...Though few experts picked St. Louis for the pennant at season's start, Manager Red Schoendienst's Cardinals were clearly the class of the league, soaring home with a huge 1(H game lead and the kind of statistics fans like to brag about-a .263 team batting average and five pitchers with wins in double figures.
