He struck ou nine batters and walked two.

Gordon Coleman homered for the Reds in the second inning. For Roberts, it was the fourth defeat without a victory. Bobby Del Greco's hits helped the Phils score both their runs. At St. Paul-Minneapolis, a small afternoon crowd of 5777 watched the Twins beat the White Sox and remain in third place, a The '52 Cards were 6-7 on May 1 but ended with 88 triumphs, the club's top since 1949.

Thn last season the Birds tumbled as low as 11-18 on May 19 before recovering to make a race of it and total 86 victories. Since 1949, the only National League club that got off to a hot start and made a runaway of the race was the '55 Dodger team. Those Dodgers won their first 10 games and owned a 21-2 mark and a nine-game lead by May 8. The club that overcame the worst start in a comparable period to win the pennant was New York's '51 Giants, who dropped 11 of their first 13.

Mizell has won both of his starts. Nieman Kept In Lineup. After a lengthy workout yesterday, an open date, Hemus said that Bob Nieman definitely would stay in the lineup.

That means Stan Musial probably will ride the bench on the seventh anniversary of his record five-home run day against the Giants. "I have to stay with Nieman for a while," Hemus said. "Bill White (sore ankles) should be ready. With a lefthander going for Pittsburgh, I may use Don Taussig in center." "Lindy McDaniel threw batting practice about 25 minutes, and he looked good," Hemus said. "He should be getting back in the groove before long.

Our pitching is much better than it has shown." The statistics hardly indicated that the Pirates needed extra batting practice, but Murtaugh also turned his men loose at Busch Stadium yesterday.

.417 .400 .347 .310 .333 .323 which, to be Broeg frank about it, never have quite reached expectations. And that's meant as a boost, not a knock. Mays and Mantle, both 10-year men at 30, have so much ability that, baseball men agree, they've never hit the heights. Their heights, that is. Mantle, the bull-necked blond switch-hitter, had one sensational triple-crown season, 1959, when he batted .365 and also led the American League in home runs, 52, and RBIs, 130.

Like the Yankees' slugger, Mays, the terror of the Giants, has had seasons that would be considered the ultimate by most players, but not by or for Willie. His best years were 1954 when he hit .345 with 41 homers and '55 whe he belted 51 home runs, drove in 127 and stole 24 bases. Now, apparently happier under new managers, Mays a.id Mantle, the perfect players, are behaving as though they're going to pass those previous peaks. Labor Relations Yes, we know, they're pro fessionals, men paid to piay, and they shouldn't care how they're handled, just as long as their names are spelled conectly on the first and fifteenth of each month. The truth is, though, that men react differently to different treatment.

For that matter, Stan Musial is rare, possessing the disposition that enabled him to put out the same for seven managers, reserving his opinions, but not his effort. Mantle, it's apparent, resented Casey Stengel's attempts to push and prod him into the perfection the veteran manager saw as a thrilling possibility. The old man was almost too possessive. Stengel inherited DiMaggio, Rizzuto, but HE brought up Mantle from Class to the majors, from Joplin to New York. With the speed and power of the body beautiful he saw before him, 01' Case wanted No.

7 to be not only the best home-run hitter, but also the best bunter, base-runner and out-fielder. Stengel probably preached too much in the early days when the kid wanted to pop his bubble gum and sow his oats. Inheriting a more mature Mantle, who now has seen the sights on and off Broadway, Ralph Houk quietly bestowed, no pun intended, the mantle of authority on Mickey. The Major decided that, rather than be led, the slugger could lead. And what leadership a proud Mantle has given sO far.

The opinion continues here that with a 162-game schedule, pitching spread thin through a 10-team league and a most inviting target in Los Angeles' Wrigley Field Mantle just might break the most glamorous record on the books, Babe Ruth's 60 homers of 1927. Four for Alvin Mays' day came a day earlier for Willie than for the kids and Commies this year. Willie's wonderful walloping Sunday four home runs-served merely to emphasize how happy he is to be playing for Alvin Dark. Next to Leo Durocher, Dark taught Mays the most when he was a grass-green rookie rushed up to the Polo Grounds 10 years ago this month, to help the Giants win a dramatic pennant. Durocher, recognizing a gold mine even when he saw it with free-wheeling, completely fcharmed the naive young Negro boy and won him over.

Willie was Leo's boy. Everyone knew it, including Bill Rigney, who was a reserve in-fielder then. If Rig resented the special treatment or, more likely, if he heard other players take exception to the exception, he vowed he would play no favorites when he became a manager. He soft-pedaled praise for Mays, stepped up his criticism so that the star would be Just one of the boys. Willie never understood.

He was hurt resentful. If Dark won't gush over Mays as much as Durocher did, he doesn't have to because a bond was established decade ago when the established shortstop, a Southerner, lent a helping hand to the colored boy from Dixie. Willie would run through the wall for Alvin or hit four home runs for him. As both Mays and Mantle have proved, it's great to be young, happy and tremendous hitters. It's pretty pleasant to manage them.

Bob Broeg, sports editor of the Post-Dispatch. Kieffer, the only junior in the group, was commended for his ability to hit in the clutch, as well as his all-round excellent play.

Benington said, "I've never seen a player have a game as great as Mankowski did against Bradley that day." Benington recalled that he once(toH Hcnv.vtg?- that he doubted Gordon would ever play much for him because, he seemed to be lacking in all of the accepted basketball skills. After the coach listed all the boy's faults, Hartweger said, "Coach before I leave here, you'll get to like me.r Mrs. Benington admired Gordon's spirit and did what she could to persuade her husband that the boy might help the team.

"I am through with baseball forever," Jensen said. The Boston Red Sox outfielder reiterated: "I just don't feel I can play major league baseball anymore." Jensen got off a train at Sparks, three miles east of Reno, in effort to avoid newsmen.

An Associated Press reporter was waiting at Sparks and drove Jensen to Reno, where Mrs. Jensen was waiting. A reporter told Jensen he had seemed to have had a fine spring. the weekend, the champions had eight men hitting over .300.

Bill Mazeroski with .179 and Hal Smith with .143 were the only Pirates dragging their feet.
