By FRANCIS STANN

and is giving it the all-out effort in left
field. Not that Stan hasn't always put out
100 percent; it's just that this season he's
trying one more new philosophy
Ball players who are in the process of
growing old are apt to confuse themselves
as much as they BATTLE their idolators. For
example, Musial few seasons ago felt that
it would be easier on his aging legs if he
forgot about playing the outfield and con-
centrated on first base
Managers have big say in these de-
cisions. STAINS boss in Sc was Fred Hutchin-
son, who briefly agreed that Musial would
last longer at first base. But such were the
circumstances, as the season unfolded, that
Hutch had to alternate Stan between first
base and the outfield.
MuSial is model athlete. He has a
high intelligence quota, lives cleanly, and
spends much of his off-season debating
the best way he can last little longer as
ball player.
Thus when he next reported for spring
training and announced that what re-
manned of his future was as an outfielder

flighty.
I'VE GOT TO CONDITION myself
gradually" Stan explained in ST. Ironic-
ally, he played more first base in 1957-6O
than perhaps ever before, although his
average the last three years dipped-.255
.275, .288.
This spring at St. Petersburg, Fla,
Stan showed up with a new manager and
new philosophy. Bill Whites the best
ballplayer on the club" MuSiaI declared,
land he's the first baseman. I'm Just one
of the outfielders--no longer a first base
man-and this time I'm going to pretend
that every day is a cut-down day and I
may not stick"
Nov I've heard everything" joShed
Joe Garagiola, the ex-Card who turn
coated into radio-TV personality "Musial
worrying about cut-down date!! Hah!"
ITS not anything so drastic" Keane
explained. What Musial means is that he's
going all-out from opening day. If he lasts
for 100 games, fine. If it's for only IS
games, that's okay, too. What he's trying
to do is what the Cardinals as a whole are
trying to do-go as far as possible in the
shortest time"
To those who wagered a bob or two
on the Cards at long odds: Any complaints

NlM LOSE OR DRAW
Cardinals Finally Get
Fast Start From Gate

WHAT THE ST. LOUIS CARDINALS
haven't been able to do in recent years is
break out of the starting gate. They have
been woefully prone to stumbling from the
barrier and generally managing to elimi-
nate themselves in the opening weeks
Whether by act of Providence or other
wise, there is evidence today that certain
corrections have been made in this respect.
The Cards, under Manager Johnny Keane,
are moving better They seem to have
picked up where they left off last July,
when they began to play the best ball in
the National League.
1t mattered little in 81 that the Cards
played 47-33 ball after Keane succeeded
Solly Hemus on July 6. BY mid-season they
were 151a games back and out of it.
And it was the same story in go and in
other seasons. Two years age the Cards
managed to fall 8l2 games behind by as
early as May is. True, they made great
run at the league-leading Pirates in August,
but they had given away too great lead,
like Garry Back often does on the race
track.
THE RAP AGAINST the Cards as
potential flag-winners is that they are
squad of small skills They have no over
powering craftsmen like Willie Mays and
Orlando Cepeda of San Francisco
Keane, the graying little career man who
declared his club in the race during spring
training, discounts the validity Of this
argument.
IF the so-called small skills are not
important" Johnny asked, "how come the
Pirates and Reds won the last two pen
nantsp As a matter of fact, who rules
whether the skills are large or small? Is
there anybody greater than Stan Musial?"
This is an appropriate time, come to
think of it, to dwell on Musial. AS much
or more than any other Cardinal, Stan is
responsible for the fast getaway. And,
don't forget, he's Al years old and he hasn't
batted 800 for the last three years
Musial has been Mr. Wonderful so far.
He murdered Casey Stengels Nets in the
Cards opener with 3-for-3 day, including
a double and a couple of RBI. When he
scored a run in the second game of the
season it was his 1,86Oth, breaking Mel
Otis record for the National League.
HE Is HITTING in the neighborhood
of 500, which is very good neighborhood,

Ramos stoFarn1

CLEVELAND, April 16 (AP)
Its going to take awhile be-
fore the Cleveland Indians get
any dividends out of that trade
that brought them Pitcher Pete
Ramos.
The club announced yester-
day that Ramos is being sent
to Jacksonville of the Interna-
tional League to get in shape
He is overweight and rusty. Pete
will pitch in one exhibition
game for Jacksonville at its
Kissimmee. Fla. training camp,
and then probably rejoin the
Indians Friday.
The 26-year-old righthander
has pitched only 13 innings this
spring. He had been a holdout
for Minnesota before the trade
which sent him to Cleveland for
irst Baseman Vic Power and
Pitcher Dick Stigman.
