Tonight, Casey Stingles, New York Mets leads the St. Louis Cardinals of Johnny Keane and another game presented by Ryan Gold extra-dry and vice-roy cigarettes. Hi, everybody! This is Bob Murphy with Lindsay Nelson and Ralph Keiner. All set to detail every exciting play in the opener of the four game series here in St. Louis, Missouri. I hear all the line-ups and batting orders for tonight's game. Playing center field, batting lead-off and making his debut for the New York Mets. 33-year-old Jimmy Pearceau from Wattaberry, Connecticut.

Stan Musio in left field, a batting cleanup. And the credit goes, take the field. Many boy are at third, any number five. George Altman in right field batting sixth. Booly on a half-year, playing second-base batting seventh. Gene Oliver, whose home run won a game over the Cubs, won the nothing in Chicago yesterday. Behind the plate and batting eighth. And on the mound and batting ninth, Bob Gibson. Here, ladies and gentlemen, our national anthem.

That was a playing of our national anthem. Now with the playing of our national anthem. We're all set for the opener of the four games set here in St. Louis. The unbearing alignment tonight, Owl Foreman, behind the plate. Long Island's time, Garmin will be at first base. Big stand land of St. Louis in second. And it's good to all look all the plays around third. On the mountain night for St. Louis, one of the hardest doors in baseball, 27-year-old Bob Gibson. Or remember of the Harlem Globetrotters. And Jimmy Ferris is all we'll be leading off. Jimmy acquired from the Washington Senators. Colorful outfielder from Warnerbury, Connecticut.

Reports to who the York met in top physical condition. Mar of his word of, Jimmy is wearing at number two, Mar of Throneberry's old number. Here's the wind up pitched by Gibson. A high fly ball hit the right center field, moving over George Orton and Kurt Flood. And Flood makes the kitchen right center one man away. Here's what went right after the first pitch. And Flood made the grab out by the warning path in right center. One away and nobody on that will bring up Ron Hunt. Well, this is an exciting night for 22-year-old Ron Hunt, the fine rookie second baseman of the New York met. Ron and Eddie of St. Louis, actually of Oberlin, Missouri, which is right out by the airport here in St. Louis. His mother and father are both here watching him play tonight. It's drawn by Gibson a fastball over a call strike. Ron hitting at 298 to lead the New York met and batting. Bob Gibson a 15-game winner last year,

tonight trying to win his second game of the year. Slow ground ball back toward the mound, fielded by Gibson. He fires the first in time, getting high. Two up and two set aside by Bob Gibson. That'll bring up Duke Snyder. Duke hitting 242 and leading the New York met and home runs with seven. And Snyder has 17, runs batted in. Bits thrown to Snyder a fastball up high, one ball in no strikes. Somebody sitting down on the upper deck with a big kettle in the spoon, banging on it to root for the met. Gibson working fast, here's his bitch, a strike on the hot bag corner. One ball, one strike on Duke Snyder. Here's the bitch on the way, a swinging enemy.

Well, when you talk about some of the longest home runs ever hit a destroyed old ballpark in St. Louis, they always tell you about the drives the Duke Snyder, two of them hit off Murray Dixon. Drives that went over the wall, way out in right center field, out by the clock. One two delivery, a swinging enemy, he's striking out with a high hardwood. Oh, Gibson really had something on that one. Not yet completely dark, and this fellow throws a blazing fastball. No runs, no hits, no errors, and none left on. The score on the middle of the first inning, the met's nothing, and the card noles coming to bet. Now, here's a rental for builder cigarette smokers. Now, what slides right open, slides shut tight. That's a thousand for convenience, and scores with a taste that's right 20 times. Its five-throits exclusive new slide top case, the greatest improvement in cigarette packaging since the flip open box. Crushed proof like a box, its slides right open, slides shut tight.

It works so easy on with just one hand. Inside, thythroits. The builder cigarette that tastes the way you'd like a builder cigarette to taste. Not too strong, not too light. Thythroits got the taste that's right. Now, fans of useful garl seven leading filter brands, you'll find some taste too strong, just like the unfiltered can. Others taste too light, and they take all the fun and flavor out of smoking. But thythroits, not too strong, not too light. Thythroits got the taste that's right. So, next time you buy cigarettes, make it thythroy in the exclusive slide top case or the familiar soft pack. Now, current flood, it leads up for St. Louis from the last half of the first inning. Here's a right hand batter with a world of running speedy sitting at 250.

Roger Craig, wines and pitches, a pop up down the first baseline, calling for a Tim Harkness. And Tim takes it in fair territory when man dies. Both lead off batters retired on one pitch. One away and nobody on that will bring up Dick Groot. Well, Dick off to another great start, he already has 59 bayfits. Batting at 341 with three homers and 20 runs fanning out. Dick Groot, outstanding style of the Paris for so many years already has found another very successful home here in St. Louis. Inside and high, one ball and no strike. Right over at the knees for a call, a strike, one ball and one strike. Dick is leading the national league in total bayfits with 59.

A matter of fact, he leads the major leagues and that all important matter of total hits. Bits back Craig off the outside corner, two balls in a strike. West coming, Tim continues to lead the national league and batting, he's hitting a road bus 362. Run fairly at 350 and then Dick Groot 341. Now Craig with a two-one pitch, a drive hits fouled, going high in the air and off to the right, no play in the count two and two. Henry Young of the Braves and Leon Wagner of the Angels leads the major leagues in a home run, each with 13. Aaron leads the national league and RBIs with 34, Wagner of the majors with 37. Cardinals start the game and add four and a half games behind first place San Francisco. They feel they have a chance to gain some ground, flagging the meds over the weekend while the Dodgers and Giants collided San Francisco.

A space above the middle, grabbed on a hot by Fernandez, take the first in time to get it. Nice play by Chico Fernandez, he went in behind second base. He went up with the ground ball with his glove hands down and then threw on the first in time. Now there are two away, nobody on, the batter is Bill White. White hitting at 312 with six home runs and 30 RBIs. Last year was a powerhouse year for Bill White, the Cardinal first baseman, and he appears to be well on his way toward another. Let's play him deep in the outfield and around toward right. Now the pitcher on the way a fastball over a call strike on the inside corner. Well, this is the final stop of the road trip for New York. They'll return to New York following the sunny double header and open their home stand on Tuesday night.

Outside and high, one ball, one strike. Cardinals have a team have a world of hitting power this year. Ron Hunt playing a stride in the right field against Bill White. A towering pop up to shallow right field, Ron Hunt's good about. Hunt is scoring for it in short right. And Ron has it to return to Cardinals. No runs, no hits, no errors and none left on. At the end of one inning, the score of the New York match nothing and the St. Louis Cardinals nothing. Tomorrow, a day game will be on the air at 225, Sunday a double header. Will be on the air at 155 for the Sunday double header. Then following the double header, the next fly back to New York. Monday will be an open date and Tuesday night the New York match entertain Bob Kennedy and the Chicago Cubs. The Chicago Cubs, with about a fourth of the season now gone, have split their first 40 ball games.

Cubs right now have 120, lost 20, and they're five and a half games out. They have been getting real good pitching from Dick Ellsworth. He lost the one to nothing game yesterday to Ernie Brilio in Chicago. From Bob Buehl, from Larry Jackson, from Ludwig McDaniel and Don Elf to those two fine short relief pitchers. And the slugging has come from Ernie Banks and Ron Sano as well as Billy Williams. While a messer away over this weekend, Tegas will be on sale for the Cubs series at our future home games at the Polo Grounds. Grounds at those stations near the 42nd and Vanderbilt ramp and the long and waiting room of the Penn station. Now Tim Hartness up against Bob Gibson and the off-speed delivery is over strike one call. It's thrown by this hard throwing right hander as big and high, one ball and one strike.

Tim batting at 250 with three homers and 15 runs batted in. Now the pitch on the way is flipped over the outside corner of call strike. You can't work much faster than Bob Gibson is working right here. Tim Hartness in a two run homer up, Don Driesdale in the final game in Los Angeles won by the Dodgers 7-3. Now the one two pitch off the outside corner two balls and two strikes. In order to make room for Jimmy Purcell in the line of tonight against the Cardinals, the New York Mets have out in Chris Cano-Zero to Buffalo. And tomorrow, the family dinner will join the New York Mets. He's hit by the pitch. That ball hit him on the leg and Hartness goes down to first space. It was a real hard fastball thrown by Gibson. That might very well be a little bit sore a half an hour now. Don't think you have to wait a half an hour Bob. I'm sure the two balls are sore right now.

He really threw that one hard in the row. He throws hard. He's one of the hardest sores in baseball and he's massed here tonight. It's a little bit cold. Jimmy Purcell getting a rugged baptism to break into the nice deligue against a hard thrower like Gibson. That's to Eddie Crainbull is taking ball one. He may be asking his teammates who took out to the all throw like just a nice deligue. Nobody out. Tim Hartness on first space. Now the pitch bag gets in a swing and a miss on a higher hard one. One ball and one strike. Bill White holding against Tim Hartness at first space. Third game of the year between the Mets and the St. Louis Cards. Now the 1-1 pitch. Fowl the back of stairs amount of play. One ball and two strikes.

Sally he must've on the lines at first and could be Lava Juno coaching a third. Gil Hodges made his debut managing the Washington Club in Baltimore last night and Gil ran into an old nice deligue never sustained robin robbers. Now Hartness of the short lead of our first and a third of first by Bob Gibson not in time. To a man all the players who are pulled of the ex-dadger teammates of Gil both with the Mets and the Dodgers to a man off of the Gil would do well. Fowl jumped. Oliver unable to hang onto that when it's a matter of fact he's hit on the forearm by the Fowl jumped. One ball and two strikes. One of the most exciting games we saw all last year was a game involving Bob Gibson. On the 27th of July last year he hooked up an amount duel with Alvin Jackson. The Mets won the game, won to nothing.

Bidging one and two. In the dirt Oliver makes a good play, scooting on his shin guards off to the right to hang onto it in the count two and two. These hits have been rather hard to come by, I've ready on this road trip he has been in somewhat of a batting slump then. Usually when the hitter does go into a slump they also make some top-notch fielding plays on him. Low, ball three, three and two. Dick Tresorski, the short stop of the Dodgers made a superb play to take a hit away from Eddie Cranebule in that final game in Los Angeles. Now the count is three and two on Cranebule, Harkness on first, nobody out top of the second and no score in the game. Just you call him in the undecoder. There goes the runner, the pitch inside is ball four and Cranebule goes down to first.

Now on a hit that's one and a walk. The New York Mets have runners on first and second, nobody out. That brings up just you call him. Two, two hitting and one, seventy-nine. Now the Cardinals look for the bun before you're even with a bag at third. Bill White back toward fielding up at first. Way inside, that one almost victim. One ball in those strikes. Yups in the sole fire this year has been bothered by a wildness. His last time out in six innings he walked four. Here's the pitch on the way, a smash foul going down the right field line.

Due to get around on that one, he ripped it and it goes foul. One ball, one strike. This year Bob Gibson has been beaten twice by a Cincinnati. Once by the Braves, he beat the Dodgers ten to seven. I guess the Mets last year he won two and lost one. Right now the count one and one on two to come and Charlie Neil the Undeckheader. It's by Gibson off the outside corner and two to ignore it two and one. Day game tomorrow and a double header Sunday and then the Mets will be coming home to open a good homestay. Bill entertain five different national league balls and so the next homestay. Danny Murts brings Pittsburgh in for the first time this year. He busts a foul coming right straight back in the count two and two. Johnny Keene and the Cardinals will be in on that next homestay.

They play in New York on the seventh, eighth and ninth of June. That's a weekend at four game series. A night game on Freddie and night and ladies big game on Saturday and a double header on Sunday the ninth of June. Now two runners take a lead count two and two on two to come. A foul ball off the first back of stairs and out of play. When Sammy Taylor joins New York here in St. Louis tomorrow. That means the case you will have to dispose of one player in order to make room for it. Now Gibson makes the stop. Here's the Smiths to Chuchu. A high drive that may go foul well. It's deep to right field and it's going to be a foul ball off the facing of the upper deck. Chuchu leaned into that one but it was fouled by eight or ten yards down the right field and off the facing of the upper deck.

