35486 which produced 176302 for war relief waa fairly settled in Its cramped hard seats The Garda kept It up drove Jakucki to hia bath after thsea innings and showed a similar disrespect for the old

The other Chrdlnal run came In the sixth off Hollingsworth Sanders singled to center and Slats Marion doubled him home The Cards should have scored several mere times after that but were checked aggressively by bad base running For instance in the eighth Inning they failed to score In face of the fact that Litwhiler singled Hopp singled and Musial doubled before a man was out Litwhiler was out at second trying to stretch his single far beyond Its' natural resiliency With the bases filled -and two outs Mike Kreevich went back to the cents rfield flagpole to haul down Whitey Kurowski's 1
