It is high time for someone
to introduce Howard (Spud)

for the st. Louis Cardinals is
one of the most remarkable IN
the big shows victories and
one defeat spread over four sea-
sons.

body was agog about Whit Wy
att, Kirby Higbe, Thorton Lee,
the comeback of Lefty Gomez
and the promise of HOWE Po.-
let, but Krist Won 10 games
without a loss in 1941 and ne
has won two more without a loss
in l94l and he has won two
more without a setback this sea-
son.
WHIPS CUBS
Krists speciality is relief and
il was in this role that he
earned his second success yes
terday as the Cardinals curbed
the Chicago Cubs 81 in ten
innings.
For seven sCoreless innings
the game was a pitching strug-
gle between Max Lanier and
Vern Olsen, making his first
start since breaking two fingers
on his pitching hand during the
Cubs Spring training.
Terry Moore broke the spell
with a homer in the eighth and
the Cubs came roaring back in
the ninth to tie the score.
Three men singled, one run
was in and two were out when
Krist strolled to the mound. He
promptly forced Olsen to pop
to shortstop Martin Marion.
Then in the tenth Enos Slaughter
and Coaker Triplett knocked in
two st. Louis runs and Krlst
checked the Cubs although Civ
ing up a single and a walk.