Tim Harkness on second he was hit by a pitch. Eddie Cranepool on first, Eddie drew one. Now the pitch. Low it's ball three and the string is out three and two. Gibson got in front on Eddie Cranepool but he had a good eye and drew a walk on three and two. When it was three and two on Cranepool Harkness was running. Let's keep an eye on the runners now. Gibson a flamethrower. Two runners take a lead. There go the runners, the pitch is high ball four and the basses are loaded. So I'd give Gibson with a hit batsman and two walks. The bass is now loaded and Charlie Neill coming on to hit.

Charlie hitting a 225 with one homer and nine RBI's. Cardinals now have the infield willing to consider run to try and get two and the on field playing him to hit the opposite way. Fast ball high, one ball and no strikes. Gibson has been wild high with that blazing fastball so far here on the second inning. Harkness the lead runner on third, next pitch on the way. A groundwater bounce towards second base. It goes through the center field through a base head. One runner's there. Cranepool taking for the plate. He'll come into score and the next lead to the nothing. Charlie Neill, the nice level swing, building a ground single right back up the middle. Just beyond the range of Hullian hobby air, he tried to flag it down on a backhand play and back a second. So give Neill two runs back and down and the meds lead to nothing.

Runners on first and third, Juju raised from first around the third and the hitter now is Jiko Fernandez. Now Gibson out the stretch, still nobody out. Here's the pitch. He bunched the ball and it's a foul ball. Fowl ball, foul ball because he burned it twice before he got out of the batter's box on the back lash. It was spun it into the ground a second time. So it's a foul ball and Fernandez will have to come back. Suicide squeeze play wasn't on. Juju was waiting to see whether or not the ball was on the ground. That's two in the card and there's nothing runners on first and third, nobody out. Now Gibson with a full wind up and the pitch on the way, taking a pie. Charlie Neill broke and started to go, then slammed on the brace, figured perhaps he couldn't make it.

One ball and one strike, Gibson forgot and worked from the wind up. Runners on first and third, Juju's on third and Charlie Neill with a two run single is on first. The one one pitch, swing and a miss by Fernandez, one ball and two strikes. Roger Craig got crashed in the on deck circle. The old professor, a Casey Stingel, has his left leg, propped up near the top step of the dugout as he watches all the goings on. Now Gibson with a count of one and two, the pitch to Fernandez. A ground ball, it's lowly on the right side, leveled by a hobby here and now he throws to first in time getting Fernandez. And Goldman comes into score to make it free to nothing. If Fernandez and RBI, well, it was hit down toward the end of the bat.

It had a lot of spin on it, it wasn't hit too hard. Howdy here, I had trouble picking it up. He wasn't going to try to make a play on the plate on that one. So get Fernandez and RBI. So the New York match to head in the score to run for Roger Craig in 26 and a third innings. Now I have free home for him here at the top of the second. Roger the batter with Neill on second one down. A slow grounder back toward the mountain, Gibson throws to first, Neill races on to third after he turns to Fernandez as Gibson to top batter looking back. Now there are two away, and coming up the hit will be Jimmy Periphal. Jimmy tap in the dirt out of those spikes. Periphal now only has 13 here at Major League Baseball. He's had some great years. He has just as happy as he can be to be with the New York Betts and to play for Casey Stingle.

He has always been very fond of Casey. Outside and low it's ball one. As a youngster when he was playing in a right field for Lou Boudreau with the Red Sacks and he used to battle the New York Yankees. Casey many times acclaimed his outstanding fielding and helped him to become a good ball player. A foul ball, a lofted back upstairs and out of play, one ball and one strike. Periphal over one, he fly to right center in the first inning. Now the pitch by Gibson whacked foul out to the right, one ball and two strikes. Charlie Neill on third at three runs are in, there are two away where in the top of the second. Gibson with that big wind up, now the pitch. Outside and high two and two. Travis fellow doesn't waste any time out there.

He works fast and also that ball gets to the plate awfully fast too. Now Periphal lagging the batter around, cocks it off the right shoulder. Jimmy bends from the waist, feet close together. For a number of years now Jimmy and his big family have made their home in Newtonville, Massachusetts. Too high it's ball three. Jim is down the process of moving his family as soon as school is about to high end his port. Full count on Periphal now three and two. Jim is the seventh man up against Gibson in the inning. Ball four, it's a tie and Periphal walks. That's the third walk given up at the inning by Bob Gibson. And it brings up Ron Hunt. Ron O. for one was thrown out by Gibson in the first inning. Now the New York Mets have runners on first and third.

Three runs are in, two men down. And for the first time we have a little stirring around now in the Cardinal ballpen. Now Gibson off the stretch, delivers to Hunt. Ball one inside and low. Another fellow who really throws behind two is now warming up in the Cardinal ballpen and that's rookie right-hander, Eric Fanock. F-A-N-OK. That's it against Fanock and his brain training done in St. Petersburg and they were really exilding his fastball. Here's the pitch on the way. Round ball bounce towards second. Big hop for high a air. He puts it on the bill white and the side is on. Eight men came up. Three runs came in. On one hit. No airs and two left on. At the end of an inning and a half the score of the New York Mets three and the St. Louis Cardinal's nothing. Well you know you can't really tell if a pitcher has it until you see how he does against the top hitters around the circuit.

You know the same thing goes for the taste of builder cigarettes. The only real test is to put the leaders up against each other. And see which one has. The taste that's right. Now if you smoke all seven leading filter brands you'll find some taste to straw. If you didn't see the filter you probably wouldn't know was there. And some taste too light. The filter seems to take all the fun and flavor out of smoky. But vice-roy tastes the way you'd like a filter cigarette to taste. Not too strong, not too light. vice-roy's got the taste that's right. Now how about checking that vice-roy taste for yourself. The next time you buy cigarettes make it vice-roy. In the familiar soft back are the new slide top case. Either way vice-roy's got the taste that's right. vice-roy that's right. Right here let's pause for station identification.

This is a voice of the Metz and the Great Northeast. WG-Y's connected via a general electric station the time 29 minutes until 10. Bob Murphy with Ralph Keiner and Lucy Nelson from St. Louis. Leed off Interest Dan, the man who is the old-facing Roger Craig. Stan has six homers this year. Outside and low it's fall one. Lucy all ready in the double figures in RBI as he has driven 20 runs in. Now the wind of pitch back Craig. High fly ball. He speaks the right field. This one is up. And there it goes.

At home run by museum it was real authority. Career wise for Stan museum and he's zeroing in on 530 more now. That's 407 the home runs. High fly at deep to right center and actually up over the roof top level in right center. Now Kenny Boyer up against Roger Craig. Slatter on the outside corner strength one goal. Now field around toward left. Let's three in the car goes one. A smash at hard towards short. A base hit beyond the region for now. Boyer takes the turn at first. He'll hold up there. Any boy here was hitting 304 when he came up and that brings up George Altman. Altman hitting 276 with two homers and 17 runs back to that.

Now Jimmy Perth all swings around to right center against George Altman. Here's the pitch back Craig. Curve is over a tall strike. Down on the drug out before the game Jimmy was saying to Roger Craig. Now don't hesitate to move me around wherever you want me left or right back or up. Because you're the fellow that knows the hitters. Here's the pitch to him. Swing and of us rank two. Now Roger Carl shoots you out towards the mouth. For tonight's game the meds have the two catchers. Lawrence Coleman and Norm Sherry. Sammy Taylor is due to join the team tomorrow. Sammy heard he's armed during the Florida instructional league play. And tried to work it out during spring training and then went on the buffalo to get a real tip-to-tap shape. Pitched to Altman off the outside corner.

One ball and two strikes. Joe Schultz on the coaching lines at first for St. Louis and Vern Benson on the lines at third. I throw the first not in time. Boyer dabbing back in. Throw the first not in time. Roger Craig with a real swift pickup pushing of his going to work on Kenny Boyer. It's thrown off and in the dirt locked out in front of the plate by a tutu. There's no advance. Then tutu throws the first base not in time.

Now Roger up in pitching position. Deliver St. Altman a ground ball. It hard to honey flips over to Fernandez. 100 first. Double save at first base. They got the lead runner. Ken Boyer he is taking off the lines and on a very close play at first. George Altman is safe. That brings up William Javier. Javier batting at 274 homeruns and 10 RBI. That's three in the Cardinals one pitch back. Craig punted off the hill comes Craig back here and grabbed the throw. He's out at first base. Beautiful fielding play by Roger Craig. He'll go as a sacrifice. Altman moves on to second. But it was certainly not intended as such. Javier was puntin' all the way trying for a base hit.

Well it's time to relax with a Viceroy cigarette. Not too strong. Not too light. Viceroy has got the taste that's right. Now for the Redbirds the hitter is catcher Gene Oliver. He hit his fifth home run of the year in Chicago yesterday and he won a game for Ernie Brillio and St. Louis won it up. Oliver hasn't been hitting for an average, but he has been hitting for a long ball. It's thrown by Roger. Inside and low, one ball and no strikes. Now Roger wants to talk to two two. Ralph, what you think about the deal we saw in the paper is this morning with Bob Skinner and Jerry Lynch, a changing ball gloves. All you'd have to guess from that, that the fire is going to go along with their new acquisition in left field and play to Bob Skinner.

That's savage that they got for the Philadelphia Phillies. And they're looking for some pinch hitting from the bench. Of course Jerry Lynch is one of the best of that. And Skinner should help the sits in that a ball glove because he'll be hitting in a ballpark that has a short center field fit and his power is straight away. Now, however the batter, the pitch back crank, foul ball, it down the third baseline. Those pirates who come to New York for the first time of a next home stand, they have really committed themselves to go with their young talent. Phil Mazorowski, a veteran from a standpoint of major league experience, but still a young man is really the only experienced man in the infield. Don Clinton and Dick Skowfield, who has been a utility player until this year, and then the $175,000 bonus chance to Bob Bailey at third. One run in, two down, we're in the last half of the second. Oldman leading off second.

A smash hit hard, and it's a decent over the bag going in foul ground down toward the bullpen. Oldman comes into score, and Oliver goes into second and the hard hit two-base hit. He really might style it. He'll try to make a backhand play, but that ball is over his head and going down the line before he can get over there. So the card, no fighting right back in it, is now a three to two ball game, and the hitter is Bob Gibson. As far as a real good-hitting pitcher, he's batting at 308-4 for 13. Cardinals now have picked up a single, double, and home runoff, Craig. You're in the last half of the second. Now Roger, up in fetching position, Gibson, right hand batter.

Low, it's ball one. That's three in the Cardinals two. Cardinals have the tie and run Oliver on second. A foul ball hit off the end of the bat. This will be upstairs and out of play. One ball and one strike. Down the left field line of the C's, 351. Straight away in center field, 422. Shortboard, just right field, but it has the highest screen, it's 310 feet. The one-one delivery. A ground ball hit down the first baseline, going foul. One ball, two strikes down, the opposing pitcher, Bob Gibson.

Swing, and a message struck him out. Roger Craig, batting Bob Gibson to retire the side. St. Louis getting back into the thick of it on two runs, three hits. No errors and one left on. Two innings complete the score. The New York match three, and a St. Louis Cardinals. Now here we go to the third inning and as we do so, let's go with the fellow who's 17 years ago for his first major league game right here in St. Louis. Ralph Kiner. Thank you for having hi there everyone. Here is Duke Dunner, who was the only man not the bad in the last inning. And the first fish to Duke by Bob Gibson is topped up in the air. The second base for moving back into shallow right field makes the play. Both sides are too high for air. For odd number one, his Bob Gibson starts to work here in the top of the third. Gore is three to two in favor of the match. They score three runs on only one hit in the second inning when they sent eight men to the play. Jim Martin is now the batter. Jim was hit by a pitch ball and scored the first run of the game. His first time off, and he looked at a fastball for strike one.

