that Raymond would

and Gus Mancuso and others who

Ihere is an omlnOuS quiet in the
st. Louis Cardinal stands these
days, the quiet that might be COM
pared to lull before the storm.
The Cardinal followers watched
their favorites take three success
sive shellackings from Pittsburgh
in the opening series OF the season.
They saw 10 Cardinal pitchers take
paStings. They saw a usually dan
eerous hitting squad, suddenly be-
come docile. And they noticed a
lack of the fire that has made
the st. Louis Cards the most color
ful team in baseball.
True the breaks have been against
the Cardinals in the opening series.
Pepper Martin was called home by
the illness of his daughter and
Ducky Medwick is on the sidelines
with iumbago
Unter ordinary circumstance the
Card followers would probably take
these things into consideration. But
the circumstances are far from or
binary in the ST. Louis camp.
In the first place the Cardinals
traded Johnny Rizzo to Pittsburgh.
dangerous pennant contender.
Rizzo hit six times in l2 trips
against the Cardinals and drove in
the winning runs in two games.
Then, of course, there's the Dizzy
Dean episode. Dean won his first
start with the Cubs to make the
need for first class pitcher in st.
Louis more obvious.
st, Louis fans are usually a pref
ty lenient crowd. They've SUD-
ported the Browns for many sea
sens, despite the fact the American
leaguerS have never won a pennant.
But when the Cardinals made two
trades, which obviously have weak
ened the club, the st. Louis fans
became a bit upset. And there is
nothing quite SO bad as an upset
