Pitcher McCulloch never made the Cardinals' bench, but Newsman McCulloch did. When he went up from Dallas to report this week's cover story on August Anheuser Busch Jr., he had a chance to watch the Cards' workout from the bench, courtesy of Owner Busch. While there, a front-office man told him that the Cards had in their files an old scout report on him. It said: fast but wild; watch.

It was all too mild and mellow for Cardinal President August Anheuser Busch Jr. Last week he fired Stanky, gave his job to Harry ("The Hat") Walker, onetime National League batting champion (in 1947 with .363), who has spent the past three seasons managing the Cardinals' Rochester Red Wings of the Triple-A International League...