Martin is batting 250-80. He has three home runs and 50 runs that it is. Jim left in batter and there's a check in the swing. It's in time. One by one strike. Gibson looking for his second victory of the year. He has a one and three record and the big right hander lets up outside, the ball way outside, two balls and one strike. Bob in one time. Not standing basketball player. He fights for the growth trotters. Number 45, he swings and comes back to Tim Harkness and the pitch is inside for ball three. Three balls and one strike. Gibson so far in the game has walked three men and now the lineup for the three one pitch and it's high for ball four. He has walked the first face and that will bring up head train ball. Head walked in the second inning,

later on scored a run on the two run single by Johnny Neal. So, head officially not a bat in this game. He's batting 218. He has one home run and seven runs that it in. Now Bill White comes off first face to talk to Gibson on the mouth. One out here in the top of the third. Disco at three to two in favor of the men. There's a harsh match right through the middle in the center field of bases. Harkness rounds the second base. He goes to third on Maleficent. And head three balls come through with the bases and put runners at first and third. That is hit number two off Gibson and we'll probably see some more action in the ballpan earlier. The Cardinals add a man up and join. Bill, now we got the action going.

They're getting off defense once again. Earlier Harry Pettich was up and drawing. Looks like it's the same one getting up right now. Time call on the plate. The ball hit through the middle by head train ball. Over here the second basement door for the ball. Now he's being brushed off and being checked out by the trainer for the St. Louis Cardinals. Bob Bowman. He doesn't appear to be hurt seriously possibly a little bit of a scratch. While we have a little bit of time to check on the scores Houston defeated the Cup 65. The cups will be in the polar grounds to open up. And that's home stand of 15 games coming May 28th. That'll be a night game the first game. A double header on the 30th Memorial Day. Twenty-fitcher for Houston. How would a shot? It works really well. He won nothing after two and a half. Brendan Spur and that one two veterans. The only one of the games scored in the home run by Hank Aaron is 14th of the year.

Philadelphia nothing. Cincinnati nothing. You have to do anything. McLeish and Ferke. L.A. schedule that San Francisco and a real fig one out of the cards. Orange Giles, the national league president. Then the telegram to San Francisco Giants. Just to make sure that there would not be any unnecessary water placed on the field for this series. If you recall, the trainer, I should say, the brown keeper for the Giants had water down, Candlestick Park. Go down more in the world than the Dodgers last year. Now time in. The first fit to get to Coleman popped up by home play. He know they're ready. And he makes the catch breaking off of first base but only now is that crane bull. So Coleman goes out on one pitch for out number two. Parkness at third base for the met. Now we'll bring up Johnny Neill with the runners remaining in first and third. The score of three to two in favor of the met. We're in the top of the third inning.

The favor with Cardinals have two men out. The Cardinals have won both games quite so far between these two clubs. One out here in the top of the third. This score of three to two in favor of the met. There's a harsh match right through the middle and the center field of base is. Parkness rounds the second base. He goes to third on molestice. And it's way bull comes through with the base is the foot runners at first and third. That is hit number two off Gibson. And we'll properly see some more action in the ballpan earlier. The Cardinals had a man up and drawing. Still no. Now we've got the action going. They're getting off the bench once again. Earlier, Harry Fedock was up and drawing. Looks like it's the same one getting up right now. Time call. On the play, the ball hit through the middle by Ed Crainball. obvious the second basement door for the ball.

Now he's being brushed off and being checked out by the trainer for the St. Louis Cardinals. Bob Bowman. He goes the fair to be hurt seriously possibly a little bit of a strad. Well, we have a little bit of time that checks on the scores. Houston defeated a cup six to five. The cups will be in the fall of grounds. Open up. And that's on stand. 15 games coming. May 28th. That'll be a night game. The first game. A double header on the 30th Memorial Day. Twenty-fetcher for Houston. How would a shot. Pittsburgh's ready to walk. He won a nothing after two and a half. Brendan's front and that went to veterans. The only run of the game scored in the home run by Hank Aaron is 14 to the year. Philadelphia nothing. Cincinnati nothing. That's the two endings. McLeish and Perty. L.A. scheduled at San Francisco in a real big one out of the cause. Orange Giles, the National League president. They're the telegram to San Francisco Giants. Just to make sure that there would not be any unnecessary water.

Placed on the field. For this series, if you recall, the trainer, I should say, the ground keeper for the Giants, has watered down. Camel Sixth Park. He's grown down more in the world than the Dodgers last year. Now time in. And the first fit for Q2 Coleman popped up by home play. You know they're running and he makes the catch breaking off of first base. But only now is that train bull. So Coleman goes out on Wednesday for round number two. Darkness at third base. So the meds now will bring up Johnny Neill with the runners remaining at first and third. The score of three to two in favor of the meds were in the top of the third inning. The favor with Cardinals have two men out. The Cardinals have won both games quite so far between these two clubs. They won the first two games of the year. If eating Roger Craig in the opening day game. Roger working in this one. Now the set position. And the fits to Johnny Neill.

A fastball. A blazing fastball. It's bringing the meds for strike one. Gibson really had something on that one. Johnny drove in two runs as last time up with a base hit right through the middle. Meds added one more run on a run out. They score it three in the second and one hit. Now the right ender comes back to play with a fastball. He throws it behind Neill. It's far off to the right side for strike two. Neill not getting around. Bob Gibson was third in the National Lakin strikeout last year. Don Drysdale was the National Lakin leader. Bob this year off to the slow start. Now he comes back and there's a line shot but filed on the right field side again. Once again Neill a little bit made in the swing. Drysdale Gibson struck out two hundred and eight man. Drysdale led the leg with two hundred and thirty two strikeouts.

Drysdale right now leads the National Lakin strikeout. Just ahead of Sandy Kofack. There's a slider and it's just outside one ball of two strikes. Gibson's real good pitch is his fastball but he has a real good slider to go off. That's the way he'll work in a ball game. Four ends rider. He'll change up once in a while but not two effectively. Three two minutes later in the top of the third inning. Runners at first and third for New York. And there's a swing in a miss for strike three. And the bat goes out of the hand of Johnny Neill as he drives to pick up the slider. That's lying on down toward third base. That strike out the third in the game to retire the side. And the match in the third inning no runs, no hit. I should say one hit. No errors, two man left in the score at the end of two and one happening to play. New York match three, the St. Louis Cardinals, two. Well here's another round goal riddle for you. Practice situation. Runners on first and second one out. When the matter hits foul towards the third base dugout,

the third base that makes the catch is in fouls into the dugout. Now can the runners advance after the catch for what? Think about it. Ready? Well fourth runner's madman. One base since the third baseman being in the dugout was technically off the ball field. Now we hope you enjoy our wrangled riddles just as we hope you enjoy wrangled extra drive. Here's a beer that is easy to enjoy. I mean, it's so much more refreshing than other beers. Dry tells you why. Wrangled has a taste that's risking riding clean and clear through. So enjoy the beer that's easy to get along with. Wine goal extra drive. Drop we have real stitches dugout for this ball park and you can go down and let the dugout make the catch and meal and your feet everything is all right. That's right Bob. Now we start to work as Roger Gage comes in with his first pitches in the bottom half of the third. The coach brought it swung on and fouled off for strike one.

While you have different situations in different bad parts, that's what they discussed before the game. The grounds rules of the individual ballpark. I think neither about the roomie has dug out for you in China or across the lingers. Well, I'll tell you one thing Bob, years ago, they were the worst. You have to sit triple deck into the open. The guy in the back deck couldn't even see the fly ball fit into the outfield. They were really squashed together and of course when they re-innovated the ballpark they didn't make a tremendous change. The coach brought a right hand batter against Roger Gage and the pitch back to the plate is this curve ball outside, one ball, one strike. More of the old club houses here used to be horrible too. They fixed them up. They have done a great job on renovating this ballpark. Now back to what there's a swing and a miss for strike two. One ball and two strikes. The only thing that didn't change though, they left that nutfield fence way out there, three hundred and fifty-one feet away, and of course that's not too fair for the right hand batter.

Right field right on top, it's only three ten and of course he is louder and damn usual made a real living off that right field stream. There's a pitch back, a line drives the left center. Good goal for extra basses. Try to keep it down and it's going to go off the wall. Try to fix it out. Plus it's going to go for third. Here comes the throw, it's going to be too late. First run and the goal gets five. The Roger Gage is backing up the play. First plus point in the third base, the throw is going by Johnny Neal, but Roger right behind the play. Three-way tip for the speedy centerfielders. So now some abs and starting in the bullpen for the New York matches. Ken McKenzie up, getting ready to throw. Roger Craig now in a position of giving up the time run. What they didn't know off in the bottom half of the third inning. With the three base hit and now Dick Groot comes up to bat. Dick was retired on a fine fly by the short shot.

Tiko Fernandez, his first time off, Tiko's going to his left, getting the ball and back a second base. Roger right hand batter on a third base and now Dick's throw in the batter's box. Groot started the ball game in three-fourty-one. And he looks at an inside pitch for ball one. Infield playing back, the score of three-two, the match lead, bottom half of the third inning, no one out. I know for four bases in the ball game and now Craig Wines and Dio's, Nick Groot has a drive to right center, it's going to be extra bases. All off of the wall, squires from third bases. Groot and Dick Groot goes in the second base, standing up. And that ties up the ball game in three to three.

Run battered in number twenty-one for Jack who's having a great year for the St. Louis Cardinals. He's really happy over here. He certainly has helped build this ball blob into authentic contenders. Dio's going out and the batter will be Bill White, a left-hander. It's just you, Goldman, John Tunderman, and Roger Craig. Let's score three runs in the top of the second. But the Cardinals came back to close the gap by scoring two runs in the bottom half of the second. And now they have tied it up here in the bottom half of the third. It's three to three. Bill White popped out to the second base for this first time off. These are left-hand battered. Battings reach well. Six home runs and thirty runs battered in. And there's a fly ball, a shallow light field. And he's graceful as there. Tags up a second as Dick Groot. Maidful makes the catch. The throw goes across to the front off by Chico Fernandez. And Fernandez changes Groot back in the second.

So Roger has picked up his first out here in the bottom half of the third. The short side, three, three, and up comes Dan Nigel. Dan had a long, whole run to light-setter field on the roof of the pavilion. Out there, it's the first time off the home run was this seventh of the year. And real-world idea is now a total of four hundred and seventy. Dan batting two-forty this year, but he's in with good power. Still crouching in that familiar stance. Not quite as deep in the crouch as he used to be, but still a very familiar side. Here's the fence to stand. A current ball, all for ball one. Here's all. Also not keeping his feet as close together as he used to. He used to have them almost touching now. He's spread out just a little bit, maybe about a foot apart. Dan's deep in the box, like he always used to. A little bit closer to the plate than when he first came up. He used to stand even further back in his earlier days.

That was when he hit four balls to left field. And he looked again for ball two. Dan of course then learned how to fall and went for the home run. He has four hundred and seventy now. So in order to hit that many home runs, you have to be up a little closer to the plate to pull the outside pitch to right field. Two balls and no strikes. Roger Craig working to the great man, Stan Muziel. Here's a sure fire cinch for the Hall of Fame. You'll have to wait five years, but he'll get the first ball and I'm sure. And the pitch back by Craig is on the outside corner. No Roger has his first strike here against Stan the man. They can't two balls and one strike. One out the score tied three to three. And the Kenzie working in the bullpen for the men. He's a left hand pitcher. Jimmy Pierce are on center field playing over in right center. He's playing Stan to pull. There's a pitch that's outside and there's three balls and one strike.

You're on deck batter, Ken Boyer. St. Louis Cardinals with a real far out ball club. They have good balance. And the man at second base who is on there has certainly added to their balance by being a real great hit and run man. They grow it on a second base. Good speed in the lead off position in Kirk's blood. Now the pitch back a three one pitch full foul. The cam moves up the three ball and two strikes. Kirk batter, Bill White, one of the top men in base ball with the batter. Of course Stan, usual batting clean up tonight. No question there about his ability. Ken Boyer batting fifth real strong batter. George Altman in right field not doing as well as expected. But he's had good records in back. And there's obvious in Oliver so they have a well balanced lineup. If there's one thing the Cardinals do lack it would be depth and pitching. They have four good starters. They're working now trying to get Gibson back in the swing and be their fifth man.

