ST. LOUIS, Aug. Is R.-Did
a "one-man bench" cause the
sudden and almost total col
lapse Of the Cardinals?
Stunned by a nine-game
losing streak. fans and news
men looking for the reason
have nominated Manager Fred
Hutchinson's one-man bench.
Joe Cunningham, q left
handed better from New Jersey,
has been just about the only
man Hutch could rely on for
help. Hutchinson has two
catchers-Hal Smith and Honie
Landrith. but otherwise it has
been a case Of seven Iron
Horses and Cunningham.
The Iron Horses simply have
run out Of gas.
Ten days ago the Red Birds
led both leagues in team hit
ting, had scored more runs
than any club except Cincin-
natl, and led the National
League.
Came Close Only Once
This same team has scored
only l3 runs in nine games
since then, and only once did
it come close to victory. That
was in a 4-3 defeat by the
seventh-place Cubs. who have
taken six Of the nine games in
the Cards losing streak.
On August 6 st. Louis fans
were trying to find ways Of
getting tickets to the first
World Series here in II years.
Now the club is 8l2 games out
as it opens a four-game series
at Milwaukee. and a lot Of folks
won't even talk about it.
The collapse isn't as sudden
as it sounds. The present hit
ting slump actually is IS games
old.
Some observers. aware the
Iron Horses were wearing thin,
saw it coming. While winning
IL Of l6 prior to the nosedive,
the Red Birds were scoring
barely four runs a game and
winning on great pitching.
Pressure Kept On
How did the bench get that
way? Some fans blame Gen.
