...Louis is in trouble and will have a hard time finishing higher than fifth. Manager Solly Hemus lost his best pitcher, Jones, to the Giants and has little to replace him. Vinegar Bend Mizell and Larry Jackson are only so-so and behind them, there is little besides a highly touted rookie, Ernie Broglio. Hard-hitting Joe Cunningham (.312) is set at first as is Don Blasingame at second. There is a gaping hole at short which may have to be filled with Alex Grammas, who would have trouble hitting .300 in the Little Leagues. Ken Boyer, an almost-great...

For another $100,000 they have hard-hitting Tom Alston, a first baseman and the first Negro on the Cardinal roster. And they have an impressive list of seasoned money players: Outfielder Enos Slaughter, Second Baseman Red Schoendienst, and Lefthander Harvey Haddix, not to mention...
...Eddie Stanky, manager of the St. Louis Cardinals, a rhubarb with Umpire Douglas ("Scotty") Robb over a third strike called on Cardinal Shortstop Solly Hemus. National League Boss Warren C. Giles, who saw the row, in which Robb pushed Stanky, let Eddie off with a $50 fine, tabbed Hemus for $25, then slapped Robb with a "sizable" fine "much greater than the combined fines of the players...