There's a fifth to music bounce down the first base dug out by Tim Harkinis. Roger Gray covering it first makes the play for out number two. Moving the third on the play is Dick Grote. Roger now with a score of five three to three. And with two out we'll work to Ken Boyer. Boyer single to center field is first time up. Batting a three oh four five oh runs a thirty one runs batted in. Either right hand batter. I feel playing Boyer straight away in field not too deep because he runs well. Let's straight away. Roger reading the signs from two to Coleman. Scorchide three three two men out here in the bottom half of the third inning.

Dick Grote is third. He didn't off and here's the fifth to Boyer. It off the fifth straight up in the air. Coleman throws away the man. He waits and he backs into fair territory to make the catch. Every tire is the side and the inning for the Cardinals they tied up on one run. They had two hits triple in the double. There were no errors. One man was left on in the score at the end of three inning to play. The Cardinals three to New York met three. Well here's some good news for you.

The top of the four studying hours Bob Gibson gets ready to work to his first man, Chico Fernandez. And the first pitch is a slider outside ball one. When Andy's drove in a run in the second inning when he bounced a second base. The outscore to Duke Coleman who is on third. That gave the metzer a third run. The cardinals tied it up. When the run in the bottom half of the third, there's a pitch back that's a strike call. One ball, one strike. Bob Gibson, 27 years of age. He is one in three this year working on the mound. And the right hander gets a file strike on a curve ball. One ball, two strikes. Fernandez batting 2-31.

He has one home run in three. Runs better than. And at one more to it here tonight to make it four. And Gibson with a slider picks up a strikeout as he gets Fernandez this way. And while we wait for Roger Craig to come out, we'll use the opportunity to pause for station identification. And this is the voice of the metzer in the Great Northeast. W.G.Y. is connected to the smoothest sound around. The time is now one minute past 10 o'clock. Ralph Keiner along with Pap Murphy and Lindsay Nelson from St. Louis, Missouri. We're in the top of the fourth inning, Roger Craig, about it. The score tied 3-3, one out of the fifth to Roger. The first one, the strike.

The right hander back to the plate and he misses outside for ball one. One ball, one strike. Now Gibson back to work and he gets a swing in the middle for the fast ball. One ball, two strikes. Roger grounded out. Right back to the mound, his first time up. He has one hit and 23 drips to the plate. Now the slider outside. Two balls and two strikes. Bob Gibson on the mound, taking his hand from Jean Oliver and now the pitch back of fast ball and small. So Roger has a count for the three and two, the score tied 3-3. The cardinals have one out here in the top of the fourth inning. The undecbattered Jimmy Fierceau. Fierceau worried number two for the men.

There's a ball in sharply to center field, but it'll have to go away back. He's back there and he misses again. A ball right back by the water track and that's the hardest ball. Roger Craig is in and quite some time. Roger Craig has a shallow center field and a long run but he had 20 rules. The center field located 425 feet away. Gibson gets Roger Craig for out number two. That'll bring up Jimmy Fierceau looking for his first national again. And the first pitch to Fierceau popped up high in the air to shallow center. Frunched out. He going back to shortstop. Bro, it's both goals and he makes the catch. Very tired of that. Three up and three down and four. Bob Gibson and the score at the end. The three and a half innings of play. The New York met three. The St. Louis Cardinals. Three. You know what was true in 1910 was true in 1940 that's certainly true today too.

I'm talking about baseball players. Mark of a real great player in 1910 is the famous in 1963. Truly great player has that extra something. You've got the ability to come up with a big hit or make that extra special catch at the right time. And if that extra something that makes him great. That's true with Fierceau. Ryan Gold has that extra something that want to lift it out of the ordinary class. And it's on every label. Extra dry. Yes, those two words tell you why Ryan Gold is. Fierceau should take. Tell you why Ryan Gold is a truly great Fierce. Ryan Gold extra dry has a flavor that's risk and writing clean clear through. It's, well, it's everything you want in Fierceau. Well, it's just throat. And there's a lot quicker. Certainly much more refreshing. And most of all, it's easy to enjoy. But you find that out for yourself. Next time, enjoy Ryan Gold extra dry. See why a million say. My beer is Ryan Gold the dry beer.

I don't have for the 4.30 this time, again. Let's score 3-3 and it'll be George Altman against Roger Craig. As Roger gets ready to work. So far, Roger has given up 3 runs. He has the last 5-8 hit while striking out. One and rocking done. First pitch to Altman, bounced in the hell, going over it. And he picked it up. Who's the crank of all the shots? Well, huh, made a great play to come up with a pass. Jim Washington's first pitch had moved on to try and get it. He couldn't get to it. Roger Craig came off the mound to cover. Hunt came up with a ball back in the grass. And he made a good throw to Roger Craig. But Roger is trying to find the bag. Couldn't find the ball. And the ball bounced out of the ground. So that's going to be an air charge to Roger Craig. And the same Louis Cardinals now have the child break. He run at first pitch with no one out. Better coming up. He didn't have the air. And he just talked with Johnny Keane. Make it Joel Schultz.

The third base goes. Aviara, right hand batter with good speed. As officially not been to bad. He laid down the front. That was credited as a sacrifice. The fight is first time up. And the first pitch is a ball inside. Aviara was not funding for a sacrifice his first time up. He was funding for a base hit. But because there was a runner on first base at the time. He got credit for a sacrifice. This is one of the odd rules in baseball. Once again, Gen McKenzie up and throwing in the ball fed. Throw the first base chase is George Alman back. Three three games. No one out here in the bottom half of the fourth inning. Roger now sets and goes to first again. Alman, a good base runner. When the short lead gets back ahead of the throw. Cardinals have real good speed. Ironically, Dick Road is one of their smaller men

and he's their short shot. Here's the thought of first this time. Alman was moving towards second. He had the hurry to get back. He made it though. No one out. And now Aviara stepping out of the batter's box. And here's the fifth job here. Hit in the hole. It's going to go on through. Alman will be flash in the second base. He didn't know where the ball was. Coming up with the ball. And that field is Duke Snyder. And the throw goes into the short shot. George Alman on the play. He split in the second base. There was no play there at all. He didn't know where the ball was. And because he's ready. He had no chance to move. The third and the hit run play. So, and there on a base hit. It's number six. Our Bridger Craig. And the Cardinals now have runners at first in second when no one out. The batter is Gene Oliver. Gene Dumbled. The drive in the run. And the second inning. He is one for one. Matting at 195. It was Gene's home run. One hit. One hit. One hit. One hit.

One hit. One hit. One hit. One hit. One hit. One hit. One hit. One hit. One hit. One hit. One hit. One hit. One hit. We have one hit. Again. And then it's Gene's home run last night engage the Cardinals one-結. As it has a heart missing ball in the wall. 4-3 and Casey comes to the mound. It's deadly that game last night game to win not the Sedecki, but to Ernie Brolio. Cardinals winning 1-0. Casey single coming to the mound and now while we wait to see what actually will happen here is Bob with the scores around the leg. Okay, or after the day game, the win 12 of thenings Houston defeated the Chicago Cup 6-5. The winner in relief was

how would a sick brew started skinny brown in the fifth inning. For the Chicago Cubs, Kyle Kuhn started hobby in the fifth big Daniel in the eighth big Daniel the losing pitcher. Tonight at the end of three and a half, the Braves laid the parrots, one nothing on Henry Aaron's 14th home run, Bob Brenn to guess Warren's five. The Phillies laid Sunson at eight, two to nothing at the end of four. Kyle McLeish, who shut out the Giants, his last time out, a guess Bob Perky. Later the night for the Dodgers and Giants, a candlestick parrots. At Yankee Stadium, Joe Pempatone has set a three run homer in the last half of the sixth inning. The Yankee's now lead Washington 5-3, batting in the last half of the sixth. They have stood out to guess righty four. If you're on the warmest in Minnesota, Ray Herbert, well the white sock he has been fantastic. And Dick Stickman for the Minnesota Twins. The Red Hot Baltimore Orioles now have added a homerun by Russ Snyder in the eighth inning with a man on. They lead Cleveland 7-1 at the end of seven

and a half. The Orioles of one nine of their last 10, they have Mike McCarby gunned the mound. Very Alatman released Sam McDowell at the seventh inning. Earlier in the game, Brooks Robinson hit a two run homer. Detroit leading Boston, two to nothing at the three and a half on a two run homerbar, K-Line. Bill Maunbuket for the Red Sacks and Hanka Gurry pitching for Detroit. On the west coast tonight, Kansas City meets the Angel skinned Los Angeles. Around we can well imagine the number of riders and friends that must have surrounded Gil Hodges tonight in Yankee Stadium. Well of course Gil, one of the most popular ball players to ever play baseball. Now the manager of the Washington Senators, he lost his first game by a score of six-nothing. But of course that doesn't mean anything either. Gil, well first baseball player, he's made quite a study of baseball and we certainly want to send our best wishes when you know some Bob Murphy and I onto a real great guy Gil Hodges. You know a million say my beer is wrangled the dry beer. How about you? Right now, why not order up or open up for

wrangled extra dry? Well it's going to be Kim McKenzie, the pitch to Bob Gibson. Can coming in the game as a record of three wins and one long. He's a left-hatter. He has runners at first and second and John and Neil and Tim Harkness pulled that third and first looking for a possible bot. Gibson was struck out by Roger Gregg his first time. Up he's the right hand battered. Here's the front pitch right over the top of his head. He goes down quite on the ground. The pitch caught by Kuchukov and a one-handed get. Well that was right at the forehead. Gibson squaring around was looking at right in the eye right down the barrel and that ball runs right over the top of his head. He had to sit out in the hurry. One ball counter to the right hand batter. Those are really tough to get out of the way out. Here's the pitch back. It's a punt down for it. First picked up on the fly by Harkness but both runners get back to their respective bases in time. No play for Kim but out number one. So Kim McKenzie has picked up one out for Roger Gregg. Roger going out of the

ballgame officially worked three innings. He gave up the four runs in the game for the Cardinals while allowing the total of seven base hits. He struck out one and walked none. Roger ironically had not gotten the run while he was on the mound in 26 and 1-3 innings here tonight. He got three and couldn't stay in the ballgame. Here's the battered Kirk Blutt. Kirk triple his last time. Up here's one for two. Right hand battered. 4-3 the Cardinals lead and there's a bouncy ball fouled on the third base line. Cardinals with two runs in the bottom half of the second half of the match score at three. Then they tied it up in the bottom half of the third. Added one more right here in the bottom half of the fourth and that's half one out. Now McKenzie's set and comes back to the play. In front line's one in the right field of bases. 3-4 coming over. Fixed it up. Going from second bases.

Going to third on the play Jean Oliver. The Cardinals have the fifth run in the game. That was a line shot down on the right field side. Jim Harkness at first base who was playing off of the back couldn't get to it. The ball is at that heart. Now the Cardinals lead by a score of five to three. That's half one out in the batter will be Dick Groot who has a double and two times. That run charged to Roger Craig. He has been charged now with five. The base hit of course going to get Ken's McKenzie. Going against Ken McKenzie. Runners at first and third. The infield playing back for a possible double play. Jean Oliver a dirt base with slow man. One very fast at first.

The pitch by McKenzie is a fastball high and inside the Groot ball one. Jay Hutt now throwing for the match in their bullpen. Harkness with two one and two in the line three innings. Hutt in front five to three. Roger got off. To a start he had three nothing lead but couldn't hold it. Now the pitch back is high for ball two. Two balls and no strikes to Dick Groot. Dick Groot in the run his last time up and he double to right center field. The score occurred quite from third base. The RBI for Dick is twenty first. He's betting three forty one. Here's the pitch to Dick. Bad ball outside to play out of first base with flood beats attack. Now three balls and no strikes. I kind of got very much as I was a pitch out the ball was

fast the outside part of the plate down around the knees and it's doing all it's a pretty tough time to put a pitch out on. The way it was executed a little bit like a pitch out though. Do you two go in the catcher giving the signs by leading off at first? The on deck batter is Bill White. Here's the set position. And the three old pitches look after ball four. That'll roll it up. What's moving on down the second base is Groot gets first base three. He's all over on a third and Bill White now coming up. First walk of the game issues by the Metfitch's Roger Craig on the losing side of the pitcher record right now. He worked three innings and the Kenji in relief right here. The bottom half of the four. Bill White a left in batter. Bill is over two. It's real back. There's a check in the swing but on the top team the strike fast fall up by strike one.

