He singled three times in three official times In the nightcap. Mooser in the period, and the 3-3 tie continued until the seventh Inning, when two hits and three walks gave last-place Pirates.

St. Louis pitching, the club's biggest question mark from the very start of spring training, has left a lot to be desired. Manager Stanky has been using Harvey Haddix. Gerry Staley and Vic Raschl. Then he closes his eyes, pulls a name out of the hat and hopes.

At one time or another everybody except Raschi. the $75,000 acquisition from the New York Yankees, has been blasted. Seven times the Cardinals rivals have scored 10 or more runs. No wonder Poholsky, fresh from two years in the Army, looks good. While the pitching has been shaky, the hiting has been amazing.

The team batting average is .295 and five of the regulars are over .300, topped by Ray Jablonski at .374 and Stan Musial at .367, top men in the league. Even Poholsky got into the hit i Br BEX PRLEGAR AP Spirts Writer Can the St. Louis Cardinals keep tip their tremendous hitmg long enough for Eddie Stanky to find out if he finally has solved his pitching problems? If they can, the skin-tight National League pennant race may soon start coming apart at the seams. The Cardinals arrived home from the East today, a game and a half in front of the nearest of the closely bunched contenders. On the road they won 9 of 14 games, including a 17-4 runaway at Pittsburgh last night.

Of even more importance to the Cards was the blossoming of Tom Poholsky as a starting pitcher. The big right-hander was used twice on the trip. He lost a 1-0 heartbreaker in Brooklyn, where he allowed only three hits. And he went the distance again last night against the the kind of material he needs for a winning team. Of this he says: "Texas high school football is the greatest anywhere.

There's plenty of material. Never in my career have I been so close to so many fine prospects, and at the same time had so much competition in getting them. There's six Southwest Conference schools in the state, plus a dozen other schools, competing'for the boys." Because of this competition and because is an al-male military college that doesn't particularly appeal to pampered athletes, nobody blamed Ray George too much when his team, manages to win only one conference game a year. There were some rumors of a change bouncing around before George quit in January "to enter private busines." But many observers figured Ray was too poplar to fire and that athletes regulations and 'treat 'em rough" Such factors don't bother a guy who was tough enough to wrestle a Bear back home in Arkansas. That's how Bryant got his nickname.

"Bear" just moved in with a staff of assistants from Kentucky and went out to look over a few prospective students. "As far as this being a military school, we think that's an Bryant says. "In our opinion, there are lots of boys who like this kind of school and we think an education comes first. The military training a boy receives here is much more valuable than he would receive in any ROTC schol. "This school has more spirit and traditions than- a dozen others.

That's one of the things that' im-presed us so when Kentucky played here two years ago. The boys carried my boys off the field after Kentucky had beaten The twelfth mai. they tall it. You can't see it but you surely can feel it." Blinded Oral Miller Sparks Princeton Rowing Combine at bat, sacrificed once and drove in four runs. Musial drove in four with his 13th home run and a triple.

The Cardinals scored six runs in the first inning, one in the fourth, seven in the seventh and three in the eighth for their high est total of the season. Even though they lead the league by a game and a half, the Card! nals are all even in the "games lost" column with the seventh- place Chicago Cubs. The Cubs have lost 14 of 28, the Cardinals 14 of 33.

Each aggregation registered one counter By GAYLE TALBOT NEW YORK, May 21 UftThe greatest problem faced by any baseball manager is a highly personal one that of trying to superintend the after-hours activities of the group of high-spirited and talented young colts who have been entrusted to his care with the object of winning a pennant. The successful manager is the one who solves this delicate problem in human relationships, who knows when to bend a little in the cases of certain of his athletes who can 'break training" with a minimum of harm and to crack down hard on those who cannot.

The manager who is an absolute martinet, who lays down stringent rules and enforces them inflexibly against all hands, will end up with a sore-headed ball club rooted in the second division. The one who tries to be buddies with his boys and puts them on their honor to keep in shape as a certain freshman manager did some years ago will fall on his face just as surely. There is, in other words, a very delicate balance. The best of the managers seem to strike it sort of instinctively. Some never do, and that is why, more than any other reason, there is such a steady Cleveland ...20 10 .667 New York ..19 11 .633 1 Detroit 16 10 .615 2 Chicago 19 13 .594 2 Baltimore ...12 15 .444 64 Washington .10 18 .357 9 Philadelphia 10 19 .345 94 Boston 8 18 .292 10 Bob Lennon Needed 1 More Long One To Set New Homer Record In Southern cles that might seem Insuperable to anyone else." In the beginning of his crew experience.

Miller, who has an ex cellent sense of timing, had diffi culty in determining the position of his nine-pound oar during the stroke cycle. Freshman Coach Peter Gardner solved the problem by nailing a thin, four-inch long piece of half-round wood to the oar's handle. The position of the strip of wood in Miller's hand tells him whether the blade is squared away properly. Schoch says Milller's determination and hard work has earned "a great deal of respect -and admiration." The Kentuckian knows the campus and crew facilities inside out. He receives no special attention.

Schoch adds. "Miler has made a great contribution to Princeton sports. He is a real, regular fellow." "After all." Miller says, "my only handicap is that I just can't see. Decathlon Grind Opens At Memphis MEMPHIS.

