Catcher Pete Varney and shortstop Monk DeMichele picked up three R.B.I's each to lead the team in scoring. Left fielder Larry Cetrulo and center fielder Bill Kelly went two for three to lead the team in hitting. Varney went two for four and DeMichele, one for three...
...talking about retiring. He couldn't afford to-not at those prices. The real change for the World Champion St. Louis Cardinals is the size of their swelling paychecks. Outfielder Maris is getting $75,000 this year; the lowest-paid player in the Cards' regular line-up (Shortstop Dal Maxvill) will collect $37,500; and the total payroll for the starting nine is $565,000.

From the Mets, Eddie Stanky's boys got two-time N.L. batting champ, Tommy Davis, and from Baltimore came shortstop Louis Aparicio. If Pete Ward and Duane Josephson have big years at the plate, and if Comiskey Park is still standing after the summer, then Chicago will...
