 New York, Aug. 22-(UP)-Man- ager Billy Southworth annually does an inspiring job by keeping his Cardinals hustling, never-say-die runners-up. This year is no excep- tion. But post-season analysis may reveal that he made costly errors in handling his pitchers.
 Last season Ernie White and Howie Pollet won g games between them. White won IT and Pollet, brought up late in the year, clicked for five important decisions. But. the two young southpaws failed to find the range this season, both posting the same miserable mark of four wins against five losses.
 South apparently has been in error in sticking to the two hurlers too long as part of his regular TO- tation of starters. He's apparently quit on them now, however, and both seem through for the duration. Southworth has settled on regu- lar group of starters headed by Mort Cooper and including John- ny Beazley, Max Lanier, Harry Gumbert, Johnny Dickson and How ie KriSt.
 Southworth now has organized his team pretty we'll for the drive down the stretch. He has decided to al ternate Stan Musial and Coaker Triplett in left field Musial will work against righthanders.
 Slick Combine
 Tn second baseman Jimmy Brown and shoytstop Martin (Slats) Marion has one the hottest mid-field con- binations in the league. Brown is the team sparkplug while Marion has added 100 points to his batting average in the last three months. Johnny Hopp, although he bats eighth, is the regular first base man and George KuroWski is the third sacker. Walker Cooper does all the catching
 Terry Moore and Enos Slaughter take care of the other two outfield posts.
 / Beazley helped better one of the leagues best pitching records as the Cards trounced the Pirates, 10-2, yesterday to trim the idle Dodgers lead to 6h games. It was BeaZley's 18th victory and he allowed the Pirates only six hits. Johnny Hopp's double, driving in two runs, topped a four-run St. Louis attack in the fifth that put the game on ice and clinched their seventh straight victory and 18th in IA starts.
 A fifth-inning splurge that net ted five runs fave the Cubs a 6-3 deision over Cincinnati in the only other National league game schcd- uled. The Cubs blasted three hur..- CTS for 10 hits, taking six from Ray Starr before routing him in the fifth. Bill Lee scattered eight hits to hold the losers to two runs in the second, one of which came on an error, the other in the third.
 The Yankees opened home- stand at the stadium by belting the Senators for 21 hits and 8 17-7 triumph. The New Workers smashed Early Wynyn, the starting pitcher, for seven hits in the open ing frame. Bill Trotter, the next man, was plastered for 12 safeties in the five innings he worked. Ray Scarborough relieved in the seventh and allowed only two blows the rest of the way.
 Marius Russo made his first start since May 20 and allowed seven hits in seven innings.
 Homer "Inside'
 Scoring all their runs in the fourth, the Tigers downed the Browns, Al. Eldon Auker was the victim of fourth-frame barrage led by Barney McCosky. Barney belted an inside -the-park four baggerf with one on and Rudy York followed with his 20th circuit clout. Hal White went the route for the Tigers and allowed eight hits for his ninth win.
 Mel Harder held the White Sox to five hits as the Indians beat Thornton Lee, 3-2, last night. With the bases filled in the fifth, Lee mt Oris Hocket with pitch and forced Ray Mack in with the winning run.
 It was Harder's 10th victory and Lees third defeat since he returned to action. The Indians registered two unearned runs in the second through errors by Don Holloway and Joe Kuhel.
 Scoring three runs in the first and second innings, the Red Sox defeated the As, 7-,5, to remain 10h games behind the Yankees. The sox clinched the decision when, with two out and three on in the second, Tony Lupien cleared the sacks with a single on the hit and-run play.
