Mofor6 may not be names you'll
find in a kids autograph book,
but you can be sure they lulled
Eddie Stanky into a nice restful
sleep last night.
Not that Stanky hasn't been
sleeping well of nights, but after
what those four righthanders
did to the New York Yankees
yesterday the little boss of the
st. Louis Cardinals must have
dozed right off.
The four unknowns clamped

up only an infield single while
the Cards were clubbing out a

the inf1eld. all easy flies.
That comforting opening OF
the exhibition season should
have been particularly pleasing
for Eddie after what he went
through last spring in the Ma
tional League. He thought he
was loaded for bear with a pitch
ing staff based on Harvey Had
dix, Gerry Staley, Vic Raschi and
Stu Miller-but he went seven
games into the season before he
found a pitcher who could go
nine innings.
Turley Clubbed by Cardinals
In the process, he lost four of
the first six games and used IS
pitchers.
Paul Richards also should have
had an untroubled sleep last
night off the Cardinals perform
ance. It was Bob Turley-the
young right-hander he traded
off to the Yanks much to the
disappointment of Baltimore
fans-who got in the way of the
Cards bats.
Stanky started bunch of
rookies-Stan MuSial was the
only regular in the opening line
up-and they all had that hungry
look. They dubbed Turley for
five runs in the second and two
in the third. Bob gave up eight
hits in the process.
The four Cardinals rockies
weren't the only hurlers who
got off to a good start, but there
weren't many more.
Boston slammed IL hits and
Washington 10 in a game won
by the Red Sox, 6-3; Cincinnati
and the Chicago White SoX
stroked the same number as the
White Sox won, 1917; Pittsburgh
got Is and the new Kansas City
Athletics IL before the Pirates
won. 9-8, in 10 innings, and the
Chicago Cubs outhit Cleveland,
1879. but lost, 81.
Kluszewski's Lip Cut.
Ted Kluszewski, Cincinnati
first baseman, received a cut lip
when hit by a thrown ball in the
game with the White Sox.
Kluszewski left the game but
Trainer Wayne Anderson said
he would be able to play today.
No stitches were necessary.
The big first baseman was hit
when a pickoff throw from
Catcher Andy Seminick bounced
off the arm of the base runner.
Joe Hicks, a rookie outfielder,
in the fourth inning.
In another game Brooklyn
caught up with Milwaukee, 80,

beat Detroit, AZ.

Lepcio had three hits, including
