 New York, July T--tUP)-One out in the eighth, and only five men to go and Tom Sunkel, Card :nals' rookie southpaw who had ap- peared in only eight major league games and had never pitched a corrl- plete one, would have barged into the hall of fame with a no-hit game against the Giants yesterday.
 But Tom Hafey, Giants rookie third baseman recently recalled from Jersey City, spoiled sunkel's bid with @ ground single to right. Then Burgess Whitehead hit into a double play. With two out in the ninth, Billy Jurges, who returned to the New York lineup after a To-day suspension for engaging in fight and splitting duel with umpire George Magerkurth, got another single. With two on then Sunkel famed Mel Ott to close out the two-hitter, his first complete major league game.
 In three previous starts Sunkel had never been able to finish, al- though he received credit for a vic- tory over the Phillies in Q night game recently with some aid from other Cardinal moundsmen. The Cards pounded IA hits off 0umbert and Schumacher for a 1O-0 triumph. Tom Padgett hit two doubles and single, driving in four St. Louis runs.
