FOR CARDS
BY JACK HAND

HOWE Pollet, who peddles insur-
ance for skipper Eddie Dyer in the
winter, is selling many National

the st Louis Cards.
The slim lefthanded pitcher is

fine 1875 record that makes him
top winner in the league. Dyer has
Eeen criticized freely for trimming
alcng with his veteran players Pol
let, because he showed nothing in
1947 and only fair stuff last sea-
son, was an open target. Eddie
never gave up on Howard, who
pitched for him back in his old
Texas League days at Houston.
Knowing that Brooklyn already
had protected its lead by whacking
Cincinnati in an afternoon game,
lis, Pollet took the hill last night
in Philadelphia. A win was a must
for the Birds.
1t went down to the seventh with
no score until Pollets single drove
home Eddie KAYAK who had walked
Joe Garagiola's single had moved
KAYAK around into scoring position.
That was all the scoring OF an
ether 10 game.
Another veteran Cardinal of the
old pennant-winning days, Enos
Slaughter, robbed the Phils of two
scoring chances with sensational
catches on Richie Ashburn and
Willie Jones.
Brooklyns lead remained at IL
games because the Dodgers helped
Den NeWcombe ho-ble home to
his seventh win with homers by
Tommy Brown, Roy Campanella
and Jackie Robinson.

declaration which proposes civil
rights and freedom for all peoples,
but added that "they did not vote