Kenji looking for the sign. His first loss came as last outing. Now time gone as Bill White moves around in the batter spot. Base is loaded for the Cardinals. They lead five to three. There's a little handle pop up down towards third base in foul territory and the catchers may. Both went up by our former singles and it's feel viral as in effect with the ball as in foul territory. And the start there. Jim and I now as McKenji picks up Bill White but now you'll have to work to stand yourself. Damn Betty where the base is loaded as a whole run in two times up in this game.

His seventh moment of the year. And again he now wins and comes to the play but the curve ball at the strike call. One strike count the outfield jitter toward right field against Dan the man. Kenji a long look now gets that and comes to the plate. There's a swing in the message like to go get way out in front or to the stand there. Dan Musil with a lifetime total of nine grand slam home runs. National league leader is Gil Hodges. He had a total of 14. Gil now off the active list.

Two strike bits to Musil and there's a foul ball down the left field line out of the play. So again holds it all in two. He now over on a third base. Third brought it second and Dick wrote it first. All right knows where the base is loaded. They lead by a score of five to three here in the bottom half of the fourth inning. And that's half two men out. Here's your eighth man the bat in the inning. He waits patiently as McKenji takes a long time. Now he takes too much time as Dan steps out of the batter's body. Dan is real good shape. It's amazing how he keeps his weight. Now he's back in. McKenji looks again and now wins. Here's the pitch to stand Musil and it's just outside foul one. One ball and two strikes at pitch breaking away from Stan.

And Stan was going with the pitch. He was ready to hit it to left field if the pitch was over. Dan's all run in this game. A long one to right center field. One of the longest that you'll see of it. Ball running on the right center field for billion on top of the road. There's McKenji had one and two and there's a foul back on the screen. So they can't hold it one ball and two strikes. One time to believe it Stan has 470 career home runs. He's way up there. Of course he holds just about every record in the national league box. He's surpassed the Major League record for total bases this year. That was one he wanted. They're having more total bases than even Dave Ruiz. Now again the one two pitch and there's a bouncy ball slowly hit the first base. It's time to harsh and fix it off and throw it to McKenji in time.

Hustle is given on his knees, split on his knees and couldn't find the ball. He had to get up and pick it up and it got Stan Musil by his step. I talked this through to McKenji. Well 15 years ago you could have never got Stan. He lost the chance of keeping around a gun. In the inning for the St. Louis Cardinals as they sent eight men to the plate. A total of two runs on three hits. One air and three men were left on and the score at the end. Four any to play. The St. Louis Cardinals five New York met three. Well Bob has already given you the scores and maybe he can give you another quick ride down of just the total as they move along in this ball again. Here's Bob Murphy. All right, Robby. A Braves picked up one more in the fourth inning. They lead Pittsburgh to nothing after four and a half. Friend against five. Billi is two since about he nothing at the end of five. McCurse against Perky. In the America, they go to the seventh inning at Yankee Stadium. Yankee's five watching him three.

Ron Flan is relieved Dave Stenhouse. They're underway and let us throw the no score at the end of one white sire stunning twin stepping. Herbert against Stichman. Last to the eighth inning in Cleveland now. Orioles seven Cleveland one. Lefty Dave McNally has replaced Mike McCormey. Two run homers Fabrics Robinson and Russ Snyder. Tigers two red sire standing after four. Monbuket against the Gary Kailan at two run homer. Not yet underway in Los Angeles. Now we go to the fifth inning here and Ron Hunt comes up against five Gibson. New York now trailing by two. The score five to three. Ron hitless in two times. Gibson whanning. Here's his bitch. Best ball to tie. One ball to no strikes. Now Gibson over the head. Don comes to run arm and the fast ball is over a call strike. One ball and one strike. McCurse don't have an off say pitching change for the game

to Merle. They had given Ray Washburn. But Washburn started against the Cubs on Wednesday. He went only two innings. But now it will be Ray Sadecki. A ground ball hit the shortstop. Handled rooted by Dick Groot and Ron Hunt is on. Groot trying to go off to his left to feel the ground here but is unable to come up with it. It's an error in charge to Dick Groot. Now the hitter will be Duke Snyder. Duke has struck out and hit a pop fly taken by Julian Javier. Over two. Gibson high throwing right hander off the stretch. Jersey's bitch is swinging and a miss strike one. Jim Harkman is on deck and then it's train ball. KCS 4 left hand batters in a row now to come up against Bob Gibson. Next to Snyder, a gravity hit fouled on towards Sally Himmys.

And a strike two on Duke Snyder. Now before that, Duke get a home run off his old Azure room made Don Drysdale. For Snyder, it was his seventh of the year. One ball and two strikes. Snyder is now only four home runs shy of that coveted 400. Any Matthews reach number 400 this year. The one two bitch, a swinging and a miss strike him out of the high hardwood. That is the fourth strike out for Bob Gibson. And the hitter now is Jim Harkman. Jim has been up twice and on base twice. He was hit by a pitch in the second later scored.

And he drove walk in the third inning. Here's the bitch to Harkman. It's a high fly ball. It's the right field. It's fairly deep. It's right up against the wall waiting for it is the right fielder. George Oven and he makes the catch for the off. Moral just fairly shy of being a two run homer for Jim Harkman. This off and was back as far as he could go to take it. He went to the wall to get his location and then came back about one step to make the grab. Now there are two away on the hitter of Eddie Greenville. Eddie has drawn a walk's quarter run and singled a right center field. One hit and one time at back. Strike fastball on the outside corner. Battle of left handers tomorrow, race of Ecky and Al Jackson. Double header on Sunday and then winds up the road trip for New York and they head home Sunday night.

In the dirt scooped out by a teen Oliver, one ball one strike. So far this year the Cardinals have played better on the road than they have at home. But they're here tonight to open a good homestand and they hope to gain some ground of the nice and big race. Right now they're four and a half games out. Breaking ball down around the knee is two and one now on Eddie Greenville. They are in much better shape than they were a year ago. They have been getting a real good stitching from Ernie Brolyo from Kurt Sevenths and from Brey Washburn. Fishing two and one strike on the in fact one or two and two now on it's train pool. Eddie making his first swing to the western half of the circuit as a regular player for the New York Met.

Counter two and two as he cocks the bat. Now the pitch back Gibson inside and low it's for all three. Gibson throws a lot of pitches when he works in a ball game but he is certainly strong and rarely tires. He backs 185 pounds on a six foot one inch frame. Fishing three and two. The runner goes it's outside ball four and now the next step is coming on. Eddie Greenville has been up three times now against five Gibson and been on base all three. Now a two minute way and two on. Shoot you Coleman comes under here. Gibson now has walked five struck out four. Given that three runs allowed two hits. Cardinals lead five to three.

Swinging another strike one. Two two betting about 170. The outfield around toward right. Pick off play. Throw the second not in time. Run. Hustlides back safely. They're crowed cutting in to take the throw from got five Gibson as they tried to pick off run. First time two two came up and I didn't get a hold of one but he pulled its foul. It was out toward the upper deck. Fitch back Gibson he let's up on this one outside one ball and one strike. Been a little five runs eight hits. New York three runs on two hits were in the top half of any number five.

Fitching one and one and it's popped up on the right side of the infield. Calling for a bill white the first base but any grabs it met away between first and second to reach out to the side. No runs no hits one error and two left on. We've come halfway at the end of four and a half running from the score. The Cardinals five and a met three. My dear is right on the drivey. Think I'm trying to win where you drivey. It's not bitter, it's not sweet. It's the dry flavor treat. Won't you try next to drive on the drivey. And now you can enjoy famous grind old extra drive a new jug above. It's the personal. At the end of four and a half runs the score. The Cardinals five and a met three. My dear is right on the drivey. Think I'm right on whenever you drivey. It's not bitter, it's not sweet.

It's the dry flavor treat. Won't you try next to drive on the drivey. And now you can enjoy famous grind old extra drive a new jug above. It's the first and only beer container with a white mouth and a top that's so easy to open. Just pull the tab on top straight up and straight up and off. You drink right from the jug of mud.

Think I'm right on whenever you drivey. Think I'm right on whenever you drivey. Think I'm right on whenever you drivey. Find a great way to drink grind old beer. Now before the cardinal pin on the home spinning, let's pause for patient identification. Hey, ten on your dial. W-G-Y is connected. The voice of the medicine, the great Northeast. The time now of our general electric clock is 10.30.

Bob Murphy with Lindsey Nelson and Ralph Canner from Saint Louis. Last half of the fifth inning. Any boy here is the first one fouled back into the screen up in McKenzie. Strike one. Boy here, single to left center and popped out to choose to call. Moonsville, Kenny has one hit and two times a. Boy, you're hitting 304 as it's five home runs. A drive of the other right feels free. Bull hurries back reaches up. Make the one in, Jeff. What a way, that ball was hit hard to the opposite field back in, Boyer. And the hitter now will be the right field. There's George Altman. Altman reach safely on a force play and later scored in the second. He reached on air, tries to rise to drag in the fourth inning and later scores. Well, officially, George is over two, but has scored two rides. All right, pop up to George right field. Harkness backing down the line.

He's right on the line. Make the catches a parable, two men down. Two up and two center side that brings on Julienne Hattie air. Hattie air, a very fast man, batting at 270 with four home runs and 10 RBI. Tonight, Hattie air has sacrificed to turn his battle, although he was actually funny for a base hit. And then the single that shall outfield. Cardinal five in the mess three, we're in the last half of the fifth inning. In McKenzie in relief of Roger Drake. That's just a swing in a mess right one. Joey Perstall is wearing uniform number two tonight, but when the mess gets to New York to open their home stand, he will take as the affirmative number, number 34.

Next fish by McKenzie. Way in fact, you two had to learn it for it. One ball and strike. Now McKenzie with a 1-1 fish. Bobby Errol likes his foul. Back over the roof is out of play. One ball and strike. They lost five runs, eight hits, they've had five left on. New York three runs on two hits and the mess have had six left on. Next fish on the way, straightens him up, it's inside and high on the count even two balls and two strikes. Last to the seventh inning in the Yankees stadium, now Yankees five, Senators three.

Off the outside corner and we have a full count, three and two on Hullian Havier. Bidging three and two. Way in fact is ball four and Havier walked. Kinsey had him two strikes, but loses them and Havier goes to first. That's the second one. It really is back in the Kinsey and it brings on his team Oliver. Oliver doubled it, driving in a run in a second, and he's single driving in a run in the fourth inning. So Oliver has two for two, two runs, it's bad of him. If 13 and 14, there will be eyes of the year. There goes the runner, the pitcher's side, the big match you choose, safe, he steals the base. You choose throw in the third, scooped out by Ron Huff, and Havier slides in with a stolen base.

Five innings, complete, Milwaukee two, Pittsburgh, nothing in Milwaukee. Billy's got three in the sixth inning in Cincinnati, they lead to red, five, nothing after five and a half. Nothing yet on the Dodgers and Giants. Jay Hook goes back to work in the New York ballpen. Oliver waiting, fast ball over for a ball strike, one ball and one strike. They're on the eighth inning in New York now, Yankees five, wiping them three. White sacks and twins, no score at the end of one. Cleveland got three in the eighth, they go to the ninth, ball to more seven, Cleveland four. Reds back three in the fifth inning, they lead three, two over, Detroit after four and a half. Change up the solver for a strike, one and two now on Zenolyphus.