Some 20 stars from over the state were entered. There are 10 tests of strength, speed and agility. The winner will be the athlete whose performance in each test piled up the most total points. The youngsters were up against the 10 and 440 yard runs, the broad jump, high jump and shot-put today. Tomorrow they'll run the high hurdles, throw the discus.

An owner, speaking honestly and privately, almost always wil tell you he fired his manager because 'he "let the players get away from him." Granny Hamner of the Phils has no real reason to feel liverish just because he discovered that his employers' were having him tailed. It's been going on as long as we've been around the game, and doubt-les long before that. Every player we've ever heard discuss this facet of the great national pastime knew he was subject to a certain amount of surveillance during the late hours and accepted it along with his salary check. While we have long heard of clubs, usually at the manager's request, hiring private eyes to check up on their athletes in exceptional cases, the normal state is for the manager and his coaches to take care of the chore, themselves.

Usually one of the coaches is known privately among the players as the club's 'policeman."

COLLEGE STATION, Texas', May 21 As a football coach, 40-year-old Paul "Bear" Bryant has managed to get around to a good many places. Most of the spots have been tough, but "Bear" achieved success and popularity in every one.

For that reason he isn't afraid of moving into a rather difficult position at Texas A. M. He's professionally pessimistic about his team's chances next fall in the rugged Southwest Conference probably with good' reason. Nobody is rating the Aggies very highly, though few agree with Bryant's statements that he doesn't "figure" to win a game. Texas which compares favorably in size with most other Southwest Conference colleges, has had more than its share of troubles and less than its share of good players in recent years.

Bryant's first big job is to get Fulton Rips Jackson 17-8 For No. 16 Although outhitting the opposition, the Jackon Generals dropped their 16th consecutive defeat of the 1954 season Thursday night as Fulton rapped the locals, 17-8, at Municipal Park. The Generals and Lookouts conclude their three-game series here tonight, at 7:30. On Saturday night Jackson will play at Madisonville. Jackson is within two games of tying Paducah's record of having lost the most consecutive games in one season 18.

In last night's contest, the Generals rapped 14 hits while Fulton was garnering but 13, but the losers took advantage of 12 walks and five enors to pile up their winning margin. The Lookouts totaled most of their run 3 in the first and seventh innings. Six markers crossed the platter in the first and seven in the sventh. Every regular hit for Fulton and every one except the pitcher scored at least one run. Paul Abraham led the Lookout attack with a single and a double in six at bats and Johnny Marr cracked two singles in three tries.

Harry Arterburn and Malcolm Melton each whacked three singles for the Generals. Jackson's Manager Lou Lucas, sidelined with an injured leg, sent four pitchers to the hill in an attempt to halt the Fultonites, but only Vahce Byrd was effecive. He struck out four and gave up but one run (unearned) in the final two innings. Joe Tancabel did all right for Fulton as he kept Jackson hits scattered and coasted behind his big lead. An attendance count midway in the contest showed but 64 fans had braved the chlling winds to watch the game.

But the husky junior from Ashland, oeupies a special niche in the regard of everyone connected with Princeton sports. Miller is blind.

He became "one of the gang" oh the crew by achieving the precision and teamwork required in the exacting sport by competing with more fortunate, seeing oarsmen. Blinded in bis early grammar school days, the 21-year-old honor indent is the first blind athlete to repsesent old Nassau in its century-long history of intercollegiate competition. Miller heard about rowing in his freshman year at Princeton and decided to try out for a spot on the crew. He appeared at the Carnegie Lake boathouse more than a month later than the other crew hopefuls because of a fractured ankle sustained as a heavyweight freshman wrestler. However.

Miller developed so rapidly that he earned a berth as a freahman spare on a trip to Syracuse. N. for the Intercollegiate Rowing Assn. Regatta. He rowed in two races this spring.

In spite of the delayed start. Coach Delos C. (Dutch) Schoch recalls. "Miller came along as fast as any member of a freshman squad which included a number of experienced schoolboy oarsmen. "He soon proved his strength and physical staying power and, best of all.

The 25 -year -old centerfielder, who takes a vicious upercut swing, slammed three homers last night in Nashville's Sulphur Dell as the Vols won a 9-6 slugging contest from Mobile. The only time Mobile retired Lennon was in the third when he towered a long fly that was caught Just before Lennon whacked his third circuit blow, he drilled a ball ever the right field screen, but a few feet foul.

Lennon's tnree homers gave him a tie with 15 others instead of a new record. He now is tied with Atlanta's Bob Montag for the home run lead with 13. Norm Larker of Mobile also was a handy man with a bat, banging a homer, double and two singles in five trips. The performance brought his total for the two game series to nine hits in eleven trips to the plate. New Orleans chilled Chattanooga's hot streak by taking a doubleheader 3-0 and 7-6, the latter a 12-inning affair.

The double loss, coupled with Birmingham's 7-4 victory over Memphis, dropped the Lookouts 2Vz games behind the pace-setting Barons.

Blend said that another work day is planned Saturday to complete wiring of the backstop and to rush work on the diamond which is far from being ready for play. Unskilled labor will be our biggest need tomorrow, he stressed. Blend praised the Jaycees, particular the new club members, for their excellent turnouts on Wednesday and Thursday nights and noted that a tremendous amount of work had been accomplished in those two periods under the lights.
