He returned to the bench and out" the closely fought contest with many of his teammates. The Cardinals made their winning touchdown 21-14 in the last four minutes on a pass. It was then that Mauldin told his coaches, Jimmy Conzclman and Phil Handler: "1 want to get back in there let me go." Those were the last words the coaches heard him siicak. Mauldin, father of a 5-year-old son, Daniel, played the last two minutes while the Cardinals. National League champions, sealed their victory.

Ho went to the dressing room with his excited and happy teammates. As he undressed, he complained of a headache. After he showered he commented: "That was a pretty nice game we won, fellows." Then he collapsed. An emergency rescue squad was summoned. They placed an oxygen mask over his face and worked over him for one hour and 20 minutes as his teammates grouped in the dressing room.

He was pronounced dead at 1:03 a.m. (CDT) l)y Dr. Sidney Portis, a heart specialist, who had been called in. Mauldin's wife, Helen, was with him when he died. Dr.

Porlis said Mauldin died of "either a hemorrhage at the base of the skull or a massive coronary attack." It was tlie first such fatality in pro football history in Chicago.

These American League leanis are In a flatfooted tie for the circuit leadership but by nightfall there will be some elbow room. The Yanks and Detroit Tigers are responsible for this thrilling situation. The Yanks slaughtered the Red Sox, 9-6, yesterday and the Tigers upset the Indians, 4-3. Boston and Cleveland began the day's activities tied for the top but now all three of the contenders boast the same 91 victories, 56 defeats. All have seven games to play.

Tlic Red Sox and Yanks go at each other again today while the Indians take on the fifth place Tigers in Detroit. Thus, at the most only two teams can share the lead come Monday morning and should the Indians bow, only one will be in the catbird seat. Jack Kramer (16-5) has drawn the starting assignment for the Red Sox against the Yanks at tiie Stadium in their second clash today. Allie Reynolds (16-61 will be on the hill for the Yanks. Kramer has defeated the Yanks three times without a loss this season while Reynolds is 2-1 against the Sox.

Billy Bobby Brown and Joe Page were the Yanks who darned the Sox before a disappointing turnout of 3.S,- 609 paid customers. Johnson, who gave way to Brown in the starting lineup, got into the game as a pinch hitter in the fifth inning and belted a three run homer. The blow, off relief and losing pitcher Earl Johnson, highlighted a four run rally that enabled the Yanks to overcome a 5-3 deficit.

Brown whaled two triples and a double, drove in two runs and scored three. His two-bagger in the fifth set up Johnson's game wrecking blast. With one down and Tommy Henr'ch al first via walk. Brown doubled to right to plate Henrich. Joe DiMaggio was intentionally walked to get al Y'ogi Berra.

Manager Bucky Harris lifted the lofthanded swinging Berra for righthanded hitting Johnson and Billy the Bull came through against his lefthanded pitching namesake. The removal of Berra paid further dividends in the seventh inning. Rookie Hank Bauer took over in the field for Berra and the recruit tripled home DiMaggio later scored the Yanks' final run in tlie lucky seventh. Page relieved starter Raschi. who was gunning his 20th win, in the two iiin Rod Sox fourth and pitched hi-illianl clutch ball the rest of the way.

Sparltcd by their dream backfield of Charlie Trippi, Paul Chrislman, Marshall Goldberg and Pat Harder, the Cards opened their season last night by beating the Philadelphia Eagles, 21-14 before 27,875 fans at Comiskey Park. The victory was marred by the death in the dressing room shortly after the game of the Cardinals' first string tackle, Stan Mauldin. Mauldin, 27, collapsed after the game and died two hours later.

Trippi, who usually carries the ball, brought the Cards victory with a last period touchdown pass that covered 64 yaixis. Tied at 14-14 in the final four minutes of play, Trippi took a hand-off, faked a wide end run and then made a leaping toss. The ball landed in the arms of Mai Kutner 31 yards away and Kutner scampered the remaining distance to pay dirt. Trippi scored the first Card touchdown in the opening period with an eight yard dash that climaxed a 64 yard drive. Christman shoved the Cards ahead, 14-0 at the outset of the second period with a 30-yard touchdown pass to Kutner.

Harder converted after each Card touchdown. The Eagles got back into the game just before halftimo when Tommy Thompson hit Jack Meyers for 31 yards and then pitched 34 to Bosh Pritchard for a touchdown. The Eagles tied the score in the first ten minutes of the thiixi period driving 60 yards in three plays with Thompson spearing Pete Pihos with a 42 yard pay-off pass. The Eagles bottled up the Cards until midway in the final period and after the Cards broke the deadlock and after the Cards broke the deadlock the Eagles started another drive that reached the Card 21 before it stalled.