Now Ken McKenzie getting his sign from Tutsu Coleman. Bobby Er, who drew a walk in the stole second, leads off second base, there are two away. Fitting one and two, a round ball with a big hop to short, Fernandez takes a bad hop, those over is head and on in the left field. Bobby Er comes in the store and the Cardinals lead six to three. Fernandez backed off to play a long hop and as he did so, the ball took a bad hop and went even higher and over is head and on in the left field. Seen Oliver, the Cardinal catcher now has three for three and three RBI's. Each stand up he has connected safely and driven a run in. He had a home run and yesterday's game in Chicago, giving Brolio a one-and-a-nothing mound to a win over Dick Ellsworth. Bobby gets in the batter, round ball raked foul down toward a earned bench in the third base goal.

Run score, the turn is to get the Kenzie, Cardinal now leads six to three. Gipsen the pitcher, a right hand batter is up. Drive on and he's on up field, I guess the difference is going. Going in here, come on home run. Bobby gets in, running a two-round homer up into the upfield. He's turning the marker at the 358 foot mark. A two-round homer for Bobby gets in. First of the year for Bobby gets in and now a three-run inning for the San Luis Cardinal.

Gipsen is a good hitter. He has a lot of power. He came into the game hitting his 308. Re-run's in now for the San Luis Cardinal. They now lead eight to three in the last half of the fifth inning. Fast ball over for a call strike to center-fielder Kirkblas. Now the Kenzie on of his line appears to the pitch to flood. A drive in the early right field in front of this one is Eddie Crainfield. Eddie has it on the side as well. Eddie number five, three runs. There were two hits. No errors and none left on. Now at the end of five, the score of the San Luis Cardinal's eight and the New York meds three. Well you know it's mighty pretty this time of the year. It kind of leaves you with one big impression. Nature is pretty wonderful.

Yes sir. That nature takes its course and things turn out excellent. The natural way is generally the best. This is through with beer too. Beer brewed the natural way is more refresh. You're going to taste better. Now a wrangled extra dry is brewed the natural way. Yes sir, it's the long, slow, costlier way. But it tastes off in taste. A taste that brisk and bright and clean beer through. That's why we say that wrangled extra dry is beer as beer should taste. Now look, what does it do to the natural thing? Enjoy a tall, forming glass of wrangled extra dry and discover the difference that dry makes. You'll be glad you did. Only remember to make it rain gold. Rain gold extra dry. Now the ground crew has come out to mature the infield at the end of five and we'll be going along to the six tonight.

Rain looked over the first five and he's scoring eight runs on ten hits with five left on. Charlie Neal now hoping to get it going against five yips and the fast ball is fast bad. One ball in no strike. Charlie's single to center field in the strike and with the base is loaded, driving two runs in. His key blow puts a mess in front to nothing. A drive hits down the right field and is drawing foul. Fast to ball then and into the seats. One ball and one strike on Charlie Neal. Right hander Jay Hook has continued to warm up in the ball fence. Okay people, the time being, as Jay Hook relegated to the ball, Ben hoping he can regain his sharpness. Bowled at stairs and out of play. Of course, Kayce, he considers Jay valuable as a starting curve but also a field fence. If he had to use them in release, he could be quite a release pitcher.

He throws the side and when he only has two or three yennings to go, I'm going to really go all out. He can really throw lightning. The one to delivery, breaking ball outside, two and two on Charlie Neal. Charlie has to hit the dirt. It's inside the high. He was not glad with that one. So we have a full count of three and two. Now Gibson ranks up and comes east side. Just low ground or tap towards short. Handle by Dick Crote. Here's the peg on the white, in time and Charlie is out. Well, away nobody on in the top half of the six. Sitting, they'll break up Tiko Fernandez.

Tiko, hitless in two times. I pass round that out second to first and then struck out. Now right, Kayneal has come out on deck to bat for Ken McKenzie. Brown ball, it down to third. Boy, your backs off. Thanks to half. Now the throw. Inbound to Mendel. Right, Kayneal coming on now to hit for Ken McKenzie. And Jay Hutt will take over the pitching in the last of the six thinning. Rod right hand batter. Getting it 133. Outside and low, it's ball one. Jay Hutt will be the third best for use to that back. Kaycee gets in pitch on the way off the outside corner.

It's ball two to an oh. Rod's off season home is free field Missouri. And anytime the events are playing here in St. Louis, he usually has several members of his family on hand for the Surrey. Now the two old delivery. Ball three is outside at three and nothing down on Rod Ken Neal. Jimmy Perth, all coming out on the on deck circle. That's a strike on the outside corner three and one. That's where all the two hits in their final game in Lausanne. It's just by down drive still. Both of them were home runs. That's over strike two and the string is out three and two. Two outs, nobody off. Gibson has not given up a hit since Crainville single of the third inning. Live all of the year at a right center field cutting over to your dolphin. He's in front of it and makes the catch for the off.

Battery tired at the top of the six but ain't no runs, no hits, no errors and none left on. At the end of five and a half the score is a cardinals eight and the New York match three. Well, Tavern owners all over town have just adopted out their welcome. That's given their glasses a little extra shine. Yes, they're all set to welcome you during a national tavern month to the same friendly half the television show all year round. So be sure to drop into your neighborhood tavern soon. Funny every relaxing atmosphere and always on hand. Funny of cold, refreshing, rain gold extra dry. Fans' rain gold is fair as fair should taste. Dry tells you why. It tells you that rain gold is brewed the long, slow, costlier way for a taste that's frisk and bright and clean clear through. Now what better way to salute national tavern month than with a glass or two of rain gold extra dry? Enjoy some tonight.

Now Jay Hood will make his first relief appearance of the year after eight and starting assignments. He has one one and lost five. This will be the first ballgame that Jay has been in eight days and so he is in need of the work. In case you stangle, let's take this opportunity to let Jay get in some good work. In McKenzie it worked two innings. He gave up three runs, three hits. McKenzie in relief walked to and he struck out none. So now it's Jay Hood and leading off with the St. Louis Cardinals will be a better

in the short stab, Dick Groot. Dick doubled the right center and the third and he drove walk in the fourth and he won for two batting in three forty-one. Nobody on, nobody out, last half of the sixth inning. Now Jay out of his land at McKenzie's pitch and the fastball is over to Groot's rank one. Marlough two left-anders raised for Becky against the outdecks. Double header on the Sunday. Check swing and a bouncer out in front of the plate, grabbed by Tutsu, the big to Harkness in time and Groot is out. One away, nobody on now, the home of the sixth inning, the hitter will be Bill White. Bill came in the game, hitting a three to all, he's 0 for three in this one. A infield pop fly, a fly ball to short, right, and he fouled out the third.

Pittsburgh night warrants fine out of the box in the sixth inning. They scored seven runs. William Stargel had a three run homer, Farris now leads the brave seven to two at the end of five and a half inning. Strike one to Bill White. Farris traded off, veteran Bob Skinner at the get a pinch at her in Jerry Lentz, to turn over an outfield post to young William Stargel. Now Jay Hook and Tutsu Coleman have a little get together out between the mouth of the hole. Outfield deep and around toward right. Off the outside corner, one ball and one strike. Now White lets it go and it's off the outside corner, two balls and one strike.

Starting off with this game that had her opening a good homestand, on this homestand the chance will be coming in to St. Louis. Johnny Keen feels his ball club has hit a good stride now. Now the two in fifth, inside and loaded goes to three and one on Bill White. Now Hook with a three one pitch, all four is inside and low and White goes down to first. Now Stan Museo. Stan, both of his seventh homerun of the year, his first time up in the last half of the second. His homerun may just score three to one in favor of the mess. Since then Museo has grounded out twice so Stan has one for three. Now White leading on first, the best of Museo's way up high, one ball and no strike.

So all over and Cleveland, the Orioles beat Cleveland seven to four, Mike McCormick winning his first game in the American League, Sam McDowell losing, two run homers by Robinson and Snyder. I throw the first none in time. Birds of Billy Hitz got currently leading the American League tonight when their tenth game in eleven starts. Off the outside corner, ball two to an o. One out and one on last half of the sixth inning, St. Louis Eighth in New York three. Now Jay up in pitching position, delivers a high effect to first, but you two, it's not in time. White gets back and Hook is going behind on Stan the man, three and three. Now the three offense, that's over a call to strike one, three and one on Museo.

Let's play the infield around toward right against Stan, the outfield deep and also pull to right. There goes the runner, a high pop foul, maybe beyond reach, running hard, run hard and foul proud of still running, look out, run. The obvious reach lands on the warning cloud, just the obvious reach after a long long long run. Bill White was running on the three-one delivery, he has to retrace his steps. Count us pull on Museo now at three and two. Cardinals have home runs, the game tonight by Stan Museo, the bass is clear, and the man on by pitcher Bob Gibson. Now White hitching away, there he goes, here's the pitch. It's fouled again, back upstairs, no play.

Once again, White will have to hurry back. Cardinal Brott, cast the hurry and carry on to take net out track to catch the foul ball. Bill White getting in his win, friends, with Museo hitting on three and two leads our first face once again. After the first, not in time. All over at Yankee Stadium, White he afforded when he has fourth game of the year, Yankee's five, Washington three, losing pitcher day in Stan House. Now Jay steps up, big hit in the Yankee game with Pepa Tone's three running home, or in the sixth inning. Why do you want all the way to win? There he goes, the pitch, strike three, call the peg down the slide, he is out for a double play. He goes for Nandes, putting the tag on Bill White.

Usual was found out on his tracks on three and two, and Coleman's bag, if he goes for Nandes, makes it a double play. In the sixth inning, no runs, no hits, no errors, and none left on. So at the end of sixth, the score, the same with his Cardinals eight, and the New York match three. We'll be going along to the seventh inning, and I'll set to follow the action for you, Lindsay Nelson. All right, Bob Murphy, we'll be going here to the top half of the seventh inning. And the match, of course, will be going home on Sunday after the double header here, and we'll be opening up the Polo Grounds on Tuesday night. Now, big day coming up at the Polo Grounds a little later on. It's old-timers day, Saturday afternoon, June 22nd, and that's on the finish. We'll play the regular leave, get you a game of that afternoon, but

one of Major League stars from the New York metropolitan area will be there for old-timers day. The American League stars against the National League stars. Even now, two of the Major's trophy gamut, when the match on the Yankees will be played in Yankee Stadium on Monday night June 3rd, tickets for our hill, for that one right now, don't mess, take it out, let's. Jimmy Peresall is at the plate for the match here in the top of the seventh, Bob gets some lines and fires, the pitches outside the ball one. Peresall has fried the center, walked and popped out to short. Chokes up a little on the bat. Here's the pitch, outside for a ball. Two and on out of Jimmy Peresall. With the Cardinals leading the match, fry a score of eight to three. Peresall waits and the pitch. Here's in there for a call, strike is two and one.

And there again for a call, strike to it. Two and two and out of Peresall. He is leading up for the match. That's our only two hits off Bob gets him that far. Here's a swing at a place foul ball to the right side, not a play, count holes at two and two. Charlie Neill had a two run single in the second inning. And Ed Crainfield had a single up the middle in the third inning, and that's all here's the match that Bob gets in. Here's a check playing foul ball and excuse me swing actually. That Peresall was turning the take as in the ball's match, obviously that end of the stand for the right side of the play. The Cardinals eight to that three. That pitch is outside and it's a full count now to the Peresall. Ron Hunt is waiting on deck. Gibson with a wind up and the playoff pitch, Ron Hunt has a ground ball he's short, big throw it over up with it. Those on the first end time for the odds.

Peresall is grounded out. One away nobody on base and Ron Hunt is coming up. Granted out to pitch into Peres, granted out second to Peres and was on on Broce Ara in the top of the fifth. That scored three runs in the top of the second, so second three nothing lead here tonight. Let's good not hang on as the Cardinals first tied at three three and then moved on ahead and added to it if they need eighth to three. That gets him with the pitch. It's Ron and slam ball into the upper deck back in Peres Bay. A strike one count to Hunt, playing before the whole post that it were here. He is an Eddie Miseric. He's in eighth Peres season and the major lead. This pitch is high from all it's one and one. Ray Westford will be pitching tomorrow for the family of Cardinals. lead the first lady's day of the season here in St. Louis.

