Like inveterate gamblers, St. Louis ball fans keep coming back to Busch Stadium even though they are losing. The Cardinals are the only team in town, and the muggy Midwestern summer is never so dismal that it cannot be brightened by the sight of Stan Musial at the plate or the pleasure of second-guessing hard-luck Manager Eddie Stanky. For a few weeks this spring, the bleacher jockeys even got a kick out of razzing Rookie Wally Moon in the outfield. "Where's Enos?" they would yell. Did that lanky, crew-cut college boy really think he could...
...batting eye sharp. Manager Stanky was so impressed that he never thought of sending Wally back to the minors. But taking Slaughter's place was a tough spot. Wally kept badgering old hands like Musial and Schoendienst for advice. In the field, he made few mistakes. At the plate, he started belting out base hits steadily. His current average: .331. "Here it is August," says Second Baseman Schoendienst, "and I think I have a shot at the batting championship, but I wouldn't be surprised if Moon beats out all of us-Duke Snider and Don Mueller included...
...Diggers. But "it's fairly hard to worry about the future," as one U.S. moviemaker in Italy explains, "when spaghetti is only a quarter a plate."

He has snapped pictures of no fewer than 106 G.O.P. congressional candidates with a beaming Dwight Eisenhower, and there is still a waiting list of anxious politicians. Last week, at his regular press conference, Ike was asked what qualifications a Congressman needed to get into a presidential picture. His answer was a brief essay on party loyalty and Ike's own plans for the coming campaign. It was also a warning to Republican irregulars...
Rabbi Benjamin Schultz, toastmaster and prime organizer of the $7-a-plate dinner, gave Cohn the first plaque. Then, in rapid order, Lawyer Cohn got six scrolls, three more plaques and a paperweight from as many organizations, including the "Anti-Peress Group of the P.T.A. of P.S. 49." Bellows of hoarse approval went up as Hearst Columnist George Sokolsky attacked "senile" Senators. Fulton Lewis Jr., an "I'm for McCarthy" badge decorating his lapel, criticized his fellow newspapermen for their lack of objectivity about McCarthy. Then Archibald Roosevelt, Teddy's son, led the crowd in booing...
