Gerry Staley and Vic Raschi, the big three, have each come up with only one complete game so far this season as the Cardinals have won 10 and lost 10 The purchase price, in the event the Cards decide to keep Scheib, was not disclosed.

The Cardinals also released utility infielder Pete Castiglione after all clubs in both leagues had passed waivers on him. Castiglione, 31, who had failed to hit in five trips to the plate this season, was acquired from Pittsburgh last season and had been used as a defensive replacement for third baseman Ray Jablonski in late innings of close games.

This was the situation as the second-place Tigers invaded Comm is key Park at Chicago for a three-game series.

Two victories in the three games would push the Tigers into first place.

Steve Gromek and Billy Hoeft of Detroit will go against Sandy Consuegra and Billy Pierce 2-3 Like Old Times Not since the golden days of 1950 have the Tigers had a fight for first place on their hands.

recall they did quite well that year until the September stretch run, when they fizzled out and the New York Yankees won the second of their five straight pennants, Detroit and Red Sox have played the fewest games in the major leagues this apiece. Pittsburgh, for example, has played 22 times in the National League.