And our captain will be pitching tomorrow for the match. A lot of Gibson will be lined up and the pitch outside for a ball. Two and one to Ron Hunt. Jimmy Peresall is joined the club. This canadero was sent to Buffalo and family Taylor was recalled and should report tomorrow. And then somebody else left to be cut to make room for him. There is a pitch high three balls and one strike. Ron Hunt outside the batter's box for the moment. Looking down to Cookie Lobby Jettel. Still doesn't have a science break. Cookie runs and threw again for it. Now he's stepped in. Gibson wins and fires and the pitch is high and he walks you. The Ron Hunt goes to first for the base on balls. Number six issues by Gibson in this game.

And that brings up Duke Snyder. He's struck out swinging. Lobby is struck out and struck out swinging. He's tied to the left hand batter. Gibson nods that's not lead to first place in the pitch. Here's high and tight for ball one. Tim Harkness waiting on deck. Here's a swing and a ground ball foul. Fielded by Polly Hamas on the coaching line to third. It's a 1-1 against Snyder. A group of met fans here tonight in St. Louis with assorted invaders. And turning the wash tub. Turning their immediate tensions to let's go Duke.

It just went on and fouled back and out of play. It's 1-2. One man out on the run with praise for the met. Sadding on the top of the seventh. The pitch is outside for ball, it's two and two. Starting was starting the night in third place in the national league standing. One and a half came out. Again, Gibson said. Here's the two two bits to side. He's going on. It's a ground ball to the right side, taking my white. He's going to have to go to Gibson at first. In time for the out. A thought move on to second. And now we're on a dollar station to identify them. So as we pause for station identification. The voice of the met's in the great North East. WGY's connectivity.

It's 11 p.m. This is Lindsay Nelson with Ralph Kiner and Bob Murphy and St. Louis, Missouri. Jim Harkney's up for the met for the 100th second base in two men out. That Gibson was the pitch. Let's up in there for a call strike. The cardinal's leading here by a score of eight to three. Harkney stood out of action from the last Saturday until Wednesday for the turn, Michael. Strike one, pitch. He is far excited. One and one. Ed Crayon Bull is waiting on deck. Gibson is up and set. His pitch way inside. Two ball, one strike.

In the second inning. When the met's got their three runs and again in the third. Arias Nanak was throwing in the bullpen. The Gibson said he's settled out. That still has a lot of them. That's only two hits. That one's fired high and his three balls in one strike not a Harkney's. Gibson has struck out four and walked six. That's loaded to base in the top of the second. When Harkney stood in by a pitch ball, he's got a three ball, one ball and walked and then Charlie and the other guy is to run single. Gibson said the three one, Harkney, is low and he walked Harkney. Well, number seven given up, I guess. So Harkney's going to throw his one hole in the second. Two minutes out and Ed Crayon Bull is coming up. Crayon Bull has walked, saying no to walk. So he's been on three times tonight. So he's leading at first and second and here's the pitch for Harkney's.

The ground ball is on joint second base. That's to be played in the hurry, but I'll be here and he plays it in time just in time to get Crayon Bull. So on the top of the seventh, the meds just no runs, no hits, no errors in two laps. And at the end of six mavennings, the end-fade low edge is the Cardinals eight, the meds three. And now our word from Bytroy is cigarette. We're the brothers four. We're singing out of Bytroy melody. But Bytroy's when his slide top case has modern ends can be. Now Bytroy sets the pace with the one and only slide top case. Bytroy opens. Slide shut tight. The crush proves. Bytop case that's right. That's right. That's right. Bytake a light. Slide shut so tight. Slide top case. Six mavennings. They only make much room for him. The latest is Bytroy's slide with the case that's right. Right inside. Slide. Slide open.

Slide shut tight. The Bytroy is bytop case. That's right. Bytroy takes the way. Like a bill cigarettes a case. Not too strong. Not too light. Bytroy's got. The case that's right. That's right. That's right. Bytroy. Slide shut tight. Slide shut tight. We're going to the bottom of the top one. And the carton opens. Stand up, Kent Boyer. He has tangled. Popped out to the catcher and lined out the right field. Jay looks. The third met pitcher of the evening is written here. It's fun. And it's going up the middle. From A.C. There's all that. Up with it. Lays it back down and Boyer turns and holds with his second hand of the game. Left and better. And right fielder. George Altman is coming up. He's in into a fourth play. On on an error by Craig at first. In fetching a throw from Jim Hartman. Popped out to first place.

Give me first off moving. We over towards right now. On the left and better. George Altman. Bet you then side for a ball. First off, the other question. One of the toughest jobs he does. The first time around is learning to hit. There's learning position. And of course the case like that. You have to spend on your teammates and on your bench. To instruct you about what you don't know. Hook with the pitch low for a ball. It's two and all to George Altman. Absolutely no wind blowing here at the moment. The flag on the flag ball in center. Motionless. Temperature at game time here tonight with 50-60 degrees. Here's a playing in a mess by big George Altman. Good one. It was a great threatening day here in St. Louis. And there was some rain. At various times throughout the day. We've had none during the course of this ball game.

Two on pitch. It's one on top of foul back and third. Neil gives it a run. Might have a play. The edge of the warning track can make the catch. No advance by Kent Boyer at first. Slowly on how the air coming up. Redid with a sacrifice in second inning when he actually punished for a base hit. But move the runner up and he was thrown out. He tangled in the board and laid his cord. Walks to the base and laid his cord. It's about him to fifth. It's the Cardinal's eighth to met three. Playing in a round ball foul. And a ball player has various personal habits with equipment. How the airman sits with the batting helmet on. With these clothed cabinets hip pockets. Many ball players do that. Others like George Altman then we put the helmet on over the cloth cap. In the mid-chloron and popped up towards second.

Let's go down and show it to him on the outfield. He makes the catch. No advance by Boyer at first base. Two men out at catch. Jean Oliver is coming up. He's been in the big man of the place tonight. He's going to be at set up three times. There's a double and two singles. And he is driven in a run each time. For a total of three. GQ's join us along the way. Stan Musil home right his first time up here tonight in the card. Number 470. For a career total to concern. Get Boyer leaves off the back in first base. Swing a foul ball back and out of play. Right one to catch. The end of this afternoon we'll bring up today on scores of all the other Major League ball games. The one places that's known and the many played tonight. Again Jay Hook with the pitch.

He's swung on and popped up. Some of the diamonds. Charlie Neal coming back. Neal is gone and he makes the catch halfway between home plate and the mouth. So ends the bottom of the seven. Externals got no runs on one hand. No errors in one left and at the end of seven innings. Let's say Louis. It's the Cardinals eight and the match five. And out of bring up today on scores of other games all around the Major League. Here is Ralph Kinner. Here's the score of 45. If you did see she's got to have got it by a score of 65 and 12 innings. And the cops will be coming in to open up the coming up all stand. The men's playing the cops on May 28th. The night game and a double adder, a big double adder, a Memorial Day in May 30th. Pittsburgh players with seven runs in the sixth inning have taken over the late for no walkie by a score of seven to two. After six and a half innings to play. Warren's run knocked out of the box. Hot print still pitching for the fire. Tank air and instructional. All runs in that one. Gamma Clish has given up only one run to eight. And in she leads by a score of five to one after eight.

The one by Gunner. All run in the eighth. Worst and not pitching for the Philadelphia. Good day for the Cincinnati Reds. But where's your guessworthiness? Hot thing, let's get to the San Francisco. It's going to be Sandy Gofax. The eighth left hander for the Dodgers. Against Warren Marishall. The eighth right hander for the San Francisco Giants. In the American light, the New York Yankees. Behind Whitey Ford, winning his fourth game. defeated Washington five to three. Oxford and Epitone all run. At Minnesota, Chicago leads due to one after four. Herbert and Stigman in that one. And Baltimore defeated Graven seven to four. To win that and stay in first place. Parked in four. Detroit two after six and a half. And Kansas City Scheduled Ad Law Sangers. All right, Ralph. Here's the pitch to two. Coleman, it is. Fungana at 12. It's strike one. And the top half of the eighth inning now. Is the Cardinals holding a five run lead over the match. Eight to three. Rod Gibson started. He's come all the way in. Here's the pitch. He drives the strike one. A little hardest to build. Whitey Bob is in the picture of the place. He Gibson just in time.

And the call now is safe. That first place. That call is safe. That's first place. Bye. Bye, Tom Dorman. And Gibson is protesting. Very honestly. Gibson's protesting. And Judges Oman comes back to the back. A really brave and seven to four. So we're not in safe first place. Fungana at 12. It's strike one. And the top half of the eighth inning now. Is the Cardinals holding a five run lead over the match. Eight to three. Rod Gibson started. He's come all the way in. Here's the pitch. He drives the strike one. A little hardest to build. Whitey Bob is in the picture of the place. He Gibson just in time. He's in time. He's in time. He's in time. He's in time. He's in time.

He's in there. Pricot strike, it's one and one. The Cardinals came into the club game with the worst home records. And they didn't have any games in the national race. They had one seven and a large eight. The match came in with the worst road record. One four or a large eight game. Ron Taylor is up and throwing in the bullpen long weekends now for the Cardinals. Swing and a gone ball ball. So it's one ball and two strikes to Grenades, but Neil is first to shoot you full when it's there. And Cliff Brook is coming out on deck now for the men. We J. Hook do up next. Yep, sir. With a patient in twang out at this, I just strike out number five for Gupton. He is walked seven, by the way. It's the second time tonight, Fernandez is struck out. And Cliff Brook is batting here for J. Hook. With one man out of runners at first and third, the car goes leading by a score of eight

and three. Cliff Brook is batting 129. He has one double, two long runs and five runs better than. It's just in there for a strong strike to Cook. Jump through the saw, swinging meds on deck for the meds. It's just outside for ball. It's one and one to Cliff Brook. That's trying to get a rally started here and the top half of the eighth inning. It's long on and ball back down to the straight, one and two.

Cook seven, seven to battery spot. Bob Gibson gets his side. Up and set. It's breaks inside. It's going to. And with J. Hook out of the ball again for a bench at its best place, the sound where it is, continuing to warm up in the mental sense. Fitch is high. It's a full count out of Cook. One man out. Neal is first. Church is over at third. Neal is at your G. Fitch is a call strike three and he outsides one in. Then it's over at third. Church is right back in.

Neal was not going at first. That's one man out. Cook took the pitch. He is called out on strike strike out. Neal takes for Gibson. And here's all comes up. Two men out. One is first and third. Jimmy Pierce all the night. And his first appearance in the national league. His first appearance as a New York meta. It's flight to center. Warmth popped out to short and rounded out short to first. Gibson's pitch for on at its going. And it's going to be a replacement for Pierce all. Coleman comes down to score. And Neal is going on to third. Brut up at the law plays it in. Run as a piece in here. Jimmy Pierce all has his first national league hit. He's first hit as a New York meta. His first run batted in and the score year now is eight to four. Ron Hut coming up to the Met. Hut tonight has got it out. Pitch it at first. Granted out second to first. He goes on on an arrow by growth and more.

So the Met's get one and they still have two runs. Wait two men out. Rod Gibson checks and deals. And it's low for ball on to Ron Hut. While the chance to run Taylor is still warming up to the diagonal. He goes eight to Met's four. Now Gibson's dead. Pitch is outside for ball. It's true and old to Ron Hut. Duke's not here is undecided to the Met. Get one more man on there. At least a situation of time on at the plate. Now Hunt waits for the two O'Pitch. It's on the way. Fire low. It's three balls. No strikes. Ron Hut. You know all of a step down from the plate to fire.

Let's went back. Duke's neither kneeling on deck. Get some looks around. Hunt getting his eyes and rabbit jettel. Now the three O'Pitch taken in there for a call strike one. Three and one. Hunt settles himself in there again. Gibson's pitch. Well that's a little never going back to the mound. Degging by Gibson. He blows out over the white inside. And the target is retired. In a top of the eighth, the Met's got one run. Two hits. There was one target on the left and two Met's left. So at the end of seven and a half. It's the Cardinal's eighth, the Met's four. If you like music, I think you'll love this.

For the first strike, the taste of rhino is what the food is. It goes with different tastes. And even with blood there. I wish I could do these when served with Jesus' life. In his life. I swat him. I swat him. He swat him. He swat him. He swat him. I swat him. I swat him. I swat him. I swat him. I swat him. He swat him. It's beer and it's beer. It's taste. Rhino's extra dry is brewed of the tricist ingredients. The long, slow, costlyer way. For flavor that's brisk and bright and clean, clear through. It's beer and beer should taste. Dry tells you why. My beer and pinegones are dry beer. 5B, running to Franko, and right now to 5B. It's not finished, it's not finished. It's the drive labor season for two cars. You run a drive, and Franko's is here. Number 1006, Starrer.

For the New York Met's free fee salary, then our free fee salary is the picture making is 11 the parents of this season. We had worked ten and two thirds innings, in which he's going to be 11 runs on 15 hits. He had one nine and lost three. Jay looked for two innings, in which he gave up no runs on only one hit. He struck out nine and he walked one. It's all over in Cincinnati. The Phillies have defeated the Cincinnati Reds five to one. Kyle McLeish with another five performance. Given the record, three victories and two losses, as he threw a four hitter with the Cincinnati Reds. Bob Brickie started with the loser. He was dining at the 6th to 7th and winning in the night. He got to be done to home it in the 8th, with nobody on for the Cincinnati Reds four. They're a lone run of the game. So Brickie now has won one and lost one. Gary's picture Bob Gibson up. For the drive no, he had a two run homer in the bottom of the fence. He ended into the seat and left. Facing high-drawing right-andered, Tracy Staller.

Swinging enemies. Gives him tried to put in the bottom of the fence and popped it up to Heightnitch at first, and then the second enemy struck out. Ford 45 beats the Cubs this afternoon. 65 and 12 innings. Brickie's on side for a ball. Tiger Cubs will be at the Polar Bonds next Tuesday night. Cubs will be there for the big Memorial Day double-header. Next Thursday, May 30th. It's in there for a trial strike. One and two to Bob Gibson. Tracy Staller works deliberately on the bottom. Here's a one-two pick. Swung on and missed. Staller's first strike out.

Right on back, the combined metfishing effort this evening has achieved three strike outs. Gibson twice. Dan Muudiel in the bottom to pick. His trick led, Jenny, up. Hopped to first, tripled. Stingled and driving around and blighted right. This way it drives the right hand. It's coming on his face. We can't get it. He won, hopped. It's making it back in. And tricked blood. Herring's on hold with his third patient again. With one man out, Dick's Road is coming up. He had a double-driving run. The bottom to third. Otherwise, he's downed out, walked and grounded out. Great. May his national cavern once and especially good time to visit your friendly neighborhood tavern and enjoy a kind of limed ol' extra drop. If you swung on and missed, right one.

I know it's eight and that's four and the bottom half of the eighth inning. First game of a four game series between these two jams and this here will wind up the rather lengthy road trip of the men. That picture's high. It's one and one. The red leads. Here's the picture. One and two of the dickrocks. You know, Ralph Conner, I never knew until the night that you and Dickrock were real mates at one time. You know, if I caught Dick, as you came up to the police, I would have gone back to the station. I was going to be dead because I didn't know as he came up to the fire in 1952 out of the University of Dirk and in a few little time together he talked a little about the ball and we didn't ever talk about it with 1952 pilots you know when it came to baseball we lost on his

well games that year all right he's in and waiting here's a one-two pitch it's going out and miss he's stuck about so there are two men out down on their foot strike out here on the bottom of the eight and Bill White will be coming up why the truck is flying the right side out there and wall this one's driven in the center field through saw coming up it's carried away from them they sent it off on one hop wheels and throws and moving on to field it is Creek Flat and Bill White I think of the better and a line shot seven away through saw land no chance to get out there scaring away from him he won off this way this back then we're doing that out of course blood is moving on to field and here's Dan Mugella the helmet on the bottom of the truck and round it out down it out the truck out there now they're fishing inside the ball one

right here's lead at first and third and a top side for a ball doing all the media and away three balls no strikes there's you with ten lawyer on deck down there's a sign here's a three o'clock it's low and he walks on the basis a load in right now in order to allow us to identify them so we follow some station identification they turn you dial W-G-Y and W-G-F-M's going to be the general electric stations the worst of the vex and the great port these the time is 28 minutes until 12 midnight

this is Lindsay Nelson with Ralph Cannon Bob Murphy and said Lord he'll try my all his running for stand here Bill come out right from your field where the base is loaded two minutes they determined to the night six thousand fifty two six oh five two and pictures outside the ball well there's one now he's throwing in the bullpen now for the men all one make out to boyars we're out of line to the right here for me first look at the door no one is on the tree he's cutting out the door five out pulls up the same base as the slow thumbs up the table

and standing up for the double attack in a tin boy I do not bet it in and the car knows we can before If you climb out of it first, Ken Boyer is that second. Who may not left him at the George Altman is up. I know Ken, that's four. He is in there for a cold strike once. He is just waiting to fly ball to the left. Right is coming on. Right is there and he makes a catch for the up. So an obnoxious field fly ball up to madam left and madam George Altman.

Did you see that madam left? Because the side and the bottom of the hay setting. The diagonal got two runs on three. It's no math error. Two men left and at the end of eight, four running. It's the Cardinal's 10 and the math score. Well, I've done three. You've heard the new official song of the New York Medicine title meets the math. It's played before each of our bright cats. It's played out inside your stadium. You're in the nature of math through it. And of course, it's played its phonograph. Before each game and between games is double-edged. Now there is a 45-armed beyond recording of heat semets available with a vocal on one side. And the mental version on the reverse side. You'd like to copy of the record meets the next and one dollar to math official song. Hello guys, New York 29, New York. One dollar to math official song. Hello guys, New York 29. New York. We'll be going to the top half of the ninth inning here.

And Newk Schneider will be up to lead off to the meds. Bob Gibson's got it and it's come all the way for the Cardinal. And has a lot of the meds four hits. New Carmell is staying in the ballgame. He came in to run for Newgill and Carmell stays in and left field. For the card. For the meds tonight's fierce ball is at one hit. Charlie Neill has two hits and it's rainfall at that one. Here's the fish to the Duke and it's low for ball one. New credit. It's pitch is low for ball. Orman bushing off the place.

And the bits inside for ball three and all decided. In San Francisco the Dodgers did not score in the top half of the first inning. One marriage out. That is inside the draw the wall. That is the eighth one coming up in this game by Bob Gibson. Here's the meds to make runner with nobody else. First place with Carmell is coming up. Harkness. Then hit by a pitch ball. Warp flies the right and warp. Gene Oliver the catcher has gone out to the mountain for a moment. At Gandalf's kickbox. Philippe felloo at homeic for the Giants. And the bottom of the first with one man on the Giants. Still batting and leading now by his throw of two the meds. Minnesota Harman killaboo as hit a grand slammer for the Minnesota Twins. And the bottom half of the fifth inning. So that they lead by a score of five to two and a still batting. I'm calling your not managing Johnny Key to county's way to the malls.

Everybody's fit you. So there's no managing Johnny Key. Meanwhile Bobby Schatz is throwing in the bulls. Crackles lead by a score of ten to four. And he's gonna go into the bullpen right here. Perhaps get some camera for the blister or some such thing. at after examination. Johnny Kean had taken us to the bullpen. And Shack is being brought on. Yipson walked slider on 4 pitch balls and right away Oliver went out. And then Johnny Kean came out and had to have a little conversation with the examination. And went to the bullpen.

So with a lead of 10 to 4, it would be I guess that a blister or something similar as it could. Now Tim Harkney stepped into the batter's box. We tried a lot at first and nobody out. And the little left-handed Bobby Shack looks at the goody side. As it now kicks and fires and pitches outside the ball one. We'll be on the air tomorrow afternoon from right here in St. Louis at 2.25pm New York time. Here's a pitch in there for a cold strike to Harkney. Yipson out of lead job for it. Quite not holding him on there with a 10-4 lead. Here's a swing and a bit full of a spring on him. It's 1-2. Bobby

Shack says, bend to the baseball. War is all around during his career. Initially, where the Philadelphia Athletics. There's 1-2 pitch and a side side for ball 2-2. Larry Sherry has been brought on in relief of San B. Kofax. It's kind of sick for Harkney with the guy I'm still batting the bottom half of the first. So they got Kofax out there in a hurry. Here's 2-2 pitch. War on and miss. So he can't get his first strike out. Now he holds it first. He had cramboats coming up. He walked. Tango walked and got it out second first. Tango swings about any weight. He's 1-2 pitch. He took a lot off of that. But Shack got Harkney's out of there on two off-peats.

He's up and set. That's his side side for ball. It's 1-1. Bobby Shack's came up, but we should initially with the Philadelphia Athletics went to the New York Yankees. Then went to the Washington-Ternivus on to the pitch-played Pirates to the Houston-Cold 45 and year to the San B. Kofax right now. Batter leads it first. The 1-1 pitch. Swarm on and popped up and balled territory down the line. It's 3-4. He airs us the line, waiting and he's there for the catch. Now to hold it first. Two minutes to the best batting in the drop of the night. Now we'll bring up Jim Hickman batting for 2-2 Goldman. We're the left-and-er Bobby Shack's in there, crazy single-aid. That's kind of the right-hand batter, Jim Hickman. And place a left-and-batter

pitch-played one. Ray Washburn, a schedule to pitch tomorrow for the Cardinals on Al Jackson to the mid. That he takes his lead out first. Pitches. We're not in this, it's right-two. The end of 1-1 inning a play in Candlestick Park in San Francisco is the Giants 5, the Dodgers nothing. They've got 5 big runs. The Giants did in the bottom of the press and Felipe Falou had a two-run homer. He's a fifth-one high in there, strike three, strike him out. Hickman goes out, swinging the end of all the game in the drop of the night. The match got no runs, no in, no in, no in. There was one left as the St. Louis Kainos win the first one. I'll just do it.

Keep in mind that the match will be at the Polo Gardens Tuesday night against the Chicago Cup. And they will be there for a double-hander on Memorial Day against the Cup as well and they get to now on sale. Here at Wishgate even in San Luis, if I know that second, the opening game of his tier from the meds by a score of 10-4. As the meds said, Jimmy Fierce all in the lineup tonight. For the first time, he was sped if they're in the lead-off spot. And he went one for four and a walk tonight. His first base hits with as a med came in the top of the 8-20 single to center to drive in a line. It's a great shot at the ball game for the meds. It had been 26-1-3 then except the meds got any runs for a big break. They got him three in a hurry tonight on the bottom half of the second. They go out in front by a score of three to nothing. They loaded up the bases when high distance was hit by a pitch ball, a painful walk in Coleman walk and Charlie Neill. The single is headed to drive in two runs and the meds run in front three nothing. But the Cardinals came right back as Stan Musil hit the 470 in number of his career to

open up the second inning. They got one more there and then came back to tie it up in the third and moved on ahead when they got two runs in the fourth and were never hit it from then on. Bob Gibson worked eight innings for the Cardinals before retiring and he afresh gets credit for the victory. He has a recognition of two wins and three losses. Bobby Shant's coming out to finish up for it. Roger Treck, just a loss he has now. One victory and five losses. So the Sandler is tight. No doubt now. Even up there are home records. They are one eight and lost eight at home. The New York Meds have now lost five games in a row. Here are the final totals for tonight's game for the Cardinals. Tim runs on 14 hits, two errors, eight men left. The meds four runs on only four hits. One error and eleven men left on base. So that just about finishes up another New York Meds baseball broadcast. Right now I'd like to remind you to enjoy vice Roy cigarettes. In the familiar sawpads on the new slide top case, vice Roy has got the case to try. Now this is Lindsay Nelson saying so long for

a round kind of bar maybe for a statistician Matt Winnick, our producer Joe Gallagher and our engineer Joe Boulevard and for Ryan Gold. Ryan Gold actually dry. Those two little words actually dry. Tell you why Ryan Gold is beer is beer should taste. Why Ryan Gold is preferred by more New Yorkers than any other beer.
